It should come as no surprise that Chester Bennington has split (amicably) from STP. He was just spread too thin being the lead singer of two bands. Oddly, it was Scott Weiland who broke the news the other day, with STP confirming it today.

What does the band do now? They say they have a number of songs recorded and have auditioned other singers over the last while. Not sure if that means the recorded material is with Chester or with a new singer. STP has proven to be quite uninteresting without Scott at the mic.

Talk Show?
Army of Anyone?

I enjoyed both those records, but the record-buying public thought otherwise. It would seem the Deleo brothers abandon any project that proves commercially unsuccessful.

I hear Weiland is available. Third times a charm.

    I'll take another Weiland STP album for sure. No need for a tour though, unless he gets his act together
    “I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”

    Last album with Weiland was awesome! I'd love another one from Army of Anyone as well.

    Maybe they need Axl Rose. You know you want it.

    They'd be nuts to take Weiland back. Bring back Army of Anyone.

    also the only problem with bringing back Army of Anyone is that Richard Patrick still has Filter. They are working on a new album. which hopefully will come out next year.

    Ok, this kind of made me laugh. But I don't know why and that bugs me!

    Oh that would be such rich irony if he filled that big empty void. :lol:

    And he will fill it because he's so fat now. :rofl:

    He looked a bit chubby about 15 years ago. He is a normally fit person now, and has been for several years. Not that anyone is childish enough to make fun of someone's weight.

    I just think it would be cool to have Axl sing with STP for a bizarro Velvet Revolver project.

    Maybe "Burlap Semi-Auto"?

    I don't remember hearing about how chubby he was until those memes about him came out around Chinese Democracy.

    When he played live for the first time at some MTV awards show in about 2000, everyone was agast at his weight gain. Not to mention the corn rows.

    Anyone else starting to wonder if the problem is with the Deleo brothers and not scott? They've broken up with Weiland three times and split with two other singers. STP is the new Van Halen!

    no, weiland was a druggie and a drunk, and they had to pitch him. Richard Patrick said he would be more than happy to do AoA again if time permitted, and I don't know about Dave Coutts. he just fell off the earth. And Chester just plain out didn't have the time to devote to STP, and they split amicably.

    maybe they'd give weiland another shot if he could stay sober for an elongated period of time, but man, after that much time and bullshit, you just say "fuck it".

    Less than 6 months ago Weiland looked like he'd fallen off the wagon again. Granted his Walkabouts? guitarist died, but still. There's a vid of him looking/sounding awful. When he's together he's fucking brilliant. Talented as they come. I liked the last STP record too, so they clearly have the chemistry when Weiland is clean & sober IMO.

    well this thread was bad timing. RIP Scott. obviously this means no more original STP or VR.
