Yea... I'm pretty happy that they're using that as their current name. As far as the website goes, I completely understand if they believe that the band isn't Stone Temple Pilots at all without Scott. It's completely understandable if you feel that way. I can't imagine The Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger or Kieth Richards. It was the same exact situation with Velvet-revolver.com
The statement for closing the website read something along the lines of..."Velvet Revolver consists of Scott Weiland, Slash, Dave Kushner, Duff Mckagan, and Matt Sorum" and something like "We believe every member is what makes this band, and it wouldn't be Velvet Revolver otherwise.
Who knows, maybe it's the fact that if Scott isn't involved, it shouldn't carry the name, or if they truly feel like no member should be replaceable, then I can respect that.
I sure as hell understand it. There are different circumstances, like Metallica or ACDC, or even with The Stones and the whole Brian Jones situation.
If Rik and Ivy feel that Stone Temple Pilots is: Scott Weiland, Dean Deleo, Robert Deleo, and Eric Kretz, then it's their right to name it the way they see it. This is a fan site, not STP's website, and they're definitely not alone when it comes to that feeling.
