That time Scott Weiland was tricked into snorting aspirin

[gravedancer]

"Shortly thereafter, I’m confronted by Jeremy Brown, the sadly now late guitarist for The Wildabouts. He asked the same question, but with a much more aggressive tone. He said that if my crew couldn’t find Weiland what he wanted, then he wouldn’t go on stage, the show will be canceled, and it will be our fault."

So, he's still on the coco? Hmm...

I have a hard time think ca I have a hard time thinking  he could be tricked that easily but who knows

[Sklashboombash]

Can't say I'd be surprised if it's true.
The scenario is such that smoke=fire and his history only works against him.
With that said, there's so much hearsay online who even knows anymore?

Have you seen the man lately? He's clearly not been all there for a while.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. Wouldn't be surprised if it's bullshit. Scott seems pretty messed up lately. At the same time if they were trying to score coke backstage like that at shows, I can't imagine this would be the first we heard about it.

Normally nothing would shock me when it comes to Scott but hard to believe he would leave it up to the guys working the venue to score his drugs for him. I've never been on tour, but isn't this a job for his handlers/personal assistants?

Well he wouldn't be messed up if he was snorting aspirin instead of Coke

I got a laugh out of this line: "My crew and I huddled for a brainstorm. Do we ask around in the crowd?". I imagine most of Weiland fans would have told him that Scott doesn't do drugs though.

[CagedTiger]

Sounds like bullshit... It's one of those age old story's people tell, the amount of times I've heard someone was supposedly tricked into snorting crushed up aspirin etc believing it was coke. The thing is when you're a teenager you might fall for something like that but I'm pretty sure Scott knows coke from aspirin. We're supposed to believe Scott actually thought he was high from it whilst performing too??

[foou33]

if he was already messed up maybe he snorted it, then took the stage, which at that point would be too late to go, hey this isn't cocaine.

[Jim The Stimulator]

Is anyone even able to confirm that the Wildabouts came out an hour late at the North Dakota show last year?

[JugeSTP]

I'm kind of done speculating with Scott. I'm sure some of this is embellished. But his current condition speaks for itself.

I don't know if I buy this one.  Sounds more like a tall tale to me.  I would think if he was coked up he'd be way more animated on stage than he has been for the past 7 years.  Also, yes, a seasoned veteran drug user like him would certainly be able to tell the difference between coke and aspirin.  I highly doubt he'd be fooled so easily.

I'm with Nick.  What's most sad is how all of this crap is overshadowing the music... at least in terms of media.
