Scott Weiland Biography
After first rocketing to fame as the frontman for grunge-era
favorites Stone Temple Pilots, singer Scott Weiland later mounted a
solo career. Born October 27, 1967, in Santa Cruz, CA, he was raised
outside of Cleveland, but moved back to the West Coast at the age of
15, immersing himself in the thriving Orange County punk scene. In 1987
Weiland founded the band Mighty Joe Young with guitarist Robert DeLeo;
later rechristened Stone Temple Pilots, the group became one of the
biggest acts of the mid-'90s, following the lead of artists like
Nirvana and Pearl Jam to top the charts with their angst-ridden hard
rock sound. However, their success did not come without a price, and
following the group's second LP, 1994's Purple, it was revealed that
Weiland had become a heroin addict. After a stay in rehab, he returned
to Stone Temple Pilots to record their third record, 1996's Tiny
Music...Songs from the Vatican Giftshop. However, after Weiland
suffered a relapse in his ongoing battle with drugs, the group was
forced to cancel their upcoming tour; when the other three members
subsequently recorded an album with a different singer under the name
Talk Show, STP's continued existence appeared shaky at best, and
Weiland went solo to record 1998's 12 Bar Blues.
Problems stemming from drug abuse continued to dog Weiland during the
late '90s as his album faltered commercially and a subsequent arrest
for buying heroin ultimately landed the troubled singer in jail.
Nonetheless, STP reconvened for the 1999 album No. 4 featuring the hit
single Sour Girl -- purportedly inspired by the breakup of Weiland's
marriage. Despite the success of the album, STP officially parted ways
around 2001 surrounding speculation that a fight between Weiland and
DeLeo was to blame. Post his time with STP, Weiland still seemed unable
to avoid controversy as a car crash on his birthday in 2003 landed him
in rehab. Around this time, former Guns N' Roses members guitarist
Slash, bassist Duff McKagan, and drummer Matt Sorum auditioned Weiland
for their new band. The trio took to Weiland immediately, and the newly
christened hard rock ensemble Velvet Revolver released their debut
album, Contraband, in 2004. The album sold well and the band even
picked up a Grammy for Best Rock Song for the single Slither in 2005.
Weiland was also onboard for Velvet Revolver's 2007 sophomore effort,
