Weiland says greatest hits set due this year
" The Stone Temple Pilots...recently recorded a new song, "All in the Suit That You Wear," for an upcoming greatest-hits collection.
"It rocks," says frontman Scott Weiland, who insists the band's hiatus has been overplayed in the press.

The DeLeo brothers [Dean and Robert] are doing some producing right now, and Eric [Kretz] just built a studio. We worked for ten years, we made five records, we sold 25 million records around the world, and we felt like we needed a break."
Although Weiland is currently singing in Velvet Revolver ..., he hasn't dismissed the possibility of another STP full-length down the road. "There's always hope," he says. "There's always hope."
The greatest hits set, so far without a confirmed title or release date...".

" In Los Angeles on Monday (June 2) ... Scott Weiland pleaded innocent to charges of drug possession in connection with a May 17 incident. Weiland was arrested last month in Burbank, California when police stopped the car, driven by 29-year-old Jennifer Lynn Sires, for driving without the headlights turned on. During the routine stop, police spotted drug paraphernalia and arrested Weiland and Sires. Weiland was released after posting $10,000 dollars bail.
Court officials told Reuters that the 35-year-old Weiland will enter a rehabilitation program to try and curb his heroin and cocaine habits--something he did involuntarily in 1999 when he was sentenced to an in-prison rehab facility. The beleaguered singer is set to appear back in court on July 11 to set a preliminary hearing date".
