If that's the case, why do we have late night talk shows? How do you promote a movie in a brief 5 minute interview with Leno when they talk about personal life for 90% of the interview? He's making appearances to get his name out there so people become aware he has a record out. It's a promotions game. The point is to get his name out there. If he wants to make himself look like an ass, hey so be it. Doesn't bother me one bit.

If he didn't go on the show to promote his album, then he wouldn't have been scheduled to be on the show. Notice how many times Steve Schrippa (sp?) mentioned Stapp's new album, naming it by name? The whole point of having guests on is to promote whatever they're doing.

Exactly. Shrippa kept mentioning it and Stapp seemed to have very little interest in talking about it. Bizarre.

True, and he also had very little interest talking about his now, fiance. Don't get me wrong, but wouldn't u been excited to talk about both (album and fiance), drunk or not.

i think the interesting thing here is that, given that the amount of media coverage bands back in the '60s & '70s received in comparison to the amount given today, you wonder how the fans really would have thought about prolly any number of musicians. it's kind of like FDR: the man had polio & was in a wheelchair, but b/c even radio hardly covered the presidential races, no one knew. i could almost guarantee that, if FDR were subjected to today's races, he would get clobbered simply because people don't really want to elect someone so sickly.

Most celebrities prefer not to talk about their significant others.

That's true 2. If he mentions her name, she'll probably get more Publicity now that everyone heard about what Scott has done lol. :D She'll be on google and everything.

yea and most if not all "PEOPLE" prefer to not have a fight on the night of their engagement and will avoid one at all costs.

True. That's supposed to be one of the most exciting days of his and her life, and he goes and does that. I would of been cursing him out all the way home.

actually ...acting as a child... :eek:

Yeah... and most people with decency don't accuse people of certain actions without having proof.

Still needing proof? No matter WHo started the fight..all that matter is Stapp was involved in it...

PS: You are so intelligent Chase that I find weird you are still defending Stapp...

In America, you're innocent until proving guilty. The director of security in that hotel stated that 311 instigated the fight. If that's the case... Stapp defended himself. I would defend anyone who was being blamed for something by people who have no proof. That's unfair.

Not only in america, but in any civilized country ...but you really feel like hes being innocent? why he didnt say anything? whay he didnt try to tell his side of the story? why he took so much time for doing this? Why WU didnt say anything to defend him ?

This guy has antecedents, Chase. :rolleyes:

No, actually in Britain... I believe you're guilty until proven innocent. Maybe Wind Up didn't want Stapp to get into a war of words with 311. There's unforeseen circumstances that surround a lot of incidents. Both of us don't know the circumstances that surround this one.

If you were an artist and someone said you were involved in a fight that you really werent waht would you do? would you keep quiet ? even if this silence would ruin your career?

and thanks for the law's information... ;)
