STP to Reunite for Summer Shows


[ L-R: Dean DeLeo, Scott Weiland, Eric Kretz, Robert DeLeo.]

"I don't think the world's fucking biding their time waiting for Stone Temple Pilots to reform."
- Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum in Rolling Stone magazine.

Wrong, ass wipe: Scott Weiland will join brothers Dean and Robert DeLeo, as well as drummer Eric Kretz, for a series of summer shows, as Stone Temple Pilots will come together for the first time since their 2002 breakup. No further details are available at this time. We, of course, have one thing to add: Yesss!!!

(Not to give in to conjecture but if this turns out to be the death knell for Velvet Revolver can a GnR reunion with Slash and Duff McKagan be far behind? Just sayin'...)

In the meantime, here's the band performing quite possibly their greatest tune, "Interstate Love Song," live at the Rolling Rock Town Fair 2.0 in 2001:
