I’m feeling a little hungover from a Guns N’ Roses binge this week, so let’s have a quick look at what else is going on in the music world.
Scott Weiland Release Date For New Solo Album
The STP frontman has announced the release date for his upcoming solo album, which will follow his first solo album, 1998’s 12 Bar Blues. The still untitled album will hit shelves on October 7 through Weiland’s own label, Softdrive Records.
STP Members Sued by Atlantic Records
Yesterday, June 12, STP members Scott Weiland and Eric Kretz were sued by their label Atlantic Records for trying to prematurely end their contract.
The two members have been accused of no longer participating in the band’s current contract with Atlantic, unless some changes were made. The other two members of the band, Rob and Dean DeLeo, have already been released by Atlantic.
STP Reunion Already in Trouble?
This past weekend STP continued their reunion tour with shows in Holmdel, NJ and Mansfield, MA.
The show in Holmdel, which was at PNC Bank Arts Center on Saturday for K-ROCK’s Return of the Rock show, has left some folks questioning Scott Weiland’s state of mind, or his battle with addiction.
Stone Temple Pilots Reunion in Full Blast
I’m sure that last week STP fans held their breath, while critics laughed, when Scott Weiland was once again sent to jail. However, he was released within the day, and fans could let out a huge sigh of relief knowing that the tour would go on.

Stone Temple Pilots - ‘Tiny Music’…revisited
Since we already mentioned STP today, let’s keep the theme going.
I already did a post on Tiny Music last summer, but it’s still my favorite STP album (and their best). Besides, this beautiful weather just tells me that it’s time to bring this album back by blasting it for all to hear.
STP to Release DVD
Stone Temple Pilots are apparently going to release a DVD of their private Houdini estate performance from April 7, where they also announced a massive 65 date tour.
There’s no other info at this time, but be sure to check out the band on May 1 when they appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
FYI: Stone Temple Pilots
I’m bringing back the FYI on STP again, because they’re everywhere right now, because of their reunion and all.
Enjoy the video for “Hello, It’s Late”, which was a gem from their last album, 2001’s Shangri-La-Dee-Da.
STP’s Return
Last night STP officially returned!
The band performed a 30 minute intimate gig for lucky contestant winners and industry folks at the Harry Houdini Estate in L.A.
The show was used as a platform to announce the huge 65 date tour for this summer and fall. Also, guitarist Dean DeLeo told the crowd that the band would be working on a new album after the tour.
