Shadow, if you know something we don't, please enlighten us, or don't post such statements as fact. Thanks. Given that last article, the questions about his solo work are bound to arise.

as kerri said you may want to say why you are so confident about that. if one of his better friends in jeff martin (and band-mate of sorts) saids such things in public, i am not going to ignore that and pretend everything is just fine.

me too...I hope his solo album come soon...This hiatus is killing my hopes.

Exactly Bear, now we know it's not just a conspiracy among his former band members to bring him down. He seems to be bringing himself down all by himself.

And Shadow, I agree with Kerri. If you've got something concrete, please share. Otherwise, don't post inuendo.

it was stupid to allege that his former bandmates were trying to bring his down in the first place. why would they do such a thing? they wouldn't have left if there wasen't a reason to and they have their own lives and careers to look after without trying to harm someone elses, particulary someone who was at one stage on of their best friends in life.

anyhow its a shame the project with the tea party has ended, but i hope scott can get back on track and give us a great album next year.

Yeah, I just hope this doesn't push back the solo stuff too far. I'm jonesin' to hear something from the man.

Well I have not been on this board since it first started and it was a fun place to be back then!! I just got a new computer so I am just checking things out...a lot of good reading on here but I felt the need to say something. I have been involved in the music industry all of my life and ya know...SO what if Scott has issues, or demons or baggage?? I do not know of too many people who don't have some kind of issues in there life ya know?? He is a human being. I was Jack Russell's (great white) personal assistant for years and it makes me sad for Scott. I am also a Christian and that is not an easy walk and it has a lot of battles that go with it. I don't want anyone here to get mad at me. I just think he is human like the rest of us.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!!

My take on the article was that according to The Tea Party guys is that Stapp doesn't have the "normal baggage" that most people have, but his is much worse. They would rather further their careers without bringing in all that extra stuff surrounded with Stapp. Again, that is just my interpretation of it.

Livetodream, yes, people do indeed have issues, and no one was implying the man wasn't human. I'm just bummed that things with the Tea Party didn't work out, and I hope this doesn't delay his solo release.

now he's had tremonti and jeff martin walk away does he want any other gun guitarists and songwriters to come and go? please scott the music world needs you out there with that quality behind you.
