A hypothetical question...
Let's say "Blaster" and CheSTP-album does about as well as HIG and AoA did sales wise and tour support. Do both parties immediately consider getting back together? Or would they most likely need that to happen for two full album cycles before entertaining the thought.
I'd think that due to LP's fan base, CheSTP has a better chance of striking than the bros did with Richard Patrick but then again, sales are already slumpish in this musical climate to begin with. And unless the record takes off, I don't see STP headlining festivals or radio shows, something that they would most likely do with Scott fronting.
