Stone Temple Pilots Reunion!

 After a five-year breakup and nearly eight-year absence from the concert scene, Stone Temple Pilots will reunite for a North American tour.

On Monday, Singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo,bessist Robert Deleo and drummer Eric Kretz revealed the details of their 65-city tour, set to begin May 17 in Columbus, Ohio.

“The story’s not finished,” Weiland told The Associated Press. “There’s more to be revealed and more to be told.”

DeLeo said the band plans to record a new album after the tour, which is set to wrap in November.

Formed in 1992, the band has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.

The Grammy-winning rockers celebrated their announcement with a private show in the Hollywood Hills.

They’re scheduled to make their first national television appearance May 1 on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”.

Weiland, 40, has been dogged by drug problems since the band’s early days. His arrests for drug possession and stints in rehab led the group to cancel tour dates and contributed to their breakup. Weiland pleaded not guilty last month to charges of driving under the influence of drugs stemming from a November car crash.

After Stone Temple Pilots Split, Weiland formed the rock group Velvet Revolver On April 1, his bandmates — Slash, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum and Dave Kushner — announced that Weiland was no longer part of the group.

“Among other things, his increasingly erratic on-stage behavior and personal problems have forced us to move on,” Slash said in a statement.

Two days later, Stone Temple Pilots announced their reunion

They are going to be at Edge Fest! The July 12 event will be held at the city’s Downsview Park. Other acts scheduled to appear include Sam Roberts Band, The Bravery, Ashes Divide, Attack In Black, Arkells, Coast, Creature, The Flatliners, Hostage Live, Modernboys Moderngirls, The Stereohoax, Sweet Thing and USS.

I know that she is oh so controversial; but I love her music. I love dancing around my house with Ethan listening to her soul-filled lyrics and deep sensual jazzy voice! I have been listening to her Back to Black album ever since I got it and have not been able to stop. I just love the song, You Know I’m no Good. And the upbeat song Tears dry on Their Own. I actually am not ashamed to say I love the whole album…the whole thing cover to cover.

I find it so funny when I hear people say that the grammies were rewarding her bad behaviour and drug abuse by doling out the prestigious awards, but I am of the opinion that these awards are for her talent not for the way she lives her life. I mean noone is giving her an award for for her behaviour I mean let’s be frank about it. This the girl is not going to be a saint; and  she’s not trying to! The girl is a gifted and talented performer and she deserved those grammies! That’s just my opinion.
