Scott Weiland Isn’t High; He’s just a good salesman
Maybe by now some of you heard about STP’s show in Phoenix last week.
During the opener, which was “Big Empty”, frontman Scott Weiland “fell” into drummer Eric Kretz’s drum kit. Reportedly, Scott was also mumbling and forgetting lyrics throughout the night. And this wasn’t the first time during this tour that similar reports have surfaced.

Weezer Gives Hints For Upcoming Tour
Weezer’s recent webisode gives fans some hints for the cities that the band will be hitting on their upcoming tour.
The clip starts off with musically wirh “Pork and Beans” and then segues into “Troublemaker”, which is obviously another tune from their most recent release Red Album. As the music plays on fast shots of parts cities, such as Boston, New York and Philly, flash by.
