Scott Weiland Issues Statement On New STP, STP Sue Weiland For Use of Stone Temple Pilots Name [UPDA

Alright so first and foremost, this isn't a "war" of LP fans like you are making it out to be. STOP trying to make something out of nothing. YOUR personal feelings about how Chester's decision to join STP being a bad decision and unbeneficial has yet to be seen. You need to take the lid off of the jar and let the fireflies free before they die of suffocation. Your "point" of "LP borrowing Chester," is a completely asinine statement. The band has been supportive of Chester on his current endeavors of juggling his free time. I admire and trust Linkin Park's support for Chester. You also need to remember that Chester has gone, on record, saying LP is still his number one priority. This has put any unrest that I had with Chester's decision to join STP and made me very supportive of said decision.

You are absolutely right about band members personal lives. For the sake of conversation on the point that you brought up, Chester was able to get help and straighten out his priorities. Scott, on the other hand, it still runs his life and has disrupted his relationship to the band he once was in. I believe that if Scott straightened himself out, the original line-up would be touring their 20 years of Core tour as well as making new music along the way.

 

If either of the bands (LP in particular) felt that this would be a serious problem, then, Chester would have never taken up the opportunity to be STP's frontman. Simple as that.

Therefore, the fact that he did take up the offer and is now STP's frontman means that your arguments are groundless. If there were any legal obstacles, then, the involved parties overcame them.

No-one has ever said anything about "replacing" Chester in Linkin Park.

 

Riiight. Sounds pretty believable. I mean, totally believable that you wouldn't notice that you had typed up and, then, published two whole paragraphs in #ALLCAPSEVERYTHING

No, you see, if Chester started work on a new Dead By Sunrise album, that would mean that

• Dead By Sunrise was almost dead and needed someone to help them to bring back the DBS brand
• we would get a new and depressed Chester
• the singer in your favourite band would be a singer for another band just because it's him
• Chester would be teaming up with a generic band that plays generic rock songs
• the ones who love that Chester is DBS' lead singer would argue endlessly with the ones who think that his joining DBS was a bad decision which affects LP in a bad way
• there actually wouldn't be a single benefit for LP in that decision

Also, do you know what LP and DBS would have in common if that happened? They would have the same lead singer and, wow, what a big jump that would be!

By the way, I was being sarcastic.

 

This belongs in the Stone Temple Pilots thread in "Side Projects" rather than in this thread.

You can also post it in the "Got News?" thread. At this time of writing, no-one else has posted it so you can be the first!

 

Geki, where in the hell did you get this idea that Chester is going to be replaced in LP? More-over, why the hell do you think everyone is okay with that? Chester's involvement with LP is an entirely different situation with Scott and STP. According to the statement that STP published that I posted here, Scott really fucked the pooch for the band and halted all progress for the band. He went behind STP's back to tour for himself while the rest of the band was stuck sitting with their thumbs up their ass. Chester's involvement with STP was brought up to the rest of the band and he made sure they were cool with him doing this as a side project. The band have been nothing but supportive of Chester, thus have most of the people here. This misnomer that you've magically come up with about Chester and LP and leaving and everyone wanting to replace him in the band, you really need to get that out of your head, man.

So you're telling me that you don't look at your monitor/screen while typing or proof-read what you type before posting? I think your excuse for using excel is about as believable as every single one of your "truth-backed" posts in this thread. Needless to say, this forum looks down on using #ALLCAPSEVERYTHING in a post. It makes you look incredibly rude. Congrats with that.

 

What are your thoughts on this situation with Scott?
