Things have never been easy for Stone Temple Pilots. Throughout the band’s tumultuous career, STP has somehow managed to persevere, overcoming the hurdles of addiction and copyright litigation and later, the deaths of frontmen Scott Weiland and Chester Bennington. On Perdida, their new acoustic album, STP proves why they’ve had such staying power throughout their career….

PURPLE
Stone Temple Pilots reached their peak early in their career with the release of Purple in 1994. This second album builds off the sounds forged on the band’s 1992 debut album Core, while bringing that sound to a more enriched, mature, and entertaining level. This was accomplished by expanding on the sub-genres fused with the…
CREEP
This early ’90s Grunge classic has some intriguing lyrics:“Take time with a wounded hand ’cause it likes to heal”,“Take time with a wounded hand ’cause I like to steal”. The “Wounded Hand” could belong to Jesus Christ, simply because Jesus was a healer and of course he had nails driven through his hands. Also, you…
HELLO, IT’S LATE
This song was created in the purple era but it was published years after that, there are some complications to state the who is the subject of this song. Scott was married to Janina Castaneda and got divorced in the February, 2000, it is known that Scott was seeing Mary Forsberg already in the 98′…
THE SECOND ALBUM

It was still grunge-y–sort of–but Scott Weiland had found…
VASOLINE
“Vasoline” is a song by Stone Temple Pilots from their second album, Purple. The song was the second single of the album (and also the second most successful, only behind “Interstate Love Song”), reaching #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for two weeks. The song’s odd-sounding intro was created by Robert DeLeo, who…
SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
In November 20, 1993, the band was the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” with host Nicole Kidman. Brothers Shawn and Lonnie Tubbs help out again (guitar and percussion respectively) on the acoustic rendition of “Creep”, just like the night before for MTV’s Unplugged. “Naked Sunday” is performed by STP as a 4-piece electric band….
IRVING PLAZA 2000 NEW YORK
“Every time we play here it’s always a really wonderful experience,” Scott Weiland said midway through Stone Temple Pilots’ secret show at New York’s Irving Plaza on Wednesday. “As long as I don’t wind up in jail.” Weiland, the frontiest frontman in the rock business, brought his band to the scene of his cancelled ’98…
