FALL TO PIECES (THE BOOK)
Around the time that The Strokes were first being hyped-up-the-ass in the press as the Saviors of Rock – while simultaneously confounding my senses with their hopelessly derivative, shitty music – I found myself in the NYC office of that band’s publicist. This particular guy, who I’ll call Ken, because that is his name, had…
ROADIE CHEFS
On June 19th 2001, Stone Temple Pilots fifth studio album, Shangri – La Dee Da was released to mixed to good reviews. In truth this would prove to be STP’s most experimental record to date, touching on every influence from The Doors and The Beatles right through to Bowie, with the heavier aspects of the band…
WESTERLY RANCH 1996
What does it take to create a best-selling album, talent obviously. But what else energy, focus, dreams, luck and maybe a little magic. STP find all of these things and more when they team up with their personal chef Jaime Laurita in a spectacular retreat in the hills above Malibu California mansion rented for 3…
CINNAMON
In 2010, STONE TEMPLE PILOTS reunited and released a new album that, against almost all odds, didn’t suck. In fact, the self-titled LP—their first new studio release in over nine years—was pretty damn good, showing a quartet that sounded more grounded and mature, both musically and mentally. But, still, there are certain things that will…

THE SECOND ALBUM
I remember when Purple first arrived at the radio station ahead of its June 7, 1994, release. We were expecting more grunge-like tracks along the lines of “Plush” and “Sex-Type Thing, ” so we were all a little surprised to find that STP had, well, evolved. It was still grunge-y–sort of–but Scott Weiland had found…
I WON’T USE MEGAPHONE IN LIVE SHOW
New STONE TEMPLE PILOTS vocalist Jeff Gutt said in an interview with Detroit News that one of late STP singer Scott Weiland’s signature stage props — a megaphone — will not find its way into Gutt’s act. According to The Pulse Of Radio, Gutt explained that the megaphone was “sacred” with Weiland, adding, “There’s nothing…
CAMDEN 2010 NEW JERSEY
Alice In Chains and Stone Temple Pilots meet up for one night in Camden NJ as headliners for the WMMR’s BBQ. Both bands blew away the near capacity crowd at the Susquehanna Bank Center. Stone Temple Pilots rocked the New Jersey stadium with their energy and charisma which was assisted by the psychedelic video big…
THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR
Commercialism and consumerism can easily bring out the Grinch in even the most ardent Christmas enthusiast. It seems as though nobody’s immune to picking the pockets of their fans with some sappy yuletide wishes. Bono once informed everyone that “There won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas,” Bob Dylan had a disaster of a Christmas…
HAPPY IN GALOSHES
“Happy” in Galoshes is the second solo album by Scott Weiland. Weiland, known for his roles as the lead singer in Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, released his first album, 12 Bar Blues in 1998. Ten years later, “Happy” in Galoshes served as the official follow-up. Two versions have been released, a single disc…
