Scott Weiland found Dead

[Sklashboombash]

Absolutely true!  As much as I love Scott, he was responsible for the people he associated with and put in his band.  If it wasn't Tommy, he would've "partied" with someone else of his choosing.

Whether or not we are to take her at her word, Mary said she got involved with H because he was doing it. Luckily she was able to kick it for good (we hope) for the sake of their kids.

This all reminds me a little of when Shannon Hoon was found dead. I remember one of the dudes in Blind Melon said something to the effect of "we were all doing it, so who were we to tell him not to"...which in some way, perhaps that was the resentment or at the very least rocky relationship with Dean...or even the dudes in VR.

Some details have emerged on the discovery of Scott's dead body that day.

A transcript of the 911 call made by bandmates of rocker Scott Weiland depicts their anguish upon realizing that their frontman was dead after efforts to rouse him from sleep on their tour bus failed.

Tour manager Aaron Mohler went to check on Weiland after bandmates received a call from Weiland’s wife, photographer Jamie Weiland, who was concerned because she hadn’t heard from him. Mohler entered the bus outside the Country Inn & Suites at the Mall of America, where Weiland appeared to be sleeping in his bedroom, according to the police report.

Weiland was usually a heavy sleeper, so Mohler shook him, then removed the pillow from under his head. Mohler couldn’t feel Weiland breathing and called drummer Joseph Castillo onto the bus for help. Neither man could wake him, and they called 911.

“I, I think he’s dead,” one of the men told dispatchers Dec. 3. “He’s not moving. He’s stiff, his whole …”

Dispatchers asked if a defibrillator was available. The caller said the band did not carry one on the bus. Instructions were then given to attempt chest compressions.

The caller says Weiland’s body is rigid and that he is not breathing.

“I mean, he’s like hard as a rock right now, not moving,” he said in a 911 transcript released Tuesday by Bloomington police. “ ... there’s no breath. There’s no nothing.”

Sad how the extent of the drug use seemed to be common knowledge with everyone and Tommy wasn't even initially surprised about what happened.

Band and crew told police Weiland had been drinking vodka and tequila quite heavily, was taking the heroin-blocker Suboxone, and prescriptions. They also said he used cocaine as recently as a week before his deaths, and took the drug, molly, a day or two before his death.

In a statement, an investigator wrote, "All of the band members and its entourage were visibly upset" but longtime Weiland friend and band member Thomas Black, said he was also "not surprised that Weiland had died."

You know what that tells me about Tommy Black? That he's not surprised that Scott died because he knew he was doing things that could possibly lead to his death. Since it seems pretty obvious that he knowingly did unhealthy and potentially deadly things with Scott, I think he's a shitty person.


I think I'm a pretty good judge of character and I never liked that guy and this validates that view. I know, I know, Scott is the only one to blame for is addiction, but that doesn't change the fact that Tommy is a bad person.

"I'm a pretty good judge of character" 


No one has any right to judge this guy like you are.

Yes I absolutely do have a right to judge someone based on their actions and comments. What else would one use to judge?

is Tommy in denial?

is Tommy in denial?

Denial of what?

He's definitely got some sort of conscious thing going on at the moment. The so called replacement "hired hands" in the Wildabouts band have posted multiple comments and pictures about how much Scott's death is hurting and affecting them. I dunno about Facebook or Twatter, but on Instagram,  all Tommy has posted  since Scott's death is 2 things about being in Idaho for Christmas.

And for somebody who pretty much every day was posting pictures of himself imbibing with this guy who just died with alcohol named as a direct contributor to his death, well....

The fuck would Tommy Black be in denial about? Scott Weiland actually being dead?

Given a month to grieve and think it over, I don't want to say Tommy Black has blood on his hands, but you are either crazy deep in the throes of addiction, or you're some sort of psychopath with zero foresight, to be constantly getting drunk with one the the 1990s' most notorious addicts....

[psyche]

agreed.

[EyesOfDisarray]

The point everybody else is making is that Tommy Black is no better or worse a person than Scott Weiland, who was behaving in the exact same way. They were just fuck ups, doing what fuckups do with each other. So holding it against him is just pointless. They had a destructive relationship.

Agreed 100%.

[psyche]

agreed.

[psyche]

i agree to what westenn said.

[Sklashboombash]

Not sure if this has been shared but here's a tidbit I came across from CBS/Minnesota.

unbelievable

[CagedTiger]

Remember that everything that can be said for Tommy enavling Scott, can also be said about Scott enabling Jeremy.

Is there any proof that it was Scott enabling Jeremy?? How do we know it wasn't Tommy doing drugs and downing booze with Jeremy? My guess though is that all 3 of them were probably getting loaded together on tour and that's probably why Doug left and then Danny Thompson followed. They'll probably come out and tell their story's eventually.

[psyche]

i hope it does surface at some point.  it will never take away what that man Scott Weiland created.

This guy is a real piece of work... Some of his "proof" is pretty funny though.

[Fear 2 Stop]

Can't even spell Scott's name right. What a feeb.

[psyche]

yes i did see that video.
