Noah Weiland has described a childhood shaped by his parents’ separation and his father’s absence—not simply by having a famous rock musician for a dad. In an interview reported by Yahoo Entertainment, Noah said he had been conditioned by people around him to hate Scott, but later came to believe his father was not responsible for all the chaos he experienced. His account is complicated and personal; it does not reduce their relationship to a single story.
What Noah Weiland has said about growing up with Scott
Noah Weiland is the son of Scott Weiland, the singer associated with Stone Temple Pilots. But the most revealing reported account of Noah’s childhood is about family life, not the band’s fame. Yahoo Entertainment, reporting on a Rolling Stone interview with Noah, quoted him saying: “I’ve always sort of been conditioned by my family and certain people around me to hate my father growing up.” Yahoo Entertainment’s report says his parents separated when Noah was seven and that Scott was largely absent.

Noah also described a shift in how he understood what had happened: he came to believe his father was not at fault for the chaos Noah experienced. That is Noah’s retrospective account, not a definitive explanation of Scott’s intentions or every part of their family history.
Scott Weiland’s public identity—and the limits of that context
For many listeners, Scott’s best-known public role was as the frontman of Stone Temple Pilots. A 1998 Los Angeles Times interview places him in the band’s era of albums such as Core and Purple, while also discussing his solo album 12 Bar Blues. That background helps explain the shorthand in the title, “a Stone Temple Pilots dad”; it does not, by itself, tell us what Noah’s home life was like. The Los Angeles Times interview also records Scott reflecting on learning from mistakes, but that general comment should not be read as a statement about fatherhood.
#1 Best Overall
- Stone Temple Pilots roared on to the scene 25 years ago with their raucous debut Core. A breakout success, the album peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts, dominated radio waves with hits like "Sex Type Thing" and "Wicked Garden," and has been certified 8x Platinum by the RIAA. The band also took home the 1994 Grammy® Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for their smash single "Plush." This is a single disc remaster of the original album.
Noah’s music gives the relationship another dimension
Noah has pursued music in his own right. A 2024 announcement described his single “2 NIGHTS” as combining alternative pop and hyperpop elements and said he began releasing music in 2020. It framed his work in its own contemporary terms rather than as a continuation of his father’s band. The announcement does not establish a current release schedule.
“Time Will Tell” uses an older Scott Weiland vocal
In 2024, Noah released “Time Will Tell,” built from an older demo that included his father’s vocals. Noah described the idea as updating the song as though Scott were still alive and joining one of Noah’s tracks. The release connects their work directly, but it remains Noah’s later production around archival vocals—not a new performance recorded by Scott. Noah’s account of the circumstances around the demo included an allegation of blackmail; that allegation should not be treated as independently established fact. Rolling Stone’s report on the song describes the project and Noah’s account.

What later interviews add
A podcast episode listing dated June 23, 2025, summarizes a conversation about Noah losing his father at 15, addiction and recovery, his removal from Suspect208, finding his own musical voice, and becoming a father. Those subjects suggest how he has discussed his life beyond childhood, but the listing is a summary, not a transcript; it cannot support detailed quotations or a fuller timeline on its own. The episode listing identifies the topics without providing a verbatim account.

Noah’s account offers a personal view of growing up in the shadow of a famous musician: family separation, his father’s absence, other people’s influence on how he viewed Scott, and a later reassessment. His music, including “Time Will Tell,” shows one way he has engaged with his father’s legacy. The available reporting does not provide a complete first-person chronology of their relationship, so it is more accurate to leave the unresolved parts unresolved than to turn a partial account into a definitive biography.
