Well atleast Scooter had one person in his life who wasn't a soul sucking piece of shit.
I think there are two sides with any person who has bad things to say about Scott Weiland. Calling anyone that dealt with him a "soul sucking piece of shit" isn't very honest.
Let's not forget that Jamie's perspective of Mary is pretty worthless. She seems like a nice lady, but anything she ever heard about Mary was probably directly from Scott's mouth... The only side of the story she ever got was from a man clearly suffering paranoid delusions.
And the fact that Scott didn't pay into Jamie's prenup is a pretty good sign that Mary's claims that Scott stopped paying child support are true.
I think the only real soul sucker in Scott's life was really Scott. He even screwed over someone as sweet and loving as Jamie.
Let's also not forget that Mary is a liar and lied a lot in her book and when Scott died, she lied about most of that bullshit she said on Rolling Stone. Let's also not forget she claims she's no longer bipolar, but well then what the fuck is wrong with her? I mean she was on medication for it and diagnosed as bipolar so obviously something is wrong. She also was a hardcore drug addict and a fame seeking model.
How do you know she lied in Rolling Stone? It's her word versus Jamie's, and neither in an unbiased opinion. Rather than calling either one of them soul sucker, maybe just accept that you have no where near enough actual information to judge either of them. They could be great or terrible people, but we have nothing to go on.
The simple fact is Jamie didn't really know Mary, and vice versa. Neither has a valid perspective on the other's relationship with the man.
Saying Scott was "clearly suffering paranoid delusions." Is a joke. Theres really no proof of that at all. And anything brought up about a little stretch of the truth is just grasping for something thats not there.
The man spent his final years holed up in the back of a tour bus avoiding the outside world, in interviews he continually expressed denial and a complete disassociation with reality. Just look at the way he handled Art of Anarchy, he recorded an album with them, took press photos, and recorded TWO music videos, and then claimed they were scamming him by saying he was part of the band.
Hell, don't take my word for it. Talk to Brett, who's probably the only person on this forum to speak with Scott in the last year or two before he died.
Also saying "the only real soul sucker in Scott's life was really Scott." Proves you have not been paying attention and are riding around belowempty on your high horse with your holier than thou opinions. You're not a rockstar so why do you have an ego like one? You like most other humans are blinded by your own perspective and cannot see any prospective outside of your own. I mean you are contradicting things that most people have been saying for fucking years it makes no sense. Everybody knows Scott had Soul suckers around him it's common knowledge it's why he's no longer in stp and is sitting on Jamies mantle in an urn. You just want to wave your ego around and pound your chest like you are always right about everything it's disgusting and a waste of our time.
He's no longer in STP because he because he couldn't act like a professional. You're looking at a situation where he refused to speak to or be in the same room as his band mates, where he refused to show up to rehearsals, where he showed up drunk almost EVERY NIGHT for three years, where he was in such bad shape he couldn't even sing the lyrics to his own songs that were laid out in front of him on a teleprompter at his feet, where he couldn't sing in tune even with songs tuned down a half or even a whole step, where he lost his place in songs even playing at a snail pace, and where when he he was so trashed they finally put their foot down and told him they couldn't tour that way he just decided to play their music with a solo band... And you're saying STP were the soul sucker?
He's on Jamie's mantle in an urn because despite EVERYONE around him trying to get him clean he decided there was no harm in continuing to abuse alcohol and drugs. STP told him to clean up, Mary says she tried to clean him up, members of the Wildabouts tried to clean him up, his parents tried to keep him clean, and Jamie gave him every reason to stay clean. He didn't.
The man was poison to everything he touched, especially himself, and that's what happens when you're an addict. Does that mean he was a bad person? Not entirely. It just means he let the worst parts of himself out when it meant getting fucked up or making money.
