Scott Weiland Should Not Be Giving Interviews Right Now

It’s not what Scott Weiland says in this LA Times interview that will disturb you, so much as what he doesn’t seem to be able to say: anything. For instance, how did recent family tragedies affect the creation of his new solo album, Happy In Galoshes?

It’s been a, a, year and a half, where my brother…passed away…my mother had cancer, but survived…beat the cancer…and I, uh…my wife and I [undiscernable] there’s always uh…as an artist…there’s…I guess there’s…the bonus.

Watching him construct that sentence might be the longest forty-five seconds of your life.

Lots of artists complain about the road and being away from their family, but few come off as tired or as agonized as the Stone Temple Pilots frontman. “It pains me when I’m gone for a month, even…there, uh, um…there are differences…big, positive, amazing differences…beautiful differences that I haven’t been a part of because I’ve been…working…to…uh, well, to make the money.” Good thing you’re back on tour in January, bro!

If this clip wasn’t bad enough, Weiland also made an appearance on Howard Stern today, showing up late and pissing off the host. Check out some recap highlights of that interview after the jump.
