Executive summary: Frontman, Stone Temple Pilots Scott Weiland started performing punk in California's Orange County at age 15. Purportedly met bassist Robert DeLeo at a Black Flag concert, where they discovered they were both dating the same woman. Jamming with drummer Eric Kretz and DeLeo's brother Dean, they called themselves Mighty Joe Young from 1990-1992. Then, while recording their first album, lawyers discovered the name Mighty Joe Young was already trademarked, and the group renamed itself Stone Temple Pilots.
Weiland's arrests include heroin (1998), probation violation (1999), wife-beating (2001), heroin, cocaine, and drugged driving (2003).
While there's been no official announcement, all indications are that Stone Temple Pilots and their drug-addled frontman have gone their separate ways. Weiland has also sung solo, was briefly in a band called the Magnificent Bastards, and has served as lead singer for Velvet Revolver since 2003.
