The band's debut album, Core, released in 1992, was a major commercial success and STP went on to become one of the most successful bands of the 1990s, selling more than 18 million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide. In 2016, the band launched an online audition for a new lead vocalist they announced Jeff Gutt as the new lead singer on November 14, 2017.Īfter forming in 1989 under the name Mighty Joe Young, the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots. Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington joined the band in May 2013 but left amicably in November 2015. The band's line-up remained unchanged from its formation in 1989 until the firing of Weiland in February 2013. Cold sober or high as a kite, he was always a wonderful person! Rest in peace, love.Stone Temple Pilots (also known by the initials STP) is an American rock band from San Diego, California, that originally consisted of Scott Weiland (lead vocals), brothers Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass, backing vocals), and Eric Kretz (drums). That said, I wanted to tell people what a random nobody from the middle of Illinois' experience was with him.

I have to say that I loved that man all his life.

I stayed with him until I was sure someone was there to really take care of him, but by that time, everyone seemed so tired and annoyed, no one seemed to care much, anymore.

He was full of hugs and "What has your life been like?" and everything. The thing about Scotty, though, was after like 6 hours of talk on a random day in the 90s, he still recognized me and knew my name so high he could barely function. There was never any judgement from me, but I was super worried about. He was so high, I had to help him to the Green Room. The next time I saw him, was backstage at an event in 2003. It's one of the top 10 experiences in my life. We sat there, eating sushi and drinking saki for hours, talking the music industry, where the band was headed, love, life. He invited me to join him, Robert, & Dean. It was just after they'd left the Mighty Joe moniker, so their fame wasn't so astronomical that he was inaccessible, but I'd already heard a Core sample, early on, so I was like, "OMG." Totally, embarrassingly fangirl. I met Scotty in a Japanese restaurant in Soho back in the early 90s.
