Velvet Revolver’s loss is Stone Temple Pilots gain, along with ours.
Rock singer Scott Weiland, who was either booted from or bolted from Velvet Revolver, is back where he belongs in Stone Temple Pilots. And you can catch him with that outfit June 8 at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater.
You can’t get tickets yet; the show’s not even officially announced by the venue. But the date and venue are on the tour’s schedule.
And that’s why I can already hear “Big Bang Baby,” “Vaseline,” and “Interstate Love Song” ringing in my ears.

Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade.
AWESOME! STP was one of the best rock bands of the 90’s. Scott needs to realize that it’s never gonna get better than playing with the The DeLeo brothers. I’ll take STP over Velvet Revolver any day! Can’t wait for this show…
