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.

CNN Entertainment has a great article about all the rock and roll autobiographies in the bookstores this holiday season. Of course, I’m buying the Eric Clapton book first, but there’s also new titles from these great (and not so great) artists…
Currently Available:
Bob Dylan (from 2004)
Genesis (currently on tour)
Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue)
Ronnie Wood (Faces & Rolling Stones)
Slash (Velvet Revolver & Guns & Roses)
Sting (The Police)
Publishing Soon:
Axl Rose
Gram Parsons
Keith Richards
Pete Townshend
There’s a kicker to this article too…Keith Richards was paid $7 million for his story, but Mick Jagger was actually offered a book deal first. Only he couldn’t remember anything to write about!
