When I formed the band and created the Wildabouts with my friends, we decided we wanted to make a band-sounding album, a rock-sounding album. I made two solo albums before that were more experimental albums, and I think that they didn’t really resonate with my fan base because they were too out-there, too artsy. Scott Weiland Read Quote
Bowie is probably my favorite all-around songwriter and performer and personality. His ability to change over the years is such an inspiration. I love ‘Young Americans’ and ‘Fame.’ Scott Weiland Read Quote
I really didn’t get obsessed with Bowie until my freshman year in high school. I remember listening to ‘Starman’ and thinking it sounded like it was a song for kids, like a lullaby. The Thin White Duke is my favorite look that he created. Scott Weiland Read Quote
I was just a kid in 1987 when I heard of the Pixies, the year after I graduated high school. But I had my band together, and my best friend at the time, Corey Hickock, who was the guitar player in the band that would become STP, Mighty Joe Young, turned me on to the Pixies. Scott Weiland Read Quote
I really have paid no attention to social media. It’s never been something that I’ve done. There are people that put up tour dates and basically say what’s going on, but I need to get more involved, because I hear about rumors that are absolutely ridiculous. Scott Weiland Read Quote
People read things on Google, and they have these perceptions, these misconceived perceptions of who you are. At times that hurts, because they really don’t know who I am. Scott Weiland Read Quote
Who you are as a person has to do with what you think and how you feel. It has to do with how you love and how you care for people. Scott Weiland Read Quote
Lyrically, there’s a lot of songs that are influenced by my wife. They’re about my wife and I. Scott Weiland Read Quote
Do I show up onstage late sometimes? That’s something I could definitely work on. I’m human. Scott Weiland Read Quote
