I become somewhat obsessed with musicians. But there are perpetuals, ‘lifers’, I guess.
Those that will always be top of the heap, do no wrong, that I will defend til I seizure.
Its a short list, but its a concrete list and its tough to get on. Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Elvis Costello, Justin Furstenfeld… and my darling Scott Weiland.
Its a huge week for Scott, new release new video, new tour. News of illness, news of addictions.
Now word comes out that gives a bit of insight to this smoking hot guy an unparalleled shyness.
Scott reports that that the vocals for this new release were recorded alone. He would take the studio work, to his own spot and record on his own. Weiland reports that his addictions stem from self consciousness that overwhelms him. Heroin cured it so to speak.
Quote the fox;
I’ve never felt comfortable in crowds. I remember even before we ever made it big, going into my favourite bar where I knew virtually everybody. I just walked in and I was being looked at, and I didn’t feel comfortable. Unfortunately, when I started doing heroin in 1993, it took away that fright. I didn’t care who was looking at me.”
I have not heard the new release yet. I’m sorta scared to I wont like it and I’m always honest with my opinion here.
But you’ll Ill cover it for you soon- just hope it doesn’t suck.
