Well I know a lot of people love the Stone Temple Pilots and a good amount of people hate them. I myself am a huge fan and always wonder what could have been if it wasn't for all the heroin problems. I was really hoping to get a an album from them after this whole reunion tour. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like Scott Weiland is down for it. Here is the news via Blabbermouth:
"When you commit to a band that big that sold so many records and touched that many people, you can't easily get out of it," he said. "I'm finally on my own, at a place I've wanted to be for so long."
On being gun-shy about band duty, he said, "There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust. But at this phase of my life, I want to write and not have to think about whether a song is going to be a hit. I want to explore the music that inspires me, and I don't want to ape myself.
"I've been saying for a long time that I couldn't see myself shaking my (butt) in leather pants when I'm 40. My goal in STP was to leave an imprint. That was done. I want to move forward and be in control of what I do musically. I have kids, and I don't want to spend my life on the road."
I am personally not a fan of the new Weiland record but I was hoping that I would dig it. I really thought it would be more different I guess, like he had been saying.
Here are some vids from the NYC show that he apparently showed up an hour late for...
