Nobody got hurt. It was a cup of water! I don't care about Dallas. Who gives a crap? That was like, what? Six months ago? Unless you want to dwell on it, sweetie.
Puddle of Mudd, of which Scantlin is, and has always been, the only real member, have attracted bad publicity and rancor since their earliest days in Kansas City, Mo. The track harks back to their triple platinum, major label debut, "Come Clean. Scantlin will spend the next few months recording and touring and trying to stay out of trouble.
He spends a lot of his off hours watching the true crime channel Investigation Discovery, because lots of people die on the ID Network, and, unlike in real life, justice is usually meted out to those who deserve it.
Also, he mentions casually, "someone tried to poison me a long time ago. That person will remain nameless. The venue claimed to be trying to negotiate the costs of the shows with the band's management and agents, possibly to pay part of the ticket price back to the concertgoers. Search term. Billboard Pro Subscribe Sign In. Top Artists. Top Charts. Hot Songs. Somehow, things managed to get even more embarrassing after that: Instead of quickly skulking away in shame, the lone, shirtless singer remained onstage, sitting on a chair and soaking in the fury and disbelief of the strong audience.
If Elvis Presley is the ultimate symbol of rock 'n' roll, then getting banned from his beloved Graceland must be the equivalent of being relegated to playing pan flute in a third-rate folk band. As Music News and the Memphis Flyer report, Puddle of Mudd managed this less than admirable feat in when they were gearing up for the release of their Famous album and decided to take a tour of Graceland.
Partway through the tour, lead singer Wes Scantlin saw the King's swimming pool and promptly cannonballed into the water. As common sense should probably have told Scantlin, the pool was extremely out of bounds for visitors. Security guards immediately removed Scantlin from the premises, and the musician picked up a cool lifetime ban to Graceland for his troubles.
Unfortunately, the story doesn't tell how the rest of the tour went for the other Puddle of Mudd members. Maybe the poor guys were either thrown out with their frontman When it comes to potential next door neighbors, rock stars are probably not too high on most people's wish list.
As Loudwire attests, Wes Scantlin proved in that he ranks particularly high on the " neighbors from hell " list when he physically attacked a Los Angeles neighbor's house because it was supposedly infringing on his own. That wasn't a typo, by the way. He didn't attack the person living next door — he specifically assaulted the building itself. Armed with a buzz saw and a sledgehammer, the Puddle of Mudd frontman entered the neighbor's patio and started destroying property.
We don't know precisely what he did, but it allegedly included at least hitting a brick wall with the sledgehammer and was more than enough for the police to arrest him for felony vandalism.
When TMZ later caught Scantlin leaving the police station, the singer claimed that his actions were merely a retaliation, and his neighbor with whom he had allegedly been feuding for a while had vandalized his house first. A wealthy rock singer might be able to live his life exempt from many of the more mundane adult responsibilities, but there's one liability even stars can't escape: taxes. As Loudwire notes, this significant chunk of back taxes was met with a "the matter is being taken care of" comment by the singer's representatives, so it's possible this particular trouble was merely an honest oversight on the vocalist's part.
Still, a hefty sum of unpaid taxes and the IRS peering over his shoulder must have been the cherry on the awfulness cake that the year had prepared for Scantlin. After all, it was the same year the singer went through a divorce, and his guitarist decided to quit the band. Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin has had a tumultuous relationship with authorities, and one of the most serious incidents that put him at odds with the law was also arguably the saddest for fans of good, decent human behavior.
As Billboard reports, an otherwise normal Monday afternoon in saw Scantlin getting arrested for domestic abuse in West Hollywood after he had allegedly started dragging his ex-wife and pulling her by the arm or possibly shirt.
The vocalist appears to have been pretty unapologetic at the scene, and sources said he got "very mouthy" with the officials. So is the main benefit for you making music these days to exorcise all these demons?
I missed a soccer practice and a soccer game and the coach kicked me off the football team in front of the entire team and it broke my heart.
So I took her advice and I started being a songwriter when I was 12 years old. Most parents would probably warn their kids off pursuing a career in rock music.
