From an interview with Eric Kretz:

October 22, 2010

What?s in the future for STP?

Things are going really good. We still have a couple of months touring the album here in America. In December, we will be in South America. After all these years we have never been to Australia, so offers are coming in for Australia, New Zealand and Asia, and probably back to Europe. Then we will see. We?re maybe looking at putting out another record next year or touring some more and trying new ideas of how to present music, especially for downloading.

Good for them for sticking up for what they wanted. The album is definitely one of their best.

I agree really kicks ass 

[LongGoneDay]

I think I'd buy a ticket just to see STP play a set consisting of Dead & Bloated only, on repeat. One of my favorite live songs by any band.
Maybe throw Silvergun Superman in there too..

Pilots' frontman on a new flight path

March 18, 2011

Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland has dumped drugs in favour of touring.

By Craig Mathieson.

Scott Weiland doesn't want to talk about anything outside music. The Stone Temple Pilots frontman, who has spent much of the past 20 years fronting arena-sized rock bands and doing penance for problems raised by addiction issues, has delivered his fair share of public mea culpas in the past but midway through a South American tour, in the Peruvian capital of Lima, he's pulled down the shutters.

''The fans are unbelievable here,'' the 43-year-old vocalist says. ''You feel like you're the Beatles and you've just arrived in America for the first time. Their love for music is amazing. There are certain places here where you can go and check out the local culture, while in others you have to keep a lower profile.''

Keeping a low profile is not the norm for Weiland, who in the past has documented his own issues with narcotics and been the subject of public scrutiny stemming from various arrests, rehab stints and relapses. In 1998, he was in such bad shape that he considered Courtney Love one of the more responsible people in his life.

Aside from a few minor setbacks, which most recently saw Stone Temple Pilots cancel several US shows in September last year, Weiland has been clean - and creatively busy - since 2003. He cut two albums and toured extensively with several Guns N' Roses members in Velvet Revolver and then returned to Stone Temple Pilots in 2008, six years after the quartet originally split up, and stayed on the road.

Stone Temple Pilots broke through as part of the grunge scene in 1992 with their debut album, Core, and by the time they released their self-titled sixth album last year, they had amassed record sales of about 40 million units. But despite both eras of the band being successful, Weiland sees a great difference between the worlds Stone Temple Pilots played to then and now.

''Culture in the West in general in this digital age gives you everything you want without waiting,'' he says.

''There's not the same romance attached to it that it once had. That's one of the fortunate things and one of the unfortunate things from having had a long and successful career: I can remember the passion that made people buy records but now it's really all about people coming to shows.'' These days, Weiland's best friend on tour is his iPad, on which he watches sci-fi television shows such as Fringe and The Walking Dead and his main priority, when not throwing his rail-thin body around the stage, is getting sleep. He remains a natural showman, with a yen for glam-influenced theatrics and dapper suits, but he's well aware that middle age is looming.

''The way we play the shows now is more based on a vibe,'' Weiland says. ''We're still a rock band but we don't always go full tilt. That allows you to do it for a little bit longer and you can age gracefully. I don't want to be a middle-aged man still trying to fit into size-four women's clothes.''

He's also been digging through his old notebooks and boxes of personal memorabilia with a view towards penning a memoir, although it's unclear whether Weiland could remember all the twists and turns his life has taken during the past two decades. And even if he could, would he want to?

''It is intense,'' the twice-divorced father of two says. ''I have a hard time working on it on the road because when I'm not on stage I just want to rest - it's not like when I was in my 20s and 30s and it was rock'n'roll hell on wheels.''

As for Stone Temple Pilots, while acrimony ended the group once before, the current re-formation has been successful enough that various band members have hinted at making a seventh album, which would continue their transition from a crunching guitar band into a more eclectic studio outfit.

''The Beatles were the greatest band of all and they tried absolutely everything they could,'' Weiland says. ''Even Led Zeppelin, the greatest hard-rock band, mixed things up. They didn't just have one barn-burner after another. Those are bands worth taking a lesson from.''
