why did STP break up?

I had high hopes for Army of Anyone as well.... the deleo's are amazing underated musicians (people who say Core is a pearl jam ripoff... pfft.. listen to the guitars...)... but it ended up being pretty terrible.. almost as bad as VR

I to really miss STP

I actually learned to really enjoy AoA. The music on the album is awesome. The Deleos in my opinion wrote music that was equal to everything they ever wrote with STP in my opinion. I definitely am not a big RP fan, but some of the songs are not half bad, and they had there own sound that I can still appreciate. The drummer also, I'm not a huge fan of. He's talented, but over anxious and over excited. He needed to play less fills, and I just didn't like the sound of his drums.

But all in all, this is definitely an album I will go back to with some regularity because the Deleos just owned all over the place.

Also, they were great live.

A buddy and mine are sittin here drinkin and listenin to STP, and we just realized that we really don't know why they broke up. I can't find anything on the internet about it except perhaps because of velvet revolver. But we thought that they had broken up before velvet...any input would be awesome!

I think a more accurate question would be, "How did STP stay together for so long?"

Car wrecks, arrests, rehab, bipolar disorder.......it's really amazing how many chances those guys gace Scott Weiland.

Or the other question that could be asked "How did Scott Weiland not die after doing so much heroin?"

He did. Slash and Duff have assumed the Andrew McCarthy & Jonathan Silverman roles for a hilarious new album: "Weekend At Weiland's"

It really sucks, bc STP were an amazing band. Purple was an all out masterpiece.

Something just occurred to me... is Jonathan Silverman Sarah Silverman's brother? Because then if Jonathan Silverman was his sister, I would want to fuck Jonathan Silverman.

lmao @ immortality_13, dude brought ze sauce.




to stay on topic I guess they broke up cause weiland is an asshole. I don't really know but that would be my best guess.

This is just plain wrong.

no, its not. they really were shite! scott weiland being too fucked up on drugs to make records probably didn't help either. but ultimately they were just plain shite.

Nope. Wrong. They were an amazing band. Go relisten to Purple and Tiny Music. Two of the most underrated albums of the last 20 years.

I thought Tiny Music was dreadful. This, to me, was the result of drug abuse wrecking someone's talent and ability. They broke up after that mess of an album and their return, No 4 was a great album. To me it holds it's own alongside Core and Purple. Tiny Music was the worst thing Weiland ever recorded before VR.

Oh and I now withdraw that Jonathan Silverman comment due to him not being Sarah Silverman's brother. In fact, I'd rather cut out the confusing double talk and deal direct. So if anyone knows how I can reach Sarah Silverman, send me a pm ;-)
