Scott's speech began during a fan chat of "f*** you, Chester", a reference to Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, who joined Stone Temple Pilots earlier this year amid lawsuits by both Weiland and his former band.

"It's just a big 'ol planet, a big 'ol universe and in a big circle, it all works out," began Weiland in Philadelphia. "Anyway� Actually, Chester has his own band that makes a lot of money. I'm not really quite sure why he joined a band who is actually nameless."
