Last night the gods of '90s-era modern rock radio wept a tear of happiness when the newly reunited Stone Temple Pilots performed "Vaseline" and didn't entirely suck (although Scott gets a little too into the whirling dervish bit post-solo and forgets that he has to, like, sing).

God bless those DeLeo brothers. After the jump, Scott Weiland is not dead and he's not for sale, but he is ready to talk about what the Albini-produced solo record will sound like, and how Axl maybe got the raw deal in the post GN'R breakup spin cycle.
