  • Ukraine and 5 Other (Band) Situations Bound to Fall Apart: The Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines and Everything Scott Weiland

    Good news out of Eastern Europe today, as a group of the continent's leaders announced that a ceasefire had been reached between the government of Ukraine and the rebellious faction in the southeast of the country. You can probably hedge bets that shots will be fired soon enough however. After all, the last time the parties arrived at a ceasefire (September of 2014), it had collapsed by the end of the year. Other things that won't be surprising when they collapse: The reunions of these beloved bands.

  • Stone Temple Pilots's Scott Weiland Announces Album Release Date, Solo Tour [SCHEDULE]

    Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland has announced the release date of his upcoming album "Blaster" as well as a string of tour dates in support of the album beginning in late February. According to an interview with "Rolling Stone," "Blaster" is set for release March 31 through Softdrive Records and will be Weiland's first album with his new backing band The Wildabouts. The tour in support of "Blaster" kicks off Feb. 22 in Scottsdale, Arizona, and finishes March 14 in Boston, though Weiland will be appearing at several festivals between March and May as well. "Blaster" will be Weiland's third solo album overall, his first since 2008's "'Happy' in Galoshes," as well as his first since being fired from the Stone Temple Pilots in 2013 — he was ultimately replaced by Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. "'"Happy" in Galoshes' was an experimental art record, for the most part," Weiland tells "Rolling Stone." "'Blaster' is definitely a band sound: a stripped down, furry sound with a lot of space between the notes. But it's tight and to-the-point while keeping that garage rock vibe to it."

  • Bands-That-Scott-Weiland-Was-Once-In UPDATES: New Music for Stone Temple Pilots, New Vocalist for Velvet Revolver?

    Have you ever listened to an album featuring Scott Weiland? Odds are that he's no longer the vocalist in that group. And, as much as people like to give Weiland crap for substance abuse issues, being a diva, and general melodrama, it can't be denied that the success of his bands normally hinge on his being in them. The Stone Temple Pilots, although actually the brainchild of the DeLeo brothers, went nine years between albums the last time Weiland was on hiatus. Velvet Revolver, which Weiland (and Weiland alone) announced finished, hasn't put out an album since 2007. 2013 might mark the year both bands get back on their feet however.
