Scott Weiland is Dire Need of Help - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Rocker Duff McKagan and his Velvet Revolver band mates kicked frontman Scott Weiland out of the group when it became clear he couldn't stay away from alcohol and drugs.

The band fired the wild singer a year ago and have been hunting for his replacement ever since, but McKagan, who helped Weiland initially clean up his act by taking him off to a karate retreat, insists the decision to get rid of the star was the right one.

The bass player says, "There is a part of him (Weiland) that I became friends with... He's a really good guy and funny. I know that guy is there somewhere. It just got lost again. We tried to pull Scott back, but we couldn't. When he's into that other side, it's not cool. It's not friendly. You try to help, but then after a while you realize you can't."

The song "Suicide Messiah" by Black Label Society is supposed to be about Scott Weiland. He's pretty much one of the most toxic indivuals in rock and roll.

Scott Weiland has been in and out of rehab many times over the years. He has been helped before, but apparently is hell-bent on self-destruction.

In order for rehab to work, one has to want to get clean and sober. Weiland has demonstrated that he can be clean and sober if he chooses to. I believe he was clean for a few years, at any rate, but he always falls back into his deadly ways.

I hope that Weiland doesn't end up like Cobain or Alice In Chains' Layne Stayley, but if he doesn't make an effort to get clean and stay clean, then he may very well end up a rock 'n roll casualty.
