Yeah, he got way lost in the drugs later in his career, but you can't deny his talent. The dude had a voice that was perfect for STP.
I'm listening to Core right now after too many years of having it shelved. Man, this album dropped the same year I started high school, and was in constant rotation on the tape deck in my car, while hanging out, and at parties for the next 4 years and after.
RIP Scott!

Plush is my absolute favorite song to play on bass

Same here.

Saw STP in concert in (95?) when they were touring behind their 2nd album - absolutely mind-blowing.

Wow, that's too bad. RIP, Scott.

To say "sour girl" was a break up song for me after my ex dumped me is an understatement.

He was scheduled to play at a venue about 45 minutes away from me tonight and I was actually thinking about going.

STP was one of my favorite bands from that era. RIP Scott.

STP was one of my favorite bands from that era.

Holy Sh!t. Saw him twice fronting Velvet Revolver (Scott with Guns'n'Roses, basically). Heading there the first time and knowing his recent history, I thought we would be the weak link, (but I had gotten screwed out of seeing G'n"R by Axl's bullsh!t a couple years earlier). Nothing could have been further from the truth, he was a mesmerizing showman. R.I.P., Scott, unfortunately I speculate that you probably did it to yourself.

Another sad story of someone's demons taking over their talent. Probably one of the best pure rock voices ever.

I coveted my friend's Compact Disc players back then
