They did the same thing at the Fillmore here in Denver the next year. This didn’t seem like a band just reliving the 90′s they seemed current, fun and non-apologetic. The Berkeley stop was not only nostagilic, as I hoped it would be, it was a kick-ass rock show. That show made me a believer in Weiland‘s rock-star skills, if not in his new found sobrity. When STP announced their comeback in 2008 I probably would have laughed it off if I had not seen Velvet Revolver rock the shit out of the Live 8 stage in London a couple years prior. I have now seen them 3 times in as many years since their reunion and they have never let me down, as improbable as that might sound. I only saw STP once in their heyday, at SDSU in 1995. Sober or not, I have to say Scott and the rest of Stone Temple Pilots are proving they arn’t just some over-aged rockers trying to cash in on a fading popularity. If Scott Weiland is sober, he could’ve fooled me. Stone Temple Pilot's include Bennington release the single "Out of Time" in May 2013. In 2013 it was announced Weiland had been fired from the group and his official replacement Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. Stone Temple Pilots’ members reconciled with one another at a private beach party they were asked to play which led to the announcement of a 65-date North American tour and an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Shortly after in 2008 Weiland released his sophomore solo album ““Happy” in Galoshes” and the Stone Temple Pilots release a self-titled sixth studio album on May 25, 2010. After releasing two album “Contraband” in 2004 and “Libertad” in 2007, Weiland left the group. In 2003 label Atlantic Records pushed a greatest hits album, and frontman Weiland formed the successful supergroup Velvet Revolver with Guns N’ Roses members Slash, Matt Sorum and Duff McKagan and former Wasted Youth guitarist Dave Kushner. The same year Stone Temple Pilots reunited and began work on “Shangri-La Dee Da” which got its release in the summer of 2001, although with a lack of label promotion the album was a commercial disappointment.
A year later frontman Weiland released his debut solo album “12 Bar Blues” in 1998 to moderate critical acclaim. The band without Weiland under the moniker Talk Show released one eponymously titled album in 1997 before calling it a day. After the release Weiland, who had previously struggled with a heroin addiction, relapsed and the band cancelled their tour and support lot on Kiss’ reunion tour. The album was a favourite of the band’s among critics although it failed to hold such popular commercial appeal as its predecessors. Taking a more glam rock, psychedelic rock direction Stone Temple Pilots’ third studio album “Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop” was recorded at a rented mansion in Santa Barbara, California, U.S. Selling over three million copies in just four months, “Purple” was led by the hits “Vasoline” and “Interstate Love Song”. Stone Temple Pilots debuted the song “Big Empty” on an episode on MTV Unplugged in 1993 in anticipation of their sophomore album “Purple” in June 1994. The album claimed significant commercial success, however the band were seen by the critical press as grunge imitators, copying the revered band such as Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.
The band signed with Atlantic Records in 1992, the same year Stone Temple Pilots released their debut album “Core” which peaked at No. After developing a fan base by playing regularly in the San Diego area they were informed the name Mighty Joe Young had already been claimed and thus came Stone Temple Pilots. As Mighty Joe Young the band recorded and released a demo in 1990, many of which tracks featured on the band’s debut LP.
Stone Temple Pilots, formerly known as Swing and Mighty Joe Young, was originally formed of frontman Scott Weiland, bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Eric Kretz and guitarist Dean DeLeo.
