Stone Temple Pilots fire lead singer
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
FIRE Lead Singer Scott Weiland BREAKING NEWS Stone Temple Pilots has unceremoniously FIRED its lead singer Scott Weiland ... who's been the face of the seminal rock band for 20 years. The group released an ominously curt statement today, saying, "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland." They don't give any further explanation. It's pretty shocking for several reasons ... the main being Weiland has been a core member of the group since it came together in 1986. His voice has become synonymous with STP's sound ... on hits like "Plush," "Sour Girl," and "Sex Type Thing." Another reason this came out of nowhere ... Weiland denied rumors he was leaving the band just yesterday, telling Rolling Stone, "STP has not broken up. I haven't quit. I haven't been fired." Rumors of a split began a couple of months ago when Slash said STP had fired Weiland. STP reformed in 2008 after a 5-year hiatus and toured through last year -- but apparently it hasn't been working out. So far, it's unclear who STP has in mind to replace Weiland ... if anyone. Weiland is set to launch a solo tour next month. Read more: http://www.tmz.com/2013/02/27/stone-...#ixzz2M7YJSpty Visit the TMZ Store: http://tmzstore.com |

Yeah, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and a few others. Grunge was a fad that lasted only a few years because the music and lyrics were so depressing. There's not much market for that anymore. |

I thought the album sucked and the tracks I've heard from the next album suck as well. |

Pearl Jam is reportedly halfway done recording their next CD. Counting Crows just put out a CD of mostly covers about a year ago. U2 has become annoying, but they are pretty huge every time they put out a CD. RHCP have been pretty consistent. Ben ****ing Folds is still putting out great music.

Ironically, Grunge was every bit as faddish as Hair Metal.

I didn't need to look up a review to know that Cantrell's vocals dominate that album. |

But to claim that William took a backseat, especially when he co-wrote many of the songs, is just plain ****ing stupid. Like you. |

I wish I could find my cover for the album but I'm betting I could count the songs credited with DuVall as a co-writer with 3 fingers or less.

Saw STP live a couple years ago when they reunited, and they were surprisingly good. I'd heard stories of how they sucked lived, but they killed that night. Tons of energy, and played all their best stuff to perfection.
AIC last album lacked in two areas for me, inspired song writting (some of the lyrics and melodies were painfully bad), and their signature rhythms. As bass player I admire Mike Inez, but he and the drummer mailed in their performances. Instead of their simple groove with a hint of tribal-esque. beats they played straight boring rhythms. It just wasn't AIC for me. |
