The best way for us to honor our past is to keep making new music.” Robert DeLeo says: “What impressed all of us is how he lets the song dictate his direction instead of the other way around.” Kretz adds: “The chemistry was there from the start…We ended up finishing 14 songs, which is the most that Stone Temple Pilots has ever recorded for an album.”ĭespite being one of the best-selling bands of the 1990s with platinum records and a Grammy® to its credit, Dean DeLeo says, “We are thrilled about what lies ahead. Gutt moved quickly, crafting melodies and writing lyrics for tracks the band had finished, and collaborating with them on new music. Soon after, the newly minted quartet assembled in Los Angeles with engineer Ryan Williams at Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz’s studios to begin writing and recording STP’s first album in eight years. Dean DeLeo says they wanted someone who had the vocal range to do the catalog justice, as well as the confidence and creativity to carve out a new path forward with the band. The band’s founding members – Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz – officially welcomed the Detroit native to STP last year after conducting an 18-month-long search for its third singer. It’s the group’s seventh studio album since its 1992 debut, but the first to f eature new singer Jeff Gutt. Tom from St.Stone Temple Pilots are reborn on the band’s latest – Stone Temple Pilots (2018).Taylor from Jackson, MiThey were often classified under the grunge movement.Also, STP originally went by the name "Mighty Joe Joung", until they discovered that there was a blues act of the same name already in existence.
Danny from Winsted, Ctgood band.they broke up mainly because of scott's frug addiction.i wished they stuck together.I think it was just unfortunate timing on their part and the lack of foresight on the part of critics to see that STP was just part of a new sound that would influence rock to this day (see incubus, queens of the stoneage, etc.) Pearl Jam has always had a much more raw, unrefined sound, whereas STP had a refined, melodic sound. After deep throaty lead-singers and heavy guitars (and how many rock bands can you say that about?) the similarities end. I hate how they were always panned as pearl jam clones. Max from Dunwoody, GaAgree with Rick from L.A.Chris from Virginia Beach, VaI saw STP in San Diego twice, once at the fairgrounds and the other opening up for the Chili Peppers.That won't happen again! Thanks STP RIP Scott I just missed them at a small theatre in Cincinnati Nov/21. Definitely less without Weiland but Im a guitar player and am a huge fan of Dean Deleo. Appreciate and enjoy what they were and still are. I really believe the drugs drive the inspiration and creativity, why does it have to be so destructive.
Once they perfected their craft they were powerful, one of my fav's of all time. Reason being Dean's guitar phrasing is extraordinary, not yr normal power chords and fairly difficult to play. Drose from Dayton OhI saw STP at least 10 times, 1st time they had trouble playing their songs live, lil sloppy.
