Scott Weiland

I was born on October 27, 1967 in Santa Cruz, California. My mom raised me near Cleveland, but moved back to the West Coast when i was 15. That was great because there was a huge punk scene in Orange County which suited me. In 1987 i put together a band which we called Mighty Joe Young with guitarist Robert DeLeo, later changed to The Stone Temple Pilots. We had some great success and became one of the biggest bands of the mid-1990s well i would say the the best! However, after our second LP released in 1994 and called Purple, i had some problems with drugs which im not gonna talk about on here. After a stay in rehab i returned to the band to record our third record, but shortly after i had a small problem again. We were forced to cancel our upcoming tour. The other guys went ahead and recorded an album with a different singer under the name Talk Show while i was still not to good. I took time out and recorded a solo album in 1998 called 12 Bar Blues. Im now as you all know singing again in a band called Velvet Revolver. Im having the time of my life making a positive contibution with the greatest guys i ever met, you all should come and check out our shows.take care scott xx
