STP to Reunite, Velvet Revolver back to the studio
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
I read yesterday that Scott Weiland has stated that a Stone Temple Pilots reunion is “imminent”. Personally, I’d be really pleased to see that happen. They were one of the more solid and reliable bands to come out of the 90’s, with a ton of hits and a drum sound clearly influenced by John Bonham. They also happened to be one of those bands I never had a chance to see live.
Interestingly enough, the same day a STP reunion gets talked about Slash comes out and says he hopes that Velvet Revolver will head right back to the studio once their current tour for “Libertad” wraps. Does that mean Weiland will be doing double duty in the coming months?
I had a chance to meet the guys from VR a few years ago. It was one of the few times I’ve really been in awe of rock stars. Weiland just oozed cockiness, while Slash was very cool indeed. He even told me how much he liked my “I Need More Cowbell” t-shirt. I’m pretty sure I came off as a total goof, but hey hey, what could I do. I was in awe.
Which band would you rather check out in concert - Velvet Revolver or a reunited Stone Temple Pilots? Leave a message and let me know.
Here’s todays bonus word, good until midnight Wednesday: PILOTS
