    it would be incredible if GNR would play a VR tune in Scott's memory during their tour.

    Yea it would... Axl could pull off Sucker Train Blues. I'd also love to see Pearl Jam cover an STP song and a Motorhead song.

    Pearl Jam doesn't need to cover STP.

    Pearl Jam doesn't need to do shit, they could call it quits right now. But it'd be a cool tribute

    I'll agree to disagree with you on that one.

    Its been a year now. It still makes me sad. He left this world a seemingly broken man.

    I started with STP right along Pearl Jam when I got Core and Ten for Xmas 93 when I was 13. Estranged dad of 22 years wherever you are, thanks, and RIP Weiland and say hi to your heroes Morrison and Bowie.

    I'm not surprised he died btw. He just kept screwing up. I once listened to him as a guest DJ on 100.3 FM in Los Angeles months before he died and I could tell in his voice he wasn't happy and was just going through the motions. So tragic.

    ^^^ The writing was (has been) on the wall. Just like with every other fucking tortured person, unfortunately.

    RIP S.W.

    Almost the same, I had Ten, Core and Nevermind around the same time that forever set my musical taste.

    I may have heard that same interview; DJ would perform kind of a get to know Scott Weiland interview with exciting questions like, "where is your favorite place to vacation?!" And in the most monotone of syllables an answer from Scott would follow, "Maui." He truly sounded like a caged animal forced to participate.

    Wow, a year? That went by crazy fast. STP still finds its way into my regular rotation 24 years and counting...

    I remember Plush being on the MTV Buzz Bin cd, but I didn't like Core nearly as much as I liked Purple. Purple was an amazing album front to back, and the mix/sound on it was awesome. Eventually I learned to appreciate core but my first real STP album will always be Purple. I loved the STP catalog all the way through No. 4, but Shangri Lee Da didn't really grow on me, and I've only listened to the last album once. I do have them on vinyl so I'll give them another spin. I find with less free time to listen to music, I don't always give an album enough spins to grow on me. I guess that's the 21st century. I except things to pull me first listen.

    I saw STP 3 times. Twice in 2000. It was already well know Scott had issues back then and we wanted to STP before it fell apart. The closest show was the Tatoo the Earth tour in Portland, OR. For some reason STP got tagged onto the end of metal festival (which was pretty cool because we got to see Slayer open for STP :) ). Then a few months later they announced a Vancouver STP show. We bought tickets for that too. Went to the Vancouver show, drove overnight to Portland, slept in the car a few hours, and went to the festival. STP was amazing both nights. I saw them again here in Victoria around 2010, but it wasn't the same. Like the moving trainspotting, they kind of lost it.

    I also see V.R. twice, and both shows were pretty good too (it's just that I prefer the STP music catalog to the VR albums).
