STP toppled such megabands as Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses on MTV and the Billboard charts. Lead singer Scott Weiland became an iconic front man in the tradition of Mick Jagger, David Bowie, and Robert Plant. Then, when STP imploded, it was Weiland who emerged as the emblem of rock star excess, with his well-publicized drug busts and trips to rehab.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeiland has since made a series of stunning comebacks, fronting the supergroup Velvet Revolver, releasing solo work, and reuniting with Stone Temple Pilots. He has prevailed as a loving, dedicated father, as well as a business-savvy artist whose well of creativity is far from empty. Not Dead \u0026amp; Not for Sale is a hard rock memoir to be reckoned with—a passionate, insightful, and at times humorous book that reads with extraordinary narrative force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditorial Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Fascinating . . . Weiland's story isn't over, but the four decades' worth of material he crams into 'Not Dead \u0026amp; Not for Sale' makes for a compelling and worthwhile read.\" — Associated Press\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott Weiland has been called \"the voice of an entire generation and one of the towering figures in the history of rock\" by Rolling Stone magazine.
