Scott Weiland to release ?Live in Los Angeles? in March?

I?ve got a bit of an exclusive for you guys this morning? currently unconfirmed, but all signs are pointing to a live album from Scott Weiland coming at the end of March.

The show was recorded last year in Los Angeles at the Henry Fonda theater during Weiland?s brief solo jaunt. The tour was in support of his last solo album, ?Happy? in Galoshes.

The live album should be out by the end of March. It may be released as a stand-alone record or may be bundled with a re-release of ?Happy? in Galoshes. Weiland?s a phenomenal live performer and while his voice has changed over the years due to his previous drug habits, he?s still got more charisma than any other frontman out there.

The show that took place at the Henry Fonda theater featured Scott?s solo stuff, some STP tracks (?Interstate Love Song,? ?Vasoline?) and a few covers. If I remember correctly he covered both Jane?s Addiction?s ?Mountain Song? and The Smiths? ?Reel Around the Fountain,? so hopefully those will make the cut. It?ll definitely make for a good live LP.

An interview with Mary Weiland...

Interview: Mary Forsberg Weiland Talks Fall to Pieces, Scott Weiland and More?

Mary Forsberg Weiland penned a story that's simultaneously inspiring, thought-provoking, harrowing, funny and very tangible with her autobiography, Fall to Pieces: A Memoir of Drugs, Rock 'N' Roll and Mental Illness. The real crazy thing is, it's all true too! Mary's gone on a quite the journey, and now she just wants to help people with her story. There's no doubt that she will?

Mary sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino for an exclusive video interview about Fall to Pieces, the story behind a very "interesting" Stone Temple Pilots song, what instantly struck her about Scott Weiland and one "unforgettable" night on the road in Denver?

Check out the video here and below!

Scott Weiland: "The Internet Is Ridiculous"

added 18 June 2010 at 15.57

Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland has told Xfm that he thinks the internet is "all crap" and no better than the old game of "Chinese whispers" when it comes to accuracy.

"It's all crap," Weiland told Xfm's Ian Camfield. "I read written reviews in major newspapers, but online stuff is like just a hyper-version of telephone.

"It's ridiculous. There are a lot of great things that have come from it, but I think there's a lot of bad things. I think it's destroyed modern journalism. It's turned things incredibly tabloidesque. Anyone who thinks they have passed basic creative writing 101 can be a blogger."

Now back with the reformed STP, Weiland is no stranger to the odd bit of tabloid gossip, and even went as far to say that the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger film 'The Terminator' eerily preicted the rise of the Web.

"Technology is pretty amazing, but it's grown leaps and bounds and it's sort of become ahead of itself. Movies like the original Terminator foresaw what would happen. They are metaphors, of course, but they saw that machines would just take over our lives."

You can hear the full interview in Ian Camfield's Rock Show on Saturday night (June 19).

To continue with Xfm's commitment to accuracy online, we will now end with another quote from Mr Weiland: "Me and Pete Doherty are about to put a band together. It's called The Hype."

It's all there on tape! Honest!

Scott Weiland will be releasing another Christmas album titled ""Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" and will be released on November 23rd.

[Fingers]

I just read his ex. wife's beeok, Fall to Pieces, and she mentioned he was really into Christmas-another tidbit-when they used to go and score drugs, GNR's Appetite for Destruciton was always playing in the car.

According to Scott Weiland's business partner and touring guitarist Doug Grean:

Doug Grean - 22 Hours ago

Going into the studio with Scott Weiland again today. Writing songs for his new solo record.

It's going to be a more raw/rock sound. More like a live band playing in the studio. The way it should be. No word on release date, too soon to tell. But hopefully it won't take as long as the last one!!

[westcoast_junkie]

Scott Weiland will perform not one but two STP albums at the Howard Theatre

February 6, 2013

The oft-erratic and occasionally crooning frontman of the  influential alternative rock band ? who we last saw lounge-singing Christmas tunes at the 9:30 Club ? will perform 1992′s ?Core? and 1994′s ?Purple? back-to-back when he plays the Howard on March 11. But ?The Purple to the Core? tour isn?t an STP reunion: It?s Weiland, his backing band and two jewel cases full of memories. (?Caiiiin youuuu seeee ??)

Tickets go on sale Thursday at 3 p.m. through Ticketmaster. $39.50 in advance, $45 at the door.

Why does he never tour in Europe?
