The band returned to the studio one year later, emerging in 2010 with the release of Stone Temple Pilots, its self-titled sixth album. After clashes with his bandmates resulted in his exit from the group, Weiland reunited with STP and embarked on a successful reunion tour in 2008, with ticket sales reportedly totaling $230,000 per show. Stone Temple Pilots took another break between 20, during which time Weiland found renewed success as the frontman of Velvet Revolver. The audio-only edition featured 15 tracks - 13 hits spanning the group's entire career, an acoustic version of "Plush" dating from 1992, and the new track "All in the Suit That You Wear" - while a special CD/DVD format included three hours of videos, live performances, and behind-the-scenes footage. Two years later, STP issued the ambitious greatest-hits package Thank You. The band got back to basics with Shangri-La Dee Da, released in summer 2001.
Even so, a newly rejuvenated Stone Temple Pilots and a sober Weiland emerged stronger than ever during the new millennium. 4 Weiland was sentenced to a year in a Los Angeles county jail for violating his probation, which stemmed from an earlier conviction for heroin possession. To the surprise of many, Stone Temple Pilots then reunited, although shortly after completing 1999's No. Still battling his personal demons, Weiland recorded a 1998 solo album, 12 Bar Blues, while the remaining members of STP recruited vocalist Dave Coutts to record a self-titled LP under the band name Talk Show. Weiland's drug problems and the group's inability to support Tiny Music with a tour meant that the album couldn't replicate the success of its predecessors - by the end of the summer, it had fallen out the Top 50 and had stalled at platinum, which was considerably less than what the group's two previous albums achieved. Shortly after its release, Stone Temple Pilots announced that Weiland had relapsed and entered a drug rehabilitation facility, thereby canceling the group's plans for a summer tour. Released in the spring of 1996, Tiny Music.Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop, entered the charts at number four. Following his completion of the program, Stone Temple Pilots recorded their third album. In the spring of 1995, he was arrested for possession of heroin and cocaine, and was sentenced to a rehabilitation program.
No matter what the critics said, Stone Temple Pilots had undeniably catchy riffs and production there's a reason why over three million people bought their debut album, Core, and why their second album, Purple, shot to number one when it was released.įollowing the success of Purple and its accompanying tour, the band took some time off, during which the group's lead singer, Scott Weiland, developed a heroin addiction. Their closest antecedents were not the Sex Pistols or Hüsker Dü instead the band resembled arena rock acts from the '70s - they made popular hard rock that sounded good on the radio and in concert. STP were more concerned with tight song structure and riffs than punk rage.
And the influence of those bands was apparent in their music, although Stone Temple Pilots did manage to change things around a bit. Accused by many critics of being nothing more than ripoff artists who pilfered from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the bandmates nevertheless became major stars in 1993. Stone Temple Pilots were able to turn alternative rock into stadium rock naturally, they became the most critically despised band of their era.
