    Yes, "Hit or Miss" should be the official name of this tour.

    I just saw them last weekend in San Diego at Qualcomm and they were so solid, but them he was playing for his "hometown" so perhaps he was motivated to behave himself. Rob, Eric, Scott and Dean looked like they were all on the same sheet of music and in a good place:

    BRMC so deserved a set longer than 30 minutes.

    I'm seeing STP next week in NY at the Jones Beach show. Prayers, everyone. And if you're there, say hi!

    yeah, but thats fropm wine not dope...

    and ed can be falling down drunk and still give everything he has to a performance. i have enever seen them mail it on or give an uninspired performance. thats why they are the best

    I was just joking by that post. Ed is extremely cheerful when hes got that bottle o' wine. I would absolutely hate to see him ever be high on any drug while performing. (except maybe weed)

    I saw them in Indianapolis the friday before the Indy 500, and they sucked so bad, I just felt sorry for the band mates, whom sounded very good!


    that's funny cause I thought, for being on hiatus, and being their first show that it was pretty good.

    i thought they were pretty good when i saw them here in June. setlist was pretty predictable but its a reunion tour. idk maybe its a day to day thing. definantly better than the smashing pumpkins reunion. because stp actually had its original members but thats a different story...

    I can't believe they haven't had to cancel the tour yet so that piece of trash singer can go (back) to rehab.

    What did you think of the new venue at Qualcomm? They just started doing shows their this year, and I haven't been down yet. Good pictures on your review, although I can't believe Weiland is still pulling the megaphone out. The only time I saw STP was opening for Neil Young in '91 (along with Blind Melon!), and all I remember of STP was the damn megaphone on what seemed like every song.

    You may know this already but it was one of the Concert on The Green shows so it wasn't actually within the confines stadium, it was on the field next to the stadium.

    It was fine. It felt like an ordinary GA fest. They might want to invest in some overheads or something because if you're in the rear you can't see a damned thing. And though I didn't have to use them, the port-a-potties were interesting...lots of them, though, which is a good thing.

    This time round Weiland's limiting his use of the megaphone...I think it only came out on 2 songs, one of course being "Dead and Bloated" :).

    Yeah, I've seen the 'venue' a few times from the trolley. I'll be seeing Dylan there in September, doesn't look bad for a GA place, but it definitely looks thrown together.

    Drug addiction is many things, but it isn't a disease.....


    And sorry if the comment seemed harsh, it's just the guy has always come across as a shallow self centred nobody with little in the way of talent.....

    They should have called it the "Russian Roulette Tour" because it sounds like going to see them was not much different then spinning the chamber and pulling the trigger, sometimes you got a good show, sometimes you didn't. I saw them in Green Bay, WI at a Casino of all places a few weeks ago, and it was a GREAT show. Wieland appeared to be sober and happy, sang GREAT, and the band put on a good show. Seems like half the people have said it was a great show, half of them said he was stoned or drunk and acting like a total douchebag. Oh well.

    It's clear that Wieland's still a loose cannon, and I hope that maybe someday he cleans his act up. I doubt it will happen though. I'm honestly surprised he's lived this long. I still think he's a great musician. I just wish he could keep his shit together.

    Really, why...must you humiliate yourself? You wish you had his success. Oh and who's Wieland, I know of a Scott Weiland, shame on you my little friend.

    I think we know who the knob is here. Thanks for your 5 cents.

    You bleeding heart fans are hilarious.

    Wish I had his success? Nah I'm pretty happy with where I am at the moment but thanks for the concern. Though I wouldn't mind having some of this guys 'problems'- like shit loads of money.

    Oh, and if you drink and drive then you are definately a knob.

    I don't think anyone should wish Scott's life on anyone. The man has a serious drug problem that he just can't seem to kick.

    I wouldn't want to have his fame either; considering he's mostly famous for being a major fuckup than he is for his music..

    STP "could have" been a great band but Scott's addictions and idiotic behaviour has destroyed the bands legacy.

    I can't begin to tell you how pissed off I was seeing Scott up on stage stoned out of his mind and going through the motions up there.

    It was a complete insult to anyone that shelled out the cash to see him and his band perform

    Scott may as well have taken our money, put it in a neat little pile on the stage, whip out his weiner, and piss all over it while laughing in our faces.

    Because that's basically what an STP show translates to these days
