+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+ | |  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" ù 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, Libertad. | |
