Scott Unleashes The Beast
by: Debbie Hawolwood

Rock legend Scott Stapp plans a world wide tour after his album comes out. He has nine tracks written so far for his follow up to the double platinum The Great Divide. He also hopes to work with Glen Ballard on some of them. He told me in a phone interview, that he hopes the album is out by Halloween, and his tour to start in November. Stapp said he has also been over a year sober and plans to give money to the local AA chapter he goes to daily. Stapp also is hoping to tour with the new Doors, one of his main influences

The Great Divide was double platinum?

You can't believe everything you read :D. What is the source of this again?

[J.T.]

Thought so just making sure. I still don't really know how much The Great Divide sold though. I think gold but I've never really found out for sure.

[Dogstar]

Yeah, all the media reports I think go by items shipped now, which is fricken lame.

[rabidgopher04]

It was certified gold and platinum on 12/14/05, but never double-platinum. Search the RIAA for proof. http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/default.asp

[J.T.]

Oh thanks. I think it shipped platinum and went gold.

[Redeemer]

Double platinum my arse. Psh.

I remember Gold distinctly. I never heard about it going any farther than that.

Every time I went into a CD shop, there were like fifteen copies of the album in there...no one was buying the thing.

[ABYanks]

imagine that brett scallions and scott stapp on tour together
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
ahaha wont happen tho

[Redeemer]

Holy hell, I'd probably have a nostalgia attack.

[The Lithium]

The Great Divide was double platinum?
Not likely!

[J.T.]

Both The Great Divide and One Day Remains went Gold. End of story.

Yeah...

[RMadd]

So... if he's still writing music, that means it might be awhile 'til an actual album comes out & a world tour follows, correct? Like, at least 6 months, probably a year, maybe more?

[J.T.]

Yeah...I have no clue how long this stuff takes. But hopefully sooner than a year.

I thought I heard someone say that the new solo CD might be out during the spring of 2008. Or possibly summer. But I'd venture to say it'll be sometime within the next year or so.

As much as I really love Stapp, usually what he says doesn't happen. If indeed another album does come out, I don't see it for a good while yet. And don't get me wrong, I'm not a Stappbasher. I love him. I just see the pattern from the past, and I don't see it anytime soon.

[J.T.]

I still think one will be coming out in 2008. He already said he's working on one. So I'll just take that as a hint that an album will be coming out within a year or so.

[titan9]

^ But that was only after the album got delayed a few times.
