Reunited rockers promise to play the hits

Published: April 18, 2008 at 3:28 PM

LOS ANGELES, April 18 (UPI) -- Reunited U.S. rockers Stone Temple Pilots plan crowd-pleasing shows for their upcoming tour.

"I think we could've done a new record or new songs," says bassist Robert DeLeo, "but how many times do you go to a show and you want to hear the songs you're familiar with, and then when that new song comes up, that's when you go grab a beer.

"I think new material will come probably after this tour, but I think we're mostly getting back to the stuff we know and the things that got us together in the first place."

STP has been apart for 10 years, while singer Scott Weiland has fronted the band Velvet Revolver and DeLeo and his brother, guitarist Dean DeLeo, have produced other acts.

The STP reunion tour kicks off May 17 at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, and is due to wrap up at the end of August, after which Robert DeLeo thinks the quartet will concentrate on new material.

According to this, the possibility of opening for Zeppelin was a major reason for STP getting back together....seems fishy to me, but what the hell, right?

Ah, that's why the guy from No Doubt was on with him.  That explains it.  I must've missed that part.  I was thinking maybe a reunited No Doubt was gonna team up with STP for the upcoming tour.  That'd be a big show. More likely I'd say than STP opening for Zeppelin.

[Jizzo]

no doubt with STP would be amazing

Will STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Stay Together This Time? - Apr. 28, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports: STONE TEMPLE PILOTS will tour for the first time since 2002 this spring and summer, beginning next month, with tentative plans to record a new album later this year. But since the group broke up under less than amicable circumstances six years ago, what's to stop that from happening again? Bassist Robert DeLeo told The Pulse of Radio he's not sure he has the answer. "I wish there was a recipe or an anecdote for that, but unfortunately, you know, there's four different people, and over the years, we've gone our separate ways," he said. "I don't think my life reflects Scott's [Weiland, vocals] life. We're different. You know, we're all in our 40s now, and to have that opportunity for this to come back around, I feel really, really fortunate. I'm really, really humbled by it."

SCOTT WEILAND Says Upcoming Solo Record Will Be 'Double Album' - Apr. 30, 2008

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland has posted the following message on his MySpace page:

"I felt the need to check in and let everyone know what the latest and greatest is...as you know, my original band, STP, have reunited and are gearing up for our 4 month tour of the U.S. this summer. I'm really excited to be back in cohoots with my old buddies and share that tingly feeling when we perform.

"I've been crazy busy since coming off tour and never get the chance to sleep in anymore! I have been working on my solo record, which will be a double album due for a November release. It's gonna be awesome, with many different musical influences like rock, punk, R&B as well as an eclectic blend that we've come up with over the years. Can't wait for everyone to hear it. I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography along with famed writer David Ritz, also due out toward the end of the year. It will be a collection of stories, experiences and lessons throughout my life. Definitely a good read.

"Well, I gotta hit the studio now. Ill do my best to check in every now and then. I want you to know, I ALWAYS appreciate the love and support and am excited to give you all a great tour."

wow i completely forgot about the kimmel performance!! thanks!!!

[Wheres Izzy]

I thought they sounded real good in those clips. Scott just makes more sense with STP. They still seem to have pretty good chemistry. I thought the Deleo's sounded real good, and Scott seemed to have more of that Mid nineties voice than he has in recent years, might just be the material tho. Trippin on a hole is one of my favorite STP songs, I was glad to see they went with that.

ive never been a huge fan of Scott's live voice. I think its weak and nasally live
