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

That's interesting.

 

It's gonna sound weird but I hope Chester doesn't get dragged out on their drama. I hope the issues can be resolved among the members of the original lineup and their lawyers if they need to (which is 99% likely the case) without involving him on that.

Chester was reached out by the band and he said yes, but when it comes to all the legal stuff he might end up in the middle of all the trouble, which would be undeserved :/

 

I was thinking the same, it must be really tough for Chester to heard those things from Scott.

 

It's like Jay Gordon, Orgy, and Julien-K all over again. Oh well, hope they all reconcile this band dispute peacefully, somehow.

 

They didn't even tell Weiland that they have replaced him. They (including Chester) probably knew that Weiland would be really pissed. I don't think Chester is too surprised or hurt now at all.

 

This is true. Making a move without letting the people involved is a recipe for trouble and a bad ending.

I rage-moved from my residence when I was out of town without telling my roommate and to this day we don't share a word even when we go out with the same friends, at the same time.

 

Agreed. I'm pretty pumped to see another side of Chester through this new venture with STP, I'd rather not have that experience marred because of Scott Weiland or his former band mate's egos. I don't really know who is in the wrong over this whole thing, but there's more important things in a musical career than suing over the rights over a band name. Both parties should try to move on before it gets nasty. If not for them then for STP and LP fans alike.

 

My condolences to fans of the band because I know how much it would suck for one of my favorite bands to suddenly replace the frontman. Like, I'm not sure how I'd feel if Dice Raw took Black Thought's place in the Roots. But wasn't Scott fired months ago for being unreliable as hell?

 

He was but he refused to accept it because he said that, being a founder of the band and frontman, he wasn't sure how he could be "terminated".

 

To be fair, Weiland hasn't even spoken to his own band for a while now. I doubt Chester is in a close relationship with him either. He's off in his own world. But from what I've seen so far, Scott doesn't care if Chester sings for the band, as long as they don't call themselves Stone Temple Pilots.

 

I'd feel bad for fans to have an unreliable frontman. If he cared about the band's name/reputation/etc., he wouldn't have mistreated what he had going on to himself, his bandmates, and to the fans.

I hope Chester doesn't get caught in the cross hairs. Sure, he probably knew this would happen, but maybe he had hope that it wouldn't since he idolized the band. Hoping for the best either way.

 

Banning him from referring to himself as a former member is a bit much.
He shouldn't be sued. He's not even allowed to be upset about this?
My feelings would be all fucked up about the situation if I were Chester.

 

Scott Weiland is an asshole, but he doesn't deserve all that.

 

As I said in an other thread, I didn't expected STP to sue Scott at all. It's maybe going a little too far. I mean, the guy has been fired from his own band and now he is sued by them. Sure, it seems like he deserved the firing, but that was enough of a punishment if you ask me. That's sad the relations between Scott and the band got that bad.

And also, that whole affair must suck terribly for STP fans.

 

I got my bucket of popcorn ready! This should be good although it probably doesn't affect Chester, but it's funny how Weiland doesn't refer to him by name.

 

I guess Stone Temple Pilots are my generation's Guns 'N Roses.

Uhh, yay, I guess. And of course this is going to effect Chester, he's in the fucking band. He's a legal member of that band, I'm sure he's signed contracts and whatnot to make it official. If they go to court, he'll go to court as well.
