New Music: Stone Temple Pilots, "Between the Lines"

Stone Temple Pilots hasn't released an album since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da (and the group's separation soon after in '03).

Stone Temple Pilots hasn't released an album since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da (and the group's separation soon after in '03). During that time, frontman Scott Weiland joined Velvet Revolver, tried a second solo effort, and went to jail for DUI. It's the sort of rock-'n'-roll up and down story that is sure to inspire songs, and this May we'll hear the product of the band's nine-year hiatus when a reunited STP releases a new self-titled album. The guys have been slowly building anticipation with a SXSW appearance, and today comes the release of the first single, "Between the Lines."

In the fast-paced anthem, Weiland's voice is still on point as he winks at his own checkered past, singing, "You always were my favorite drug, even when we used to take drugs." The track also features a wicked guitar solo around the 1:50 mark, but overall, it doesn't really stack up to old favorites like "Vasoline" or "Plush." I'll give the album a fair shake to see what else the guys do. Give the single a listen when you read more

FABTV: Stone Temple Pilots, "Interstate Love Song"

Scott Weiland. Hot. I am a sucker for a man who sometimes flashes a bit of glam rock, be it nail polish, eyeliner, fire engine red hair, or a magenta chubby fur.

Scott Weiland. Hot. I am a sucker for a man who sometimes flashes a bit of glam rock, be it nail polish, eyeliner, fire engine red hair, or a magenta chubby fur. OK, maybe only a few guys can get away with wearing a magenta chubby fur, and Weiland is one of them. This song is so groovy and ideal for a road trip soundtrack. In this vid Weiland also dons a cowboy hat, sexy, and he was wearing his trademark bleach blond spikey hair. I wonder what Fab accessories Weiland will be wearing when I see him perform with his original bandmates this Summer?!
