A two-part interview with
STONE TEMPLE PILOTS/ex-
VELVET REVOLVER singer
Scott Weiland about the making of his new video,
"Tangle With Your Mind", can be viewed below.
"I had watched this movie called
'The Science of Sleep' about a year ago and I fell in love with the film,"
Weiland told
Spinner.com. "I thought it was such a cool and interesting approach and I wanted to use that in a video sometime."
Weiland also had the idea that he wanted to reach out to film students and see if he could give someone a big break. So when relative newcomer
Dennis Roberts came up with a treatment that was surprisingly close to what
Weiland had already envisioned, he got the go-ahead. "I was really impressed,"
Weiland told
Spinner.com. "I've worked with huge video directors and [
Roberts] and his crew were just as professional as anyone I've ever worked with."
"Tangle With Your Mind" comes off
Weiland's second solo album,
"Happy In Galoshes", which was released in November 2008 via
Weiland's label
Softdrive Records and distributed by
New West Records/
RED/
Sony. The CD, produced by
Scott Weiland and
Doug Grean (
VELVET REVOLVER,
SHERYL CROW,
CRYSTAL METHOD), with select tracks recorded by
Steve Albini, features a collection of songs that bring a revitalizing sound to
Weiland's highly praised and unique musical style. The album also features several guest appearances including
Adrian Young,
Tony Kanal and
Tom Dumont of
NO DOUBT, who, along with
Grean and
Weiland, penned
"Paralysis", which features
Young on drums.
"She's so Cold" was co-written by
Gary Beers from
INXS.
"Happy In Galoshes" sold 10,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 96 on The Billboard 200 chart.
