Why don't you find Dean, Robert, and Eric and tell them that word for word to their face? Then get back to me... Your weak comeback at people like myself on here means nothing to the guys in STP. Go ahead, think of something else stupid that you wouldn't say to them in person.
YOU and those like YOU are the ones coming off as egocentric, pompous assholes with a chip on their shoulder. You have no say in this, and they wont miss you. They are moving on, and have been moving on from those chains that nearly ruined them on more than one occasion, and they are moving on from folks like you as well.
This isn't '
Wild '
N Out' or some insult battle... these are responses on a message board, not "comebacks".
Please set up that meeting with Dean, Robert, and Eric. I'd gladly tell them what I (
along with many other fans) think. Considering the fan were split after the Chester thing, I'm sure they already know. It's clear that these guys don't care about winning over ALL the fans, but that doesn't mean if you're against their decisions, then you can't have an opinion, or discuss them among other fans. That's absurd.
There is nothing ridiculous about commenting on their financial situation as it directly pertains to how they put food on their tables. What is ridiculous is the entitlement on this website, coming from people who think they know what is best for the remaining members. The fact that people on this site have been making financial decisions for the band based on relationships they know nothing about is what is ridiculous.
And STP are shameful? Give me a break! Dean has been harsh with Scott from day one. I've posted many links and interviews with Dean where he bad mouthed Scott when Scott was sitting right next to him. Scott was always a thorn in Dean's side and the interviews and clips I have posted prove my point. "Despite reports that the band had begun work on a sixth studio album in 2002, the band had dissolved by the end of that year, after reports of an altercation between Dean DeLeo and Weiland after the last show of Stone Temple Pilots' fall 2002 tour." This sort of thing happened often and unfortunately, I'm going to assume Dean is glad to be rid of Scott, which are why his comments are what they are. Are the fans who take the time to post here going to actually tell me they are not going to listen to the new material when it comes out. Call them shameful all you want, but you will be right there listening when the new music is aired.
Again with this
"putting food on their table" nonsense............
It's
not about
"fans" claiming to
"know what's best for Dean, Robert, and Eric's lives"...
it's about the fans disagreeing with the choices they're making regarding the band they're a fan of. Choices that entirely ignore the music & legacy of STP, in favor of money. The choices they've made and the way they act during these interviews makes it very clear what their motives are, and typically when someone sells out, fans tend to look down on those choices. It's really simple.
As far as the relationship between the DeLeos/Eric and Scott go, that's irrelevant in terms of the music. They had their ups & downs, but they put out amazing music, and couldn't have done that without each other. The difference is when they were apart. Scott was fine experimenting as an artist, singing with other bands, and working as a solo musician. The DeLeos/Eric tried, but they never gained much success without Scott. So rather than actually "moving on" and trying again on their own merits, they chose to live in STP's past.
Oh, and sure, I'll listen to whatever shit music they make with their online singer. Just like I'd stare at a train wreck. It's a morbid curiosity thing. There's a very small chance it could be good, but I HIGHLY doubt it. On top of that, there's zero chance it'll sound, feel, or belong in the STP catalog.
