Scott Weiland Gets Prison Time For DUI, STP Unaffected?

Scott Weiland will spend the equivalent of eight days behind bars for driving under the influence of alcohol. The DUI sentence was handed down by a Los Angeles Judge, and it requires him to serve the time before May 26. The singer already has commitments booked with Stone Temple Pilots and may have to break up the 190 plus hours of time in the can.

Video clip :

Weiland recently parted ways with Velvet Revolver, who said they'd be carrying on without him. In an interview several years ago, before the band's breakthrough debut album Contraband, bassist Duff McKagan was asked if coming off of Guns N' Roses they've mastered the art of keeping a band together.

Velvet Revolver On Earlier Band Relation Lessons

"Well I think if nothing else we learned how to keep a band together. An analogy: somebody makes a move for you and your first reaction is to jerk. Now you turn towards him and you look and see what he's doing. That's how we do it with the band. If somebody pisses you off or does something, you ask, 'Did he mean that towards me?' You don't react and scream back and yell, and all that stuff. And usually it turns out nobody meant anything towards you, and a lot of things like that. We learn to deal with stuff. We don't knee jerk."

These comments seem prophetic considering Slash's admission that they turned their back on Weiland and didn't communicate with him during their last tour. To some it seems that Weiland had a calm period after joining Velvet Revolver straight out of his rehab stint for drug addiction. Weiland had been troubled throughout his days with STP, being in and out of prison and rehab, and now with his latest incarceration, appearances are that the STP-trouble correlation is continuing. However Weiland was arrested for the DUI late last year when he was still a member of Velvet Revolver.

As it appears, this guy will never learn. Lets just hope he can keep his shit together cause it'd be cool to see STP on tour again.

[jackjohnson69]

ya i know it seems like hes in trouble all the time like once a week at least his music is awesome

[ValoRhoads]

Lock him up, he's gotten away with too much.

[ethanw]

****in shit if VR were good at all it was because of scott anyways
Id be nice if he could keep it together for STP cause theyre like 100 times better than VR sooo yeah they better still tour or ill freak cause i really wanna see them

[Comeback Kiddd]

sucks for Westley Snipes then :p

[Antwan_the_Swan]

Scott's screwed up:/

[godberry]

even though he will be touring quite a bit, he should serve his time like everyone else. he isn't special. he just makes damn good music.

Ummm...what? Slash is a way better guitarist than the dude in STP. It's not even a comparison. You've got an alternative rock guitarist with the ability to put together melodies sometimes vs. a guitarist that has some of the best leads ever? I don't see any fair comparison between the two. As for scott, his lyrics were piss poor at best on the new VR album. His singing was run of the mill, and if anything, he was the low point of the band. His singing on the first VR album sounded the same on just about every song. Axl rose is a much better singer with many more range options. If STP comes out with another album it will sound tired because they are 1 trick ponies. The followed the other grunge bands of the era and a reunion tour/cd will be just as impressive as the smashing pumpkins attempt. They have nothing more to offer.....it's like watching a mike tyson comeback...pathetic.

Don't post ever again.

Slash is over rated and you dont even know who STP's guitar player even is. You are ignorant at BEST. and scott is not in trouble every week this is the an article about his DUI last year and court settlements take awhile. VR is good but STP is amazing. GnR were 1 trick ponies. How many good Albums did they have? AoD is the only 1 worth anytime at all. spaghetti incident sucked. use your illusion... lol Pathetic. The mighty can fall quite far cant they. Don't get me wrong slash is good but not even close to one of the best ever... Look up Satch if you wanna see real talent.

[Guitar Sushi]

What? Scott Weiland arrested.... No....

HAHHAAHHAHAHAHHHAA, THIS IS ALMOST COMICAL!!!

[visionen]

Why should'nt he post again? Relax. If anything your arguments are even less rational. Obviously Slash is a better guitar player, yesh... come on.

oh boy, here we go. how the hell can you say slash is overrated man? appetite for destruction is a gem, but the use your illusion albums don't fall far behind. pathetic? your reasoning is pathetic. guns n' roses didn't fall any faster than guns did. they had purple, no. 4, and core and then a couple of okay albums. their only commercially and critically successful albums. GN'R had AoD, GN'R lies, and UYI I and II. four commercially and critically successful albums (classics if you will). and let's not go comparing slash and a) satch has nothing to do with this arguement and b) they play very different styles of music. slash is one of the best at what he does, and so is satch. and btw, (to the other guy) the deleo brothers are amazing as well.

[psychokiller99]

*guns n' roses didn't fall any faster than STP did.

[New_Crisis]

*sigh*.....I still remember the days when I gave a flying **** about Mr. Weiland. now...he is nothing.

[g00fy_130]

I think Scott has a wonderful voice and a great songwriting ability, but guys like this NEVER learn! His days would be better spent living as a bum in a back alley somewhere. He's a drain on society and does nothing but waste the time of all of those around him. Good riddance, and make his next jail time stint a a LOONNGG one!

You make it clear in your first few sentences that you have no idea what you are talkin about. Sure Dean DeLeo can't play quite as fast as Slash, but he has a much broader range of tones and textures and he can wail his ass off with some of the most tastful solos you will ever hear. Every STP tune doesn't have a solo, and most of the stuff on the radio doesn't but believe it or not, there are guitarists from the 90's that can play.

[blaze2thekings]

i can just see it....hes gonna be the next great musician to die for a stupid ass reason like DUI, and he only gets 8 days? shit even that snotty ***** Paris Hilton got a couple months, this isnt even his first offense!

[MAYNARD]

^^^Try learning some of his crazy chords. When I think about it, DeLeo is a superior all around guitarist to Slash.

[Teen Spirit]

scott weiland rules.

[Teen Spirit]

dunno what VR were doing.

[officially dead]

love stp, don't like gnr but i won't knock slash.

[Black Revolver]

not a good start for the band

[James_Het_Rules]

lololololol GO SCOTT! OH YEAH!

[Night_Train87]

My name is Scott Weiland....and I like to party.

[Quikslayer666]

Take the offsprings advice Weiland and DONT PICK UP THE SOAP! lol

[Tallman1984]

I just got tix for the STP Berkeley show, so I all I ask is that he doesn't f*** up severely for the next three months. Let him squeeze out those 8 days and get his skinny ass back on the road.

They're both pretty damn good...but I love more melodic players better than the speed players such as Satriani, and company. Which is why I love the Foo Fighters, AiC, and STP compared to others. They're two different styles, learn to love them both

thank you, i was getting sick of seeing, slash is better...no this guy is. Any of you ever heard of ****ing opinions? You're gonna have people that think differently than you so just accept it and dont force your opinions on other people. In my opinion there a lot of better bands than GnR, STP, and VR.

Does STP holds an album thats consider one of the best all time? is their debut album went to number 1 and became one of the best selling debut album of all time?
Is there any STP songs that can be even compared to November rain, am no..so dont say GnR is pathetic becausefor the short year that Guns were together, they achieve more than what STP will do in their lifetime. your probably just a kid who missed out on the GnR heydays....heres a fact, Only STP fans wanna see STP reunion.....the WORLD has been wanting a GnR reunion..a nd trust me, if but i doubt it they have a reunion, you will see the real meaning of great rock band.

The Deleos are BOTH great artists. but honestly... Look up army of anyone. that shows how much Weiland contributes to a band. (not that much)

Slash is a great not for being showy but for a very jimi inspired rythmic style.

i like Dean Deleo's riffs ALOT. but comeon... Vasoline is tougher than Sweet Child of Mine when?

Slash isnt Clapton... but he's damn good. and i see VR as the REAL GnR's

DUI's are overrated you can't possibly measure all people on one standard. Some people are drunk at 0.7, others are drunk at 0.13. Everyone has a different tolerance and can drive just fine after three or four beers. The law is bullshit.

You are a total moron...DUI is not the measure of how drunk you are... it does not matter if you are drunk or not. The fact is drinking a few beers impairs you, you don't have to be drunk to be driving impaired retard. I think they are way to easy on drunk drivers and should certainly be more harsh on this guy and anybody who does it. You obviously wouldn't have such a stupid opinion if someone you knew got killed by an impaired *******.

Agreed, but it's not like this is the first time something like this has happened. The man has been on and off drugs since the early 90's. Why doesn't he at least try to help himself?

[sylic]

I like how people think having the "greatest guitarist" in a band makes it good.

[kmchipower]

lets break down stp vs. gnr

dean deleo vs. slash -> dean is a really cool player but doesn't hold a candle to slash -> gnr +1

??? vs. izzy -> izzy deserves mention here because he was such a great composer and probably the best rhythm player of all-time -> no points

rob deleo vs. duff -> rob is an equally great bass player as duff but is also an incredible composer and more of a pure bassist -> stp +1

kretz vs. matt sorum/steven adler -> kretz kills matt sorum (i hate matt sorum), but adler gets the nod over kretz -> no points

weiland vs. axl -> axl kills weiland in every way imaginable -> +1 gnr

overall, its no competition, gnr was incredible and if they didnt implode, would have pumped out so many great albums.

stp was good, sometimes great, but made as much a mark as they possibly could have before fading away.

[Jastul]

why am I not surprised? good musician, but needs to get his shit together

you know what's weird?
scott says the word manchild a lot in his songs. He has a fetish for that work i don't know why but it's funny

Slash is over rated and you dont even know who STP's guitar player even is. You are ignorant at BEST. and scott is not in trouble every week this is the an article about his DUI last year and court settlements take awhile. VR is good but STP is amazing. GnR were 1 trick ponies. How many good Albums did they have? AoD is the only 1 worth anytime at all. spaghetti incident sucked. use your illusion... lol Pathetic. The mighty can fall quite far cant they. Don't get me wrong slash is good but not even close to one of the best ever... Look up Satch if you wanna see real talent.

Agree, besides the last sentence: Go listen to Roy Buchanan.

[Gh.]

Oh, I forgot. Shut the f*ck up with "Lol, again?" comments. He got sentenced for for his DUI case last fall.

[kmchipower]

lol...as good as dean deleo is..u cannot say with a straight face that he is better or even equal to slash. no...vr sucks, stp is good, and gnr is amazing. the fact that u gloss over appetite tells me that u either dont know it, or have no taste. appetite is probably the single best hard rock album ever. this is coming from someone who LOVES the great rock music of the 60s and 70s. the only other real album they had was use your illusion then they IMPLODED, they did not fade away like stp did. and use your illusion has some freakin GEMS, its just that it should have been condensed to one album...then it would be another freakin classic.

all i know is the show im supposed to go see better not be canceled over this

[strat0blaster]

Man - wonder how long I'd go for a blatant and repeated DUI charge. I'm sure it'd be longer than 8 days. What a shame that such a loser who can't keep his act together gets grace while people who really try get locked up forever and a day for charges like this.

Anyway - who cares about Weiland at this point? Frankly, I'd be more shocked if he WASN'T making headlines for his substance abuse issues.

Ummm...what? Slash is a way better guitarist than the dude in STP. It's not even a comparison. You've got an alternative rock guitarist with the ability to put together melodies sometimes vs. a guitarist that has some of the best leads ever? I don't see any fair comparison between the two. As for scott, his lyrics were piss poor at best on the new VR album. His singing was run of the mill, and if anything, he was the low point of the band. His singing on the first VR album sounded the same on just about every song. Axl rose is a much better singer with many more range options. If STP comes out with another album it will sound tired because they are 1 trick ponies. The followed the other grunge bands of the era and a reunion tour/cd will be just as impressive as the smashing pumpkins attempt. They have nothing more to offer.....it's like watching a mike tyson comeback...pathetic.

Don't post ever again.

Does STP holds an album thats consider one of the best all time? is their debut album went to number 1 and became one of the best selling debut album of all time?
Is there any STP songs that can be even compared to November rain, am no..so dont say GnR is pathetic becausefor the short year that Guns were together, they achieve more than what STP will do in their lifetime. your probably just a kid who missed out on the GnR heydays....heres a fact, Only STP fans wanna see STP reunion.....the WORLD has been wanting a GnR reunion..a nd trust me, if but i doubt it they have a reunion, you will see the real meaning of great rock band.

November Rain??? God, that doesn't even compare to the other GNR tunes. That one is moderate at best compared to the others. Welcome to the Jungle? You Could Be Mine? Sweet Child of Mine? Any of those ring of bell.

Comparing STP to GNR is one thing, but STP to VR is another. VR isn't that good. Atleast not nearly as good as STP. WHy is Slash better? Cause he plays faster? That's no excuse at all.

[Joey Radical]

Okay this is an article about Weiland commiting DIU. It's not called "Hey let's all behave like *******s and start comparing Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver"

[acousticaj]

scott needs to learn a lesson. hes been to rehab more than once. he should know better. maybe jail will teach him something. i doubt it, but hope springs eternal.

UYI are better albums than STP ever did, like the guy said I respect opinions but when somebody has an opinion that dumb theres no way I'm gonna respect that person. I like STP but a lot of their fans on here seem to be putting down GN'R which is a shame they are both brilliant bands. I hate scott, he is a good singer but its hard not to hate the guy and yes he is a much worse person than axl rose.

Ok... Slash is one of the best ever... there are several, SEVERAL guitarists that deserve that mention... thats beside the point... but to dis GNR like that is just SORRY... GNR is AT LEAST top ten GREATEST ROCK BANDS, its hard to argue against that... STP DOSENT EVEN MAKE TOP 25!!! they rode the coat tails of AIC, NIRVANA, PEARL JAM and every other grunge band in the 90's... and UYI is pathetic? your pathetic... do yourself a favor... go to google, search how to use a Q-TIP, Clean your ears out, get your head out of your CORE, or PURPLE, or TINY MUSIC cd (WHATEVER THE HELL YOU LISTEN TO) and go pop in some GNR and learn to appericate what STP never could... hava nice day

Oh NO!!! who could ever have forseen this. i dont even read most of these, but i've seen enough news titles to put together the fact that Scott weiland is not exactly a ray of sunshine. wasnt it assumed that something was going to happen to him?

Anyways old news. Our judicial system needs to work
faster on punishment..... even with the billions of
cases. if someone really wanted to, they could run off and Join the french foreign legion before the court even realizes they are gone..... thats a good plan..... kinda..... not really.....

slash is way too overrated. lets put it this way - when buckethead was playing in the not-so-good guns n roses reincarnation back in 2002, he played every single wimpy slash solo perfectly and didnt miss a single note. id like to see slash do the same towards buckethead, or even any other guitarist for that matter. slash is mediocre at best

Oh I'm sorry I forgot to put an extra 0 in there. But I'm sure you got what I meant oh great elite one. In any case alot of the things are the law like not being able to drink when your 18 but you can go get drafted. Or more recently you can't talk on a cell phone while driving. It's the law but I can still bitch on how both make no sense or are not measured correctly.

You are a total moron...DUI is not the measure of how drunk you are... it does not matter if you are drunk or not. The fact is drinking a few beers impairs you, you don't have to be drunk to be driving impaired retard. I think they are way to easy on drunk drivers and should certainly be more harsh on this guy and anybody who does it. You obviously wouldn't have such a stupid opinion if someone you knew got killed by an impaired *****.

No,F-uck you and your stupid narrow minded opinion. Did you even read my post? I never said that drinking and driving was cool.I said that sometimes DUI's really aren't DUI's because they are measured on one standard. Everyone has a different tolerance and even at the legal limit and you can still have two beers and it's completely legal. For some it's three or four and no it doesn't impair you, it's called a buzz. Buzzing is not even close to drunk. But all I 'm saying is that even though there is alot of DUI's that are legit there's just as many that are not.

Slash may be a bit over rated when people say hes the best gat player ever but the reason everyone likes him is because he is that good. He plays some killer solos and riffs. Dean Deleo isnt that bad either. He plays great chords and melodies and some good solos. Although some of them are just straight up horrible..... meat plow, crackerman

hey buddy, let me let you in a little secret i know...

THE COMPLEXITY OF THE COMPOSITIONS OF ANY MUSICIAN DOES NOT MEASURE HOW "GOOD" OR "TALENTED" THEY ARE. U GOT THAT THROUGH YOUR LITTLE NOGGIN?

in case you didn't know there are a lot of people who dedicate a lot of time to learning bucketheads solos note for note. does that mean that they are equally as good or better than buckethead?!!!! NO!!!!! why? cuz they may be able to play it, but they didn't think it! that's the kicker my friend. in all of buckethead's time playing and making "great" and "virtuoso" guitar music, he hasn't come up with anything nearly as memorable or as longlasting as slash has. he is far more technically superior than slash. lightyears ahead of him (of any guitarist for that matter), but that's all i'll give him.

He's talking about how the law is that if the alcohol level in your body is above .8, you are driving under the influence.

Some people get drunk at different levels, like .13, which means you could still be able to drive just as normal as you would without being drunk.

Although it is arguable that you'd have to be driving pretty bad to be pulled over, so it's a split argument.

On topic; A=B B=C, therefore, A=C

Scott Weiland drives drunk
Driving drunk is stupid
Scott Weiland is stupid.

[SlashFan810]

ok here I go.

1) Scott should serve the time like anyone else would, it's about ****ing time, and he should get some help because he is a great musician.

2) I am not a particular fan of STP but I know a good band when I hear one, and as a fan of GNR and VR I think that you guys should really learn to agree to disagree. I obviousley prefer slash, and objectivley I suppose he is a better guitarist than Deleo (he is too sloppy for many but definatley one of the best sleaze-rock guitarists out there, killer riffs and solos). Some people just prefer the grunge melodies and tones coming out of STP, and that's fine, one has to look at music as a whole and not just the guitarist. On that noooote

3) Guns N' Roses was NOT just Axl and Slash, and anyone who says so needs to learn how to listen to music and be able to appreciate the tasty basslines different from your everyday guitar-copy riffs. The rythms in GNR are essential (as in VR, props to Dave and his pedals) and the precussion hitting everything at the right moment just makes the band sound better. This is probably true for any good band, it cannot be a success being carried by good frontmen; a universal sound has to cmoe out of it, just like in any best-selling band. The Beatles, Zep, Who, Floyd; there may have been obvious leaders of the band but without each individual contribution it wouldn't be the same, at least to those who know how to take apart music and put it back together. GNR may be a step down from these pioneers but still a good band, whether you llike it or not learn to objectivley judge a band.

4) Fuck buckethead. He didn't write slash's melodies and never will write anything close to that, he is too far from the blues origin and just shreds a pentatonic; who can't nowadays. He does have some cool effects on his own stuff, but in GNR he'll never have any place.

Can you not read? he is going to do all the time. over 190 hours. but the judge apparently allowed him to schedule this jail time around the dates that STP already had booked, which is a pretty cool thing for a judge to do. dont even say he got off easy, cause he still has to spend 8 entire days worth of time in jail! what an incentive to finish the tour..

I like stp and gnr. Both different, both good. I will say I like Weiland more than Axle, just because he did something after his first band broke up, while Axle can't get anything going.

And buckethead writes the weirdest shit i've ever heard, and if it weren't for that goddamn guitar hero game he wouldn't have the notoriety he has today. Slash writes kick-ass blues riffs, deleo has nice chord progressions, rhythms, and solos that muight be weird but are at least melodic. All superior to buckethead.

I can play sweet child of mine without ****ing up, does that mean I'm as better than slash too?

One trick Ponies?
Appetite for Destruction was, still is, and will always be one of the greatest albums ever.
Even you can't deny that.

And for UYI 1+2, they were also great albums.
Yeah, the Spagghetti Incident was shit, but it wasnt even a real album to be fair.

Dean Deleo is a good guitarist, but lets face it, is nothing compared to Slash

+1000, took the words outta my mouth. buckethead maybe a technical genius, but thats about. anyone robot can go and learn e.g. november rain solo note for note - but to create a solo like that takes a diffrent kinda skill.
