SCOTT WEILAND Talks New Solo Album - Nov. 11, 2008

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER singer Scott Weiland recently spoke to MTV.com about his forthcoming solo album, "Happy in Galoshes", which is scheduled for release on November 25.

"Most of the heavy writing that was done for this record has been done [during the] separation ... between my wife and I," said Weiland, who is working on his autobiography with author David Ritz (who has previously authored books on Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye, among others). "In those moments of emotional desperation, [my recording] studio would become my home, really. It's a massive warehouse place that used to be a heavy-machinery factory, which originally reeked of thick machine oil. I've had the studio for about 10 years, and it's like my art studio. It's a place where I have gone for solace. It's like my church, in a sense. When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single."

Apparently Best Buy is having technical difficulties and the pre-order will be available in the next couple of days. 

They really know how to drop the ball when it comes to pre-orders, first they screwed up with CD and the multiple covers, now they screw up Weiland's solo album. Soon it'll be three days in which they've been unable to add a functioning "pre-order now" link.

Can you buy the double CD at the Best-Buy store or do you have to get it online?

Scott Weiland Talks New Solo Album, Possible Stone Temple Pilots LP
Plus, singer addresses Velvet Revolver split: 'It just mistakenly kind of eroded.'

However, the suit hasn't deterred the band from working on new material, Weiland said. "I know those guys have been writing, and there's been some really cool stuff that's come about from that," he explained. "I'm proud of everything we've written. But to make another record would mean another couple of years of my life dedicated to that, and I just don't know if that's where I see myself going."
