Stone Temple Pilots Announce New US Dates

The reformed STP are on tour in support of their sixth studio album, “Stone Temple Pilots”, which was released on May 25th 2010, and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 album chart. The band had previously postponed 12 of their US dates in September 2010 after a rambling speech from front man Scott Weiland that alluded to his brother’s death, his divorce and that he had started drinking again.

This came after accusations that the singer was using backing tracks in concert following a fall onstage in Cincinnati in which his vocals were apparently unaffected. Weiland has since denied these claims, stating “[STP] are a rock ‘n’ roll band. Rock ‘n’ roll bands perform live”.

Tickets for US and Australasian dates are now on sale from www.stonetemplepilots.com.

I am still up in the air. The new album was a disappointment and scotts performances lately have been less than stellar and unpredictable. Kinda sad but dont wanna lose money.

i wouldnt say it was a huge disapointment; i liked it, although it was much different than other albums and it was a new sound. ive seen them twice in the last two years and each performance was great, the only thing i find a little funny is that Weiland never seems to be looking at the audience, its like he's always looking past them unlike the deleo brothers, there's nothing wrong with that though, besides he said he had stage fright or something like that
