If Scott was consistently like this, I'm sure STP would take him back.

No they wouldn't.  They're retarded.  They've been making shit decisions for the last decade.  They can blame Scott all they want but the Deleos have been running the STP franchise for the past decade plus.  Not Scott.  These guys are lazy and uninterested in running a successful band during these times.  They want to run the band like they are in the 80's.  Same shit setlist.  No fan interaction.  No nothing.  Good luck with the scraps Chester throws down.  The play was to lay low for a couple of years and comeback with some new music and tour.  5 song EP, dumb.


The DeLeos made a shit decision by taking the thing that was, at that point, dragging them down, and cutting it loose? If they hadn't fired him, Weiland would've gotten worse and worse and the venues would've gotten smaller and smaller until they were playing the bars that Weiland himself is currently playing with the Fuckabouts.


I think the DeLeos could've handled it a bit better than they did, but I understand their decision completely.
100% agreed! Although some think the DeLeo's could have handled the situation better, they had to do what they had to do! People and fans are so quick to judge their decision to cut Scott loose but not one single person has been in
any of the band's shoes. Suddenly the rest of the three members of STP are the bad guys and Chester is an @$$hole for joining the band. Like they plainly told everyone already, their BS meter ran it's course with Scott. You're going to jump
on them after dealing with it for 20 years? Really? Really??  Again, none of you have ever been in their shoes!  I've been a fan since day 1 of the  Core days and been following them ever since. The decision has been made and am ready for them to move on with
Chester!
Maybe the band won't have that artsy swag to it without Scott and will have more of a metal edge with Chester but I'm looking forward to the new EP 110% all the way! I will still love and follow Scott the solo artist and I will follow STP 2.0. Bring it on!
Can't wait!  ;)



  Totally appreciate this take.  Can't blame them for moving on and jamming with Chester.  I'm a fan of Chester.  But this whole stunt was an FU to Scott.  The overwhelming response is vs. this move.  I'm one of those voices........
