After forming under the name Mighty Joe Young, the band signed withAtlantic Recordsand changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots. Their debut album,Core,released in 1992, was a major commercial hit, and STP went on to become one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, selling more than 18 million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide.[7][8][9]STP released four more studio albums:Purple(1994),Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop(1996),No. 4(1999), andShangri-La Dee Da(2001), before separating in 2003, after which the band members partook in various projects (most notablyVelvet RevolverandArmy of Anyone). STP eventually reconvened in 2008 for areunion tourand released theirself-titled sixth albumwith Scott Weiland in 2010. After firing Weiland in 2013, the band recruited Chester Bennington, who they would tour with as their lead vocalist up until his departure in 2015. The band's only material with Bennington was the 2013 EPHigh Rise.[10]STP has since released two albums with Gutt on vocals: itssecond self-titled albumin 2018[11]and eighth studio album,Perdida,in 2020.[12]

While initially rising to fame as part of thegrungemovement of the early 1990s, further releases from the band explored a variety of styles, includingpsychedelic rock,bossa nova,andclassic rock.STP's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about in part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles withdrug addiction.

History

edit

1985–1992: Formation and early years as Mighty Joe Young

edit

In 1985, Scott Weiland and his friends in their band Soi Disant—guitarist Corey Hicock and drummer David Allin—first encountered Robert DeLeo playing live at various gigs, deciding to track him down after witnessing his shows.[13]Weiland, DeLeo, Hicock and Allin would eventually form a band called Swing. Allin left after a few years. The remaining members saw drummer Eric Kretz play in a Long Beach club and convinced him to join them. Guitarist Hicock eventually left the band in 1989; in need of a replacement and auditioning many guitarists, Robert suggested his older brother,Dean.At the time, Dean was a successful businessman[citation needed]who had left behind his previous musical career but still played guitar as a hobby. The band managed to convince Dean to play for Swing, completing the original lineup. Shortly afterwards, the band changed its name to Mighty Joe Young. They recorded a demo tape around 1990. The Mighty Joe Young demo features tracks that would go on to be re-recorded for the band's first studio album, as well as some musical styles that would not be featured on any of the band's studio albums, such asfunkandyodeling.

Mighty Joe Young played several gigs in theSan Diegoarea, building up a fanbase. Their first show was supportingHenry Rollinsat theWhisky a Go GoinWest Hollywood.The group then began to work on their debut album withBrendan O'Brien.During the recording, they received a call from their lawyer who informed them that there was a bluesman who had already claimed the nameMighty Joe Young.[14]Inspired by theSTP Motor Oilstickers that the band members were fans of in their youth, various ideas on the initials "STP" were shared by the band before they settled on the name "Stone Temple Pilots".[15]

1992–1995:CoreandPurple

edit

Stone Temple Pilots developed a fan base in San Diego clubs and in 1992 signed withAtlantic Records.Their first album,Core,was released on September 29, 1992, and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Albums Chart.Corewas a big success, producing hits "Sex Type Thing","Plush","Creep",and"Wicked Garden".While the album was a major commercial success, some in the music press criticized the band as" grunge imitators ".[16]The same year, Scott Weiland and Dean DeLeo played an acoustic version of "Plush" on the MTV showHeadbangers Ball.This is considered one of Weiland's greatest vocal performances.[17][18]Despite negative reviews from some critics, Stone Temple Pilots continued to gain fans and toured, opening for bands such asRage Against the MachineandMegadeth.1993 brought continued success on the road, with the band headlining a two-and-a-half-month American tour.

In 1993, the band filmed an episode ofMTV Unplugged,where they debuted the song "Big Empty".In a January 1994Rolling Stonepoll, the band was simultaneously voted Best New Band byRolling Stone's readers and Worst New Band by the magazine's music critics. The following month the group won Favorite Pop/Rock New Artist and Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist at theAmerican Music Awards.In March 1994, the group won aGrammy AwardforBest Hard Rock Performancefor the song "Plush".[19]In the spring of 1994, Stone Temple Pilots returned to the studio to work on their second album,Purple.Completed in less than a month,Purpledebuted at number one in the United States upon its release on June 7, 1994. The radio-friendly "Interstate Love Song"quickly became a big hit, spending a record-setting fifteen weeks atop the album rock tracks chart. Other hits from the album included"Vasoline"and" Big Empty "(the latter also being featured on the soundtrack to the filmThe Crow). By October, just four months after its release,Purplehad sold three million copies.

1995–2003:Tiny Music,No. 4,andShangri-La Dee Da

edit

In October 1995, the band regrouped to begin recording its third album, renting out a mansion inSanta Barbara, Californiafor the band to live together during the recording process. Stone Temple Pilots released the albumTiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop,on March 5, 1996. The album's sound marked a drastic change from their previous outings, oriented more in the direction ofglam rockandpsychedelic musicthan that of the hard rock/grunge sound that propelled them to popularity; critical reception, at the time, was mixed.[20][21]Rolling Stone,a magazine known for its initial dismissal of the band's music, held a favorable opinion of the album, regarding the release as the group's best effort to date. They expressed surprise, however, at "the clattering, upbeat character of the music" given Weiland's much-publicized run-ins with drugs and the law. Stone Temple Pilots were also featured on the cover of issue No. 753 in February 1997.[22]

The band was only partially successful in being able to tour in support ofTiny Music...and pulled out of asupportslot onKiss'reunion tour.A short tour in the fall of 1996 ensued in the U.S. but final dates at the end of December in Hawaii and some dates in 1997 had to be cancelled in order for Weiland to go to rehab. The band then decided to take a break to work on other projects. Kiss drummerPeter Crissremarked, "I can'tcall the kettle black.I just pray for the guy and hope that he gets himself better because they really are a great band. "[23]Since Weiland, the band recruited Dave Coutts, the frontman ofTen Inch Men,and performed under the monikerTalk Show.Talk Show released oneeponymous albumin 1997 before dissolving. Meanwhile, pursuing his own musical interests, Weiland released his first solo album,12 Bar Blues,in 1998. Although both albums received moderate critical praise,[24][25]neither was commercially successful.

In late 1998, the band regrouped and began work on a fourth Stone Temple Pilots album. Released in 1999,No. 4was conceived as a "back-to-basics" rock album in the vein ofCoreorPurple.Stephen Thomas ErlewineofAllMusiccompared the album's sound to contemporaryalternative metalbands and wrote in his review "it's as if STP decided to compete directly with the new generation of alt-metal bands who prize aggression over hooks or riffs."[26]STP scored one of its biggest hits since the success ofCoreandPurplewith the single "Sour Girl",fueled by a popularmusic videostarringSarah Michelle GellarofBuffy the Vampire Slayerfame. The band also recorded an episode ofVH1 Storytellers,and went on a summer tour with theRed Hot Chili Peppers.No. 4would eventually be certified platinum by the RIAA.

During the summer of 2001, the band released its fifth album,Shangri-La Dee Da,which produced one modest rock radio hit in "Days of the Week".Despite promotion of the album by going on tour withLinkin Parkon theFamily Values Tour,Shangri-La Dee Dawas a commercial disappointment. At that point, marketing support from their label was reportedly minimal, and the band decided to put a hold on any future albums. However, the band recorded "All in the Suit That You Wear",a song intended to be thelead singleon the soundtrack for the 2002 filmSpider-Man.However,Chad Kroeger's song "Hero"was ultimately chosen as the lead single.

2003–2008: Separation and members' other projects

edit

Despite reports that the band had begun work on a sixth studio album in 2002, the band went quiet by the end of that year after reports of an altercation between Dean DeLeo and Weiland after the last show of Stone Temple Pilots' fall 2002 tour.[27]As a capstone to the band's career, Atlantic Records released a greatest hits album,Thank You,with a bonus DVD of archive material and music videos, in 2003. Five days afterThank Youwas released, the DeLeo brothers revealed in an interview withGuitar Onethat the band was officially done.[28]Following the band's dissolution, Weiland was recruited to joinVelvet Revolver—a successfulsupergroup—where they released two albums,Contrabandin 2004 andLibertadin 2007 before breaking up in 2008. Likewise, the DeLeo brothers formed the supergroupArmy of Anyonewith vocalistRichard Patrickof theindustrial rockbandFilterand session drummerRay Luzier.The band released itsself-titled albumin 2006 before going on "indefinite hiatus" in 2007. Eric Kretz kept a lower profile during this time, operating his own studio, Bomb Shelter Studios, and drumming for the band Spiralarms.

2008–2011: Reunion and self-titled album

edit
The band greets fans after its first show since 2002 at theHoudini Mansionon April 7, 2008.

According to Dean DeLeo, steps toward a Stone Temple Pilots reformation started with a phone call from Weiland's wife, Mary Forsberg. She invited the DeLeo brothers to play at a private beach party, which led to the reconciliation of Weiland and the DeLeo brothers.[29]In 2007, Dean DeLeo and Weiland discussed a concert promoter's offer to headline several summer festivals. Weiland subsequently left Velvet Revolver in April 2008 and the following month, Stone Temple Pilots announced they were reuniting for a 65-date North American tour. The group officially reunited for a private gig at theHoudini Mansionand held their first public show onJimmy Kimmel Live!on May 1. Stone Temple Pilots toured throughout the summer and fall, headlining theVirgin Mobile FestivalinBaltimorein August of that year as well as the 10th annualVoodoo ExperienceinNew Orleans.The band's six-month reunion tour wrapped up on Halloween 2008 inPelham, Alabama.

After taking a short break to allow Weiland to support his second solo album,"Happy" in Galoshes,the band began producing their sixth studio album in mid-2009. The band also went on the road for a 13-date North American summer tour in 2009, taking place in-between the tours for Weiland's second solo album.[30]The band showcased new material atSouth by Southwestin 2010,[31][32]and also appeared at England'sDownload Festival 2010in June,[33][34]as well as at theHurricane FestivalandSouthside Festivalin Germany.[35]The band appeared on theLate Show with David Lettermanfor the first time in ten years on May 19, performing the song "Between the Lines".The band'sself-titled sixth albumwas released on May 25, 2010, debuting at number two on theBillboard200.

Towards the end of 2010, STP announced they were rescheduling several U.S. tour dates so that the band could take a "short break". They touredSoutheast Asiafor the first time in 2011, playing in the Philippines (Manila),Singapore,and Indonesia (Jakarta). Following this, the band played successful shows in Australia, including sold-out performances inSydneyandMelbourne.[36]

In December 2011, Dean DeLeo toldRolling Stone,"what I'd like to see happen is the band go out and do more intimate shows – really lovely theaters around the country." DeLeo also commented on a possible extended reissue ofCoreincluding live archived material, "We have tons of live recordings from that era, and we didn't multi-track record that stuff. There's no fixes, so they'd sound incredible if we justmasterthem. "[37]On January 2, 2012, Scott Weiland also commented on the 20th anniversary ofCore,saying "Well, we're doing a lot of special things. [There's] a lot of archival footage that we're putting together, a coffee table book, hopefully a brand new album – so many ideas. A box set and then a tour, of course."[38]On June 26, STP released its first-everconcert film,Alive in the Windy City,on DVD and Blu-ray. The performance was filmed at a sold-out show in March 2010 at theRiviera TheatreinChicago.[39]

From then on, the band began to experience problems, and suspicions were raised that tensions within the band had arisen once again. Despite the band's claims that their fall tour would be celebrating the 20th anniversary ofCore,[40]this did not happen.[citation needed]On September 17, at a show inAbbotsford, British Columbia,the band arrived nearly two hours late, and cut their set 30 minutes short, angering many fans.[41]The following day, the band released a brief statement announcing that that night's show inLethbridge, Albertawas cancelled due to Weiland being ordered to go on "48 hours complete vocal rest due to strained vocal cords."[42]On December 7, in response to a public declaration from Weiland that he was "completely open" to returning toVelvet Revolverand a radio DJ's questions about the state of that band,Slash(Weiland's former bandmate with Velvet Revolver) toldMinneapolis/St. Paulradio station 93X that he had heard rumors Weiland had been fired from Stone Temple Pilots, citing this as a possible reason for Weiland's eagerness to return to Velvet Revolver, something that he quickly dismissed.[43]On February 27, 2013, Stone Temple Pilots fired Weiland, marking the band's first lineup change.[2]The firing was officially announced as Weiland left on tour with his solo band.[44]Both parties issued lawsuits over the right to perform with the Stone Temple Pilots name; both were settled out of court, with the DeLeo brothers and Kretz retaining the rights to perform under the name.[45]

2013–2015: Chester Bennington era and Weiland's death

edit

On May 18, 2013, the three remaining members of Stone Temple Pilots performed withChester BenningtonofLinkin Park,appearing as special guests at the 21st AnnualKROQ Weenie Roast,and the May 19, 2013Live 105BFD festival near San Francisco, where they performed a new song, "Out of Time".[46]On May 19, 2013, STP released a free download of their new single "Out of Time" with Bennington now an official member. Bennington had exclaimed years before in interviews that being in Stone Temple Pilots was his lifelong dream. The new lineup performed again on May 30, 2013, at the MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert in Los Angeles, California,[47]and were joined by Weiland's former bandmates Slash and Duff McKagan on stage to perform "All the Young Dudes".

They officially dropped "with Chester Bennington" from their name in March 2015.[49]On November 9, 2015, Bennington announced he was amicably leaving Stone Temple Pilots to focus more on Linkin Park.[3][4]On December 3, 2015, Scott Weiland was found dead of an accidental overdose of alcohol, pills, and cocaine on his tour bus in Minnesota.[50]Stone Temple Pilots released a statement noting his death in which they thanked him for his time with them and said he was "gifted beyond words".[51]

2016–2018: New singer Jeff Gutt and second self-titled album

edit

In February 2016, Stone Temple Pilots launched an online audition for a new vocalist, stating, "If you think you have what it takes to front this band, record with this band, and tour with this band, we would dig hearing from you."[6]

On July 26, 2017, the band announced that a 25th anniversary edition ofCorewould be released on September 29, 2017. The reissue includes a 25th Anniversary box set, it includes a remastered version of the album, previously unreleased demos and b-sides, and parts of three live performances from 1993 (Castaic Lake Natural Amphitheater,Reading Festival,andMTV Unplugged). In October 2017, Dean DeLeo said that the band's search for a new vocalist was "going great", and that the band is "working on new material".[52]On November 14, the band revealed thatJeff Gutthad been chosen as their new lead singer.[53]On November 15, 2017, the band released the song, "Meadow".[54]On January 31, 2018, the band released a second single, "Roll Me Under", and announced the release date of the album.

Musical style

edit

The band's sound is a blend ofalternative rockof the 1980s and 1990s with thehard rockof the 1970s, though the band is known for making each of their records possess a unique musical style, despite having the "sonic blueprint" of the band, as Robert DeLeo describes.[58][59]Stone Temple Pilots have also been described asalternative metal.[60][61][62]

Aerosmithwas a large influence on the band, with Dean DeLeo acknowledging the band's influence on songs such as "Huckleberry Crumble" off their 2010 self-titled record.Steven TylerandJoe Perryjoined the band onstage at a 1996 show inMadison Square Gardenfor renditions of the Aerosmith songs "Sweet Emotion"and" Lick and a Promise ". All of the band members wereKissfans during their childhood, and played shows at theRoseland Ballroomin 1993 appeared in Kiss-style makeup.

During the taping of theirVH1 Storytellersperformance, Weiland acknowledged artists such asthe Rolling Stones,Neil Young,andRobert Plantas their musical heroes. The band has covered songs by artists such asthe Beatles,[63]Led Zeppelin,the Doors,Pink Floyd,James Brown,David Bowie,andBob Marleyboth live and in the studio.

Early in their career, the band was considered to be a part of thegrungemovement. Despite assertions by critics that their style in the early–mid 1990s was derived from contemporary artists such asAlice in ChainsandSoundgarden,the band maintained that the similarities were coincidental, due in part to having the same musical idols growing up. Much of the comparison was directed at Weiland's vocal style drawing similarities to that ofEddie Vedder's. Weiland stated that his vocal style was influenced byJim Morrisonand David Bowie, who also served as his mainfashioninfluence. Weiland has been called a chameleon due to his ability to change his vocal and fashion style.[64]

Regarding the band's musical evolution, Weiland commented in 2014 that "with STP, we never stuck to it. We saw that even great movements only last a certain period of time and you don't want to be pigeonholed, so we got into other things, like the Beatles were a big influence, glam was a big influence, and it morphed along the way. I'm proud of the legacy we created and where we stand among those other peers at the time."[65]

Dean DeLeo uses heavily layered anddistortedguitar playing, while bassist Robert DeLeo draws influence from genres such asrhythm and blues,lounge music,andragtime.The band's debut albumCorewas a straightforward display ofgrunge.

After reconvening in the studio for their second album,Purple,the band's style developed, taking influence frompsychedelic rock,country music,andjangle pop.The band continued to diverge into various genres and influences; for example, songs like "And So I Know" onTiny Music...have a distinctbossa novasound. Regarding the evolution of the band's sound, Weiland commented that "the transformation fromCoreto where we ended up before we took that time off, when I started with Velvet Revolver, was enormous. "[66]

Weiland was the band's primary lyricist. His style changed with the band's evolution; much of the lyrics onCorewere written about societal issues such asreligion,abuse of power, and isolation. The band's breakthrough single "Sex Type Thing"polarized critics with its lyrics, some interpreting it as advocacy ofdate rape.Weiland intended it as afeministanthem, with its lyrics written in mockery of the narrator. As Weiland began to deal with substance abuse, his lyrics became more personal and intricate; songs like "Interstate Love Song" deal with his addiction's tolls on his relationship with his then-wife, Janina. The lyrics of the band's fourth album were written to provide closure to his marriage and addiction toheroin.

Following the band's reunion in 2008, Weiland once again evolved as a songwriter, explaining: "[In] the '90s, I was so overwhelmed with my heroin addiction, and so a lot of the stuff was just from my point of view. Now, I tend to look at some of the greats likeLeonard CohenandBob Dylan.I look at their storytelling [and] I try to tell stories. Every song doesn't have to be narcissistically written about how I feel on that day. "

Legacy

edit

Core,certified 8× platinum by theRIAA,drove the band to popularity.[67]Stone Temple Pilots went on to become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the 1990s, selling 40 million records worldwide,[29]including 17.5 million units in the United States,[68]before their dissolution in 2003. The band has had 16 top ten singles on theBillboardrock charts, eight of which peaked at No. 1,[69]and one No. 1 album forPurplein 1994.[70][71]That same year, the band won aGrammyfor "Best Hard Rock Performance"for the song"Plush"from the albumCore.[72]Stone Temple Pilots were also ranked No. 40 onVH1'sThe 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[73]

Despite being unpopular with critics in their heyday, Stone Temple Pilots have proven to be a popular and influential act. In retrospect,MTVwriter James Montgomery published an article questioning the validity of music critics' opinions of the band during the 90s, saying, "All I'm suggesting is that perhaps it's time to admit that we were wrong about them from the get-go—that we treated them unfairly."[74]In a review of the band's 2003 greatest hits collectionThank You,AllMusiccritic Stephen Erlewine wrote that "STP made music that sounded great at the time and even better now", and that "this music has stood the test of time", callingThank You"nearly perfect".[75]Erlewine also wrote that "STP was the best straight-ahead rock singles outfit of their time."[71]

After the death of Scott Weiland,Smashing PumpkinssingerBilly Corganpaid official tribute to the band and musician, calling him one of the greatest voices of their generation:

"It was, I'd guess you'd say, my way of apology for having been so critical of STP when they appeared on the scene like some crazy, man-fueled rocket. And not only was the knight up front freshly handsome to a fault, but he could sing too! As any supreme actor gives a real and different voice to each character played. It was STP's3rd albumthat had got me hooked, a wizardly mix of glam and post-punk, and I confessed to Scott, as well as the band many times, how wrong I'd been in assessing their native brilliance. And like Bowie can and does, it was Scott's phrasing that pushed his music into a unique, and hard to pin down, aesthetic sonicsphere. Lastly, I'd like to share a thought which though clumsy, I hope would please Scott In Hominum. And that is if you asked me who I truly believed were the great voices of our generation, I'd say it were he,Layne,andKurt."[76]

Media outlets reported on Weiland's death stating he was a "powerful voice" with a "mercurial vocal style" during his time with the Stone Temple Pilots.[77][78]

On December 3, 2016, STP posted a tribute on their website to mark the first anniversary of Weiland's death.[79]In 2017, Metal Injection ranked Stone Temple Pilots at number 9 on their list of "10 Heaviest Grunge Bands".[80]
