Re: The STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Thread
The question is - will Scott destroy STP a 2nd time?
His behavior recently in VR has been shocking (The missed plane, 2 Australian Tours Cancelled, The on-stage outbursts, being arrested and back in trouble with the law).
Question is...has he gone back to drugs and old ways due to unhappiness in VR. In which case he'll be fine how and STP will flourish, OR does he have other personal problems and issues...which have fucked up one band...and may now be imported to a 2nd band (especially one that already broke up due to his drug problems in the past - how much patinece will they have?)
Re: The STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Thread
After a five-year breakup and nearly eight-year absence from the concert scene, Stone Temple Pilots will reunite for a North American tour.
On Monday, Singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz revealed the details of their 65-city tour, set to begin May 17 in Columbus, Ohio.
"The story's not finished," Weiland told The Associated Press. "There's more to be revealed and more to be told."
DeLeo said the band plans to record a new album after the tour which is set to wrap in November.
Formed in 1992, the band has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
The Grammy-winning rockers celebrated their announcement with a private show in the Hollywood Hills.
They're scheduled to make their first national television appearance May 1 on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Weiland, 40, has been dogged by drug problems since the band's early days. His arrests for drug possession and stints in rehab led the group to cancel tour dates and contributed to their breakup. Weiland pleaded not guilty last month to charges of driving under the influence of drugs stemming from a November car crash.
After Stone Temple Pilots' split, Weiland formed the rock group Velvet Revolver. On April 1, his bandmates '” Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner '” announced that Weiland was no longer part of the group.
"Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on," Slash said in a statement.
Two days later, Stone Temple Pilots announced their reunion.

Re: The STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Thread
I think they sound fairly good.
It would be nice if Scott could get back to his "old" voice - at least some of it.
