Ok, I’m back on an STP kick, so let’s revisit the FYI I did on them from last August.
FYI: Stone Temple Pilots

Since I love Peanuts and STP, it’s only fitting that I would dig this Christmas tune; which happens to be one of my all time favorites.
STP’s version was recorded live back on December 19, 1994 for KROQ’s Almost Acoustic X-Mas show in L.A.
Scott proves how great of a singer he is and Dean DeLeo accompanies this with some smooth guitar work. It just fulls you up with holiday cheer!
Do yourself a favor and listen to it at STP’s MySpace page.

I think that this is a fitting Halloween song from one of my favorite bands, STP.
“All in the Suit That You Wear” appeared on the band’s 2003 greatest hits compilation, Thank You. It actually got some decent radio airplay as well.
The song was originally intended for 2002’s blockbuster Spider-Man soundtrack, however, it lost being the lead track to that “Hero” song. So, STP held on to it until Thank You.
The song is classic STP, which means that it’s awesome, and makes me miss them.

This was STP’s third, and in my opinion, their best album from 1996. While Core was a decent debut and Purple remains a classic; Tiny Music established STP as one of the best bands from the 90’s. The album was, and still is, incomparable to the rest of STP’s catalog.
Scott traded in his rougher pipes for a smoother set and proved that he had one of the best voices around. The DeLeo brothers beautifully blended some jazzy riffs with some 60’s style psychedelia. And, let’s not forget the underrated Eric Kretz holding it down with his sweet drumming. All …read more
