Scott Weiland will always be best remembered for his time leading the Stone Temple Pilots. While Weiland was no longer with the band when he died earlier this month, the remaining members of the band were strongly affected by the news of his passing.
Where The River Goes: A Final Conversation With Scott Weiland
After writing an open letter to fans, the band members got together to record a moving tribute to the late Weiland. In a statement issued to Rolling Stone, the three surviving members discuss their thoughts behind the video:
“Recently the three of us sat down together to share our memories of Scott and take a moment to reflect on the amazing times we shared. We put the master up of a song called ‘Atlanta’ from the No. 4 record that we feel really highlights the true brilliance of Scott. We would like to share it with you. Together let’s honor Scott. … ‘Memories of Candles and Incense.’ Having the opportunity to listen to these tracks individually reveal the beauty of Scott’s lyrical and melodic gift. This is one of the many musical moments we shared together. It is in this way we would like to remember Scott.”
