Each group is performing a full set in a different order each night. The North American amphitheater trek began on July 18 in Nashville and is hitting an additional 19 cities over six weeks before concluding in Phoenix, Arizona on September 2. STP recently did its first round of dates in support of the new album and has joined forces with BUSH and THE CULT for the first time for the "tri-headlining" "Revolution 3 Tour". Gutt made his live debut with the band last November in Los Angeles. STP's self-titled seventh studio effort was released on March 16 and is the band's first with Gutt. And I feel like it was less about me it was more about honoring Scott and honoring Chester and everyone that has ever been involved in STP and making sure that it just kept going the way it should." 'Cause my whole thing was helping them continue their journey. Jeff: "It was full freedom, but I felt the responsibility of making sure it was an STP record at the end of the day. On how much freedom Jeff had during the songwriting process for STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' new album: I mean, it's not rocket science in a way we just get up there, turn up, try to play great and not die in the process." And he was really great at just jumping in with pseudo lyrics and just hopping in with great melodies and harmonies. 'Cause we're writing all the time - someone comes up with a riff and we just jump on it and try a few changes. For writing the new material, he was always on top of his game stuff came out really quick. On what advice the other members of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS gave Jeff during the audition process:Įric: "I don't think we gave him any advice. But I could have came in and hacked it up, but thank God I didn't." And, obviously, they wrote the music, so it's gonna sound like STP no matter what.
I had to figure out what my capabilities were and how to keep it STP and stay myself at the same time but still have that familiarity. I won't go into it all and bore everybody, but… there's a lot that went into it. Jeff: "There's a lot of things that went into it. On preparing for being the lead singer in STONE TEMPLE PILOTS: It just kind of fell into place and it was very organic and it was very real." But they put in the time in writing a lot of the stuff before I even got there. On the making of STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' latest, self-titled album: A couple of excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). After a long time apart, the group reunited in 2008 for a tour and released a swan song/comeback album in 2010.WGRD's Tommy Carroll recently conducted an interview with STONE TEMPLE PILOTS drummer Eric Kretz and vocalist Jeff Gutt. Two years later, a 6x platinum followup, “Purple,” did nearly as well. Stone Temple Pilots’ 1993 debut album, “Core,” got the group off to a heady start, being certified for 8 million in U.S. Williams told THR the filmmakers plan to be in contact “with those closest to Scott to get the details right,” and that they have access to previously unreleased music for the film. “We’ve been approached many times about Scott’s story,” David Vigliano, founder-CEO of Vigliano Associates, which handles Weiland’s estate, said in a statement to THR, “and when this team came to us with their vision for a film, it felt right.” His childhood had a big effect on his struggles with addiction,” Dark Pictures co-founder Anne Beagan said in a statement. “Scott was glamorous, complicated and wounded. In December of 2015, the rocker - who’d also gone on to co-found another popular group, the all-star Velvet Revolver - was on tour with his latest outfit, Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts, when he died of what was declared to be a mixed drug toxicity, exacerbated by other health conditions. Implicit among all those accolades about the late rocker is that he repeatedly made headlines over the year for the more troubled aspects of his life, which included well-known bouts with heroin before he cleaned up for some time later in his career.
