MyNameIsPencil: Rest In Peace, Scott Weiland.

MrSirLordGentleman 12.04.15	Such a great vocalist Drugs taking another victim
L4titudes 12.04.15	RIP indeed one of my earliest musical influences
RogueNine 12.04.15	Literally just heard about this 10 seconds ago and came to Sputnik to verify. Dang, this is really terrible.
mandan 12.04.15	RIP hard, the man had quite a strong voice.
MyNameIsPencil 12.04.15	So out of the blue too. I mean I knew he has been struggling for a while but fuck
heck 12.04.15	STP are one of my all-time favorite bands and at least half the reason why was Scott. talented as fuck and when he had it together, he was truly one of the greatest frontmen in rock. it felt inevitable given his history but this is still hitting me hard.
Calc 12.04.15	this is both surprising and not at all surprising. always liked this guys voice too
Muisc4Life26 12.04.15	It sucks. I Love STP, they had some great stuff. He will be missed.
MyNameIsPencil 12.04.15	I wouldn't say this wasn't the most SURPRISING thing ever but this is still really hard hitting for me too
DoofusWainwright 12.04.15	Great singer, very sad day If you haven't listened to it give this year's song 'Youth Quake' a spin
henryChinaski 12.04.15	Damn...RIP
TheSonomaDude 12.04.15	Not surprising at all but still huge RIP, great singer who wrote lots of great tunes.
Spec 12.04.15	We all knew this news was coming but it still seems too soon. Rip Scott.
EvoHavok 12.04.15	Pfff... RIP.
Koris 12.04.15	RIP so fucking hard
Davil667 12.04.15	That's terrible news... Really sad. Will jam STP discog right now. R.I.P.
Spag 12.04.15	RIP, loved STP growing up
zakalwe 12.04.15	So it was drugs that finally killed him? Woah I thought drugs were OK within reason and weren't harmful. Given that the fella had battled with his demons for 20yrs he must have been really under the kosh, all those times in and out of rehab. He was trying to change. Bless him. Society and his mental faculties are to blame as he would've been mentally incapable of making a choice, because people are nasty and drugs can be moreish. #legaliseheroin
DinosaurJones 12.04.15	Dang man, I was just jamming some STP and Velvet Revolver for the first time in a long time yesterday. He was a great singer. Shame. RIP
Rowan5215 12.04.15	never really listened to STP but still sad times, RIP Scott
onionbubs 12.04.15	STP was such a great band. Scott was really a fantastic vocalist. So sad to see him go. RIP.
torts 12.04.15	wow this is crazy, RIP hard
Zig 12.04.15	Fuck drugs. Another great vocals gone. RIP.
Riviere 12.04.15	Gonna go jam Core now. RIP
Sinternet 12.04.15	Damn never been a huge fan but he was crazy talented, RIP
Rowan5215 12.04.15	man how many artists gotta die of drug overdose before people stop idolising the heroin-taking die-for-your-art rockstar lifestyle, for real
altertide0 12.04.15	all of them
Rowan5215 12.04.15	well that's depressing
MasBarHigeuoris21 12.04.15	RIP hard. I was always a big fan of his and wanted to see him do good after being kicked out of STP a while back. Totally didn't expect this.
guitarded_chuck 12.04.15	"man how many artists gotta die of drug overdose before people stop idolising the heroin-taking die-for-your-art rockstar lifestyle, for real" theres a reason why grunge died off pretty quickly (besides the fact the genre generally sucked anyway)
ArsMoriendi 12.04.15	STP was never my favorite band, but I always liked their 90s stuff. It's a shame there won't ever be a proper reunion now.
Rowan5215 12.04.15	it's not like it's just limited to grunge bands tho chuck I mean it's like the rockstar dream for some fucked up reason
guitarded_chuck 12.04.15	do modern bands do heroin though i dunno maybe
JWT155 12.04.15	Dude had every reason to give into drugs at the end. Kicked out of his band, divorced, forced to tour to payoff alimony to his wife. Shame when stars are forced to make something that was a passion a forced full time job to even survive, I'm sure he was depressed and turned to drugs as an answer.
Tunaboy45 12.04.15	We always think they're immortal, and then when they're gone it's just devastating. RIP Scott, fuck drugs.
ManintheBox 12.04.15	Holy shit, STP specifically Purple will always hold many fond memories for me. R.I.P. Scott
Hawks 12.04.15	Never jammed these guys, but obviously always knew about them. Sucks to see drugs claim another life way too soon. Def gonna jam their first couple albums today. RIP hard. m/
MO 12.04.15	another tough loss to stomach, holy shit. a very hard RIP
Nazzadan 12.04.15	Saw Velvet Revolver when I was a kid, first concert I ever went to and it introduced me to STP. Feel terrible for laughing at an O&A compilation of them shittalking him and his wife motherfucking him, she seemed like a whackjob that fed into his addiction. RIP Scott
BigHans 12.04.15	Been jamming hard all day, RIP fucking Hard
deadcrown 12.04.15	@nazzadan what did they say about him
Nazzadan 12.04.15	Just that hes a piece of shit, has been on the show and half assed the appearance, stuff like that. And his wife was talkin about how shitty of a husband he was and how she burned all his stuff when they were breaking up. Here's some compilations. Funny stuff, just now kinda fucked since he's dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_WE6LQrCfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1HyABiaou0
deadcrown 12.04.15	yeah kinda fucked up but interesting stuff. wow this dude was a total enigma
Nazzadan 12.04.15	Yeah there's stories about him not coming out of the tour bus until like seconds before they are supposed to be on stage, forgetting lyrics to his own songs, and the famous one about him jumping out of his wife's car to run to his dealers house on his way home from jail for drug related charges. I think his ex tells that story in the second link. Very much so a posterchild for drug abuse
deadcrown 12.04.15	Yep. People are definitely gonna call him out for his actions but I wish he could've got the help he really needed.
CamiloG 12.04.15	Damn! This sucks hard. What a loss. RIP
Inveigh 12.04.15	RIP Scott Weiland also what the hell does this mean? please explain "So it was drugs that finally killed him? Woah I thought drugs were OK within reason and weren't harmful. Given that the fella had battled with his demons for 20yrs he must have been really under the kosh, all those times in and out of rehab. He was trying to change. Bless him. Society and his mental faculties are to blame as he would've been mentally incapable of making a choice, because people are nasty and drugs can be moreish. #legaliseheroin"
AmericanFlagAsh 12.04.15	RIP
Lord(e)Po)))ts 12.05.15	"Drugs taking another victim" /facepalm
zakalwe 12.05.15	@inveigh It means the man made his bed, he can lie in it.
Rowan5215 12.05.15	so in other words you're an idiot?
zakalwe 12.05.15	I'm sure Scotts children think he's an idiot.
Rowan5215 12.05.15	so in other words you're an idiot. cool.
HellPriest 12.08.15	Research has shown all heroin overdoses can be prevented. Don't use it.
MyNameIsPencil 12.08.15	well yeah
Nazzadan 12.08.15	his ex is TEEEEEEERRIBLE. http://www.stereogum.com/1847810/scott-weilands-ex-wife-children-share-obituary/news/
Spec 12.09.15	Because of the "don't glorify this tragedy" thing? (I can't open your link)
Nazzadan 12.09.15	Yeah. Shes always been really scummy towards him though. Shes bipolar as fuck. Not that he was a saint either
Spec 12.10.15	I thought it was a powerful article tbh.
Nazzadan 12.10.15	She doesn't mention that he was paying her nearly 750,000 in alimony a year, and when they split up she torched almost everything he owned. I wonder why he had a drug problem, the dude was forced to tour to pay his crazy ex. Take all that away though she does have a point about not glorifying the rock and roll lifestyle and just accepting that people are going to die in that line of work
Spec 12.10.15	Well to be fair I never heard about any of that damn.
Spec 12.10.15	wanna link me up to some sources?
evilford 12.10.15	Great dude rip I'm gonna cry like a baby when Roger Waters dies
Dis_Con_Nec_Ted 12.10.15	Gonna jam a some of my favorite STP songs in honor of him and his contributions to music. RIP
judasgoat 12.11.15	"It's weird when one of your first musical idols dies." No fucking kidding. When John Frusciante goes my world's gonna get fucked.
