Mark Tremonti is stopping by our studios this morning, but yesterday on a visit to Loudwire, he told them Creed singer Scott Stapp, who made headlines last November by claiming he was broke and living in his car after all his money had been taken by either his wife or some sort of shadowy conspiracy, recently completed a 90-day stint in rehab. Tremonti revealed, “Thank God he got through it all and his family got him into treatment. I think he went through a 90-day program. I know he went to get help and now he’s out of the treatment, so hopefully he stays sober.” Mark added, “Family is the most important thing. You’ve just got to stay sober and clean and provide for your family and be there for your kids. For me, that’s what would always keep me out of trouble.” The whole drama began last November when Stapp posted several videos online in which he claimed to be broke, nearly homeless and under “attack” from unnamed enemies who had wiped out his bank accounts and possibly set the IRS on him. It later turned out Scott’s wife, Jaclyn, had filed for divorce, claiming her husband had left their home in early October and had been on a drug bender since then. Stapp was placed in a three-day psychiatric hold at one point, with Jaclyn trying to get him into a 60-day one. She claimed his drug use has made him paranoid, delusional and dangerous to himself and his family. Stapp lost custody of his three children during this period, while also missing a court hearing and allegedly threatening to kill President Obama. News about Stapp trailed off in mid-December, but Tremonti’s remarks indicated the singer was at the very least attempting to get his life back on track. Wonder if Creed plans to make music? I will have to ask Mark that today! Mark has just released the first single, “Another Heart,” from his second solo album, Cauterize. The album is due Jun 09 and it’s freakin’ amazing! I’ve been listening to an advance of it and it has blown me away how they’ve stepped up the game, if that was even possible! It’s nice and crunchy and with the addition of Wolfgang Van Halen, has taken the sound to a whole new level. Mark’s vocals are strong and confident. Garrett Whitlock’s drumming is outstanding and Eric Friedman guitars are blazing! I can’t say enough about this record! The band will be touring soon and have dates beginning with a ton of radio festivals April 25th. Starting May 03, they are doing shows with Seether…..I saw this new band out of Michigan last night called I Prevail. Heard of them? They caught the attention of a prominent Detroit-based manager who got a prompt on his cell phone to check out a band who covered Taylor Swift‘s “Blank Spaces.” (Which has now hit something like 7.5 MILLION views on YouTube.) Well, they played a small club show last night with a full on mosh pit here in NYC and blew me away! Are they the next big thing? Guess we’ll have to wait ‘n see! They’re stopping by the studios today. They’ve already presented Ms Swift with a check for $100,000 for the use of the song on the sale of the single! Crazy! Check out their ep Heart Vs Mind.…Oh, I see Scott Weiland has apologized to fans. Hmm, is it a little too late, I wonder? He’s owning up to his rude behavior at a recent meet-and-greet in Boston. According to Alternative Nation, Weiland posted a statement on Facebook in which he wrote, “I would like to make a sincere apology to the fans that were at the meet and greet in Boston. I’m embarrassed by my behavior and some of the things that I said. Fans don’t deserve that. Without our fans and supporters, we would not be able to do what we’re doing. I put my all into the show that night and honestly was just beyond exhausted . . . either way, I acted like a total a****le and for that I’m truly sorry.” Fans of Weiland wrote online that they were left “disgusted” and “disappointed” after the former Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer held a VIP meet-and-greet session at the Brighton Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. Three different fans posted their descriptions of the event at a Stone Temple Pilots fan forum, including one fan who claimed that Weiland said to him, “Let’s suck a d**k!” One fan wrote when it was his turn to meet Weiland and take a picture with him, “Scott didn’t even look at me when I was talking to him, he put his arm around me and literally said ‘Lets get this s**t done with.’” Another fan, to whom Weiland allegedly uttered ‘Let’s suck a d**k,’ said the singer was “definitely drunk and ready to get outta there.” Scott, when will you learn?…..This is exciting! Fox TV is getting ready to open up a new 6-episode season of The X-Files! This reunites David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Mulder and Scully with series creator Chris Carter! The series debuted back in 1993 and ran for 13 seasons!…..Happy 33rd today to racer Danica Patrick. Happy 68th to Elton John and Happy 73rd to The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin!
