Stone Temple Pilots were able to make alternative rock into arena stone; of course, they became the most critically despised band of their geological era. Accused by many critics of organism zero more than than heist artists, pilfering from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the band withal became major stars in 1993. And the influences of those bands
are seeming in their music, simply Stone Temple Pilots do make out to change things around a bit. STP are more implicated with tight song structure and riffs than punk fury. Their nighest antecedents ar non the Sex Pistols or Hüsker Dü; instead the band resembles bowl stone acts of the Apostles from the '70s -- it's popular hard stone that sounds good on the radio and in concert. No thing what the critics mightiness say, Stone Temple Pilots have undeniably catchy riffs and production; there's a reason why over three one thousand thousand people bought their debut album,
Core, and why their irregular record album,
Over-embellished, injection to number one when it was released.
Following the success of
Purple and its accompanying duty tour, the band took some time off, during which the group's lead isaac Bashevis Singer, Scott Weiland, highly-developed a heroin addiction. In the spring of 1995, he was arrested for possession of diacetylmorphine and cocaine, and was sentenced to a rehabilitation computer programme. Following his culmination of the programme, Stone Temple Pilots recorded their third record album. Released in the spring of 1996,
Diminutive Music...Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop, entered the charts at number four. Shortly after its release, Stone Temple Pilots proclaimed that Weiland had relapsed and entered a do drugs rehabilitation facility, thereby canceling the group's plans for a summer term of enlistment. Weiland's do drugs problems and the group's unfitness to backing
Flyspeck Music with a circuit meant that the album couldn't repeat the achiever of its predecessors -- by the end of the summer, it had fallen out the Top 50 and had stalled at atomic number 78, which was substantially less than what the group's deuce previous albums achieved.
Still battling his personal demons, Weiland recorded a 1998 solo album,
12 Bar Blues, piece the unexpended members of STP recruited vocalist Dave Coutts to platter a self-titled LP under the refer Talk Show. To the surprise of many onlookers, Stone Temple Pilots so reunited, although shortly after complemental 1999's
No. 4 Weiland was sentenced to a year in a Los Angeles county pokey for violating his probation stemming from an sooner condemnation for heroin possession. A freshly rejuvenated Stone Temple Pilots and a sedate Weiland emerged stronger than of all time during the new millennium. The band got back to basics on
Eden Dee Da, released in summer 2001. Two geezerhood later, STP issued the challenging greatest-hits package
Thank You. The audio-only edition featured 15 tracks -- 13 hits spanning the group's entire career, an acoustic version of "Plush" geological dating from 1992, and the new track "All in the Suit That You Wear."
Thank You likewise appeared in a CD/DVD format that included trey hours of videos, live performances, and sub-rosa footage.
