Stone Temple Pilots Reunite for Tour
April 7, 2008, 10:17 PM EST

The Associated Press

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, bassist 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.

I think I may have told this story before. But the last time The Pilots were in town, me and my buddies Ron, Mot, and Pothead Johnny went to go see. I think Ron got free tickets somehow.

At one point during the show (song goes "1/2 the man I used to be..." over and over) Weiland jumps off stage. The spotlight is whirling trying to keep on him. Our seats were on a level just above the floor level. Where is Weiland, where is Weiland? And he pops up suddenly, about 2 feet in front of me and Pothead Johnny & is singing to us "I'm 1/2 the man I used to be"...me and Johnny are just like "hey will you look at that? that''s weiland and he's singin at us. hi weiland!"

my buddy mot tho screamed like a little girl. To this day, nearly 8 yrs later, if Mot gets on anyone's nerves, all anyone has to say is "hey remember Mot at the STP show?"....

and that shuts him up completely.smile.gif
