MTV News has issued the following report from Chris Harris:
They reunited for a successful run of summer gigs and they've even been writing new material - but, according to frontman SCOTT WEILAND, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS' future plans are still very much up in the air, given that two of the band's members have been sued by their old record label, Atlantic Records.
"It's pretty f---ed up, actually," Weiland told MTV News last week. "I don't know who we would record for. I'm not into recording for Atlantic Records, and there are some legal issues there. Originally, I was told - and I was told for years - that we were free from Atlantic. I don't know how it is that [bassist] Dean [DeLeo] and [guitarist] Robert [DeLeo] are free from [Atlantic], and [drummer] Eric [Kretz] and I are not. I have no interest in making a record for a major label. If we were going to make a record, I would want to do it in a way that was much more original and in a more creative fashion."Read the full report at MTV News.
