Slash wants nothing to do with him, and why would he? Him and Myles do just fine together, and without all the drama and BS that would come along with Weiland.
B/c Slash is an awful songwriter on his own. His solo ventures are about as boring as it gets.
Slash loves being the star of the show so I don't see VR getting Weiland back, but he needs other people around to push him to make it sound at least a little unique or actually good.
Chester is a poor choice to replace Weiland, and that's all that really needs to be said.
weird weird....their website is up there with photos, tour dates...really weird...the new song is ok, Chester is trying his best to copy Scott..im sure the tour will be good too.

I love the full album Slash did with Myles...it's not groundbreaking but it's fun, which is really all I want out of someone like Slash

Myles is the go to guy for bands with pain the ass lead singers. He can do passable versions of other people's songs and I imagine is a nice guy who gets along and is happy to be there and get paid. If Slash is happy just touring then Myles is the guy for sure. If he wants to have a big album and some songs on the radio he needs Scott and Scott needs him cause that Chester hire was a major get and power play for the other guys in STP. Chester is no Scott but he is bringing a huge audience with him. They might get a lot of traction out of this pairing.

Slash's songs do just fine on the radio with Myles, Myles is one of the best voices in rock today and he and Slash work well together
as for Chester with STP, I picture a lot of people having the same opinion I do of this pairing...
Chester has always sounded like Beavis, and on this new song, he sounds more like Beavis than ever before

I've never heard a Slash solo track on the radio. I'd imagine he gets some play on local station when his band is coming to town, but let's not act like it's getting the same push that Velvet Revolver would get.
I'm not excited about this schmuck fronting STP, but he does bring alot of fans that will pretty well blindly crank it at douche gatherings just b/c he's involved. If there's one thing I've learned in my years of trashing horrible music, it's that Linkin Park fanboys are really defensive when it comes to Chester, so I assume they'll be supportive. Look at the bright side, it'll probably the coolest shit they'll ever listen to.

True...and the fact the guys in STP have such a strong personality singing with them, i imagine they are pretty happy with it..they even have promo shots.

Yeah for STP it's a win for the business side of things....not so much artistically. I could be wrong maybe they'll surprise us assuming they do an album and this isn't just a one off show and song. Is Linkin Park still together?

He sounds great when he's straight. He's just far past the age where he can sing on substances and pull it off. He never was a screamer his voice should hold up fine.
I don't know much about STP history, but if the Deleo Bros. came up with the name and then brought in Weiland when they started up then I can understand where they are coming from.
Anyone remember Talk Show before No 4? They handled it in a totally different way that time. That was a pretty horrible band name though. Maybe if someone came up with a halfway decent band name for them they would relinquish the STP moniker?
it is very weird...well see if its something else or just a some shows and a single. The website makes it very clear, this is Stone Temple Pilots....
i agree they should have a different name, in the other hand it could weird too to play the whole stp catalog with a different name.
i just cant understand why these guys and Weiland dont just get along fine...i mean , even if Scott is a mess he has been doing great shows and writing music...its weird.
