I cannot even begin to emphasize how bizarre this is. Scott Weiland has gone the Rod Stewart route and has recorded an album of standards for you to listen to during the Christmas holiday.

Scott Weiland went a little too ‘Scott Weiland’ during a Stone Temple Pilots’ concert in Houston on Sunday. Following the show, and Weiland’s display of erratic stage behavior, the band has announced they’ll reschedule a dozen tour dates so the recently reunited quartet can have a short break then resume around mid-October in Florida.
No specific reason was given for the tour switch-up, but Weiland’s on-stage banter was described as ‘odd and confusing’ by a Houston Press reviewer, and perhaps a quick break from the road is in order.

There’s no doubt about it; Scott Weiland will go down in history as one of the 90′s best vocalists and front men. If anyone says otherwise, I’m more than willing to get out of my comfortable lounge chair and go toe-to-toe in a verbal beat-down as to why he is in fact the man. However, the term “behind every great man is a great women” would remain the same – with an arsenal of talented musicians backing his every move in Stone Temple Pilots & Velvet Revolver, it’s easy to forget that Scott Weiland has some incredibly talented music makers behind his vocal cords.
