Weiland and Layne Staley both were amazing talents that let their addictions kill them.

Truly sad.

I feel that Laynes addiction was the source of alot of his talent. Weiland was much different, ashamed of his addiction, constantly denying that he was using, as where Layne almost embraced it.

I'm not sure of all that. Maybe Scott had similar inspirations, anything can become ones muse. I think that he did embraced it, but that is his own personal business.

I read something about him the other day in an article highlighting points in his life, where they talked about comparing his voice to Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder. I remember thinking that about STP when I first heard them, and I initially thought they were a rip off band. Little did I know what amazing music they would create. Scott said that he was afraid that he would be compared to The Doors' Jim Morrison, who he cited as a major influence. I never knew that, but I have alway loved The Doors too, so maybe that's why I warmed up to STP so much.

Great song, but why did you post it?

 

[Brennan77]

I realize in hindsight it may have seemed oddly placed. I guess it was the similarities between the two in the context of the recent statement released by Weilands widow. Maybe I shouldn't have posted it. But I did. So I left it.

While you're at it, get one of these

That actually looks pretty useful.
