FunkyMonk Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Anyone here a big fan of STP? I really love them, especially recently I have just got back into them. Really loving Purple and Tiny Music right now, have them on pretty much non stop.They are quite amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I really dig Core. I haven't heard much of them, outside of that album. But it's way cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyMonk Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 The DeLeo brothers are seriously underrated. They are both class players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrShankly Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I've only heard a few songs by them, but i love them! I'm guessing the DeLeo brothers are the guitarists, I totally agree they are underrated! I'd only ever heard of them once before and it was on this forum and I play guitar myself. And when i've listened to Stone Temple Pilots, i've always thought their sound is different and thought they were great players. I'm surprised they never get mentioned anywhere.

moreblack Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) The De Leos are incredible writers. They've come up with some of my favorite riffs and melodies of all time. Put an insanely outgoing frontman like Scott Weiland who is a brilliant melodic writer and Eric Kretz with his tight pocket drumming and it's no wonder they appealed to so many people.Must download (or youtube) tunes:DownTripping On a HoleHollywood BitchLady Picture ShowHeaven And HotrodsComaDancing Days (Zeppelin cover)Break On Thru (Doors cover)VasolineSour Girl Edited May 14, 2007 by moreblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCGNR Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I love STP - The only album I disliked as a whole was No_4 - Purple is their best and I love Tiny Music too. Great riffs, distinct solos and great bass work - I don't believe Velvet Revolver even touches what STP did, but I guess that's just a matter of opinion.

GnRmaniac Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 STP are a great band, one of my all time favourites, every album they have released is great with the exception of Shangri La Dee Da. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_person Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Recently, I started to get into them. I have Core and I was a bit impressed with it. Great album. I want to get into some of their other stuff, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opax Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 All there stuff is great, I struggle to listen to Tiny Music and Shangri La Dee Da can drag on a bit, bt on the whole they are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrrulz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Core was their Pearl Jam/Nirvana rip off album. I didn't really like that style so I wasn't very impressed with it.They got my attention with Purple though. (I own all of their albums though and they are deffinitely in the top 5 of the 90's) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwideboss Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Core was their Pearl Jam/Nirvana rip off album. I didn't really like that style so I wasn't very impressed with it.Core is not a rip-off. And it is better than anything both those bands ever put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnrrulz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 First off I don't even like pear jam(has more to do with eddie vedder. I cant stand his voice) but even I will say ten is way better than core.If you listen to Core and then ten/teenspirit you can't say that they didn't try to copy that seatle sound. STP's other albums didn't sound like that. The grunge sound was what was popular at the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I own all of their albums though and they are deffinitely in the top 5 of the 90's)YES, YES AND YES!You said it perfectly gnrrulz. I did'nt care for Core when it came out, thought it sounded like Pearl Jam too, but when I heard Purple I was in awe of the melodies and the chorus' plus the classic riffs, all coming together.I stand by this: Weiland is a wonderful melody creator.

P.A. Guns Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 im really loving interstate love song right now...gorgeous song, esp the intro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnRmaniac Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Interstate Love Song and Big Empty are my favourites from the Purple album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Flower Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) The more I listen to STP, the more I appreciate Robert DeLeo. His bass playing in all of STP's songs is just really first class. He's got a really rich and gorgeous tone, and his melodic basslines are always tasteful and always complement the songs perfectly. He especially shines on the more low-tempo stuff, like Interstate Love Song and Atlanta.Dead DeLeo is just a really great, really versatile guitarist. The DeLeo's are very underrated.Check out Army Of Anyone, if you haven't already, btw. They team up with Ray Luzier (who is just one of the best drummers I've ever heard) and Richard Patrick from Filter. Father Figure and A Better Place are my fav tracks, but the whole album is pretty cool. Edited May 15, 2007 by Dead Flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Figure and A Better Place are my fav tracks, but the whole album is pretty cool.Those are my fave tracks, too. "A Better Place" is damn near hypnotic the way it flows--such a cool tune with a very sweet solo by Dean.A shame that album isn't doing better. A really solid debut...

Gallagher Rose Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 ShagriLa Dee Da is by far their most interesting and brilliant work.Some songs are pretty good,like "Song for Sleeping","Hello,It's Late" and "Wonderful" and Scott's vocals are nearly perfect.Like someone told here,Core have some strong grunge rip off which I dislike very much.
