Cool! TV appearances coming up and all that good stuff! Can't wait.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks, AH.

This:

Weiland recognizes, however, that the "onus is really on touring, because basically only country music sells CDs anymore." His words reflect a growing concern among veteran acts like Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails that have questioned whether aligning with a major label in a digital age is the savviest business decision.

along with the fact that Rob and Kristen are expecting baby number two in May makes me wonder about the future of this band.  I can't help but wonder if this isn't the last hurrah - the "final bookend" to the STP saga.  

If last year's tour brought them $9,000,000 - they must be thinking that a new album and even longer tour will have them set.

Other than that - great interview, good find!!

"I don't think a teenager is necessarily walking around saying, 'The Stone Temple Pilots is my favorite band,' "

Actually, that's not true.

Hopefully I can make it to the Kimmel show on May 25th. My friend's dad's friend is the audio engineer and I may be able to meet them, or at least the DeLeos and Eric.

I'm going to see TCV on the 12th with my friend so I'm pretty sure we'll get to meet them.

Holy promotional avenues Bagman!  This release is the oppsite of Shangrim  that had no promo & no hype.

 Im no to crazy about hearing STP tunes on those lame Vampire shows but whatever.  Looks like STP wil be making an impact with this.  Is this article going to be in Billboard magazine?

True Blood is actually gory and kickass...the rest are indeed horrible

Youtube and MySpace streaming shows, broadcasts-- and maybe even DVDs-- from Chicago and SXSW,  appearances on Letterman and Kimmel, plus content on Rock Band and Guitar Hero... Holy shit!

Oh, and by the way STP has been my favorite band since I was 13. So there are teenagers walking around saying "STP is my favorite band".

They meant current teenagers, not teenagers 20 years removed

All the info made my day. I was hoping that they'd play Letterman. I still have hope that they'll play SNL once again.

I'm so pumped for this, I'm glad this album will be promoted and STP will be in the spotlight again!  Also touring til possibly 2012!  WOW!  I'm going to see them a shit load of times on this tour.

STP need to scam their ways onto the season finale of SNL.
