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.

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…

No4

19 years ago today, Stone Temple Pilots released their fourth album, and you’ll never guess what they called it!.

TIERRA ROJA, SANGRE ROJA

I knew my brother owned Velvet Revolver’s debut album CONTRABAND, and that it had been in his collection ever since it was first released in 2004. I decided to borrow the album from him, as I was desperate to listen to it after watching the Ozzfest 2005 footage. I only knew one Velvet Revolver song…

THE WONDERGIRLS

A onetime Scott Weiland project called the Wondergirls may have some unreleased music featuring the vocalist en route.
