Stone Temple Pilots

We got there as soon as the gates opened and with pit tickts we made it to the front immediately and took our place front and center at the rail. I was able to grab one beer on the way and still secure a spot right at the front. The opening act was called Tab the band. I had never heard of them before but they have a CD out and played a pretty respectable 5 song set. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club followed with a set similar to the one they did at Virgin Mobile Fest last w... MORE

Well, it's been a bit since this transpired, but I figure I'll share anyway. May in Indianapolis can only really mean one thing. It's time for the Indy 500 again. Every year, the track hosts a concert for Carb Day. Usually, it's Kid Rock or some nu metal band that really doesn't do much for me. This year was different though. Stone Temple Pilots were headlining the concert, and I thought that a day of sunshine, a little racing and a huge group of race fans would be t... MORE

As previously reported Stone Temple Pilots reunited with a private seven-song show in Los Angeles last month, their official return to the stage was last night (Saturday, May 17) in front of tens of thousands when they headlined the first day of the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio. Also performing at the event on Saturday were Finger Eleven, Shinedown, Killswitch Engage, Serj Tankian, Staind, Disturbed, Ashes Divide, Airborne, Red, 10 Years, Theroy Of A... MORE

Scott Weiland Photo: Kathy G This is a week late, but I had to post. Last Sunday, I went to the WBCN River Rave here in Boston. For those that are not from here, WBCN is a local rock station that hosts several top bands at a festival-like concert each year. Many of us in Boston see it as a "first concert of summer" type show, whether you go or not. This year, it was announced that Stone Temple Pilots would be playing. If you don’t know about STP and the illustrious S... MORE

Despite the fact the Stone Temple Pilots will reunite and play, the first time in seven years, this summer at the Rock on the Range festival, frontman Scott Weiland has entered rehab for the ...okay we lost count...time. Weiland reportedly checked himself into Velvet Revolver Wednesday (Feb. 6) in Los Angeles, Weiland checked into an undisclosed rehab facility after February 6th's gig with Velvet Revolver in Los Angeles. Weiland is expected to be better in time for the R... MORE

It's official: Stone Temple Pilots are back. As previously reported the group certified their reunion and upcoming tour at the former Los Angeles mansion of legendary magician Harry Houdini.(VIDEO BELOW) Since then, the group has confirmed a staggering 65-city North American tour, which starts May 17. "The story's not finished ... there's more to be revealed and more to be told," explained Weiland. Also, As previously reported, Velvet Revolver, the super-... MORE

The reunited original members of Stone Temple Pilots -- frontman Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz -- played a 30-minute set yesterday, certifying their reunion and upcoming tour, at the former Los Angeles mansion of legendary magician Harry Houdini. Weiland, who last week pulled a Houdini act disappearing from the ranks of Velvet Revolver, announced to the crowd that the Stone Temple Pilots were back and "going on tour this... MORE

Sorry Seattle but the line-up for this year's Bumbershoot is click here for sound effect. On the heels of their reunion announcement the Stone Temple Pilots, along with Beck (thanks, but I'll be checking him out at San Fransisco's Outside Lands Festival where fricken' RADIOHEAD is also playing) will headline the 3-day urban Labor Day Weekend festival. Others on the under-par August 30th - September 1st Bumbershoot line-up include Lucinda Williams, Neko Case, Jakob Dylan,... MORE

Scott Weiland has until May 28th to serve an eight day jail sentence for driving under the influence back in 2007. Weiland, however, is scheduled to kick off the highly publicized Stone Temple Pilots reunion tour on May 17th in Columbus, Ohio, leaving him less than three weeks to serve the sentence. This will most likely cut down on rehearsal time for the band. A judge sentenced Weiland, who entered a no contest plea, to 192 hours in Los Angeles county jail for th... MORE

If you want to go to an insane concert, hope Stone Temple Pilots are coming to your town soon. Their show is amazing from beginning to end and transforms people from casual fans to mega fans. Scott Weiland unfortunately is still doing drugs you can occasionally tell by some of his mannerisms, but he still sounds good and moves around a stage better than most performing musicians these days. Also, Rob and Dean DeLeo sound amazing. Their concert is an overall display of show... MORE

Scott Weiland's Velvet Revolver axeman, Slash has spilled the beans on some interesting information about the frequent rehabing frontman. Slash told Billboard.com that Weiland will regroup with Stone Temple Pilots and play some shows this summer with the band he left in 2002, after releasing the album Shangri-La Dee Da. While on tour with Velvet Revolver Weiland has been warming up by singing STP covers during sets. No other info has been given about the summer STP dates... MORE

The Stone Temple Pilots debut album will never make any critics list of all time favorites, nor should it really. Scott Weiland takes turns imitating some of his favorite singers through most of the album - Eddie Vedder on 'Plush' for example. It's seemed more like an homage to what was popular at time as opposed to a record of any real consequence. And I love it. Almost every note of it. It didn't matter that NONE of the lyrics made any sense whatsoever.

I was still i... MORE

I have momentarily decided that this is my favorite STP album (despite it not having my favorite song by the Pilots). Not because of the hits it contains, though. I love songs like "Meatplow", "Pretty Penny", and this little rockin' tune.

Stone Temple Pilots will reportedly play more than fifty amphitheaters across the U.S. this summer. The new dates are expected to be announced April 7th.
