It did not take long for the firing of Scott Weiland from Velvet Underground to turn into an announcement that the Stone Temple Pilots have put together a North American 65 city tour.

The Tour will kick off at Rock On The Range Festival in Columbus, OH on May 17. Check the Ticketmaster website for the schedule and ticket availablitlity.

Of course this also opens up all kinds of rumors about a Guns & Roses reunion since Velvet Revolver has 3/4 of the original members of GNR, but I would not expect this to happen. The split of GNR was pretty ugly and it would require Slash and Axl Rose to bury the hatchet.
