Any time all four members of the Stone TemplePilots are in the same place at the same Rosetta Stone V3 time its areunion. The Pilots have been on a kamikaze mission with infamy for sometime now, and -- with ample help from frontman ScottWeiland -- have traded jabs with it several times over thecourse of their seven-year career. Now, STP will tempt fate againwith long-time producer Brendan OBrien (PearlJam, Matthew Sweet) and try their hand at recording theirlong-awaited follow-up to 1996s Tiny Music . . . Songs Fromthe Vatican Gift Shop.According to band manager Steve Stewart, the bandis writing and rehearsing now in Los Angeles and will do so untilthey begin rolling tape in March. OBrien is currently finishing upwork on the third Rage Against the Machine albumand wont be on hand full-time until hes done, according to asource close to the project.Stewart says the new album will hit stores some time this summer,and the bands Rosetta Stone Software "intent is to tour this summer," and, no, STP havenot been asked to perform on either Lollapalooza or OzzFest. So Ilisten to the way they structured the chords in those days, the waythey vocalized, the way they did their vocal lines and the slangthey used in the lyrics and stuff like that, and I write it in thatway. And then when I use the musicians whove just done an originalThirties song ten minutes before in the studio, theyll do mine anditll sound like a Thirties song. After the first album, I gotgreat compliments in the way of people saying, "Who did theoriginal Motorvatin Mama? Im sure Ive heard it before." No youhavent. Youve just heard that style before: Cab Calloway, LouieJordan. But its an original, so thats a great compliment causeyou know youve achieved what youve aimed to do. By hustling their songs to other artists, Kirshner made his dream come true: Its hard to imagine the Sixties without Aldon and Brill Building gems like Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do and The Loco-Motion." He was such a character, so colorful, says Paul Shaffer, who Rosetta Stone Chinese V3 worked on a TV pilot with Kirshner in the Seventies and became a longtime friend.
