Scott Weiland of Velvet Revolver has been arrested again. Shit, I hope it wasn't drugs again. It says unspecified drug, does that mean it could simply be alcohol? I hope so. It's so good to see him clean and out of trouble for years, really disapointed with this. I can't look up to him, even as one of my favourite singers/artists, when he keeps getting into shit like this.
From everything I've heard, he was just drunk, but they could hit him with the drug charge because he refused the blood/urine samples.
The blood & urine samples only makes the DA going after a drug charge that much easier. Trust me, I know from experience. I was tricked into giving one. Most likely, the court will order Weiland to give a blood and/or urine sample to determine his tox screen. His BAC will obviously come back positive, so that's a DUI right there probably. If the court does order the blood/urine samples, then that's just more added onto the DUI. Clearly, he's fucked. Slash & Co. just can't get a break. Either they have an egomaniac as a frontman, or a drug addict/alcoholic as a frontman. Bad, bad luck.
Weiland really looked like he was improving though, that's why this is all so disapointing. I hope this doesn't end up spelling the end of VR, same way it ruined STP.
