Scott Weiland Recording 2nd Solo Album

by acostill on April 28th, 2008

Despite getting back together with STP, Scott Weiland is already looking forward to his second solo album.

While on the Howard Stern show, Weiland announced that he was working on the album with legendary producer Steve Albini (he’s worked with the Pixies, Page & Plant, PJ Harvey and Nirvana). Also, Weiland revealed that No Doubt’s Adrian Young would be appearing as the album’s drummer.

As of now, there is no other info, but I did read that November is the expected release date, so we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m looking forward to this album, it should be interesting.

And, if anyone is concerned about this affecting anything in STP, you have have nothing to fear.

The first reason is that the guys in STP did various projects and still stuck together for a few more years. Scott had his first solo album, 12 Bar Blues, while the other guys did the Talk Show project. Plus, all the bs these guys went through, I highly doubt a Scott Weiland solo album would break them up again.

The second reason is that Scott’s been working on this solo album for years. Back in 2005 he appeared on Last Call With Carson Daily and debuted some new solo tracks. So, let Scotty boy get this out of the way so that he can focus on STP again.

Here’s the video for “The Man I Didn’t Know” from 2005.
