Stone Temple Pilots Tickets - Almost Ready To Be Back

Though the recently reunited Stone Temple Pilots are back together

, they have pushed back their December and January 2010 tour dates in order to divulge their full energy into a new album. "STP are postponing the December and January dates until next year so that the band can finish their highly anticipated record, which will be coming out in the early spring of next year," the group announced in November. Now they've announced that they are "almost finished" with the new set, the first from the group since 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da.

"There will probably be 11 songs on the record and we have nine completed already. Then you have to have B sides for Japan, the UK and the rest of Europe, so we'll probably record 14 songs total," frontman Scott Weiland said to Rolling Stone. The target date for the album is spring 2010, with tour dates set to appear even sooner. Gear up for the concert-to-be with Stone Temple Pilots tickets online.

The group just came off the heels of their first tour in eight years, a reunion set that had the group returning to the charts with classic singles. The tour originated in the States in October and finished up in Canada during November. STP is rearing to go as they wander through the necessary steps to tackle the new record - "we have a method that we use and it's pretty basic. For the most part, Robert and Dean write the instrumental riffs and then amongst the three of us we arrange the songs and then I write all the melodies and the lyrics," Scott said to Spinner website.

Originally deemed a cover act that forcefully took classic rock into the mainstream by sheer force, the Stone Temple Pilots found influence in '70s rock acts and found success even with critics bashing their "trash" - as the 1993 debut Core sold over three million copies and Purple, the group's sophomore effort, reached the top spot on the Billboard charts.

Though the group had been fraught with failures, including frontman Scott Weiland's heroin addiction (which he developed following the Purple tour) and subsequent rehabilitation series, the group managed to do well on the charts and with fans. The group's third album was released in 1996 and was titled Tiny Music...Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop; the set debuted at number four on the charts and included the hits "Big Bang Baby" and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart."

Following Weiland's drug relapse the group cancelled all tours for Tiny Music so their singer could concentrate on his health, though all abandoned the effort when Weiland recorded his 1998 solo effort and STP recorded under the name Talk Show with vocalist Dave Coutts. It was shocking then for fans and critics alike to see the group reunite for the 1999 effort No. 4. The group returned following Weiland's year sentence in a Los Angeles jail with 2001's Shangri-La Dee Da and the greatest hits Thank You in 2003.
