« Maria Minerva readies new EP, adds NYC show w/ Butterclock +++ related news on Pharaohs, oOoOO & Hervé | Freshkills wave goodbye with NYC show at Union Pool »
Posted in music on February 27, 2013
This morning a press release went out that Scott Weiland has been "terminated" from Stone Temple Pilots. To that Scott says:
SCOTT WEILAND STATEMENT ON STONE TEMPLE PILOTS:Ironically, Scott's "solo" tour, which hits NYC, NJ and PA in March has him "Celebrating STP Core and Purple in their entirety".
I learned of my supposed "termination" from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be "terminated" from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday.

STP sucks anyway.

Who is comparing Pearl Jam to STP?

PJ and STP both suck. they couldn't hold a candle to Nirvana. even now.

That's like comparing The Beatles to Herman's Hermits.

Nirvana sucked live. Grohl on the drums was the only good thing about their performances. Always sloppy.

I wasn't going to go to the Weiland solo tour, but now I am. Great PR move!
Posted by Eddie Vedder | February 27, 2013 4:02 PM
Silverchair is actually a great band. Their music has evolved quite well over the years, and they are HUGE in Australia.

Hey Weiland, congratulations on being a total mess for 20 years. Hilarious that this "news" is surprising to you.
Posted by Anonymous | February 27, 2013 5:18 PM
I never got why people liked STP in the first place. They were obviously derivative of all the other crap that was out in the 90's.
