    STP is the shit man....

    I bought Purple way back and that was it. I listened to that album till I couldnt take it anymore. Fantastic stuff.

    Then I got core a few years ago. Core is the most intense thing I had ever listened to.

    I am smellin' like the rose
    that somebody gave me on
    my birthday deathbed
    I am smellin' like the rose
    that somebody gave me
    'cause I'm dead & bloated

    When I first heard this I nearly cried. I never listened to STP, PJ or anything from this era/genre when it came out. I didnt start listening to this till around 98/99 (except Purple which I bought in 96 or so). I missed out when it happened and it made me sad.

    I thought tiny music was the weakest. No. 4 had the rockinest opener ever. Shangrila was unmemorable but not bad. Core fuckin rocked ass .... hard. Purple was just unfuckingbelievable, not a bad song on the whole cd. Sigh. Why do drugs have to fuck frontmen up so bad.

    Well, they haven't technically broken up, they're just on break bc Scott's working with Velvet Revolver.

    Im an oddity of a STP fan...theyre in my top ten, i love the band...but i just dont like core as an album. there are some great tracks there but thats actually the only STP album I cant listen to from beginning to end. Whereas most fans hate or dislike or dont care much for No4 and Shangri La, those two are my absolute favorites. I think they are incredible albums that are extremely overrated. Purple is also extremely good, as is Tiny Music.
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    STP is my favorite band, with PJ and Zeppelin coming it at numbers two and three. I love STP I have been a huge fan for about ten years. All of thier albums sound amazing to me. And I have never understood the comparisons to PJ. I think that albums like Tiny Music couldn't sound less like Pearl Jam. I hope that sometime in the near future they can get back together.

    i love STP, thye were my favorite band for years, pj #2,. when core first came out i was in love with it and listened to it everyday, it was the first album i ever bought.
    it was only around 1998 that pj edged out stp as my favorite band. i really never got the comparison between them being grunge rip offs, because i always thought they had their own musical style, i was highly upset when they broke up, hopefull a reunion is not that far away

    Stone Temple Pilots was such an amazing band. Great songs and great live performances. Scott Weiland is definitely a "rock star" which may be why some people don't care for him.

    I also like Velvet Revolver. I've seen both bands and both shows were fantastic.

    I hope that one day Stone Temple Pilots reunites!

    I'v seen VR a couple times now. They put on a good show with alot of energy, but I wish they'd have a more clearer sound live. Some of the songs don't sound that good live. I can't seem to put my finger on it about why they sound bad sometimes. I'm not sure if its the vocals are to quiet? Or if theres just to much distortion with the guitars or what?

    Like I remember the second time I saw them they played a fast version of Use To Love Her. I didn't know what song it was until the course.

    It just sucks on their next tour they probably won't play any STP or GnR anymore. Those were always the best songs to hear live. Espically Mr. Brownstone. Thats such a bad ass song.

    I saw VR once and I partially agree with you on the sound. I noticed the first 5 or so songs were definately 'warm up' songs...Weiland was a bit sloppy and the overall sound was a bit off. However, as the night went on it just got better and better, especially when Scott and Slash did a moving rendition of Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and the band rocked out "Sex Type Thing" and some GnR tunes towards the end. I think they'll still cover like that next tour...it's not like they'll need the filler anymore, but I think they know the fans like hearing those in addition to the VR tunes. I'd expect them to drop Contraband tracks(I believe they played 11/13 of em when I saw em) before they completely drop the covers.

    Anybody remember a concert that was broadcast on VH1 around the time of "No. 4"??? Very good show.

    The House of Blues in Las vegas show I believe. There is some songs from that show on the DVD that came with Thank You. I also have it on VHS lol.

    I miss STP...

    Definitly in my top 5 fave bands...great great great to see live.. I still can remember everything about the last show I went to, and that was in 2002.

    I wish a reunion would happen...at least just one more time.

    Love STP, miss them. The energy on stage is incredible. I'd seen them at a small club in Boston about 5yrs ago (saw VR there as well), one of my top 5 favorite shows. Sadly, they don't mix it up much....I'd seen them 2 nights in a row in 2003 (?) and both shows were essentially the same set list.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    Yeah the setlists didnt change at all. That's my only complaint - and honestly, at this point, I'd be happier than anything to hear a greatest hits setlist just one more time.

    I love both STP and Pearl Jam very much...I know there are others on here who feel the same way.

    I've loved the song Plush for aaaaages!! But i've only recently gotten into Stone Temple Pilots and MAN......... I've been missing out all these years!! So i'm on a quest to procure more of their stuff! Some of the songs just clicked and blew me away! Current faves are No memory/Sin & Crackerman!

    This might be old news to some of you but the DeLeo bros are doing something new and "should" have an album out sometime this year!!!

    Speaking of Velvet Revolver, I thought their cover of Floyd's "Money" was on the Italian Job soundtrack, but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what record it's on?
