    I'm sure it's online, but I read it in the Blender Mag. with Kelly Clarkson on the cover. It was about a 3 page article. Good read BTW.


    The fact that he is even acknowledging this while Velvet Revolver is pushing their second album could be trouble for the future of that band.

    I just read the interview with Scott in the new Blender. He said he is open to a reunion, but he just doesn't have the time right now. He is working on another solo album, not to mention all the Velvet Revolver stuff. He also mentions that he has made ammends with the STP boys, and would like to do another album with them.
    That would make me open the wallet much quicker than another Velvet Revolver record........besides I have not purchased the second record by VR as of yet.

    That is far and away the best news I've had in over a month. And even though I love STP, that just illustrates how shitty the last month has been for me.

    It's also a very interesting album, Scott really tried a good few different things out on that album.

    I'm so happy to see some people agreeing with me this time around...in the other STP threads i was all alone!

    AMEN! Core was a coat tails album. It was alright but in comparison to Purple and beyond...its very amateur.

    While I do think that there are some superb tracks on Core, I kind of have the same feelings towards it that I do towards Ten (and this is not to compare STP to PJ, just making an analogy): both sound dated. I get nostalgic listening to the songs, and I definitely don't turn them off when they come on, but its just no nearly as interesting as some of their work after. The songs aren't fresh at all anymore. If I ever put on STP it's usually Tiny Music or Purple.

    agreed.. as great as the songs are live the production on the actual albums make it sound dated I think..... Purple and VS. however are timeless classics

    Been listening to the new VR lately...it's a pretty strong album, about on par with Contraband IMO. Still, Weiland was in his prime when he wrote the songs on Purple, and No. 4 was amazing as well.

    I was just thinking that it's really amazing how overlooked Shang was. That is a brilliant album, and it hardly got any praise at the time, and it doesn't get much now. Queenie, Transmissions, Dumb Love, and Song for Sleeping are all so well-done.

    Queenie, Transmissions, Bi-Polar Bear, Wonderful, Coma, Hello It's Late. Are all among some of the best songs to come out in the last 10 years.

    Bi-Polar Bear and Hello, it's late show you just how good Weiland is at writing Beautiful melodies.

    He should go solo and play that type of stuff.

    Those last three posts warmed my heart...that's the kind of stuff I was saying back when I first got into STP (about a year and a half ago) and NOBODY was agreeing with me on that. Thrilled to see some other Shangri lovers.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    Yup, Shangri is a solid album, one of my favorites from STP.

    If you haven't already you should check out "12 Bar Blues"...Scott's solo album...some really unique music that exemplifies how good a musician he really is.
    was it?....

    I think12bar blues coulda been a good album but just sounds tinny and unfinished.

    I was one of the ones in the "STP is a grunge rip-off band" crowd. Not so much that they copied PJ or whoever, but because I thought their ambitions and ideals weren't grunge or alternative or whatever. I don't hate them like I used to, but that stigmata has never been erased in my mind and haven't ever given them a serious chance.
