Scott Weiland interview on The Cowhead Show gets awkward, goes viral

By Joel Weiss on Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 4:22 pm

102-5 The Bone's website posted the interview. Hear it here.

Spin posted a story.

Muckraking rock/metal news site Blabbermouth.net talked about it as well.

Click here for the post at TMZ and some pretty hilarious comments, like this one:

this dude cowhead is a hack and all of the people on his show are hacks as well. where do they get the audacity to publicly mock an artist as brilliant and accomplished as scott weiland? cowhead, et al. could only ever hope to be even one percent as creative and successful as scott weiland in their insignificant petty lives. instead they are congratulating themselves on making an incredibly obvious observation: scott unfortunately has the disease of addiction. cowhead et. al. are shameless opportunistic nobodies. i hope they all get syphilis and die.

The last would-be Stone Temple Pilots show in Tampa in 2008 was well-documented. The opening band was here. Kretz and the DeLeo brothers were here. Scott Weiland wasn't.

Yesterday afternoon, Tampa Bay's own 102-5 The Bone afternoon jock Cowhead dared to ask Scott Weiland what happened. Enough awkardness followed that Cowhead bet Weiland $10,000 that tonight's show wouldn't happen either.

Considering Weiland's rambling rant at the last STP gig before the band took a few weeks off, the frontman might have some interesting things to say about the interview if/when they perform at the St. Pete Times Forum tonight.

Music blogs and gossip sites alike are all over this today. Links to the interview and some articles after the jump.
