Scott Weiland says touring with other ex-druggies helps him

The Pulse of Radio reports: Velvet Revolver's Scott Weiland has done his fair share of drugs, eventually entering rehab back in 2003. Now out on tour and sharing the bill with Alice in Chains, Weiland is almost always surrounded by the party lifestyle. But he's also around other former drug addicts. Weiland tells The Pulse of Radio that it actually helps to be on the road with fellow ex-addicts. "The hardest part about being a drug addict is really not using, it's just the places that your head goes," he said. "It's the discomfort of our thoughts that we end up medicating. So to be able to, you know, have people to sort of talk to and stuff, it definitely helps out. And there's definitely a lot of ex-junkies and alcoholics and freaks out on this tour."

Weiland has a history of drug-related arrests dating back to the mid-1990s. Which lead me to make this concert review. I am glad to see that Scott was not on any substances at the time of his performance and that it was just an off early night.
