[C] [A]
[C] It's really peculiar the way things went down with me and Scott [Eb] because I was in Finland
doing a Rada record thing for a magazine one time and they'd given [N] us the Core record to review.
And I was listening to it and I thought, [C] either this is a really bad joke or these guys are
going to be massive because they've got a sound that's very similar to a lot of the
great bands that are in the alternative scene right now.
But I don't know if it's a parody or if it's the real deal.
And the more I listened to it, the more I really grew to respect his vocals and I thought
that Robert, his playing was really great too.
So they were called Mighty Joe Young at the time.
And I talked to our manager and I said, I want to take these guys out.
And the manager said, well, you know, people just aren't digging on them.
And I was like, I don't care.
I want to take them out.
So in 1992, in the Countdown to Extinction tour, we took Stone Temple Pilots out and
they were doing pretty good.
And there was [D] something that was just off a little bit.
And I said, hey, do you guys mind if I help you with your set list?
And we talked a little bit about rearranging the songs and climaxing and settling down
into a [N] groove in the middle.
And there was one part that was really funny.
They have an instrumental song and Scott just stands out there on stage.
And I said, so what's this song?
I didn't know full well what it was.
And he goes, well, it's an instrumental.
And I said, and?
Well, why are you standing out there?
I said, go off to the side of the stage.
And I told him the song where he does the, I think, Cracker Man, I don't know, with
the bullhorn thing.
Use that as your opener because it's kind of cheeky and it's a cool way to kind of start the set.
And they took off after that.
Their set list was great.
The pulse, the timing and everything was perfect.
And the thing that I regret was at the end of the tour, I told him, I said, look, Scotty,
you're going to be huge.
You're going to have money.
You're going to have drugs.
You're going to have pussy.
And it's going to be everywhere.
And I said, if you do anything, stay away from heroin.
And I probably should have said, do as much as you can, because he did the exact opposite.
And the sad thing is that anybody that knows Scott or that was around him was aware of
what was going on.
And just like the guy that was in Milli Vanilli, [C] they took him out of rehab and put him on the road.
And he wasn't [E] even done with the rehabilitation process.
He died.
No [C] song, no performance, no amount of money is worth human life.
And [N] I think that [Ab] the music industry suffered a tragic loss.
But as [C] much as the onus is on Scott for doing it, there are other people that are responsible for that.
