SCOTT WEILAND: More Solo Album Details Revealed; Tour Dates Announced - Sep. 5, 2008

Following the success of his red-hot reunion tour with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, Scott Weiland has announced the release of his highly-anticipated sophomore album, "Happy In Galoshes", out November 18, 2008 via the artist's label Softdrive Records and distributed by New West Records/ RED/ Sony.

Rocketing to the forefront of the music world in 1992, Scott Weiland has become one of the music world's most highly-respected and prolific artists. As the front man for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, Weiland has remained a dominant force in rock music since the group's inception. Now with his sophomore solo release Weiland proves that his music and song-writing is as potent and powerful as ever.

"Happy In Galoshes", produced by Scott Weiland and Doug Grean (VELVET REVOLVER, SHERYL CROW, CRYSTAL METHOD), with select tracks recorded by Steve Albini, features a collection of songs that bring a revitalizing sound to Weiland's highly praised and unique musical style. The album also features several guest appearances including Adrian Young, Tony Kanal and Tom Dumont of NO DOUBT, who, along with Grean and Weiland, penned "Paralysis", which features Young on drums. "She's so Cold" was co-written by Gary Beers from INXS. The album also includes other standout tracks such as the dynamic "Missing Cleveland" and the catchy hooks of "Talk About Love".

Scott Weiland plans to tour (see dates below) in support of the release in November following the release of the album, and the completion of the STP's reunion tour, which re-cemented the group's standing as one of the most successful rock groups of all time.

SCOTT WEILAND Says Upcoming Solo Record Will Be 'Double Album' - Apr. 30, 2008

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland has posted the following message on his MySpace page:

"I felt the need to check in and let everyone know what the latest and greatest is...as you know, my original band, STP, have reunited and are gearing up for our 4 month tour of the U.S. this summer. I'm really excited to be back in cohoots with my old buddies and share that tingly feeling when we perform.

"I've been crazy busy since coming off tour and never get the chance to sleep in anymore! I have been working on my solo record, which will be a double album due for a November release. It's gonna be awesome, with many different musical influences like rock, punk, R&B as well as an eclectic blend that we've come up with over the years. Can't wait for everyone to hear it. I'm also in the process of writing my autobiography along with famed writer David Ritz, also due out toward the end of the year. It will be a collection of stories, experiences and lessons throughout my life. Definitely a good read.

"Well, I gotta hit the studio now. Ill do my best to check in every now and then. I want you to know, I ALWAYS appreciate the love and support and am excited to give you all a great tour."

Well, good for him.  But what's this doing in Ex Gunners section? 

Maybe Admin was thinking of starting another childboard for the former members of VR but, since they don't have a cool nickname, he didn't know what to call it and Ex-VRers just didn't cut it so it wound up here. 

[Verse Chorus Verse]

I can't wait for 'Happy'...12 Bar Blues was really good.

[Jizzo]

ill buy it, not looking forward to it

   It really doesn't matter where this topic is placed, I guess.  But since there is no ex-VR section, then I would have thought it better in Bad Obsession.  But, whatever.....

If you're not looking forward to it, then why are you going to buy it?

Week in Review

SPIN.com's Best of the Week, September 15-21

What we learned this week: Eminem hates his new songs. Scott Weiland's new single is awesome. Paramore really like vampires. And more.
By Spin Staff 09.19.08 6:15 PM

What we learned from Scott Weiland's new song, "Paralysis": Even booze-swilling bad boys have a big, shiny pop heart. The first track leaked from Weiland's forthcoming solo record, Happy in Galoshes, is so positive-sounding that it might help him reconcile with the remaining members of Velvet Revolver -- uh, probably not. Click here to have a listen.
