Why is there a superfluous hyphen in the thread title?
Weiland was a great performer. I was a huge fan of STP back in the 90's and early 2000's. I saw STP perform in 2000 at Jones Beach and Scott was in top form. Saw Velvet Revolver at the same place in 2005, and once again he was awesome. The big thing that marred his career, of course, were his drug problems. After a while, I got tired of all his bullshit and stopped paying attention. He was a great frontman, though. Considering all of his troubles, many predicted that he would die from them 20 years ago. It seemed like he'd make it through and live a reasonably long life.
Shit, I almost forgot. I did get STP's self titled 2010 album and it was actually really good. That was their last one with Scott.
I saw them open for Red Hot Chili Peppers at Jones Beach in 2000. I wasn't a fan of STP at that point but knew some songs. We were sitting in about the 4th row, middle. During Plush, Weiland makes eye contact with me from the stage, jumps down into the crowd, walks up the aisle straight to me and puts the microphone in my face and I sing "and I feel it".
Cool moment, made me a fan.
That's the show I was at. Technically, RHCP were the "headliner", but they were co-headliners. I was there to see the RHCP, but was also a fan of STP. STP stole the show that night.
sorry, i fixed it.Why is there a superfluous hyphen in the thread title?
They're one of the best singles bands ever.
