Our friends from Puddle Of Mudd have fallen foul of the custodians of the Elvis homestead at Graceland. The band inadvertently broke some rules on their visit to the shrine of Elvis on last Monday. Front man Wesley Scantlin was suffering from the stifling Memphis heat and decided that a quick dip in Elvis’s private pool was just what he needed. Alas the only picture of the event was snapped using a less than quality camera, but it is still worth publishing. We are not sure if Wesley is wearing his ‘Tighty Whities’, or he was ‘Full Monty’ for this event.
The security personnel took a dim view of Wesleys escapade, not only was Wesley assisted out of the pool, and escorted off the property, he now faces a lifetime ban from Graceland! A shocked Wesley explained “I just wanted to take a dip!” When one considers the scentric behavior that Elvis was known for, you would think that the Graceland ‘Rent A Cops’ would have shown more understanding and compassion’
Unfortunately the Graceland staff have no sense of humor, and obviously they had no idea about who they were escorting off the property!
Puddle of Mudd are about to release their next album Famous on October 9th. You can get a sneak listen to their track Psycho here. Incidentally I suspect that Famous is going to do well, grab it quick. You can pre-order Famous.

Disrespectful and classless if you ask me, the pool is next to the man’s grave afterall, there is no humor in that my friend. Besides, who takes a swim without being invited.
AMEN TO ABOVE…CRASS OF HIM….
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ARRESTED…NOT
JUST ESCORTED OFF THE PROPERTY…
I’M SURE THERE WERE HOARDS OF OTHER TOURISTS
PRESENT..ALWAYS ARE…DISRESPECTFUL TO THEM AS WELL…
“DID NOT KNOW WHO THEY WERE”???
NOW THAT IS FUNNY!! WHO ARE THEY??
Didn’t know who they were dealing with? Who the hell is
Wes scantin???? This is private property of the most
famous rock star ever. He should have been arrested.
I think that it is ridiculous that Wes would be banned from Graceland for just wanting to cool off in the pool water for a bit! I know Wes & POM guys get quite a work-out when they give an awesome onstage performance & it has been so freakin’ HOT these late summer days! Anyway, I think Elvis would have approved of him cooling off in his pool & I’m sure Wes would not damage anything at all.
Puddle of Mudd ROCKS & can’t wait to buy their new CD! Also, Wes is the sexiest guy who I kissed on his cheek before & he is so nice & personable to his fans! SWEET!
