The self titled debut album of Home Town Hero, the band that support STP's concerts, arrives today in stores. I've just receibed a 3 track promo single, offered by their management team, and their sound is really nice "No sampling, no DJ's, just four guys playing rock".

P.S.- When will STP have a management team like this? Alive and really promoting the band.

04-22-2002

STP played last night at Ithaca, NY and the band dedicated the song Big Empty to Layne Staley. As we can read at the LAUNCH site: "A body believed to be Alice In Chains singer Layne Staley was found at his home Friday (April 19), according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The body appeared to be dead for several days, the Seattle medical examiner's office told the paper. The cause of death was not known at press time".

There are some new pics of this spring tour at the official site.

LAUNCH also announces that Weiland "... was spotted on the streets of New York on Wednesday (April 17) in his pajamas, asking where he could find women's panties, reports the New York Post. It turns out that Weiland wasn't planning on trouble this time around. He was just trying to find underwear for his wife, model Mary Forsberg, because their luggage had been lost on an airline".

04-12-2002

The new spring tour starts today at Austin, Texas. STP will play at the Rock For the Roses Benefit with other bands.

04-09-2002

Weiland left an audio message on the official site. At the msg he said that they are rehearsing to incorporate new songs into the lineup of the concerts of the new spring tour.

Home Town Hero is the band that will support STP at the several club shows of the upcoming tour.

Scott Weiland answers fans questions at .com. This is little teaser of what you can read at the official site:

Q: I would like to know what your take is on all of the mp3 sharing going on.
Scott: I think it's an excellent way for people to get ahold of rare music.

Q: My question to you is how did you come up with all of those crazy moves you do on stage??
Scott: Borrow and steal! James Brown, Iggy Pop, Mick Jagger, Middle eastern belly dancing-Tai-Chi meets urban punk rock soul brother boogie.

Q: I have always wondered what song for you holds the most meaning to you. Out of everything we as fans have heard what is the song that you find most personal to you. And while I'm on the subject what is your best album you ever put together in your opinion?
Scott: I would have to say that the most painfully honest song that I've ever written was either "Adhesive" or "The Date."
Out best album was either Purple or Shangri-La.

Metal Hammer announces the US spring tour, the new album and that "... Weiland is continuing work on a new record that could possibly be a follow-up to 1998's 'Twelve Bar Blues'...".

Billboard reports that Wonderful will not be the 1st single of Elektra's upcoming "Family Values Tour 2001" live album, due May 7: "Although the group's "Wonderful" was originally scheduled to be the set's first single, Elektra has opted to send a sampler featuring various album tracks to U.S. radio outlets for airplay consideration".

Anyway, the site Below Empty has the mp3 of this music!

Weiland told LAUNCH that the band will be back to the studio during the summer. He said that STP actually turned down the OzzFest in favor of hitting the studio: "I'm hinting around that we're looking towards making another record."
But... Why'll they make a new record if they didn't promote very well this one? If my memory is correct, the concerts were just like STP's greatest hits! Maybe they'll play Shangri-La on this Spring tour. I really don't care, cause'll adore to have a new STP album for Xmas.

Launch also annouces that Shangri-La Dee Da went gold as certified by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales of 500.000 copies.

03-14-2002

Scott talked to LAUNCH and told how he and his wife are preparing the arrival of the new little girl.
At the interview we can see how proud Weiland is about being a good father: " My God, how did this ever happen?- I'm actually a parent and a pretty good one."

03-13-2002

Good news are coming from several US festival sites: STP is scheduled to play at many concerts. The official site hasn't confirmed any date, but I think that we can trust!

This is the list of possible concerts:

- 9 th annual Music Midtown Festival in Atlanta, GA (05-04)
They have a huge lineup with 120 bands and 11 stages. Bands like Bush, Counting Crowes, Garbage, Hoobastank, Incubus, No Doubt, Puddle of Mudd... will play at the same stage as STP: The 99 X Stage.

- Norfolk, VA (04-16) was announced by Ticketmaster

- Cityfest Live in Charlotte, NC (04-27)

- Lance Armstrong Foundation's Rock for the Roses in Austin, TX (04-12)

Scott told LAUNCH how "wonderful" was the colaboration with Chester Bennington (Linkin Park vocalist) at the FVT2001:
"Chester was coming out on stage with us pretty much from the onset of the tour performing ''Dead And Bloated'' with me. He's younger than I am by a few years, and STP is sort of the band he grew up with, along with a couple of others. Before I even met him I read a lot in the press, in magazines and such, as far as what his feelings were towards STP and the kind of effect and influence it has had on him," Weiland said. "So, we were pretty honored to hear that and to meet him. And when he was interested in coming up on stage we thought it would be kind of fun."

By the way, Wonderful goes to US radio on March 20. Request it for you and for all the european fans!

The official site reports that STP are planning a new tour beginning in April. I think that it'll be just a US tour!

98 rock shows that STP will be playing at Livestock 12 (April 26- 28). The festival also includes names like: James Cantrell, Kid Rock, Puddle of mudd, Rob Zombie, Sevendust, Adema, Soil, Gravity Kills, Fu Manchu, Course of Nature, Lost Prophets, Apex Theory, Sinastar, Mesh, Kevin Martin (of Candlebox), Battery (Metallica T.B.)... The site says that more big names will be added!

Anyone saw STP at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards? There are no pics of them at the grammy's official site !

There's a rummor that STP will be touring next summer with Foo Fighters, but nothing official. I like very much Dave's band, so... let's wait just a few more days to see what happens. P.S.--> At the official Fighter's page there are just two dates for US concerts (in May).

I've just added a new mp3 of STP at "Paredes de Coura Festival" and the chosen song was Crackerman (until January 26).

Weiland has left an audio message for the fans at the official site, where he says that he's very disappointed with the commercial success of Shangri-La: "The fact is Shangri-La broke my heart, I put everything into that album, believing if I could get real and honest but it was virtually ignored and I was wrong". Read the rest at LAUNCH!
