Stone Temple Pilots To Complete New Album After Tour

Stone Temple Pilots spent the last few months working on a new studio album with producer Don Was. The band currently has tour dates through the beginning of 2010, after which the group is expected to resume recording the CD for a tentative spring/summer release.

"When we get back, we're going to finish the album," singer Scott Weiland tells Spinner.com. "And then when we finish the album, there will be a big tour around its release and that will probably be a long tour."

The upcoming release of Pilots' sixth studio album and first since 2001's "Shangri-La-Dee-Da" has been complicated by a contractual dispute between Weiland, drummer Eric Kretz and STP's label, Atlantic Records.

Stone Temple Pilots were reactivated in 2008 after a six-year layoff, during which time Weiland recorded two albums with Velvet Revolver before being dismissed in April 2008.

Weiland issued a second solo effort, called "Happy In Galoshes", last November and has been touring on his own behind that release.

Cool. Might give it a listen.

[lefty311]

They always seem to forget the fact that the Deleo brothers put out a fantastic album with Richard Patrick and Ray Luzier (Army Of Anyone).

[thedekker]

[THRASH-METAL]

[metal@hart11]

[CousticStrangla]

No. 4 was terrible, hopefully No. 6 will be an improvement.

[riffmasterjosh]

I saw them not too long ago and they still put on a great show. Hopefully the new album will be amazing.

+1. I miss AOA. The last concert they ever played was in my city, and i missed it

[jp_cheif]

Saw them earlier this month. But on a fantastic show. Had a great set list. Just hope the new album will be just as good.

[p_a_n_a_m_a]

Cool. Good for them.

[J.A.R.]

AWESOME!!!

[crazy8rgood]

Nice. Never heard a song I didn't like from these guys.

2010 looks great for albums so far, MGMT's new album, STP's new album, The Horrors new album, looks good.

[BassFishin]

I thought this was older news? No?

I remember thinking about a year ago 'oh man, i can't wait until that new STP album comes out next year!'

You must be sorely mistaken sir. No. 4 was their best album to date. Shangri-la was not so good, however. I do agree that I hope this new one is an improvement because if they make something better than that masterpiece, I will be in awe.

[areese82]

Just saw 'em in Reading a couple weeks ago. I couldn't believe how kick azz they still are after all this time. Just as good as when I saw em back in 2000. Do hope the album is better than the last one though

[gerardk]

Cant wait for it.

+1 A very good and very underrated album. I'd rather see Army of Anyone record a new record than STP.

Checked

European Tour in summer '10? Hopefully.

All of their albums had some great stuff. Personally I can't decide which release is the best. Every one of them give a different atmosphere. Maybe not every fan enjoy, but there is simply no reason to dispute over 'personal charts'.
Anyway, the should play some new stuff to give some kind of taste of the new CD. Also they ought to revise their setlists. Mostly it's: Core+Purple+bonuses(usually no Shangri-La:x).

[GIBSONroks6167]

Im so psyched for this...I saw them live last July and honestly, they were the tightest live band I've seen yet. I actually saw Velvet Revolver just that January, right before they axed Scott, and they were great but nowhere near as tight as STP...so this album, hopefully, should be great!

i'm right along with that my friend, every album has something great about it, and for that reason, I can't decide either. I like the heaviness and groove of their first few albums then the switch to a more psychedelic sound on Shangri-La. Just hoping this has it's own unique atmosphere and i'll be happy! (on the other hand, i'm not happy that they charge so much for their concert tickets)

[societysphantom]

AIC just dropped their new CD not too long ago and its pretty awesome as it contains the AIC sound i've grown to love .. I hope this STP album delivers the same =/

Not I. God, that album was good. Even when they covered STP songs, it sounded amazing.

Yes,

[joshman]

Got my tickets for Halifax on November 24th!

[JP240Z]

i just saw them a couple weeks ago and it was an awesome show...pretty sure their new stuff will rock too cant wait to hear it

[aocrkid]

i remember when pearl jam was the only band left from the 90s...then they made backspacer...

[aocrkid]

the grunge days**

[sludgegarden69]

i saw them in new jersey on their comeback tour...it was pretty awful, scott wasnt singing well at all and he kept forgetting lyrics. i dont even remember how the rest of the band sounded because he was so distracting. ive only heard good things about their other shows lately though, and i just hope the new cd goes back to something like their old style rather than scotts solo albums. back before they split they said their sixth cd would sound like core, but its been a while since then and i hope they still feel that way

[Zeered]

YEAH BABY!!!!

[Daburcor]

2010's going to be awesome! New Bangles, new Matthew Sweet, and now new STP!? Great!

[chaoticfables]

I hope their new stuff is gonna be great, like their 90s days..

[hazardmaster]

Man can't wait. Their old stuff will always be the best though. Definitely glad they are back together aye!

[Obama FTW]

Im happy to hear STP is gonna make some music ago. I can only hope its going to be as good as Core. And its good to see that Scott Weiland will be singing with them again. I think this could be a good album.

[Wolf Dog Moon]

This group has put out a lot of great music. My favorite song by them is still Interstate Love Song, but they came out of the blocks with their best album with Core. That album is just a beast.

[kfong03]

YES PLEASE

Checked.

[Angelic_Demon]

I am very pleased to find I am not the only one who cares about Army of Anyone.
