From late 1992 and throughout the remainder of the decade, if you spent any amount of time watching MTV or listening to rock radio, you were bound to come in contact with a tune by Stone Temple Pilots. With such classic releases as Core, Purple, and Tiny Music....
Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop selling millions and spawning countless hits (Sex Type Thing, Plush, Creep, Vasoline, Interstate Love Song, Big Empty, Big Bang Baby, etc.), STP is now widely considered one of rock's all-time great acts. And during this time, there were few rock frontmen who commanded an audience and generated as many headlines as Scott Weiland. Despite fronting another successful band, Velvet Revolver, and issuing his own critically acclaimed solo albums, Weiland could not overcome his demons - passing away in 2015 (at the age of 48).
Scott Weiland: Memories of a Rock Star features nearly 30 all-new interviews conducted exclusively for this book, including members of bands that toured with STP (Megadeth, Meat Puppets, Blind Melon, etc.), worked with Scott (Scott's autobiography co-author David Ritz, video directors Kevin Kerslake and Josh Taft, producer/engineer Chris Goss, etc.), or were friends and/or admirers of Scott's music (Richard Patrick, Bob Forrest, Matt Pinfield, Eddie Trunk, etc.). Get ready for an honest and accurate portrayal of Scott Weiland!

The details shared about Scott are all second-hand accounts and read in a very boring, nerdy tone. There was nothing in this audiobook that I couldn't have gotten doing a Google search. it's a handful of interviews read outloud.
The idea is there, to document what others have said about a great frontman, but it'd be less painful for me to read these interview exchanges about Scott Weiland than to have somebody state the person's name, and follow with their answers. A painful listen. Should have been left alone as a soft cover printed book.

Prato includes highlights from his interviews with Weiland and his STP band mates and takes a close look at the many aspects of his personality, relationships, passion for music, and being an avid fan of Notre Dame football. Members of the rock community discuss Weiland's many influences, such as David Bowie, Axl Rotten, Jim Morrison, and Mick Jagger. Prato questions if Weiland was one of the last great frontmen in rock.
I enjoyed the stories behind the music videos created by the Stone Temple Pilots, which aided in STP becoming one of the top rock bands of the 90s. The author ponders the question, did STP fill the void left by Nirvana following the tragic death of Kurt Cobain? Weinland's autobiography is discussed, here the fallen rock star revealed he was raped at age 12. The book critiques Weiland's association with Velvet Revolver, and his solo recordings.
