It’s a couple days old but I just read about it on Losanjealous. How many times is this now? 4 or 5? I’ve lost count.

I used to love these guys so much but its really hard to give a shit anymore. I was just talking about junkies right? Mr. Weiland should have a full time sponsor on tour with him. It’s sad. Remember how fresh Core sounded even though people claimed Weiland sounded like Eddie Vedder? And how great was Purple? Scott found his own voice on that record and it was solid! How much greater was it that the album didn’t even have the word PURPLE on it ANYWHERE! It’s listed on places like Amazon as self-titled, but who in 1994 called it that?

These guys were sooo good live. Weiland may still be a showman, but he certainly hasn’t maintained any kind of edge to his songwriting. It seemed that after every album Scott would fuck up, quit the band or they would throw him out, he’d make something sloppy or the DeLeo’s would make something sloppy, and then they’d get back together and make an album just a little bit less good than their previous record until they weren’t putting out a quality product anymore. This proves that these guys were truly greater than the sum of their parts. And that is the definition of a band to me.

I couldn’t get into Velvet Revolver. I wish that Cherry Rose would have happened instead. That was the rumored project with the remaining members of Guns N’ Roses and Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd. But alas it wasn’t meant to be. Ok, I’ll admit it, I still kinda want to see STP again for nostalgia’s sake i guess. So i suppose we can start the chess clock on Weiland’s next drug Arrest.

Who wants in on the pool? I’ve got my money on possession and DUI for July.
