My first though was "OMG Scott Weiland finally fatally OD'd?" I wasn't surprised to hear that a large amount of drugs was found near where his body was, only that it was cocaine. It is a vicious beast, addiction....
He was bipolar and lots of people with bipolar self medicate via hard drugs. His STP songs are way better than the Velvet Revolver songs. Such talent, RIP.

Very true...Addiction is a symptom of an underlying psychiatric disorder in my opinion (& personal experience): people try to fill up the 'missing parts' of themselves with substances; the substance changes their neurobiology/cognitive abilities; they treat the symptoms....on and on and around it goes; for some people, the only ROCK BOTTOM is the bottom of the six foot hole their casket goes into. It doesn't make me sad; it makes me angry. Infuriated. INCANDESCENT, when I think of the lives ruined by addiction. There but for the grace...
I was at an STP concert at QE theater. Must have been 15 years ago.
It was great.....Scott said something like his 2 favourite things about Vancouver are the women and the heroin.
Then he told all the girls to take their tops off. Quite a few did.
They didn't play big bang baby......so that was upsetting.
