BIOGRAPHY | SCOTT WEILAND
Scott Weiland (born October 27 ,1967 in Santa Cruz, California ) is an American musician , lyricist and vocalist . He was the lead singer of the popular rock band Stone Temple Pilots throughout the 1990s and early 2000s and is currently the lead singer of Velvet Revolver .Weiland was born Scott Richard Kline but his name was changed when his stepfather, David Weiland, adopted him. Though born in Santa Cruz, he moved to Chagrin Falls, Ohio , by age of five, and lived there until he was fifteen, at which point he moved to Huntington Beach, California , where he graduated from Edison High School in Huntington Beach. Scott Weiland was born at Kaiser hospital in San Jose California, he says so on the 2001 Family Values tour Live CD, on the Wicked Garden track.Weiland met bassist Robert DeLeo at a Black Flag concert, and shortly thereafter formed the band Mighty Joe Young with DeLeo's brother Dean on guitar and Eric Kretz on drums . The band changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots when it was discovered shortly after signing with Atlantic Records that " Mighty Joe Young " was already taken.Weiland wrote the band's lyrics and performed lead vocals. In 1992, they released their first album, Core , and their first hit, " Sex Type Thing " led to them becoming one of the most commercially successful bands of the grunge movement, the music genre that was spawned out of Seattle in the late eighties and became rock's central movement of the early-mid 1990s. The band was widely accused of copying bands like Pearl Jam and Nirvana in an attempt to cash in on the scene's burgeoning popularity. The band itself has rejected such comparisons and cited The Doors and ragtime guitar as more influential on their sound.In 1994, Weiland married Janina Castaneda and STP released their second album, Purple , which saw the development of a more unique identity for a band, possibly due to drug influence. The year prior, STP toured with the Butthole Surfers , and Weiland picked up a drug addiction , claiming Butthole Surfers singer Gibby Haynes introduced him to heroin .[1]In 1995, Weiland was caught and convicted of buying crack cocaine . He was sentenced to one year's probation. Issues with drug use did not clear up after his sentence. [1] STP cancelled most of their 1996-1997 tour in support of their third release, Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop causing the album to fall flat quickly on the charts, and leading into the commercial failure of STP's next two albums as Weiland's legal problems continued.With Weiland's status in the band uncertain and unpredictable, STP went on hiatus. Robert, Dean and Eric created the group Talk Show with lead singer Dave Coutts , and Weiland adopted an androgynous look and released a solo album in 1998 called 12 Bar Blues . Weiland composed as well wrote the lyrics for most songs on the album, and collaborated with several artists, notably Daniel Lanois ,Sheryl Crow and Jeff Nolan . The album bombed, and Weiland was eventually caught in Manhattan buying heroin, ending his brief tour. A previous conviction in Los Angeles, coupled with numerous probation violations, earned Weiland jail time.The constant relapses were too much for his marriage, and Castaneda filed for divorce. His period in jail had apparently helped to wean him from his habit, and once released, he rejoined the Stone Temple Pilots, and married again, to model Mary Forsberg, with whom he has two children, Noah and Lucy.In late 2001, Weiland's battles with the law continued. He was arrested on domestic violence charges in Las Vegas, apparently for shoving Forsberg. While the charges were eventually deferred upon the couple agreeing to counselling, Forsberg eventually filed for divorce but the couple finally reconciled. Weiland's career also took a hit, with an altercation between Weiland and guitarist Dean DeLeo on the final gig of STP's Shangri-La Dee Da tour leading to the band's demise. (source from wikepdia)
