I'm gonna guess Plush, maybe even acoustic, and/or interstate love song. It will more than likely be something from the first two albums.

Stone Temple Pilots Reunite for Tour

43 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? 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.

Scott formed VR?  hmmmm.....

65 dates with album to follow... Weiland fired VR, VR didn't get rid of Weiland, though they probably wanted to. 

Best luck to STP.

[bazgnr]

Scott's Velvet Revolver statement kind of shows that STP's going to be a full-time commitment. I have to wonder how soon we'll get an album out of the band.

The first fan-filmed video footage has surfaced of the reunited STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' first show in almost eight years, which took place on Monday (April 7) in the Hollywood Hills.

The band performed a half-dozen hits during a 30-minute set, including opener "Big Empty" (see clip below), "Vasoline" and "Interstate Love Song", all of which are taken from STP's second album, 1994's "Purple".
