He has since reassured fans, and has released his new tape 'CRASHOUT JUNKIE' on SoundCloud
Noah Weiland, the son of late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott, sparked fears this month by saying he would “rather be dead” than live like his father.
On December 3, Noah played a show at the Garden Amp outdoor amphitheatre in Orange County to mark the 10th anniversary of his father’s passing at the age of 48. He played songs from across Scott’s career, including classics such as ‘Sex Type Thing’ and Velvet Revolver’s ‘Slither’.
In the days following the show, Noah shared a series of posts on his Instagram Stories that left some followers worried. On December 11, he posted, “Thank you everybody. Til next time,” set to Green Day’s ‘Last Night On Earth’, while another questioned the money that he made from the tribute show.
Another read: “I’d rather be dead…then live the same way my father did. Regardless of all this, it’s been a long journey. Can’t wait to see him again, and thank you for all the support along the way. Won’t ever forget this.”
A week later (December 18), Noah posted a more reassuring message, which referenced the concerns that his earlier posts had prompted. “Well I wasn’t exactly expecting tmz to post about me wanting to [kill] myself,” he said. “I guess im just new to this attention.”
He continued that in honour of his “final crashout of the year”, he was sharing his new mixtape ‘CRASHOUT JUNKIE’ as a SoundCloud-only exclusive, which you can listen to here.
“I would say it’s a compilation of versatile / different genre songs about fkery, mental battles, cheap motels & bum vodka,” he said about the 8-track release.
Scott Weiland died in 2015, and it has been reported that the cause of death was an accidental overdose due to the singer taking a “toxic mix of drugs”, although those claims have been contested by Weiland’s widow, Jamie Wachtel Weiland.
At the start of the month, one of Weiland’s previously unreleased tracks, ‘If I Could Fly’ was released for the first time.
Penned by the singer back in 2000 after the birth of Noah, the song captured the same distinctive sound that put Weiland on the map, and arrived on streaming exactly a decade to the day since Weiland passed away.
In a tribute from NME, Weiland was hailed as a “flawed rock ‘n’ roll genius”, listed five of his most iconic moments, and shared: “it is sad to see yet another flawed musician passing away in such sad circumstances”.

Scott was a very talented singer/songwriter. It is mind-boggling how many musicians of his era died young and of drugs/alcohol/suicide. Such a shame.
I know nothing about the kiddo, but I wish him well. It’s got to be horrible losing your father so young. Bad enough at any age.
A man shouldn’t run down his dead father...ever.
Even if he was awful, just remain quiet and say something like you hope he has finally found peace.
I miss my dad. For 10 years now.
“...classics such as ‘Sex Type Thing’ and Velvet Revolver’s ‘Slither’.”
Right up there with “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” and “Silent Night.”
Over 20 for me. I know how you feel. So many things I’d love to talk to him about.
The neurological effect male voices sung through an electric amplifier and the staccato of electric guitars needs to be studied. It appears to directly affect the midbrain. In some women it drives them into a sexual frenzy . Many wish to and actually copulate with the singers. Often these men would otherwise never be noticed by these women in other settings. In men this exposure seems to lead to recurrent intoxication, bizarre primal behavior, deafness and early deaths.
I miss mine, too. More than 18 years now.
I think the women just want “braggin rights”. I see steven tyler has another sexual assault charge agaisnt him. So many women just want the notariety of having slept with rock stars.
I thought you were joking. I didn't know this vocalist, Scott Weiland, put out a Christmas album that included those two songs.
I remember the bands STP and Velvet Revolver. I didn't know he went solo and sang other music.
For anyone interested, here he is, singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas":
Scott Weiland - I'll Be Home for Christmas.
Here's the whole Christmas album:
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Sounds like he wants to avoid drugs. Smarter than his dad.
Disagree on that. Depends on the father and many of which can be especially cruel or non existent. Father’s can be a POS just like anybody including mother’s and if they are they should be remembered as such.
Suicide ideation is popular now. All the cool kids are doing it.
So he, like many others, are supposed to have been like Van Goughs of the pop music business? I don’t think so.
lol. I WAS joking.
Time for an early-morning hifi blast of Sex Type Thing for Scott’s 10th anniversary passing.
How about the effect of distorted and amplified guitars on the male brain? Amped my testosterone to the point I (as a younger supernerdy intellectual type) hit gyms, grew an amount of muscle that had my parents worried, went into bars to befriend strange women….odd effects !
Sometimes you’ve just got to be honest. This is especially true for the children of people with drug and alcohol problems. Because the genetics are there. And so might me other parts. If he needs that layer of separation to protect himself then that’s what he should do. Better than dead at 48 like his dad.
Other than the deafness and early death part, this is exactly why I first picked up a guitar as a teenager!
