A never before seen photo from Kurt Cobain and Nirvana’s show in Los Angeles at Raji’s on February 15, 1990 has surfaced. Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante is visible in the photo in the audience, while late Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland may be in the background of the photo, as he exclusively told Alternative Nation just a few weeks before his death in late 2015 that he was in attendance at the show, and that it was the first time he saw Nirvana live. Former Creed frontman Scott Stapp detailed a ‘terrifying’ phone call about Scott Weiland last week.

Former Mudhoney manager Bob Whittaker said that Cobain asked Weiland why he ripped him off backstage at Stone Temple Pilots’ show at Seattle Arena on July 8, 1993.

“I remember in Seattle – Butthole Surfers opened for them? We were back stage to say hi to the band after the show = Gibby , King Coffee ETC – I was goofing around with Kurt – he jumped on my back and I took him into the #sonetemplepilots dressingroom. Security was going to toss us out – but Scott saw Kurt and rescued us.

I set Kurt down then Scott and Kurt talked at the deli tray table – a bit awkward at first – Kurt said ‘people tell me you sound like #Nirvana . You must owe me some publishing money then.’ Scott didn’t miss a beat and pulled out a crumpled sweaty $1 bill from his pocket and gave it to Kurt. Kurt took it, We all laughed and left. It was fun funny and cute. ❤️ #inventinggrunge ✔️ Life is short – everyone be nice and do good work while we are here -B.” Dave Grohl reacted to Kurt Cobain’s disturbing final song lyrics last week.

DSony/ATV Music Publishing recently entered a worldwide deal to represent the Scott Weiland’s song catalog as frontman of Stone Temple Pilots.

A co-founder of the ’90s rock band, Weiland served as co-writer and frontman for their first six albums — beginning with Core in 1992, which featured such hits as “Plush” and “Sex Type Thing,” and second album Purple in 1994, which topped the Billboard 200 albums chart and included standouts “Vasoline” and “Interstate Love Song.”

“The Weiland family is thrilled to partner with Sony/ATV”, Weiland’s second wife Mary said. “We look forward to opportunities that will introduce the Stone Temple Pilots catalogue to a new generation”.

“We are excited to be the home of such a classic and prestigious body of work,” said Sony/ATV chairman and CEO Jon Platt, “that we are honored to bring to a wider audience.”

“Scott Weiland was one of the most iconic frontmen of his generation and with Stone Temple Pilots created a legacy of timeless songs that Sony/ATV is now privileged to represent,” added Sony/ATV president and global chief marketing officer Brian Monaco. “I am thrilled about the licensing opportunities that we can create from this incredible catalog.” Scott Weiland’s marriage prenup details were revealed a couple of weeks ago.
