2. Accidental?

Tha's like "Oh my penis just happened to be out of my underwear when I tripped and fell onto that sleeping woman and left semen inside her."

Well, maybe it's not that bad, at least he just did it to himself.

It is sad, but it is not accidental.

5. The 'accidental' part...

...applies to the death. Unless he planned to die while getting high, his death was accidental. Otherwise, it would have been labeled a suicide.

TYY

6. Relating rape to a drug overdose? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Seriously.

11. It fits well within the parameters of the word, 'accident.'

It fits well within the parameters of the word, 'accident.' I've noticed the same rejection of uniform and standard definitions by those who deny the existence of gun accidents, also.

"...an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss; casualty; mishap"

3. Weiland was a legendary drug user since forever.

It wasn't if but when he'd go to far.

10. So, do you think he intentionally overdosed? Or was this homicide?

13. I'm guessing it has to do with intention

It wasn't suicide

9. He died in bed while on tour.

This should come as a shock to just about no one.

12. Amazingly, Keith Richards is still alive. Well preserved.

14. I heard stories from people who worked with Velvet Revolver

The security operation required to keep those guys alive and out of jail was a multi-million dollar 24/7 affair.

16. Are you familiar with the story behind G 'n' R's "Spaghetti Incident" album title?

It's an in-joke with the band, but the root of it is that drummer Steven Adler used to keep his massive cocaine stash in the refrigerator and referred to it as his "spaghetti."

I loved the first VR album...the second was OK, but I thought a bit weaker. Biggest impression was "They traded Axl for THIS GUY?" Because even thought I was a fan of STP, I figured Scott had the potential to dwarf him in the "trouble" department.

15. Not a surprise, but you'd think once you get into your (late) forties, you'd

have successfully straightened yourself out--he'd long passed the mid-20's danger point where they usually seem to OD or otherwise do themselves in. Shame, such a great voice.
