STP no show tonight

Anon

STP played Atlanta last night. They were OK. Not great, not terrible. Some good moments and some pretty rough ones. I can see why they're not really known as a live band, although they can cut it live - they just didn't really do that much for me. I could've burned a CD of the songs they played and just turned it up really loud, it would've been about the same for me. Weiland seemed like he was talking to himself half the time.

"Interstate Love Song" is one of the ten best non-PJ tunes to come out of the 90s, however. They played their hits, a few things I didn't really know, and I'd say they were done in about an hour and 45 min.

Holla.

So glad that I get to see them at the House of Blues in a couple of weeks. That band is surely the hardest working, nose to the ground, non-fucking-stop touring band EVER.

And if a band member fucks up (like say...their drummer), they just replace him with a completely competent chick and roll on.

Im not sure how I feel about a chick being in the band.

my2hands

this is exactly why i didnt buy any tickets to see these guys on this tour...

i have zero respect for scott weiland at this point

azwyldcats

I do get how anyone would go see this band.

kenny olav

i am a target

Honestly, it's no different than when Nick was there.

Except that now you know that the band's on the same sheet of music. Literally.

I just typed in "Stone Temple Pilots" into Google and then hit enter. The first page listed is their official page.. obviously. There are a bunch of links listed below the site.. Tour, News, Line Up, etc.

The funny thing is that there is also a link that says "Worst Show Ever". I clicked on it and it takes you to a thread in their message board in which everyone is complaining that the 5/31 show at PNC in Jersey is the worst show they've ever seen... thanks to Scott's inebriated state.

It kind of seems as though the rest of the band is acknowledging that, thanks to Scott, they suck live now. Or whoever is running the website has a grudge against the band. Why would they showcase that link on the main Google page?


edit: and check this link out: http://www.foundrymusic.com/media/displaymedia.cfm/id/18262/
It gives insight on what went on backstage at that show

Granted the dudes a f*ck up but lay off a bit.

STP is on a "65" date tour this summer. I'm amazed they even attempted it. I'd say missing 1 out of 65 is actually pretty damn good for Scott. Who else is playing that many dates this summer?

Also, this band was amazing live back in 94-99 and they were known as a great live band. I think now the show is over though. Kind of hoping they don't put out a new record...sadly

I just took a look at stonetemplepilots.com and saw some pretty harsh comments on the Atlanta show...stuff about Weiland "obviously" being strung out and tension between the band members. Nothing I could pick up on from my seats, but very interesting.

This guy missing any shows is unacceptable at this point. Being that they just got back together, maybe they shouldnt have been so greedy with booking so many shows. Maybe they shouldve started out with 12-15 dates.

The fact that nobody was informed of his whereabouts, and they played a show (the night before?)...he fucked up probably. It is pathetic to do this to their fans. I feel so bad for the people who traveled and spent money hoping to be entertained.

It really sucks becasue i love STP and i saw them really rock-the-fuck out three times back around 2000...oh well, throw in the towel, I say.

He may have missed 1 show physically, but he has been mentally absent at a bunch of shows.

No excuses for that lame-ass junkie.

Phantom Pain

I used to be a huge fan

After reading this mess its a real shame

At least there wasn't some kind of riot at the venue

Kudos to the crowd

Dokken would have gone on with the show, fucked up or not. Dokken would never cancel for something like this.

I saw Dokken on Saturday, and he admitted he felt ill, yet he still did the same listless set that he always does!...no sore throat would prevent him from taking us back to 1986!


Poison was great fun...a great summer tradition!

It's Weiland...he's bound to fuck up 4 or 5 shows per tour.

they played Atlanta on Saturday night, so whatever happened, I guess he's okay. Maybe he did really get left in Lauderdale.
