STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Don't Want To Hurt Scott Weiland, But He Must Pay The Consequences - Statement Available!
As previously reported, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS have a NEW lead vocalist. That's right, Chester Bennington of LINKIN PARK has replaced the bands legendary but unreliable vocalist Scott Weiland.
As previously announced, the remaining members of STP - Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz - are suing Weiland for unspecified damages. Why? Read the bands official statement:
"You may have read we recently filed suit against our former singer, Scott Weiland. We wanted to clarify a few things:
Our purpose in taking this action is not to hurt Scott. We want to move forward productively, and Scott’s choices and actions have prevented us from doing that. We were in the process of putting our 20th anniversary tour together to celebrate the release of our first album, Core. The plan was for a big tour where we’d perform the album in its entirety, along with some other favorite STP songs. So, you might imagine our shock and disappointment when, without any notice, we learned that Scott had seized this tour for himself as his solo tour, and decided to do exactly what we as a group had planned. We found out about it the same way you did—we saw an ad for it.
Without getting into legal details, the band has a binding agreement that clearly states what each of us can and cannot do outside of STP. Unfortunately many of the decisions Scott made violate this agreement, have been harmful to the band, and prevented us from moving forward. When our requests to Scott and his representatives that they abide by the agreement were ignored, we finally had enough. So now, we’ve made our choice. It was beyond time we made some new music, which was impossible in the dysfunctional environment we were in. We’ve lived in it long enough and have decided to move forward with STP. We wish Scott well. We’re really excited about the new music we’ve been making with Chester, including the song we just released, “Out of Time.”
We love this band and respect everything it means to you. We want to always give you our best and the choice we made is completely in that spirit."
- Dean, Eric & Robert

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Sue Scott Weiland Due To "Unspecified Damages" - Details Available!
As previously reported, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS have a NEW lead vocalist. That's right, Chester Bennington of LINKIN PARK has replaced the bands legendary but unreliable vocalist Scott Weiland.
Up until now the other members of the band - Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz - didn't explain why they decided to fire Weiland. Well, according to TMZ and Billboard, the DeLeo brothers and Eric Kretz, are suing Weiland for unspecified damages. Why? Well, they are claiming in their lawsuit that Weiland sabotaged the bands 20th anniversary tour by being consistently late for performances and missing promotional gigs. The band are also claiming that the singer’s plan was to “hijack” to tour, to the point he wouldn’t even communicate with band members in an effort to “seize all the glory.”
There is more! The band also want the court to force Weiland to stop calling himself a former member of the band, stating that they own the songs, copyrights and trademarks (not Weiland). “Enough is enough,” the band’s lawsuit reportedly states. “Without relief from the court, Weiland will continue violating STP’s rights, misappropriating STP assets and interfering with the band’s livelihood.”
Weiland posted the following letter earlier this week, following the bands decision to replace him with Bennington:
“A letter to my fans,
Like everybody else out there, I read about my band, Stone Temple Pilots, and their recent performance this past weekend with a new singer. To tell you the truth, it took me by surprise. And it hurt. But the band that played last weekend was not Stone Temple Pilots and it was wrong of them to present themselves as that.
First of all they don’t have the legal right to call themselves STP because I’m still a member of the band. And more importantly, they don’t have the ethical right to call themselves Stone Temple Pilots because it’s misleading and dishonest to the millions of fans that have followed us for so many years. When I tour on my own, it’s never as Stone Temple Pilots. It’s as Scott Weiland. The fans deserve to know what they’re getting.
Like any band that’s stood the test of time and made music for more than two decades, STP had a special alchemy – the four of us together were greater than any one of us apart. So if my former bandmates want to tour with a new singer, that’s their prerogative. I don’t give a fuck what they call themselves, but it’s not Stone Temple Pilots.
And so I say to you, our fans, I’ll see you out there on the road this summer where I’m touring as ‘Scott Weiland’ with my band The Wildabouts. But don’t give up on STP. I know I haven’t."

Former IRON MAIDEN Drummer Clive Burr Passes Away (RIP)
Major bummer! IRON MAIDEN have confirmed the death of their former drummer Clive Burr. Our condolences go out to his family, friends, fans, and everyone at the MAIDEN camp. A statement from MAIDEN follows:
"We are deeply saddened to report that Clive Burr passed away last night. He had suffered poor health for many years after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and died peacefully in his sleep at home.
Steve Harris said “This is terribly sad news. Clive was a very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days when we were starting out. This is a sad day for everyone in the band and those around him and our thoughts and condolences are with his partner Mimi and family at this time."
Bruce Dickinson adds “I first met Clive when he was leaving Samson and joining Iron Maiden. He was a great guy and a man who really lived his life to the full. Even during the darkest days of his M.S., Clive never lost his sense of humour or irreverence. This is a terribly sad day and all our thoughts are with Mimi and the family”
As Maiden fans all know, Clive joined Maiden in 1979 and performed on the first three albums Iron Maiden (1980), Killers (1981) and The Number Of The Beast (1982).
Prior to that he was a member of Samson, the band Bruce fronted before he too joined Maiden."
ROCK IN PEACE Mr. Burr, you will be deeply missed!

Former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Frontman Scott Weiland Challenges Fan To A Fight - Video Available!
This past Saturday, March 9, former STONE TEMPLE PILOTS vocalist Scott Weiland (Weiland was recently fired from STP) was provoked by a fan during his solo show at the legendary Irving Plaza in New York City. Weiland instead of ignoring the fan, took matters upon himself and challenged the guy to a fight. The incident took place while Weiland was performing with THE WILDABOUTS (Weiland's solo band).
"So you're fucking pulling that fucking, like, gun shit off on me? Then come up and meet me one on one, man. You play a tough guy from an audience behind a barricade. I'd love to. Yeah, that guy, trust me.
"I just don't get it. Guys like you fucking waste your money." Then he added to the security staff: "Actually, let him stay here and just get all fucking riled up. He won’t be able to sleep tonight."
Video of the incident can be viewed HERE!

Scott Weiland Is In Denial After Getting Fired From STONE TEMPLE PILOTS
Recently, Stone Temple Pilots announced that they "have officially terminated Scott Weiland - no further information is available at this time."
Scott Weiland seems to be in denial and says that the bands announcement is part of a publicity stunt:
“There are some issues that have to be worked out with STP. But they’re the same issues that have been going on since the end of the last tour. Nobody in the band can be fired. No one’s ever fired anybody, and no one’s ever quit the band.”
He further went on to state:
“[STP] really have been together a long time, and I’m proud of that. I really do like those guys, and it hurts my feelings when we aren’t getting along, because I view them as family.”
Weiland is on a solo tour in which he is currently performing songs from the first two STONE TEMPLE PILOTS albums, 1992's 'Core' and 1994's 'Purple', during his solo tour.
It's unclear if STONE TEMPLE PILOTS plan on carrying on with a new vocalist. Stay tuned for more news.

Scott Weiland Responds To His Supposed "Termination" From STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!
Earlier today, this message took over the Internet: "Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland - no further information is available at this time."
Scott Weiland made the following statement after this piece of news surfaced:
"I learned of my supposed 'termination' from STONE TEMPLE PILOTS this morning by reading about it in the press. Not sure how I can be 'terminated' from a band that I founded, fronted and co-wrote many of its biggest hits, but that's something for the lawyers to figure out. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to seeing all of my fans on my solo tour which starts this Friday."
Weiland will be performing songs from the first two STONE TEMPLE PILOTS albums, 1992's 'Core' and 1994's 'Purple', during his solo tour.
"Originally, it was an idea I came up with for STP for the anniversary of 'Core' to do the 'Core' album in its entirety," Weiland told MLive. "The rest of the guys didn't want to do it. So, it was still something that there was a lot of public interest in. Having that said, the idea was brought up to me through management. I talked to the guys in my solo band, THE WILDABOUTS, and they were totally into it, as were the promoters. It worked out."
It's unclear if STONE TEMPLE PILOTS plan on carrying on with a new vocalist. Stay tuned for more news.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS Wave Good Bye To Scott Weiland!
So how relevant is STONE TEMPLE PILOTS in today's music world? Good question ah? After trying to return to the musical spectrum various times, they were never able to pick were they left off. Many point the finger at Scott Weiland's erratic behavior throuhgout the years due to his drug addiction. The band hit rock bottom at their last show in the Fall of 2002 when vocalist Scott Weiland and guitarist Dean De Leo had an altercation. The band would never be the same. STP last reformed in 2008 after a five year hiatus and toured heavily through last year.
They lost a lot of respect from their fans, when the band's claim of putting together a fall tour in order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 'Core' was nothing but a false promise. Then at a show in Abbotsford, British Columbia, STP took the stage nearly two hours after their scheduled time, and cut their set 30 minutes short, angering many fans. The following day, the band released a brief statement announcing that that night's show in Lethbridge, Alberta was cancelled due to Scott Weiland being ordered to go on "48 hours complete vocal rest due to strained vocal cords."
By apparent coincidence, Rolling Stone spoke with Scott Weiland late yesterday (February 26) and he denied all rumors that he had been fired from the band. "STP has not broken up," he said. "I haven't quit. I haven't been fired." The rumors began a couple of months ago when Slash said in an interview that STP had fired Weiland.
"Slash doesn't know anything about STP," Weiland countered yesterday. "We're talking right now about when we want to tour next."
Well, apparently SLASH was right. The band just posted the following statement:
"Stone Temple Pilots have announced they have officially terminated Scott Weiland - no further information is available at this time."
It's unclear if they plan on carrying on with a new vocalist. Stay tuned for more news.
UPDATE: Scott Weiland responds to this piece of news!

A heartless concert goer “seriously burned and disfigured” a young girl in the crowd at SOUNDWAVE Festival!
This should never happen! According to MusicFeeds.com, a member of the audience at Soundwave 2013 in Sydney smuggled in a magnesium flare, and the ignited it in the middle of the crowd during either METALLICA's set or Bring Me The Horizon's set, and “seriously burned and disfigured” a young girl in the crowd, according to promoter AJ Maddah.
Reports are unclear at this stage but it seems that there were TWO flares lit tonight at Soundwave Sydney, one during each bands set.
As expected, AJ has launched an all-out assault on this idiot, calling for blood. “Dear piece of shit who lit the flare in BMTH pit: Tonight you seriously burned and disfigured a young girl. I hope you fucking get yours,” he tweets.
Twitter user @DanielTome tweeted, “Some idiot just lighted a flare during Metallica #soundwave he got hosed down.”
Maddah is calling for action from Soundwave attendees: “If anyone can correctly identify this son of a bitch I will shower you with so much tickets, backstage and cash you wont know what to do.” He also asks those who see anyone with a lit flare to take a photo and pass it on to him so he can give it to the authorities.
At this stage, there is no news on the condition of the girl, other than that she has been “seriously burned and disfigured” with a “massive, awful burn on her forearm”.
Know more? Let AJ know on Twitter.
Note: AJ is already tweeting he has “multiple angles” of the alleged perpetrator. Keep them coming!
Here are some images and video footage of this absurd incident: http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/breaking-audience-member-lights-flare-disfigures-girl-at-soundwave-2013/

THE FACELESS' Drummer Lyle Cooper Puts His Sticks Down & Leaves The Band - Official Statement Available!
This just in: THE FACELESS drummer Lyle Cooper has left the band. Here is his official statement:
"I figured I'd clear up the about my status with The Faceless.
"After almost five years with the band I've decided to part ways. Over the last couple of years it seemed that the interests, goals and musical approach of the band was not that of my own. Also, managerial issues became too frequent with no resolution.
"These issues, I felt, made it hard for me as an individual to produce as a creative and enthusiastic member.
"I'm sure that proceeding my departure, the band will have no trouble finding someone with the right mindset and talents to step in and keep the band moving forward.
"Thank you to the fans and everyone who supported The Faceless throughout the years. I wish the band and its members nothing but continued success and make sure you catch them on their upcoming tours. I will be pursuing my other musical projects so out for NEW Absvrdist and Abhorrent this year"

Although LAMB OF GOD was forced to cancel their summer co-headline tour with Dethklok and special guests Gojira, the band performed at SLIPKNOT's "KnotFest".

LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe: "The first thing I noticed was four or five really large men with guns and great pig pointy knives, pistols and face-masks."
As previously reported, LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe spent five weeks incarcerated in a Prague, Czech Republic prison. Blythe was released on a $400,000 bail and was able to return to the United States on Friday, August 3rd. Although LAMB OF GOD was forced to cancel their summer co-headline tour with Dethklok and special guests Gojira, the band performed at SLIPKNOT's "KnotFest". The series of events took place on Friday, August 17th in Council Bluffs, Iowa and Saturday, August 18th in Somerset, Wisconsin. The band has already announced a full blown U.S. tour (due to Blythe's legal situation, the band won't be going to Canada). Full details below.
Metal Hammer, recently conducted an in-depth interview with Blythe (Order the issue HERE!). A few excerpts of the interview follow:
“It still didn’t sink in that something weird was happening with my band, but as soon as I got to the top of the ramp, the first thing I noticed was four or five really large men with guns and great pig pointy knives, pistols and facemasks. All you could see was their eyes and their mouths and they looked like they were there to apprehend a terrorist.
“After a minute this woman goes, ‘Mr Blythe’, and I said, ‘Yes?’ and she’s looking at my passport, then she hands me a piece of paper that said I was to be charged with…well..we’re using the term ‘manslaughter’ because it’s the nearest translation in English. It said I was to be charged with, what I think in English would be, GBH, grievous bodily harm with malicious intent resulting in someone’s death.
“I was in the car with three plain-clothes homicide detectives, and one of them sort of spoke English, but not very well, and he started asking me, ‘So, what do you remember of this incident?’ Very conversationally. I was like, ‘You know, I really don’t know what’s happening right now so I want a lawyer’. When they hand you a piece of paper that says you’re being charged with manslaughter you know you aren’t just going to answer a few questions then walk out the door.”
Metal fans in prison:
“One of the guards who drove me was a metalhead. He knew who I was. He was like, ‘I’m sorry you have to be here. I like Finntroll and Rammstein.’ It’s a remand prison, so a little less than half the prisoners there are awaiting sentence and the rest are serving time, but I believe they’re mixed together. It’s a prison, not a jail, but from what I understood, the super-violent offenders were kept in their own ward.”
Ticket links for all shows are below:
This weekend (September 21, 22) tickets for 36 of the 38 shows on the
fall LAMB OF GOD tour will go on sale. The Atlanta show and the Kansas
City show will go on sale the following weekend (September 28, 29). As

Randy Blythe Needs Our Help: LAMB OF GOD Launch eBay Memorabilia Auction For Blythe's Defense Fund!
While LAMB OF GOD singer Randy Blythe is back home in America after five weeks in prison in the Czech Republic, his legal problems are far from over. Manslaughter charges are still hanging over Blythe and at some point over the next few months he will have to return to Prague and stand trial. Faced with continuing massive legal bills, LAMB OF GOD has decided to create an eBay auction of equipment and memorabilia to raise money for Randy’s legal bills. All equipment was either used on tour or in the recording studio or in a video. The auction features items provided by all five members of LAMB OF GOD.
In addition, a number of musicians have offered equipment to be used in the auction. Guitars have been donated by Machine Head’s Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel as well as Slash and Five Finger Death Punch. Megadeth’s David Ellefson and Five Finger Death Punch’s Chris Kael have each contributed a bass and the members of Five Finger Death Punch also have contributed a signed skateboard.
Justice Now, the site set up for donations, will remain open for those wishing to donate to Randy’s defense fund. The band appreciates all of the support Randy has received since his arrest on June 28th and is thankful for all of the donations that have been made in these tough economic times. As stated before, without the fans, there is no LAMB OF GOD.
As previously reported, LAMB OF GOD is busy rescheduling a canceled U.S. tour for October. According to Lambgoat, the first announced date of the tour, in Phoenix, AZ at Comerica Theater on October 30th. Unfortunately, DETHKLOK and GOJIRA won't be joining LAMB OF GOD this time around. But get this: HATEBREED, IN FLAMES and SYLOSIS will be part of what promises to be an epic tour. More details coming soon!
