Stone Temple Pilots Release New Tour Dates and Information On New Album
Posted by Dan Marsicano on 04.08.2008
Band looking to tour throughout the whole summer and record an album right after the tour...
Recently reunited alternative rock band Stone Temple Pilots have announced additional tour dates to their 65 city tour that will start in May and run into November.
The band has also commented on the possiblity of a new record after the tour. In an interview with MTV.com, frontman Scott Weiland said, " The whole record machine is fucked up now, so we really want to get to a place of having some freedom, because we have a lot of leverage."
"We have sold almost 40 million records, and we're in a position of power. We want to be free agents, whether it's putting our records out ourselves, or doing some interesting, very creative deal with a nontraditional major record label. The system as it is now ... that formula does not work. We've seen it; we'll need to do things differently, do things wiser," Weiland added.
The band looks to write about 100 songs before tracking the new album, bassist Robert DeLeo added.
