  ::::::STP NEWS FLASH::::::
Though the group (singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bassist Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz) has endured more personal and professional ups and downs than most any other band in recent memory, their latest album, the personal, moody Shangri-La Dee Da, is as challenging and engaging a record as STP has ever produced.
Eric, when things were at their low point with Scott, how close was the rest of the band to throwing in the towel?
Kretz: It gets to the point for every band, after being in this for 10 or 15 years, where creatively and as far as the unity of the band, it gets to the point where something has to change.

In a grievance riddled with dirty laundry, Stone Temple Pilots drummer Eric Kretz was sued for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court Monday (August 6) by his ex-wife for $1.6 million, or half of his earnings, and financial support.
Shari W. Kretz's suit aims to prove a common-law bind that was personal, business-related, and even "quasi-parental," and one that far exceeded the four years the couple was legally married by exposing details of their decade-long relationship, which ended in November, 2000.
Shari also allegedly "designed Eric's clothing and his 'rock 'n' roll look.'" When the drummer sought to improve his "physical image" in the band, she "recommended that Eric look into 'surgical liposuction,'" and "nursed him" after undergoing the procedure.

 Stone Temple Pilots Hate America
Relaxing a little bit in a posh Toronto hotel lobby the day after their MuchMusic Live With Stone Temple Pilots in support of the recently unleashed Shangri-La Dee Da, STP bassist Robert DeLeo, and drummer Eric Kretz seem damn happy to be back in Canada and aren't afraid to talk about it.
With Shangri-La Dee Da in the hands of Canadian fans, most will notice the rockin' slam that the band takes at the commercialism and fakeness of their current residence in Tinsel-town on the song "Hollywood Bitch." "Hollywood is the epicenter of the universe," says Eric, with more than a hint of sarcasm.
When discussing Canuck rock, Kretz mentions the Rush song "Freewill" that the band launched into a few bars of at a Canada Day 2000 performance at Toronto's Warehouse.

Three-fourths of the band -- drummer Eric Kretz and brothers Robert (bass) and Dean (guitar) DeLeo -- recruited a new singer and released an album as Talk Show.
Meanwhile, Weiland stumbled in and out of court, rehab, jail, and the studio, where he found time to record an impressive Bowie-esque solo CD that came out in '98.
Nevertheless, everyone including Weiland agreed it was important to get the album out on schedule, because, as Kretz points out, "when you make an album you're picking up and tuning in on everything that's going on around you, not only with yourself and the people you know, but with the whole world.

The Stone Temple Pilots - singer Scott Weiland, guitarist Dean DeLeo, bass player Robert DeLeo (yep, they're brothers), and drummer Eric Kretz - have been on the road with the Red Hot Chili Peppers since the end of July, pumping up the interest in STP's eclectic new album, the aforementioned No. 4.
Nope - they also found out that they were both musicians, so it wasn't long before they hooked up with drummer Kretz and Robert's brother Dean, to form the band that was first known as Mighty Joe Young, and is now known as Stone Temple Pilots.
A slew of hit alt-rock albums later, the band found themselves mired in lead singer Weiland's much-publicized struggles with drugs, and both DeLeo brothers and Kretz temporarily bailed to form the one-album, one-hit rock project Talk Show before putting the STPieces back together in late 1998 or so.

Adds Robert DeLeo, "We had a choice: We could either look at this like it was our fourth record or like it was our first record and we're kind of viewing it like our first.
For his own part, Weiland has split the troubled band's downtime between grappling with his drug problem and working on material for a solo album slated for release sometime next year.
