Just finished the book today, only after a couple days, such interesting flip the page reading, and related to alot of what Mary told us! She was so kind about Scott, as he wasto her in his memoirs... They just couldn't make it... Both awesome people with problems of our generation. Addiction, mental health, and family issues that all lead to disfunction. Listen, no one is perfect, and they are rising everyday! You go WEILANDS! Very inspirational! :-)

Listen, no one is perfect, and they are rising everyday! You go WEILANDS! Very inspirational! :-)
So here we are, many years later as STP has established themselves wonderfully, these little fuckers are "still" comparing these two great and VERY DIFFERENT BANDS, here's what people have to know-the people saying this are the little fuckers who have just discovered this music-you know, little wet behind the ear bastards who think they know everything? Yea, YOU!
What, no respect for Layne Staley in this frontman cock contest? Weiland and Vedder are great, but I'd have to say Staley was the greatest voice of the 90's.
@Fakename70 did you read the book? I assume you didn't it is really not a tell-all. a lot of the book is about her and her life and drug addiction... she does talk about scott but only towards the end of the book.
No, I didn't read the book and didn't even know there was one until 3 days ago. But, seriously, would anyone know who she is or even give a squirt "about her and her life and drug addiction" if that didn't include Scott Weiland, rock star? Spin it any way you like, but, it's still called cashing in. I fail to see what's so inspiring about that.
I just noticed that this book is written by a ghost writer so mary forsberg didn't actually write a fucking thing. She basically gave an interview to a guy who writes books for people. If you have read enough books like I have you will learn books like these are riddled with inaccurate information. That being said, if I do happen apon this book I'll read it. Scott is cool!
This book is terrific. If you haven't got it, get a copy. I'm from the UK, and it didn't get exposure over here, but I hunted it down. Very pleased that I did, and have recommended it to all my friends.
Well, I love this woman. Not the typical star or voluptuous model. She owns a beauty fine, elegant, simple. At the same time is so serious, so mature, so worthy. I love it.
So yea it doesn't look like I'm gonna be a rockstar anytime soon but that gig Weiland had before STP driving models around now that is something I wouldn't mind putting my heart n' soul into.
mary, you let someone write a book for you , and while in the bookstore selling the first copies you think "hmmm, its wierd that our life is in the bookstores now"
i'm a huge stp and scott weiland fan and i really enjoyed the book. i actually read it twice. it's pretty much just an autobiography of herself. yes, she mentions scott and his drug problem here and there, but it was stuff that i had already heard about from the media. i don't believe she ever bashed him in the book.
@Xtnerz I'm also a huge STP and Weiland fan, since I was 14 and Core first came out! I'm looking formward to reading this book.
I think Scott has always been very open about his problems and experiences in the past (especially when hes a bit fucked and just goes off telling long stories in interviews these days!), so I don't think it would be a problem for Mary to write about this stuff.
Hope Scott can stay clean of dope and stop popping so many pills. I live in fear of losing him..
@digitaIIive If I ever split from my husband I would have enough respect for him to not write a book about it. But hey, I'm sure it will be a great read for their kids.
@Donalou1 that comment is absolutely stupid. I'm sorry. She obviously wrote about HER life and he was in it. A lot of people write books and nobody minds that unless you were married to a celebrity. that's crap.
@doodame what has she lied about? nothing in the video really goes into that. if you've read the book then you can track most of what she says based on information that you can find in major media. There are a few things that they disagree on in the book, which she notes, but I can't imagine that she went and wrote with book without Scott's okay.
@doodame woah relax. dont get involved in other people's lives especially when you dont know them. she seems like a down to earth girl and theres more to marriage than photos in magazines. it means theyre really together. they wake up in the same place. when hes fucked she has to carry that weight. its not all fun and games. and they each see something in each other that made them feel like they could spend, maybe, the rest of their lives together. if you respect scott respect his wife.
I am proud of Mary's recap of their life, her book was amazing, she did not tear Scott down, or blame him for anything, I am also proud that Mary is now in school to be an addiction counselor. Having a psych degree and doing my thesis on addiction and creative personalities.... I'm proud of her. :)
Very poorly written book, hard to read the story jumps around and is very boring. It may be my fault reading Scar tissue first, that book was amazing,,, Don't get me wrong Scott Weiland is the best frontman in the world, my absolute favorite singer.
Weiland is far more talented than Eddie, dude can sing anything and do it better than almost anyone. Eddie's name is Vedder, btw, not Vender. Weiland amazes me with every live or recorded performance.
@madman3737 Pure bullshit...they're BOTH great,and bring completely different things to the table.Weiland is probably a better 'pure frontman,but Vedder has worked his way into becoming a very solid guitarist for example;I'm not aware of any musical instrument that Weiland can match up with Ed's guitar abilities!
Vender sucks today, in 1995, yes Vender is good. But today he sucks (my opinion). I haven't heard of weiland's voice since velvot revolver which i thought was oK, but Way better than Venders. in 90s, Vender was better, in 2000s, weiland is maybe better (only their new album will tell).
yah first i heard that "Pearl Jam stereotype" was on SNL with that stupid David Spade commentary "I liked them better when they were called Pearl Jam"...they have a completely different sound, and they were (i believe) just comparing vedder's voice to weilands...but weiland's vocal range is much broader in my opinion esp in his prime...
Scott Weiland is the best rock and roll front man around. Eddie Veder may be a better singer and probably more of a musician and songwriter. But Weiland has "it" and I hope he can keep his shite together for a lot longer.
Lamentate: Core (the first album) is prob THE BEST they ever released. Check on it. But props on defending them...I hate that Pearl Jam stereotype that was given by the media years ago. Clearly u ppl arent LISTENING! 28 days to VIP seats at the Rave Milwaukee! Cant WAIT for the new album!
MIRA: that's only true of STP's first album. They developed their own styie after that, and, truth be told, they were no more or less derivative than Danzig was solo from 'Purple' onwards.
Danzig is king though and his influence on modern music is far greater than STP, and in a way that could never be reflected in market terms.
mirapilates, you don't know shit so don't talk about it. Weiland is the best frontman for any rock band. And no he did not imitate eddie vedder cause they don't sound one thing alike, scott has way better range and changes his voice, vedder can't.
go to the clip "Danzig gets riffed of by Stone Temple Pilots" and tell me thats not a rip off. His megaphone shtick was ripped off of Gibby Haynes from the buthole surfers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ahh which came first. danzig started the misfists ...a band started in the 70's and still going to this day. pretty much a legacy...STP is commercially driven slop for people who lack the urge to dig a little deeper and find out where the style originated. a dash of cobain, a little layne staley and a whole lot of eddie vedder ....= this rock and roll cliche
@mirapilates you do realize that stp had thier entire first cd recorded on a demo in 89 which (if you arent a complete dumass) youd know was before pearljam even existed and before any one ever cared about nirvana. how can they copy something that doesnt exist yet. especially when the demo had wicked garden on it, one of thier most succesfull songs. looks like you fail.
@cheapsuit91 u dont eeven know why it is like this.. at least if u understand whati meant with my username u culd be said something btw u did nothing for rock, u cant compare urself with vedder or anyone ucan give your own opinion but u cant say "vedder suck"
@dennisjr77 If you were intelligent you would understand that this is my point, people compare them to PJ when he never sounded like them in the first place!
If I were Scott, I would be having a hard time adjusting to music...its tough, with groups like BUCKCHERRY and PUDDLE of MUDD resonating a nd resembling him almost ...it just is FINE that the MUSIC and musicians that do it are REALLY GOOD.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
its funny they ripped him off and he ripped off layne staylee and eddie vedder. he made a career out of ripping people off now he tries to act like iggy pop/perry ferrel/ david bowie. his band ripped off the opening riff of danzigs "snakes of christ" for their song "sex type thing". This guys been a phony since day 1.
I think it is a legit subject to be talked about.... Is she making cash off her husband? yeah... SO WHAT it's not like she didn't put in her dues to make that money.... I say more power to her as drug addiction has taken so many great musicians maybe her book might help someone.......
Hey, Mary, can I have him? Pretty please?
