SCOTT WEILAND Talks Rock 'N' Roll Fashion, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS With ExploreMusic

August 31, 2010

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-VELVET REVOLVER frontman Scott Weiland launched his new men's clothing line, Weiland For English Laundry, in Canada with a live appearance this past Sunday (August 29) at The Bay on Queen Street in Toronto, Ontario. ExploreMusic's Alan Cross sat down with Weiland and talked rock 'n' roll fashion, all things STP and much more. You can now watch the chat in three parts below.

Weiland for English Laundry, a collaboration with English Laundry designer Christopher Wicks, debuted at the MAGIC trade show in August 2009. The collection features rock-inspired wovens, vests, t-shirts, pants, hats, ties and scarves. Weiland for English Laundry blends the classic style and high quality of English Laundry with the design flare of the iconic, fashionable STP frontman.

"From early on, I was inspired by rock icons like David Bowie and Keith Richards who helped in molding my personal sense of style," said Weiland.

As previously reported, Weiland has responded to Internet rumors that he has been either lip-synching or using backing vocal tracks during the band's concerts. The allegations arose after video surfaced of Weiland falling off the stage at a concert last Wednesday (August 25) in Cincinnati, during which it appeared that his vocals never wavered despite the fact that he fell headfirst and seemed to land heavily.

At STP's August 28 gig in Pittsburgh, Weiland addressed the rumors onstage, saying, "I would like to dispel a rumor swirling its way around the Interwebs that I am not singing these songs that I wrote. There has never been a time in the 25-plus years that I have been singing with these guys or a combination of these guys or with other musicians that I have not sang. So whoever started that bullshit claim, like so many other bullshit claims, which is the problem with modern technology . . . We are a rock and roll band, (and) rock and roll bands perform live."

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS is touring behind its self-titled sixth studio album, which arrived earlier this year.
