Tours of Note: Stone. Temple. Pilots.
April 3rd, 2008 - by Eddie
Apparently, it’s time to get back on heroin.
The 90’s grunge band Stone Tempe Pilots have announced a summer tour and possibly more (their website states that the band returns on April 7).
I remember when I was a kid and I heard about random bands getting back together and thinking “Who the fuck are they?” Even back then, I knew it was all for the sweet dolla dolla bill y’all.
Truthfully, I am excited to hear some of the old favorites from this band like “Plush,” “Creep,” and “Sex Type Thing.”
But it’s hard to ignore that this comes on the heels of Scott Weiland getting tossed from Velvet Revolver. Is this a form of revenge? Will there be a thunderdome fight between STP and VR? Or did Weiland take enough drugs to mentally travel back in time (a la “Lost”) to 1994 when they still had fans?
Anyway, here are the tour dates. If you live in these towns and can’t make the show, you may be able to catch Weiland in your local jail.
