MaverThe disc will be issued through Atlantic Records, although Weiland told The Pulse of Radio at the time of the band's 2008 reunion tour that he was interested in exploring other options outside the traditional music industry. "When we first talked about putting STP back together, it was do this tour and then see about doing a creative deal with another company, like an all-in deal," he said. "And, you know, if you look at even like RADIOHEAD and a handful of other bands, they make more money doing things in an unconventional fashion as opposed to doing it, you know, with the major labels."STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunited in 2008 after a six-year layoff. The band's last album, "Shangri-La-Dee-Da", came out in 2001.STONE TEMPLE PILOTS will be featured on VH1's "Friday Night Alright" concert series on Friday, May 21 at 11:00 p.m. The performance footage was filmed on March 27, 2010 at Chicago's Riviera Theatre."Friday Night Alright" is described as a music fan's passport to first-class rock and pop music concerts in HD from around the world. "'Friday Night Alright' [is] the premiere destination for concerts on television — a different show featuring an A-list artist every week, driven by the excitement of arm-waving, foot-stomping audiences," said Ben Zurier, Executive Vice President, Program Strategy for VH1. "The series literally covers the globe to present the best artists, and the best-produced concerts."According to Billboard.com, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has several TV appearances lined up around its new album's release — including NBC-TV's "Late Show With David Letterman" (May 19) and ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (May 25) — and it's scheduled for Howard Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio show May 18.http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=139054http://www.amazon.com/Stone-Temple-Pilots/e/B000ARC4TI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Pretty lame that they started this promotion with BTL, it's been out for weeks already.The Bagman and Hickory Dichotomy boots are great, can't wait to hear those beauties in full studio glory.

Powerage5 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Can't wait for Friday Night Alright, we finally get a good (i.e. better quality than Buenos Aires) proshot from the post-reunion STP.Won't be listening to any more of the studio tracks though, I'm waiting to pop it on my turntable. The 4 we've heard live plus the album version of BTL is enough to tide me over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hickory DichotomyI actually like the live version of this song better. Scott sings the verses live, where as the studio verses sound like he's casually talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eye2eye Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Actually I prefer it over live version, it sounds fresh and it's cool that he is kind of talking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNSNROSES513 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 VERY Talking Heads sounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Walmart will air an exclusive STP performance in stores Maybe I'll push my way past the fat sows shopping for bargain Dunkeroos and tube socks to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Walmart will air an exclusive STP performance in stores Maybe I'll push my way past the fat sows shopping for bargain Dunkeroos and tube socks to check it out. I went back into a Wal-Mart last night for the first time in quite a while, and I was literally disgusted. Just by all of it. I was so uncomfortable that I left the store and traveled further to Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn_It_Up Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 (edited) VERY Talking Heads sounding.Yeah, good call. But shockingly bad track. Between The Lines the better of the 2, but faint praise. They wrote this album entirely without Scott's input, he was nowhere around. Way disappointed so far...http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/scott_weiland_and_stp_worked_apart_on_album.html Edited April 28, 2010 by Turn_It_Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 They wrote this album entirely without Scott's input, he was nowhere around. Plenty of great STP songs were written and arranged without Scott, this is just the first time a whole album was conceived that way.I have the utmost faith in the DeLeos, they always bring their A-Game. It's Scott who can sometimes slack off.Anyway, these are two wacky songs and I can see how people would be disappointed. I kind of love them.

Dead Flower Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 the trippy art pop seems to be a natural progression from shangri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way disappointed so far...http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/scott_weiland_and_stp_worked_apart_on_album.htmlHickory dickhotomy is really embarrassingly bad. I feel so uncomfortable during the verses, stupid lyrics, meaningless little twang. The thing that bugs me the most in the song is the section before the chorus where Scott adds this unnessary "Aaalriaight!!!" this song just rubs me the wrong way in a musical and listening sense.

appetite4illusions Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 "Bagman honey!"Kind of cool. Kind of weird. Kind of Mighty Joe Young. Kind of Libertad (especially in the breakdown "there was a dream..."). I hope the best is yet to come because they're all sort of tame in that Libertad way...

Its kinda cool and chill, but its just missing something. Sad to think BTL is the heaviest song thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiannaRose Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'm a very big fan of Stone Temple Pilots. I've been following the band for years. As far as musicianship and songwriting skills go, I believe this band to be one of the greatest American Rock N' Roll bands of the 1990s. Yet, I will not lie. The songs that I've heard so far from their new self-titled album have not impressed me at all. I sincerely hope I am wrong in the hope that the album will captivate me in the same way that previous STP albums have seduced me (so to speak).I just feel...underwhelmed...

Zint Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm strangely attracted to these songs and I wasn't expecting to be.There's kind of a vibe where bands were doing that mid 80's crossing over from the punk-side to the darker side of drugs n dregs LA-esque rock scene about them.So far... I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
