Top Comments of this video!! :3
I worked for Scott & the Wildabouts for three or so tours a year before his passing as their production manager and monitor engineer. Scott was:
Enigmatic.
Stubborn.
Relentless.
Engaged.
Disengaged.
Hard.
Soft.
Delightful.
Brutal.
Brilliant.
Stupid.
Tough.
Easy.
Talented.
Confused.
Hospitable.
Funny.
High.
A total ROCKSTAR.
As time went on, I felt I was watching the ultimate Faustian dream playing right before my eyes, where a talented man with more charisma in his little finger than most, lost out to his demons due to a disastrous deal with the devil.
I miss the guy.
R.I.P. Scott.

Weiland no doubt was one of the most electrifying front mans ever. When you see pics of him over the years, its almost a different person is there. When he went low, it was a huge low. I felt so bad cause im an addict myself, so i knew he was one of those cases you knew it wasn't gonna end well, and at the same time there was absolutely nothing anybody could of done to stop it. Ir was gonna happen, it was just a matter of when. Some addicts, such a small fraction, actually succeed in going and staying sober. I was one of those few and been sober 13 years, and there is no way I'm gonna drink/drug again. Just knowing i have mended so many relationships that i once destroyed, there is no way I'm ever gonna even think about ruining that again.

STP has been "my" band going back to first seeing those Sam Goody commercials for Core back in High School in '92. I've read probably every STP book, heard every story, etc. And even with 30 years of fandom for Scott and STP, I can say that you did a great job with this video digging up a lot of the small nuggets and weaving them into STP history. I remember buying Core and hearing Dead & Bloated for the first time as that song permeated my DNA, and then having the same feeling years later with Meat Plow and other great tracks from this band. Thanks for the video.

I saw 3 STP concerts in the late 90's and 2000. The last concert was at The Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, which is a tiny general admission venue. I'll never forget when Scott hit the stage with a gas mask and megaphone. The place went insane. These guys were so talented and Scott was a force of nature. Scott was one of a kind, RIP. I enjoy reading all the comments showing love to STP.

Scott sat in with us one night in St. Louis while they were on the Megadeth tour. We played a lot of Cheap Trick songs and generally had a great time. He graciously invited us to the hospitality tent at the local ampitheatre the next time they came through, this time headlining. He was a quiet guy, super nice. We were all very saddened by his passing.
