Tuesday is obviously the best lineup that week.

There's two videos in that link, and they are hilarious.  They get interviewed by two Germans who love classical music and find Soundgarden too loud and aggressive.  They also don't understand why Chris doesn't take care of his voice, why Matt doesn't play some simple rhythm, and why Ben takes bass to a more prominent role than simply just the traditional supporting role. 

Hilarious interview.  Even better when the interviewers don't get when the guys make fun of them.

Scott was never in rehab.  Scott was taking care of some personal issues.  STP are back to touring.  .

Forgive me for assuming! Rehab seems par for events and is a private thing unless its leaked. Or the celeb admits to it after the fact.

"frontman Scott Weiland has entered rehab for the ...okay we lost count...time."

Robert DeLeo, the bassist of the Stone Temple Pilots, is urging the band’s frontman Scott Weiland to seek help for his drug addiction.  Read more on Scott Weiland’s relapse below.

Weiland, who has previously battled alcohol and drugs, suffered a heroin relapse in late 2007, but said he kicked his addictions.

Weiland stated, “Heroin made me feel all right in my own skin. Before I did it I was uncomfortable going into crowds, which is interesting given my profession. But when I did dope, the fear went away. That’s why I hung on to it so long. But my kids fill up that hole now.”

But Weiland’s bandmate Robert DeLeo says he worries about his friend after he showed up two hours late for a recent photoshoot and interview with Spin magazine.  Weiland asked for four glasses of whiskey when he arrived.

DeLeo told Spin magazine, “He can’t got on tour. He needs help… He thinks he’s clean just because he’s not shooting heroin. But he’s popping pills.”

In September 2010, STP announced it was rescheduling several U.S. tour dates so that the band could take a "short break." This announcement comes a few days after Weiland said the following at a show in Houston, Texas: "I started drinking again. My brother died, I got divorced (from) my wife, and my whole world basically spun around. So you know what? I'm going to take care of myself because that's what I need to take care of. Instead of just having a few shows, I want to have a whole hell of a lot of shows."[12]

Dude, he was gone for like a week or two.  Rehab doesn't go that quick.

I heard a radio interview with Scott the other day. He was fucked up live. He's in bad shape again, I don't see Scott in VR, he's probably done with STP for awhile.

I hate it when music dvds do that.  Just let me watch the show and put the interviews in the special features menu. 

I have an Aerosmith dvd where they do that, and members of Aerosmith "post" the song like a radio dj. (talking over the musical intro until the lyrics start)

Drives me fucking nuts.

I fucking hate that too. There's ZERO point in it. Only a grandma would need some kind of shit feature like that.

That was prior to his short 'recovery.'  He now appears to be sober, has lost weight and is sounding better with STP live again.

Scott was never in rehab.  Scott was taking care of some personal issues.  STP are back to touring.  Though he's talked about taking a break after this tour and the band doesn't know if they're going to go record now.  The future of them seems uncertain. 

Maybe he'll wind up back in VR. 

Despite what people say about him, there's a reason Slash, Duff, Dave and Matt all picked him as their singer.  They auditioned tons of people prior and post Scott and he's the only one they've picked.  Besides Myles, pretty sure they'd hire him on.

This is kind of confusing, slash makes it sound like he's not offering cos he doesnt wanna be responsable for fucking up AB, but then the article makes it sound like Myles just says no. lol. Who knows.

TBH if he can take a year off AB for the solo album why can't he do it for VR, it's wierd.

Because his year off from Alter Bridge had a Creed reunion and they were working on an album during that time.

The new AB album just came out, so I expect he will be touring and supporting that a lot.  And it kinda sounds like VR are gonna keep looking for a singer now.

Eagle Vision has set a November 16 release date for the “Live In Houston” DVD from VELVET REVOLVER. Footage for the set was filmed in Houston, Texas in 2005 during the tour in support of the band’s debut album, “Contraband”. The full-length live tracks are intercut with snippets of interview with the various bandmembers talking about how VELVET REVOLVER came into being. The set list, naturally, focuses on that debut release but is complemented by two tracks from the GUNS N’ ROSES catalog and two songs from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS debut album, highlighting the history of the VR bandmembers.

“Live In Houston” track listing:

01. Sucker Train Blues
02. Do It For The Kids
03. Headspace
04. Crackerman
05. Illegal I
06. It’s So Easy
07. Fall To Pieces
08. Big Machine
09. Set Me Free
10. Used To Love Her
11. Slither
12. Sex Type Thing

VELVET REVOLVER guitarist Slash told BostonHerald.com last month that the search for a new frontman for the group will resume after he finishes his current solo tour, also insisting that his touring vocalist, Myles Kennedy, will not take the job. Kennedy will return to his band ALTER BRIDGE this month, while Slash will take the remaining months of 2010 to work on new music and go through audition tapes. VELVET REVOLVER has been dormant since April 2008, when the band dismissed original frontman Scott Weiland.

Slash told The Pulse of Radio that the band’s status hasn’t changed since. “Everybody asks the same question: ‘Where are you with that?’” he said. “It’s really, we’re nowhere until we can find somebody who can do that job. Very quietly I’ve had my ears to the pavement, trying to see if there’s anybody that fits that bill, and it’s got to be somebody really good, ’cause I don’t want to rush into it out of desperation. I want to wait ’til I get the right person.”

As for the possibility of enlisting Kennedy, Slash told BostonHerald.com, “Kennedy is still committed to ALTER BRIDGE. I don’t want to be the guy responsible for breaking up a band. But we’ll find someone. Maybe not somebody known, but some kind of local hero.”

Kennedy had actually been approached to sing for VELVET REVOLVER back in the early days of the group, and again after they parted ways with Weiland, but turned down the offer both times.

Awww dood. Alter Bridge  are a tight outfit

But way too generic for such a talented singer. 

It'd be like Axl fronting Poison.

The ending of Words Darker Than Their Wings is incredible. 

Myles needs to join a better band.
