Updated Monday, April 28, 2008 Possible New Album In The Works For STP Following Tour April 22, 2008 With Stone Temple Pilots gearing up for their summer reunion tour, the band is starting to think about recording a new album somewhere down the road. "I think new material will come probably after this tour," bassist Robert DeLeo told Billboard. "I think the whole thing now is kind of getting back and re-acclimating ourselves to the songs that we know. I think that's gonna make for a better atmosphere and better performances ... instead of doing a new record. Then, after this tour finishes, I think we're gonna be in a position where we've gotten to know each other again, and I think it's gonna be time to hit the studio." DeLeo says the massive summer trek could be a challenge for STP, since he jokingly notes, "in our prime we didn't get through fourth months of touring. It's a pretty big bite, but I think there's a lot more clarity this time around and a lot more wisdom to go along with the music itself." DeLeo continues, "I personally think it's gonna make for a better atmosphere. I think we're just keeping an open attitude and trying to enjoy this for once or twice or three times in my career out of all the times we've been together. It'd be great to enjoy this, y'know? I think we all deserve it. We all earned it." STP announced their return with a short performance earlier this month in Los Angeles, and according to Billboard, it could be released on DVD down the road. The tour officially kicks off with the Rock On The Range festival in Columbus, OH on May 17 and the band is taking requests for the tour at stonetemplepilots.com. Motley Crue's The new Motley Crue single, "Saints Of Los Angeles," will be available via the Rock Band video game before it appears on their upcoming album. "Saints Of Los Angeles" will be available for download for 99 cents beginning today (4/15) via Microsoft's Xbox Live Marketplace and on Thursday via Sony Corp's PlayStation store. Meanwhile, the band will make a big announcement about their new album and tour in Los Angeles tonight at 4 p.m. PST. The rumor is that the group will announce a Cruefest summer trek featuring Papa Roach, Buckcherry and Nikki Sixx's other band, Sixx: A.M. Green Day Say's They Are The Mysterious Foxboro Hot Tub Band In the least-surprising announcement of the day, Green Day have confirmed to MTV News that yes, they are the Foxboro Hot Tubs. In a statement, the band said "We think that the only similarity [between the Hot Tubs and Green Day] is that we are the same band. That is basically the only similarity. We are Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard [that would be Mike Dirnt], Frank Edwin Wright the Third [aka Tre Cool] and the Reverend Strychnine Twitch [that would probably be Billie Joe Armstrong]." White and Freese are touring members of the band. The Foxboro Hot Tubs mysteriously appeared online late last year, and fans quickly caught on that the band was Green Day recording under an assumed name. In the email to MTV, the band said the Foxboro Hot Tubs songs came about "after a few late night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin' eight-track recordings." The Hot Tubs' album, Stop Drop And Roll!!!, will be released on April 29. In their email to MTV, the band also hinted at a Hot Tubs tour later this year as well. Another Reunion For Janes Addiction Jane's Addiction will be reuniting, yet again, to play the NME Awards at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on April 23. Founding members Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins are all confirmed for the show, though neither original bassist Eric Avery nor reunion bassist Chris Chaney have signed on yet. The reunion performance is to celebrate the presentation of the NME Godlike Genius Award for Extraordinary Services to music at the ceremony. Metallica Announces Their Second Tour Date For The US Metallica has announced only their second tour date for the U.S. so far this year, and the band will play KFMA/Tucson's KFMA Day on May 16. Other acts on the bill are Apocalyptica, Scars On Broadway and Flobots. Other than that, 'Tallica's only Stateside date is at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN on June 13. The group also announced that they have been invited back to the U.K. to headline this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals on August 22 and 24, and they have lots of other European festivals on their schedule this summer as well. As for Metallica's next album, drummer Lars Ulrich spoke to BBC 6 Music earlier this month and said, "We're just finishing up a record, we've got six weeks left and it should be out in September. That's the idea right now." Nine Inch Nails Back On The Road For A Summer Tour Nine Inch Nails will hit the road this summer for a North American tour that begins with the previously-announced Pemberton Festival in British Columbia on July 25. NIN toured extensively behind 2005's With Teeth, but Trent Reznor & co. played mostly overseas after the release of last year's Year Zero. Reznor split up the live incarnation of NIN at the end of that tour, and is expected to have a new backing band of some sort this summer. In a statement on NIN.com, Reznor writes, "Lots going on in the world of Nine Inch Nails... Confirming a very poorly kept secret, the band has been reformed (details coming!) and we are about to embark on an extensive tour. The first wave of dates I can mention at this time appear below. Many more to come! See you soon." It has been heavily rumored that NIN will be among the headliners for Lollapalooza in Chicago, and the dates certainly leave a hole in the band's schedule to fit in a stop in the Windy City at the beginning of August. The Lollapalooza lineup will be announced on Monday, April 7 when founder Perry Farrell reveals the bands on WKQX (Q101.1)/Chicago.
