Overview

Gracious Melodies: Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots From the moment they arrived in September 1992 with their cerebral debut album Core, Stone Temple Pilots rightfully earned a prominent place on the international rock stage. The American lineup-fronted by the versatile and charismatic Scott Weiland, and completed by brothers Robert and Dean DeLeo (on bass and guitar, respectively) and Eric Kretz (on drums)-continued to evolve and refine their sound through a series of high-quality records: Purple, Tiny Music... Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop, as well as the lesser-known-but no less intriguing-No. 4 and Shangri-La Dee Da. The history of Stone Temple Pilots, though marked by great achievements and massive success, was ultimately compromised by Weiland's personal struggles, which led to his passing from an accidental overdose in December 2015. A troubled yet truly talented artist-also famous as the frontman of the supergroup Velvet Revolver-Weiland was the last great rock star in the most traditional sense of the term, capable of embodying the very essence of performance in a way that only the likes of Jim Morrison or David Bowie had been able to do before him.
