You wouldn't happen to be the "kid" who ran up on stage?  Scott actually liked that, he said something along the lines of, "Takes me back to the old days".

No that wasnt me... But I remember that happening... No way I was going to risk getting kicked out I was having blast

That is true, it does suck that he got kicked out but it was at the end of the concert.  I would trade listening to a couple more songs, for a hug with one of the guys.

That is very true... this is giving me some ideas for future concerts.....

I'm telling you, we're all gonna be doing it

It sure is tempting  .  That got me thinking, wouldn't a private show for BelowEmpty members just be awesome?

[wayne gretzky]

Good to see Scotts loving the new album , wish theyd play more of it live

I think it's the least they can do for us

If each member (who would be willing to participate) gathered up $500-$1000 I think it would be possible.  Then we could create our own setlist for them on a vote.  It would be their first show ever in which they would probably not have to play Plush :p. Now, I am just dreaming lmao.

Security can never be too careful whenever someone rushes the stage. You don't know what that person's motives are. Kind of sad that those precautions have to be taken now. But shouldn't the guys have had a say in whether the guy got kicked out or not? Also, would not have minded being stoned and talking to Scott, for as short a time as you two spoke, lol.

I'd be all for that. I don't think travel would be a problem for most of us, either, seeing as how a lot of people travel to other states for STP shows anyway. I wonder just how much getting them to play would cost.

Well, firstly, some of us don't live in the States so it may be more difficult than you think
Secondly, they could also give us an online show via webcam, and then have a little Q&A session afterwards!

After reading this story I just keep thinking about the "Mean Joe Green" commercial.

And that's why I said 'most', haha.
Webcam idea is also great.

Man I really had an amazing time. Everything from the road trip, the hotel parties, and of course the show was amazing as well

And best of all.... I got to meet scott weiland for a couple of mins!!

After the show was over... I dont remember how much longer it was exactly... But I thought I saw scott but wasnt sure at first because he was wearing shades and I was super stoned... Lots of stuff being passed around in section.... Anyways I caught up with him and blurted out "hey scott gonna hit up some slot machines?" He stopped gave a little grin and said "nah its not really my thing" and suprisingly asked if I "was getting anything out of those things or something?" I kind of got a little nervous there for a sec that my favorite singer of all time just asked me question. But I told him I kept to the black.jack tables. He then said if he were to do something that it would.be poker

I think he could tell I was stoned... Even though he had his shades on I noticed him crack some smiles when I messed up some words.... Aanyways very randomly and moronically I then told him not to get the pizza here and that it fucking sucked... He said he had some last march when they played here but he didnt remember what it was like and that hed take my word on the pizza there... It was a sarcastic moment but it was pretty funny at the time
Next thing I blurted out was that tiny music was my favorite album of all time... He said it was one of his favoritr stp albums but that hes really into the new album the most... After he said that I said dare if you dare was my favorite song from the peace album... He said "oh yeah thats an amazing song" and went on for a tidbit how much he loves the new album and that he was listened to peacoat a couple times before the show. I don't know why I did this, but I told scott my least favorite stp song was on the new album and that its called first kiss on mars... I almost had that "oh shit feeling" after I said that but he replied back quickly and said quote "don't tell robert that!"
Suprisingly he laughed more than me there and I was really stoned. Also I brought up only dying. I felt like I needed to remind him of this masterpiece that they made years back. When I brought up only dying it seemed like he was taken back and said "kid I couldn't even tell you the last time we played that number" I also tried to crack a joke by saying they should pull a soundgarden and release it as a single and see if it gets a grammy nomination. He didn't really respond to what I said instead just said "yeah those guys" didn't know what that meant. About thirty seconds later I cut it off by saying well man ill let you go I'm sure you got shit to do and stuff it was nice talking to you and that I didn't want to take up too much of his time though I did want to lol.I shook his hand and even did a fist pound. His last words were "alright see ya later kid"

All of this took place in a span of about three full mins... maybe I could have asked better questions but it was what it was and there was nothing wrong with that. I also brought up this site and he's said he's heard of it.... I told him my username though its not like he'll remember it lol

Holy cow!!! Greatest story of all time!
How many people can say they bullshitted around with mr weiland?
nice job warning him about the pizza he could have gotten a stomach virus and cancelled some upcoming shows :p

[Casual]

Just wanna say thanks for the videos.  I love that jam they did after Still Remains...the jam sounded like something from Purple era!!!

Also loved stpunderground's story about meeting Weiland.   I disagree about FKOM though   Sounds like good times though.

Just a total guesstimate but I would say at least $20,000 for a show.

[Silver guns and Candybars]

I was there too now my turn to tell the story!!
first off amazing show. Stp live is always great but here on this night they were greater than usual
And I won $236 playing poker!
I was blown away by dean. He played his ass off guitar was so good
Then after the show stpunderground was all I think thats weiland over there.
I figured it was the good stuff kicking to him after some stoner wearing a shangri tshirt smoked us out in our section.
We are 20 year old college students so dont judge us 
Anyways I never even looked and he was all dude its really fucking scott weiland im gonna go say whats up.
He did and I started peeking and once I saw scott adjust his shades I nearly sharted on myself bc I knew it was him.
I didnt know what to do. so i pretended like I was talking on my cell phone and got closer.
I didnt want to just jump in and ruin it and scare weiland away.
I got sort of close but I could hardly hear anything 
I heard the word peacoat and some laughter and that was all.
I kept pretending to talk on the cell after stpunderground left in hopes that robert would magically appear.
Forget weiland, I wanna see robert
No offense, but im a bass player and robby is a massive influence on me.
Anways weiland walked off shortly with two dudes who werent in stp.
One was on the cell the hole time.
As they walked off I very ignorantly yelled where the hell is robert?
In probaly the same tone that roberts wife would have used when she's pissed at him
Nobody even looked back or even payed attention to me.
Those bastards
I didn't get to meet any stp members but it was one hell of a show!
Ill never forget it

Hahaha it's like a wildlife documentary. Don't get too close or you'll scare the panda away 

[cosmicpilot]

LMAO

I would've used a Leopard myself LOL, in my best David Attenborough voice

"as we go closer to the untamed Leopard, we observe his tactics"
