Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Scott Weiland – Darkness, Demons, and Legacy

Segment Start: [03:16]

• Recent Full Episode Drop: Jake highlights the just-released episode about Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver). He notes this was one of the most requested subjects by listeners.
• Weiland's Artistic Evolution: Early critiques pigeonholed STP as “JV Pearl Jam,” but their sound developed, especially by the third album.

  “They get the last laugh because they made killer records. Especially that third record, the tiny music from the Vatican thing there.” – Jake Brennan [04:11]

• Personal Struggles: Weiland’s memoir details vivid hallucinations of his “demons” literally manifesting and trapping him in a bathroom.

  “His demons literally manifested themselves right in front of his eyes and trapped him in his bathroom... it’s a wild, wild story.” – Jake Brennan [05:16]

• Impact & Tragedy: Jake reflects on Weiland's onstage magnetism and unpredictability—brilliant but plagued by addiction's chaos.

  “He was still... forming as an artist, as all great artists do... And he’s just gone. Went too quick. And we didn’t get to see what he was fully capable of. And that is a disgrace.” – Jake Brennan [08:00]

• Listener Engagement: Jake invites fans to rate Weiland among the ‘90s frontmen alongside Eddie Vedder, Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, etc.

  “Where does Scott Weiland stand for you guys in the pantheon... How do you rate them? You can only... You only get five.” – Jake Brennan [08:39]

Segment Start: [09:12]

• Wayne Kramer’s Legacy:
  • Co-founder of Jail Guitar Doors USA (with wife and Billy Bragg), a nonprofit donating instruments and running songwriting/music workshops in prisons.

  “If you had the opportunity to ask him, he’d tell you that it was as big of a part as MC5... I’m sure he would tell you that nonprofit... was just as important to his legacy and his memory as was the music that he made.” – Jake Brennan [10:39]

• MC5’s Energy & Influence:

  “First time I heard MC5, I literally could not believe what I was hearing. It had me worked up into a complete frenzy. I wanted to break things. I wanted to crash my car. You know, I was ready to go to jail. It was that over the top, energetic and exciting.” – Jake Brennan [11:38]

• Proto-Punk Hall of Fame: Listeners are challenged to rank MC5, The Stooges, Velvet Underground, The Sonics, and New York Dolls for influence on punk.

[Jake Brennan]

Hey guys, thanks for checking out this bonus episode. Before we get into it, I wanted to fill you in on all the great content as usual that we got going on this week here in the Disgraceland feed. We just dropped a brand new episode on Scott Weiland, a Stone Temple Pilots in Velvet Revolver. Revolver got a rewind episode coming tomorrow on the MC5 over in the Badlands feed. Get a rewind episode from the archive on Dennis Hopper. That's in your feed right now. And another on Robert Mitchum coming tomorrow. Also have a brand new episode of our show that we do for children, for families. Musicland Stories. You can find that over in the show's feed, Music Land Stories right now. So with all of that, let's get into it. Hey discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life. Just a touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland. The After Party. Welcome to the discreet Graceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the After Party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt. On this episode we are talking about, among other things, Scott Weiland, the MC5 and the memory of brother Wayne Kramer. And of course your voicemails, text, DMs and more. And as always, a whole lot of Rosie. All right, Discos, let's get into it. All right, this week in Disgraceland, a brand new episode on Scott Weiland, lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots. And later of course with Velvet Revolver. This is one of our most requested subjects that we've had over the years from you guys. This Scott Wyland. Definitely an artist, even excited about us to cover going back all the way to the beginning. I was psyched that we're finally able to bring this episode to you. It's a dark story. Really, really dark, actually. Scott Wyn, of course, super talented dude, took a lot of. For the first Stone Table Pilots debut album. I was one of those people giving them shit. It got them labeled as a JV Pearl Jam. But of course, Scott Weiland in his band, the Boys in Stone Temple Pilots, they get the last laugh because they made killer records. Especially that third record, the tiny music from the Vatican thing there. I'm fucking up the name of it. I'm recording early, and my brain's not fully working right now. But you know the album I'm talking about and you know, the demons that Scott Weiland was dealing with all the way through a lot of demons. One of the craziest revelations in doing the research from this episode comes from Scott's memoir, which. Which he wrote about four years before he died. Died of an overdose, of course, in 2015. And, you know, according to the memoir, his demons literally manifested themselves right in front of his eyes and trapped him in his bathroom. Of course, he's, you know, when he. When he depicts this, he's deep in the throes of drug addiction, but still, it's a wild, wild story that we were very excited to get into and depict in audio. If you have heard this episode already, and I know a lot of you have, the reaction was. Was quick, it was swift, it was overwhelmingly positive. I can tell a lot of you guys dug this episode. So let me know what specifically you liked about it, and I'm really interested to hear your thoughts on Scott Weiland. 617-906-6638. If you have not heard the episode yet, go check it out. And again, give me a call. 617-906-6638. Scott Weiland is one of those dudes who is tremendously talented. And, you know, as I alluded to at the be briefly mentioned when Stone Temple Pilots hit, they were kind of a JV Pearl Jam. I mean, they were their own thing, but they were. They were definitely the victim of bad timing. And I don't think they were deliberately trying to steal from any of the Seattle bands, which was the rap that they got. I think they just happened to get famous really, really quick in the infancy of their band, before they had the time that most bands have to sort of wood shop work out their sound and become who ultimately they become. On that first album, they did that all just in Public. And you.

[Listeners / Callers]

You.

[Jake Brennan]

The results were you. You get to see them warts and all, and you get to see them before they were fully formed. I think that's what was going on with Stone Temple Pilots. And you hear them fully formed, in my opinion, on that second album, but for me, most excitedly on the third album, that's. That's where I. I sort of went, hm, all right, I need to reconsider these guys. And now when I hear stuff from the second that. When I hear, like, Interstate Love Song come on the radio, I'm turning that up. It's just. It's undeniable. And then, of course, him as a front man, just what he was on stage. You know, there's a lot of stuff on YouTube and I encourage you to check it out. And. And some of it's great. Some of it is not great, and a lot of it is uneven. And I think, you know, when you're looking at the live stuff that's uneven out there on the Internet, the live performances from Stone Temple pil, what you're seeing is the effects of the drug use. And it's really sad because that guy, you know, he was still. I feel like, still forming as an artist, as all great artists do. It's an ongoing evolution, and he's just gone. Went too quick. And we didn't get to see what he was fully capable of. And that is a disgrace. 617-906-6638. Where does Scott Weiland stand for you guys in the pantheon? In the top of 90s frontmen with Eddie Vedder, with Kurt Cobain, with Lane Staley, with Chris Cornell, with whoever else you want to add to the mix. Let me know. How do you rate them? You can only. You only get five, and that's a lot. Five's a lot. Okay, I only listed, like, six there, so I may have already done the homework for you, but where does Scott fit in that list? Let me know. 617-906-6638 voicemail and text. Also this week, in addition to Scott Weiland, we have a rewind episode coming for you from the archive. This rewind episode is coming tomorrow. It's on MC5. This one, isn't that that old? We originally released it, like 10 months ago, but we're bubbling it back up here to the top of your feed to honor the life and legacy of Wayne Kramer. Brother Wayne, 1/2 of the MC5S2 guitar onslaught with Fred Sonic Smith. Brother Wayne, died last week at the age of 75 years old. Pancreatic cancer. It's sad. It's very sad. Wayne Kramer, of course, as I mentioned at the end, I think it's at the end of our episode. He established, with his wife and Billy Bragg, great musician Billy Bragg, he established a foundation, a nonprofit, called jail guitar doors USA, in 2009 to donate instruments to inmates and offer songwriting and music classes to prisoners in prison. Workshops for prisoners, music workshops for prisoners in prison. It's a big part of his legacy. I'm sure if you had the opportunity to ask him, he'd tell you that it was as big of a part as MC5, the incredible proto punk band that he was one of the leaders for. I'm sure he would tell you that that nonprofit, Jail Guitar Doors, was just as important to his legacy and his memory as was the music that he made with the MC5. And I encourage you to search them out. Donate to them if you're feeling so inclined. If you want to honor the legacy of Wayne Kramer and the MC5, great organization. And, you know, I'll just say this. First time I heard MC5, I literally could not believe what I was hearing. It had me worked up into a complete frenzy. I wanted to break things. I wanted to crash my car. You know, I was ready to go to jail. It was that. It was that over the top, energetic and exciting. And if you have not heard MC5, just, you know, just start at the beginning and just go from there and you will not be disappointed. And listen to our episode, all right? Because I feel like it does a damn good, damn good job of depicting who that band was in the historical context of the late 60s. 617-906-6638. You know, when it comes to proto punk bands, there's really, I guess, let me see, there's. There's MC5, stooges, of course, Velvet Underground. I throw the Sonics in there. And of those four, New York Dolls, five of those five proto punk bands, Sonics, New York Dolls, Velvet Underground, MC5, and the Stooges. How do you rate them? Who's number one in terms of influence on the punk scene? That came a couple years later in the form of the Ramones in the Clash and the Sex Pistols. If you're. If we're rating those proto punk bands, MC5, Stooges, Velvet Underground, New York Dolls and the. What is your list? What is your top five list? Who sits at the top? I want to know. 617-906-6638. I also want your top five 90s front men. You can hit me at this Graceland pod on Instagram, on X, on Facebook, on YouTube, on TikTok and Disgracelandpodgmail.com that's how you email me. I'm going to take a quick break. Come back in a flash. We'll do some emails, some text and some voicemails from you guys. Foreign.

I recently made a blues pilgrimage to Clarksdale, Mississippi with my fiance. She's not much of a blues fan and I wanted something to help her get a sense for why I'm so nuts about the genre. Searching for a good blues podcast we found your episode on Robert Johnson. We listened to it after dark on a long late night drive through the south, and by the end of the episode she got it. The enduring appeal of the blues had inspired me too. So much so that after our Clarksdale trip I started a substack page where I post original lyrics and articles about blues.

What's up? Jake Barry from the 904. Good episode on Wyland. Kind of made me sad. I'd seen that guy and STP several times, their phenomenal lives. Just. Yeah, because of the personal connection. Kind of sad to hear his backstory and all that, but it was stuff I, as a lifelong STP fan, stuff I'd never even knew or heard. So thank you for adding that, that new insight for me. Thank you, Jake. Thank you. Disgraceland out.

[Jake Brennan]

Bear, what's up, man? Thanks for the message. Appreciate you appreciate the fact that we were able to get a seasoned STP listener like yourself on the hook and keep you there for the entire episode with some new. Thanks for calling in and letting us know. Let's check out this voicemail from the 5, 7, 3.

[Listeners / Callers]

Hey everybody. I just wanted to go ahead and start off with saying the podcast is on fire. The Disgraceland. Thank you. Thank you. Moving forward, if you will, I wanted to go ahead and piggyback onto your Dimebag Darrell Grantera salute, man. I've called in with the story prior. Maybe it wasn't the right time, but this is legit shit, man. 14 years old. First concert of my life outside of the time I went to Ronnie Millsap with my mom at a amusement park. But that doesn't count. I was only five. The only one I ever bought tickets to, that is my first concert was a band called Skid Rub and they played 18 and life. And I knew what that shit was. It was all over mtv, right? Well, check it. The opening band is something called Pantera. And my buddy Jesse Lee decides that we will not be in the back of this venue. We will not be little boys held at the whims of the crowd. The kid gets me up to the front of the goddamn like we're at the barricade. We are right in front of Dimebag Darrell, baby. Dimebag Darrell sees two little guys and he proceeds to go to his keg beer area, which was apparently really close. And albeit this is late 80s, 89, I do believe I was 14 of 89. This is when Super Stoker Squirt Gun first started. And he would fill two barrels full of keg beer. It's these super stokers. And he would come up to us and just be like, hang in there, little dude. And he would unleash like a huge spray of beer on our faces from Dimebag Darrell. Beautiful, beautiful. Super Stoker and then he would just go play like, you know, the most amazing solo that you have ever heard. Like, I don't even know if I remember what Kid Rowe did that day. It was Dimebag. Hang in there, little dude. We love you, Disgraceland. I hope this makes the air, but if not, I get it.

[Jake Brennan]

All right, that was a long one, five seven three. But I played it because it was a good damn story and it really gets to the character of who Dimebag Daryl was. For those of you who don't know who Dimebag Daryl was, he was of course a guitar player for Pantera. We released our archive episode on Pantera a couple weeks ago and that, that story tracks, man. That tracks with everything we researched about Dime. I never met the man. I know a lot of you have. Just that's just seemed to be an incredible guy who's taken from us too soon. I really appreciate that story. Thank you so much. 617-906-6638 if you guys want to share any stories about any artists you've met, any artists you've had, any interactions with with any of the artists we've covered that you just have some sort of special connection to that you want to talk about with me, by all means, hit me up. We'll get into it. You don't have to have met them. It can be just any sort of. Any sort of, like I said, connection that you might have 724 writes in with this text hey Jake, it's Anthony. Heard the New Icons trailer and I'm excited to see where this goes with the new direction and more options for people to cover. Not sure if it'll be up your alley, but I've been going down the rabbit hole of the Heaven's Gate cult lately and their leaders. I was also showing my girlfri this YouTube who might just be the most documented person in the world and believe me, it's not normal stuff. Their moniker is Chris Chan and mate, it's a ride. Not sure I understand that moniker bit there. Anyway, excited for the new season. Super excited for the Lane Stanley episode. Hope it all goes well in later days. May Anthony yeah man, perhaps. Perhaps we'll get into the cult stuff. 530 writes in hey, it's now 2024. We need more punk and hardcore old and newer. Black Flag with Rollins against me. Where's the Modern Lovers episode? Evan Dando and the Lemonheads Mastodon? Good, good questions, good selections. All I really want to do the Henry Rollins episode. I really want to do the one about his buddy Joe. Is it Joe Hill who's murdered? But I don't know. Something just feels like Rollins car has covered it so intimately. Normally that's the type of stuff that draws me in, but there's something holding me back. Mastodon. I've met those guys. They won't remember this. Or maybe they will. They moved into the town I lived in in Clinton, Massachusetts, back when they were getting started. It's no stretch to say that me and my bandmates inadvertently kind of were responsible for this little hardcore mecca in our hometown of Clinton back in the 90s, late 90s. And yeah, it was, it was us. And we were put on shows there. We had a friend who was a big promoter and we, we opened for Fugazi there. Today is the Day ended up moving into town. Steve Austin from Today is the Day for those of you who know hardcore will know what I'm talking about. And I think Steve is what caused Mastodon to move into town for a brief period. They were recording with him all in our little, our little mill town of Clinton, Massachusetts. And I'm not sure what kind of episode we could do on Mastod, but I'm excited to check it out. 617-90-66638 Terry from the 313 writes in what's Good, Jake would love to hear you tell the tale of Soul Train creator, the legendary Don Cornelius, who killed himself. I did not know that. I didn't know Don Cornelius killed himself. That is, that's, that's kind of messed up. I wonder what that story is. Amanda writes in from the 765. Hey, you were asking for suggestions and I have one. John Wayne, thank you so much for doing such awesome podcasts. I'm a truck driver and you've kept me awake many nights with your entertaining content. Keep up the good work. You got it. Amanda, thanks for driving hard for us out there. We appreciate you, John Wayne. Perhaps. Perhaps. We'll see. 617-906-6638 Appreciate you guys. Hit me up on the voicemail, hit me up on the text.

The point is we've got like 50,000 followers on Instagram. That's not a lot. And we've got a lot of room to grow. And I can see we're growing every single day. But. But I just want you to know you're missing out. If you're not over there following us, you're missing out on a lot of content. Some of these stories you're gonna know.
