this statement speaks VOLUMES
I read something where you said being on drugs helped you deal with stage fright.
It wasn’t stage fright as much as social fright. I’ve never felt comfortable in crowds. I remember before we ever made it big or even got signed, going into my favourite bar where I knew virtually everybody, and just walking in and being looked at, I didn’t feel comfortable. Unfortunately, when I started doing heroin in 1993, that took away that fright. I didn’t care who was looking at me.
so for anyone who ever complained how they paid for that ridiculous "meet & greets" for VR and Scott wasn't part of it or how Scott runs from the stage door to his awaiting car while a crowd shouts his name for autograph or pictures....
I've always sympathized with Scott because I know exactly how he feels. I even go for walks and to the store at night because I'm less likely to run into people.
I also think this explains the separate tour buses and going straight to it after the show is over.
scotts always looked very nervous after the stage..
i dont blame him some people just have nervous problems.. or dont like being stared at
i cant stand to eat in a restraunt with lots of people..
due to being stared at My meal hasnt even started and its been three hours when everybody starts to leave that
i feel comfortable to even eat.
i dont blame weiland for being a little embarrassed maybe nervous man.. the lifestyle he lives can be very stressful
