I saw STP a few times during the 90s. Fun shows and he was a heck of frontman.

I saw them once at a festival show (HFStival in DC), and it was a good show for that environment. Them and RATM were the headliners.

I was never a huge fan of the STP, but they certainly have a handful of songs I really like.

That was my experience as well. I went to that festival for Filter and STP and had fun until the clouds and rain came through. Everyone was suddenly soaked and freezing and the day seemed like a loss, but STP were what a lot of people seemed to be waiting for in the early evening. Then they were delayed and Blue Man Group took the stage unannounced when they weren't all that well known to kill time. The crowd grew restless and annoyed, but when they finally took the stage and filled their slot with hit after hit it was fantastic. Scott was on point and his voice sounded fine. An hour of solid rock n' roll. The only time I'd ever see 'em.

And then it all fell apart. I saw Army of Anyone in Baltimore years later and got to meet Richard and the DeLeo brothers. They couldn't have been nicer, more down to earth, chill people. Polite, kind, funny. I'll always remember that and will forever be a fan of anything those guys release.

Seeing STP this summer with Chester was a let down, but at least a small celebration of some cool rock music that was always in the background of our youth. I kept thinking I was watching a cover band, and how it would've sounded so much better with Scott on stage.

Flipping through news articles online, there's a bit from Dean DeLeo from last spring where he said Scott disappeared long ago and the person that he'd known was no longer there. Its always been expected, but still a big bummer now that its happened.

Rest in peace.

One of my favorite Weiland vocals is "Atlanta". Still a haunting song.

Hell yes. A lot of their deep cuts were better than the singles. Atlanta, Still Remains, Unglued, Seven Caged Tigers, All In The Suit That You Wear, You Can't Drive Me Away.

Stone Temple Pilots' Open Letter to Scott Weiland

Dear Scott,

Let us start by saying thank you for sharing your life with us.

Together we crafted a legacy of music that has given so many people happiness and great memories.

The memories are many, and they run deep for us.

We know amidst the good and the bad you struggled, time and time again.

It’s what made you who you were.

You were gifted beyond words, Scott.

Part of that gift was part of your curse.

With deep sorrow for you and your family, we are saddened to see you go.

All of our love and respect.

We will miss you brother,

Robert, Eric, Dean

Those guys share such a weird story...i could see them playing again together at some point...Really weird.

For whatever reason I thought of this song first today. Always loved the glammed out Beatles sound of it.

Thats a really cool one....i love his first two solo albums.

Such a great tune on a very underrated album. Been listening to this album today.

Simple Torture wrote:True talk, and not trying to take away from people's thoughts today, but: for some reason, I never got into STP. I knew all of their singles that were on the radio, but I never bought an album, couldn't name all of their albums, and can't name a single non-album song. When Velvet Revolver was a thing, I didn't get the hype. It's odd, too, because it seems like a band like STP would have been right in my wheelhouse.

that's because stp was pretty mediocre and generically 90s

I think I've listened to Atlanta and Glide on repeat all day today.

Yeah I really liked that song and totally forgot about it. Mockingbird Girl was good too
