In the past few months, SCOTT WEILAND has said goodbye to VELVET REVOLVER and hello to the STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, and on November 25, he's hoping to reintroduce himself to the public as a solo artist with his album, Happy In Galoshes.
The singer says he's, well, 'happy' with the record, claiming that it's the first time he hasn't felt beholden to anybody during the artistic process.
"There's no rules, I don't have to worry about radio playing it," he says. "At my age, I just do what I wanna do. There's art and there's commerce, and I've already accomplished the commerce part of my career."Read more here.
