Velvet Revolver is okay at best. STP was incredible. In. Cred. Ib. Le.

I'd like to see both bands keep going.

never having seen STP live, i can't credibly argue.

But VR live? That was amazing. Scott's got amazing charisma, and he just seems to mesh so well with Slash

Agreed. STP was great, and I'm not really a fan of VR.

I'm kind of on the fence on it. I do want the reformation, because I love the band. I don't want them to reform because I think that, basically, they've run their course. I just don't know!

I saw VR live at the 9:30 Club here in D.C. Don't get me wrong, it was a terrific show, but the music doesn't even compare to the stuff off Core, Purple and Tiny Music.

No shiat?

this what would be awesome. VR rocks live, but I've wanted to see STP live.

VR was awesome live when I saw them. Weiland definitely looked like he was on something, but he is a true rock star.

So is Scott Weiland missing or are Stone Temple Pilots reuniting?

/no, I can't be bothered to read the articles!

And then nothing. And the second two are a stretch. And the last two are better off forgoten.

Mark my words here and now:

We will see future tours and new records from STP, VR, AOA, LOL, and BBQ within the next 5 years.

But we will not see Chinese Democracy.

PigCharmer: And then nothing. And the second two are a stretch. And the last two are better off forgoten.

Purple was good too, the rest have a few decent songs between them, but I've always liked the old stuff.

I'd love to see STP live, now can i haz a Soundgarden reunion?

/from Seattle
//stuck in the 90s

STP is pretty descent live from the few shows I've seen. If they come through here I might go see em.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Velvet Revolver but I never thought to actively look at the tour schedule and I never heard any ads or anything saying they'd be playing near me. Looks like I missed that boat unless I were willing to drive several states away.

If you never got to see STP when they were together, try and hit a reunion show if ya can.

Too bad they can't go back in time a couple of rehab stints...

PigCharmer: And then nothing. And the second two are a stretch.

Tiny Music is their best album by far. What kind of crack are you on? Seriously. This is not a rhetorical question.

I saw STP at the Nassau Coliseum in LI in Nov '96 and a day later at MSG. Two amazing shows.

/was always waiting for Weiland to OD after Cobain (suicide, I know), Hoon, and Nowell.
//happy it never happened

/Xanax and 4 dried grams of shrooms. it's gonna be and interesting night.

Stp is my fav band of all time, i finally got to see one of their shows and it turned out to be their last one ever, talk about the luck. i dont care if i gotta quit work, im going to see their show when they come around,
also, rockband full ablum wish is core

Alice in Chains was better. The first Pearl Jam album alone was better. Nirvana was better.

They were better than Soundgarden though...not that that says much. Black Hole Sun just gets old after awhile. Blow Up The Outside World was good though. But....that's pretty much it from them. Audioslave was terrible...wonder why. Rage Against the Machine was great.

JBKMDX:

Wait. What just happened here?

Purple is one of my fav rock albums of the 90s. Core was good, as was Tiny Music, I lost interest after that due to Scott constantly farking things up. Saw live in '96 I think, hell of a show (had acoustic set in the middle).

Huh? Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger were killer albums, WAAAAYYY better than anything STP put out.

Saw STP years ago and was "meh", saw VR this year (w AIC opening who were excellent) and left 3 songs in. Scott Weiland never did it for me.

I clowned on STP a little at first only because MTV played the Plush video http://way.to.god.dam.much/. And yes, Scott, you did sound like Eddie in that song.

But afterwards, and thanks to the Crow soundtrack, I realized they rocked pretty good. Amazing guitar work. And as cheesy at it may sound, it's been 15 years but I still know almost all the words to Core and Purple. That's not something that happens that often in modern rock I've discovered.

Oh, and...


As much as I liked the Nirvana Unplugged session, STP's was better, as was Alice In Chains.

BUT SCOTT WEILAND IS MISSING!!!

weiland, like most front men, makes a fool of himself onstage.
Ever watch him doing that Van Halen tune with VR at VH's rock and roll hall of fame induction? good for a laugh

Depends - are you referencing today or 12 years ago?

Have U Seen My Dickens: BUT SCOTT WEILAND IS MISSING!!!

They got the dude from Filter. Hopefully his balls have grown a bit.

I don't remember that guy as anything other than "Weiland" the wannabe Layne Staley from a fake-ass Alice in Chains ripoff band. And that Velvet Revolver video...

I'm so confused. I read 2 headlines, one says Scott Weiland is missing. The other says that he must be somewhere, as STP are planning to play some shows this summer. wtf gives?

Pearl Jam's first four or five albums > all of STP's albums combined, ever.

/troll off.

// srsly, though...
STP had some great [radio?] hits...rocky but catchy and poppy too.
Good sound too.

STP are hellishly underrated. Didn't really get into Army Of Anyone (the band minus Scott, plus the guy from Filter) - too compressed and shiny. But the production on Tiny Music never ceases to amaze me - it's just so different to anything else, particularly of the time.

I would go to a STP show just to hear Sex Type Thing.

i saw them twice. best concerts i've ever been to and i saw page n plant.

For some reason I never liked Pearl Jam or STP. They struck me as phony. Strangely, I always dismissed the other band members from Pearl Jam as some lucky-but-experienced local guys who got hooked up with new-guy-in-town Dumbfark Vedder and made some money--no bad feeling, but just the backup guys in a manufactured band. The guys in STP always struck me as victims of their idiot singer.

saw them a few times..

purple tour, and twice on the No4 tour. awesome shows, especially the purple show.


but that last album was total shang-ri-la-dee-CRAP.

JBKMDX: Black Hole Sun just gets old after awhile.

You need to hear it sung by steve and eydie.

...there will be the sound of a giant leaden thud.

//and then amused snickers of WTF was that crap??

Nice to hear support for VR. I thought I was the only one. That first album is perfect, imo; 'Just Sixteen' from this last album is killer. I really would like a few more albums from them before it's all over. The last album tanked commercially so this might facilitate a break-up. Dunno; hope not. Saw STP at the Orpheum (Boston) way far in the back so can't give a good review of that live show; saw VR two years later at Avalon 2nd row from the stage. It was AWES. Weiland and crew f'in brought it.

As goes the STP catalogue, I remember listening to Shangri-La Dee Da in the summer of '01 and not being that impressed. Then after years of returns to that album realized that it would be on par with the other albums if a few songs had been taken out. 'Regeneration'; 'Too Cool Queenie' stand out as being pretty awesome. I thought half of #4 was pretty good, too. All 5 albums make for a pretty strong set.

Please come to Texas. Please come to Texas. Please come to Texas.

/need to see STP and the Pumpkins (i'll settle for Billy, Jimmy, and whoever)to complete my favorite band list
//really want to see the Toadies again
///missed them last month but the show i saw in 02 was the best concert i've ever been to

I was there for the taping of that show. It was awesome.

/That's my brush with greatness.

///I won the trip to NYC for the show. Thanks, KMOD!

Went to their St. Louis show in Summer '00. It was great, they played a lot off of Core and Purple and their best then-new stuff of of No. 4.

If they go anywhere in the midwest this time around, I'm going.

If I can get a chance to see STP live again for a third time, I'll take it. Saw them twice, first time with Cheap Trick of all bands, and they were GREAT. Scott farked up the second show though, kept talking shiat with some guy in the audience who groped some girl. Only NIN and Soundgarden put on a better show. And I only list Soundgarden because I was lucky enough to have caught them on their last tour. So that was just special.
