Weiland Says STP Will Headline Family Values Tour
By Teri vanHorn
With President Bush (news - web sites) in office, perhaps there's no better
time for a return of Family Values.
The successful hard-rock tour will resurface this fall with Stone Temple Pilots
leading the charge, according to the band's frontman.
"[Our management] asked everyone in the band if we were into it, and we said
yea," Scott Weiland said Friday. "That's what we're going for right now."
The trek is slated to run through the United States in October and November.
Staind and System of a Down are also in discussions to appear on the bill,
Weiland said. "That's the tentative lineup."
Publicists for Staind and System said the bands are still hammering out their
fall tour plans and have made no firm decisions. Family Values producer John
Scher said Monday (April 30) that organizers are not ready to make any
announcements regarding the lineup.
The Korn-founded Family Values fall tour had successful runs in 1998 and 1999
before taking a breather last year. Organizers cited stiff competition as the
reason for the break, including Stone Temple Pilots' Return of the Rock tour
with Godsmack. For a time, organizers kicked around the idea of staging the
festival in the winter or spring of this year.
Family Values' inaugural run in 1998 featured headliners Korn, Limp Bizkit,
Rammstein, Orgy and Ice Cube. Limp Bizkit topped the 1999 trek, which featured
a varying lineup that included Filter, Staind, the Crystal Method, Run-D.M.C.,
Mobb Deep and Method Man and Redman. Both were among the most successful tours
of their respective years.
STP just finished work on their fifth album, Shangri-La Dee Da, due June 19.
Songs slated for the LP range from hard-rockers like "Dumb Love," "Long Way
Home," and "Transmissions From a Lonely Room," to midtempo pop tunes
like "Hello It's Late" and "Samba Nova" and the ballads "Wonderful" and "Noah's
Song." Latin influences and experimental arrangements mark several tracks.
Shangri-La's first single, the catchy pop-rocker "Days of the Week," will
arrive at radio in late May as the band heads to Europe for a two-week tour.
"[Days of the Week] has kind of a rock 'n' roll feel of Zeppelin during the
Presence period, but melodically and lyrically where I was coming from was an
Elvis Costello or Joe Jackson [influence]," Weiland said.
Man, this album sounds like their best yet! And I cannot wait until they come
to Massachusetts!
Also, go to STP's official site and look in the Fan Pictures section...
My picture with Scott is in there!
*************************************************
4-24: IT'S OFFICIAL! STP'S new album, "Shangru-La Dee Da" will be out on
June 19! According to STP's Official Web Site, "This album has an
equal balance of hard rockers, mid-tempo pop songs and ballads, a few of which
have Latin influences. All the songs were written by STP and produced by their
longtime producer Brendan O'Brien. Some songs expected to make the album
are "Days of the Week", "Hollywood Bitch", "About a Fool", and "Bipolar Bear".
Man...this is gonna be one hell of an album!

Stone Temple Pilots Finish Recording, Preparing Documentary
By Teri vanHorn
Stone Temple Pilots will let fans watch them make their fifth album — but don't expect a personal invitation to their rented Malibu home.
STP filmed a behind-the-scenes documentary as they recorded the LP in their beach villa-turned-recording studio.
"It set out to be like a modern-day 'Let It Be,'" Chapman Baehler, the film's director, said Thursday (April 5), referring to Michael Lindsay-Hogg's 1970 Beatles documentary.
The film follows singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz through the record-making process, from hammering out songs in preproduction to putting the tunes down on tape.
"It's got a lot of really beautiful, moody shots — these art shots with either Dean or Robert playing an old organ in a really beautiful space, to Dean and Scott playing acoustic, to some totally awesome rock-out live stuff in the main recording space," Baehler said.
An established rock photographer who has shot STP for years, Baehler was working with the band on a coffee-table book when they approached him about the documentary. The project is Baehler's first venture into filmmaking; all of the footage was shot by him and his sister, Rebecca Baehler. Both the book and the film should be out later this year, he said.
STP moved into the Malibu house in January to work on the follow-up to 1999's platinum No. 4. The band is now mixing the album in Atlanta with longtime producer Brendan O'Brien, Baehler said.
The always ambitious Weiland said late last year that the band planned to make the recording a double album. Shortly after work got underway, Robert DeLeo said that goal looked realistic.
"Scott's in a space right now where we're not cramming to just get a single record done — he's in a space where I think a double record is possible."
There was no word at press time about the status of the double-album plans, but a source at the band's label, Atlantic, said the label is hesitant about the idea.

Noah Mercer Weiland; STP is in the studio working on the new
album. The release date is unknown. Also, the boys are planing
on putting out a double-CD of their greatist hits. In addition
to their current album workings, Scott Weiland is lending his

Stone Temple Pilots Plus One: Weiland And Wife Have Baby
(11/22/00, 5 p.m. ET) - Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland
and his wife Mary are th proud parents of a seven-pound, 10-ounce
boy named Noah Mercer Weiland. The child measures more than 20
inches long. He was born Sunday (November 19) in Los Angeles.
Of the new addition to his family, Weiland said, "It was the
most glorious moment in my life. He is healthy, wealthy, and
wiser than me."
When asked recently if he was prepared for parenthood amid his
continuing recovery from drug addiction, Weiland quipped, "Keith
Richards has done it. It's kinda like this. I think since we've
been out touring, you know, and since the time that I got out of
jail, I've been able to juggle what I do onstage and what I do in
my private life without dropping the pins. That means being a son
to my mother and father, being a friend to these guys [band
mates], a brother to my brother, and a husband to my wife."
Bassist Robert DeLeo added, "I think Scott's actually doing
physically and mentally the best I've ever seen him. If that
mean's he's ready for a child, then its the best time."
Fans who want to pass along their well wishes are encouraged to
post on the band's website or e-mail Weiland through the site.

Fans Will Get To Shoot STP Video
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Fans with video cameras will get to shoot the new
Stone Temple Pilots video.
Band frontman Scott Weiland says he's had it with music videos, so he's giving
fans a shot at the band's new ``No Way Out'' single.
``We had been agonizing over which way to go with the video in terms of direction and were so nauseous over
the state of music videos today that we decided we should leave it up to our fans,'' Weiland said.
The lead singer added it will be ``the true rock music fans who will have their part in turning back the tide of
current Mouseketeer song and dance shame.''
The band will perform ``No Way Out'' for about 400 fans - selected by Los Angeles station KROQ - at the El
Rey Theater on Sunday, and the budding directors will be asked to film whatever they choose on a video
camera of any kind.
The tapes will be collected and viewed, with the most compelling being compiled to make the clip. The
director's credit for the video will read: ``The Listeners of KROQ.''

DJ Lethal Taps Korn, Sugar Ray, STP Singers For Solo LP
By Staff Writer Teri vanHorn reports
Korn's Jonathan Davis, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Sugar Ray's Mark
McGrath and Stone Temple Pilots' Scott Weiland are expected to
lend their voices to the upcoming solo debut of Limp Bizkit's
DJ Lethal, due in the spring.
Also on the album's star-studded guest roster are rappers Eminem,
Method Man, Xzibit and Dilated Peoples, as well as Staind singer
Aaron Lewis and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello,
according to Eric Hunter, head of A&R at Geffen Records.
"Some of the tracks will gear themselves more toward a hip-hop
flavor and some will be more rock-oriented," Hunter said on
Thursday (Aug. 10). "Obviously what ties it all together will be
Lethal and his unique beats and music."
The vocals for the album haven't been recorded, but DJ Lethal has
been working on the music sporadically during the past year, in
between touring with Limp Bizkit and recording the band's new
album, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, due
this fall.
"With Limp Bizkit, [Lethal] is often the final element, working
his magic over somewhat finished material," Hunter said. "On this
album, he is able to create entirely his own material, with the
guest artists adding their additional flavor."
Well, this sound slike an awesome album. I love STP, I love
KoRn, I love Limp Bizkit...I'm definatly gonna get this album
as soon as it comes out !
*************************************************
7-30: Well, I SORTA went to the STP show on July 29, but I
didn't get in. The show was actually Web-Casted on VH1.com.
I actually slept outside OVER NITE at the club where the show was
being held and I got to see how they hook up all the equipment
for the web cast. I must say, I have a lot more respect for the
people who do that stuff because it was a lot of work! Props to
the VH1 and STP crew who do that stuff day-in, day-out! I will
have an article typed myself and my my pal who slept outside
with me, Lisa Simmons. Lisa got into the show, but I didn't.
Look for my article within a couple of days.

7-18: This past Saturday, STP headlined a one-time-only
performance at this year's Tatoo the Earth tour, featuring
Coal Chamber, Slipknot (person faves of mine), Slaver, Sevendust,
and more, in Portlant Oregon. Too bad they're notadlinging the
WHOLE tour cuz I'm going to the Tatoo The Earth festival this
Saturday at Sufflok Downs in East Boston. It's gonna be good
for 2 reasons: 1. They're wicked-kick ass bands performing,
and 2. The venue is 4 blocks from my house in East Boston! This
is gonna be one hell of a show!

Rock Beat: Stone Temple Pilots, Limp Bizkit, Metallica ...
Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland posted a note on his
band's Web site (www.stonetemplepilots.com) about the progress of
Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, the new Limp
Bizkit album he is helping to write and produce. "I think that it
sounds promising up to this point," he wrote. "There is one song
in particular that I think is beautiful that Fred [Durst] and I
worked on together. We actually perform together on the song."
That's good news that such a great singer/song writer/producer,
as Scott is, is helping out Limp Bizkit with their new album.
Hey, maybe Scott can teach L.B. how to be more kind to their
fans? Anyhow, I have been invited to an invitation-only Stone
Temple Pilots concert at the Avalon Ballroom in Boston, MA,
which is my hometown. It is scheduled for July 29 and is being
sponsored by VH1. I will let you guys know more info. as I get it!

Stone Temple Pilots' Weiland And Third Eye Blind's Jenkins Kiss
And Make Up
(6/30/00, 3 p.m. ET) - Philadelphia's annual FEZ festival, held
Wednesday (June 28), featured the Stone Temple Pilots, Third Eye
Blind, No Doubt, and Lit; a huge mosh pit, and a torrential
downpour. Organized by alternative-rock station Y100 (WYSP), the
concert featured three stages and more than 20 acts, but arguably
the most memorable moment was a shocking confession by STP singer
Scott Weiland.
After performing two songs, Weiland told the audience that he
forgave Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins for the San Francisco
singer's insults and said, "Me and Stephen kissed and made up.
You know, he gives good tongue." It was Stone Temple Pilots'
first trip back to the Philly area since Weiland's much-
publicized drug problems sidelined the band for three years.
Jenkins has also supposedly mended fences with Matchbox Twenty's
Rob Thomas, and he told LAUNCH he sees more camaraderie among
rock bands these days. "There's something that I'm actually
witnessing right now in music that's happening more now," he
observes. "I don't know if it's because of the changing stature
of us, or if it's because of just a general changing attitude of
music. I think it's the latter. We've been doing a bunch of
festival shows, and bands have been so supportive of each other.
Bands from totally different genres have been out watching each
other and getting into what some of the other bands are doing."
Case in point: During its set, Third Eye Blind's Jenkins took
advantage of his wireless microphone and joined his rain-soaked
fans for an impromptu cover of a Violent Femmes track (the Femmes
had appeared on the same stage earlier in the afternoon). Jenkins
made no mention of healing his rift with Weiland.

Stone Temple Pilots 'Break On Through' To Doors Members
(6/27/00, 1 p.m. ET) - Stone Temple Pilots have scored all the
perks of being one of the world's hottest bands, including
meeting some of the musicians who inspired them. That's what
happened when Scott Weiland and the boys recently tracked a
version of a Doors song, aided by members of that legendary band.
STP bass player Robert DeLeo tells LAUNCH was a highlight of
the Pilots' career. "Yeah it was, it was. We have it all
documented on video, too. We got asked to contribute to this
Doors record and do 'Break On Through.' We found out that Ray
Manzarek and Robby Krieger were going to come sit in," he said.
"Being in a room and actually playing with two members of the
Doors is definitely on the list." DeLeo added, "There have been
times through my career that I've just really cherished the
moment: being in a room with Ozzy [Osbourne] and being at
[Aerosmith's] Joe Perry's house and driving around in Steven
Tyler's Lotus with him."

"THE VIEW" this morning. They did a brief 3 minute interview and
performed Sour Girl, along with violins, chellos and the like. It
was a great set-up, if I do say so myself. Also, this comes from
Yahoo! news:
Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland has recorded about 10
songs that may land on another solo album someday, but it won't
be anytime soon. "I've sort of stockpiled them ... but I don't
see [a solo record] as anything that's in the near future because
all my musical energy is focused on STP," the singer said
recently. Weiland released his solo debut, 12 Bar Blues, in 1998,
while STP were on hiatus...
