Scott Weiland Hints At A Stone Temple Pilots Reunion, Which We'll Start Believing As Soon As He Stops Disappearing
The (generally) under-appreciated -- though, let's face it, with the early-era EdVed aping and late-era hard-drug taking, we can understand why -- Stone Temple Pilots called it quits in 2003 so the awesome DeLeo brothers could start up the less-than-awesome Army Of Anyone, and Scott Weiland could front Velvet Revolver and have his wife incinerate his wardrobe. So good times all around, obviously, leaving us not exactly surprised to hear Weiland tell Miami Herald that "we should be on the lookout for an STP reunion in the coming months."
Problem is, Scott's got this habit (no, not that habit), of sorta vanishing. Or, more properly, not appearing -- like he did this weekend in Utah.
Blabbermouth reports Weiland was a no-show for Velvet Revolver's set at the 944 Mag party at Sundance Sunday night, leading the band to ask for singing volunteers. So, like karaoke with oM or the Thermals, except not planned and due to probably-not-good-things (a more appropriate 'see also': that recent Babyshambles gig).
On the plus side, though, the cast of Sundance karaokeers included Matt Sorum, who climbed from behind the kit and did his best Weiland-doing-his-best-Axl on "Patience." Observe:

Great news. STP was one of the best rock bands of all time. I hope it happens.
Army of Anyone does look like it's done for now (and hopefully permanently) -- Richard Patrick announced last month that Filter is coming back (although with new band members).

everything after core was great.

I really hope he pulls a Heath Ledger... Actually, that would be disrespectful to Heath, who was a really talented guy. Scott Weiland is a bland leftover from the 90's that has somehow hasn't killed himself yet.
Here's hoping

This is honestly the greatest news Ive heard all day. STP was one of my top 5 favorite bands growing up and was saddened when they broke up. Considering that Ive never seen them live, Im going to go through great lenghts ensure that I do.

I would LOVE an STP reunion. Neither Army of Anyone nor VR measure up.

Army of anyone's Goodbye is one of the best songs ever

I love the idea of an STP reunion! I really enjoyed all of the side projects including VR and Army of Anyone(GREAT album by the way...very underappricated), 12 bar blues was great as well. I even liked "talk show" with the deleo brothers! I have seen STP in concert 4 times so far, would love to see more and hear another STP album. Big Fan of all the work they do...I hope filter comes back too, "Title of Record" one of my favorite albums...
