"Stone Temple Pilots were deeply disappointed to see that Atlantic filed a surprise lawsuit against two members of the (group) when they were in the middle of what were believed to be cordial and positive discussions about (Stone Temple Pilots) returning to the studio to make a new album after 5 years," the group said in an e-mailed statement.
The breach of contract suit alleges that Weiland and Kretz threatened to stop performing under their contract and have indicated they want to end the agreement unless Atlantic makes significant changes.
"Should everyone operate in good faith, (STONE TEMPLE PILOTS) are certain that a new album from the band will be available soon," the band's statement said. "The precipitous filing of this action is yet another example of the difficulties facing artists in the new music environment, as relationships between artists and their labels fall further and further apart."
Hey, at least Scott Weiland didn't get arrested again.
