The Stone Temple Pilots Thread

Dumb Love grew on me a lot. I don't think I was overly impressed with it at first, either. Also, Transmissions from a Lonely Room is pretty great.

Dumb Love really paid off for me once I got it. The last 40 seconds or so are freaking fantastic.

Long-running bands replacing their lead singers is apparently building into a bit of a trend. First, AC/DC replaced Brian Johnson, due to his hearing concerns, with Axl Rose, who has reunited his own band Guns N’ Roses, as well. Now, Stone Temple Pilots have also found a new singer that you may already be familiar with. If he is to be believed, Stone Temple Pilots are now going to be fronted by Scott Stapp.

Yes, Scott Stapp, the oft maligned singer best known for his work in Creed, says he is in line to be the latest man to front the Stone Temple Pilots. Scott Weiland, the original lead singer of the band, sadly passed on late last year after a lifetime of drug issues, and his replacement, Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, has left the band.

Stapp spoke on an Atlanta radio station to promote his solo tour, and said he could “neither confirm or deny” that he would be taking over as the singer for Stone Temple Pilots, but he also said:

“I’m excited to be back out on the road also been working on a new album with a new group of guys. Guys from some pretty well-known rock bands that you guys will know. I can’t really share the details about it but there’s a lot of good things going on that I can’t tell you till later in June when we’ll be making the announcement… This other band I’m jamming with is its own band with its own band name.”

While Stapp does have experience singing for a successful rock band, and seems to make sense for a band like Stone Temple Pilots, he is not without his own baggage. And it’s entirely possible he’s just ginning up excitement for fronting a less beloved act. However, if STP are determined to press on without Weiland or Bennington, they have to look somewhere.

STP already debunked that.

Creed's first album was really good!!

Spoiler: show

Disagree? Go f*ck yourself.

I wish this was soundboard quality because this is an awesome fucking performance. The band and Scott sound great.

dude you really gotta school yourself on the youtube function.

[evenslow]

i mean, i'm pretty lazy and i'm probably the least lazy around here. even i don't want to go so far as to click a link to watch the thing on another page. so i guarantee 76% of RM doesn't do it either. people will watch if you take the extra 5 seconds to make that shit play on the page. this has been today's message boarding hot tip from your fav pal, evenslow.

I never listened to Army Of Anyone before. It's pretty good.

[bune]

It's certainly good enough that I think Patrick should have kept it going instead of the last two (or is it three now?) Filter albums.

[bada]

From what I read it didn't do well so they gave up just like Talk Show. I assume thats why they insisted on using the STP moniker with Chester for name recognition. I have to imagine that asked Patrick if he wanted in STP after Chester left and he said no. I don't blame him. I guess Chester got it pretty bad on social media and the like when he replaced/filled in for Scott.

I really wish they would just put out the whole package they put together for core's 20th anniversary that they scarped. Apparently they had a like 2 solid lives shows attached to it.

A Song for Sleeping was probably my favorite song from that album but I admit its lost some of its luster after it came out what a shit Weiland was too his kids. Assuming that's true.

No 4 still hasn't gelled for me. Tiny Music has risen

Purple
Tiny Music
Shangri-la
Core
ST
No4.

[PHATJ]

Been listening to Shangri-La... quite a bit lately. It's continued to grow. I even really enjoy Dumb Love now, which I hated at first. It's sort of like if Michael Bay produced "Down" from No. 4. It's got this cool, rubbery sort of vibe to the riffs. I know it's sort of a dumb song, but it sure is fun...

I think my hands-down favorites from this album are Days of the Week, Too Cool Queenie, Regeneration, and Long Way Home. Regeneration is probably my most favorite; I just love the bounce it has. The only one I still hate is A Song for Sleeping; that song is garbage.

I haven't listened to Purple in a while, so this ranking has an asterisk, but right now I'd go:

1. No. 4
2. Tiny Music...
3. Shangri-la...
4. Purple
5. Core
(I haven't ever listened to S/T)

Sweet! I told you Shangri-La was a grower! I had basically the same reaction to Dumb Love. I hated it initially, then (out of nowhere) it just clicked for me and I really liked it. I still don't get the love for No.4, although Glide, Atlanta and Down are great (and Sour Girl is pretty good too) the rest does little to nothing for me.
