Thoughts on Scott’s work with VR

So what are y’all’s thoughts on Scott’s work with Velvet Revolver? Do you like it as STP fans? Contraband came out in 2004, and I’m not saying it’s better than any of STP’s first three albums, but I genuinely think it can hold its own with them. That album is packed with bangers: “Slither,” “Fall to Pieces,” “Sucker Train Blues,” “Loving the Alien.” You can tell Scott still had a ton left in the tank creatively at that point.

And as much as I love the DeLeo brothers, come on, Scott Weiland and Slash together is just such a badass combination. Then you throw in Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum from Guns N’ Roses, and it’s almost impossible for that lineup not to make great music.

STP 2018 Opinions?

How do we feel about the self titled STP album without Scott from 2018l? Honestly for me, it had some okay songs but it just wasn't it..

And it's not even about the fact that Scott isnt there on the vocals, even the instrumental delivery and general vibe of the songs felt different from their core formula from the 90s in like 90% of the cases.

Watched Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and it's quite good!

New Queen fan here!!

Researched alot about Queen and Freddie's life before watching the movie, when I did, it was quite good. The pacing, runtime, storyline, storytelling, almost everything felt perfect. There were some inaccuracies i do agree, but it didn't changed the way the story was going or didn't felt distracting, and we all know NONE OF THE BIOPICS are 100% accurate.

I don't understand why this movie gets so much hate, because it's well-made and those inaccuracies are minor and doesn't really makes the story distracting or distorting for Queen fans or other people. Let me know your thoughts, I would rate this movie 10/10 because this movie has more rewatchability than any other biopics ever made. I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan but even his biopic is not that rewatchable as much as I liked this biopic.

The Deleo brothers interview with Billy Corgan

I just wanted to say that I loved this interview. I have learned a ton of things about them and Corgan brings in a very interesting perspective.

Best song from "Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" or maybe from their entire discography. I'm listening this song for almost 1 week every day it's just mind-blowing.

18 Years Ago, I Saw Stone Temple Pilots Play WMMR's 40th Birthday Bash

18 years ago, I saw Stone Temple Pilots headline the WMMR-BQ at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ - which also served as the famed radio station's 40th birthday bash. I had seen Scott Weiland play with Velvet Revolver four times, but this was my first (and only) time seeing him play with STP. And he looked and sounded great - which I know how lucky I am to say that (as it was well reported how fans who attended some dates on that very same reunion tour sadly couldn't say the same). Even though that radio station festival's bill also featured the like of Staind, the Hooters and Everclear, it was instantly clear why STP were the headliners - playing hit after hit during a high-energy rock show.

Here's a clip of them playing "Lady Picture Show" (a fna favorite off "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" - which celebrated its 30th anniversary this past March).

What's your favorite set from a radio station festival? Share in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come (including stories from concerts like this)!

Whats your top 10 stp songs?

You guys know the drill.

1 Adhesive - This song doesnt get talked about too much, but in my opinion it blows the rest of the stp songs out of the water. This song is so significantly above than the rest of the bands discography (not to say their discography is bad, its amazing, adhesive is just better). It has aspect to me that feel similar to prog rock music (the chorus on adhesive kinda sounds like the chorus on king crimsons court of the Crimson King title track), and the trumpet solo is a perfect artistic choice.

2 Too Cool Queenie - The most effortlessly cool stp song. Its short and sweet with one of my all time favorite guitar solos. Its heroic and meaningful and will always hold a special place to me.

3 And So I Know - Another very underrated song off of Tiny Music. This song has some kf the most beautiful moments in any stp song. The guitar solo is amazing and the little hidden piano solo near the end is just wow.

4 Bi Polar Bear - Its really just the part from 4:00to the end. Idek how to describe its like sitting in a green field in the spring with a light breeze, just wow. Beyond moving.

5 Pops Love Suicide - Scotts voice definitely takes some getting used to on this one, but once u get used to it its perfection. The dark and groovy riffs mixed with the dark lyrics create a cool and aggressive atmosphere, and the solo at the end is amazing.

6 Hello Its Late - The guitar solo on this song is my favorite guitar solo on any song ever. Idk how to describe that feeling, its like flying past the sun. This song feels exactly like its name, like driving through a desert at night alone.

7 Trippin - I dont think I have to say much for this one, what a song, what a solo.

8 A Song for Sleeping - Such a sweet song tor scotts son, but to me it reminds me of how my mom probably looked at me, which is incredibly special.

9 Daisy - A really cool instrumental. An entire story is told through 2 guitars, and its just such an emotional song. I love stripped back stuff like this.

10 Hollywood Bitch - I love love love how groovy and cool the different sections of this song are. I wish it had some form of solo cause then it would be even better, but still.

My list ended up just alternating SLDD and tiny music, oops. But those are my 2 favorites so ig it works. :P

Honorable mentions: Big Empty, Plush (acoustic MTV headbanger), Ride the Cliche, Glide, Pruno, Atlanta, First Kiss on Mars, Maver

new listener, really enjoying it, any recommendations?

i’m looking for more bands like this, i’ve been listening to a lot of pearl jam, temple of the dog, alice in chains, mad season, staind, so i guess mostly grunge, took me 19 years to start appreciating music and find my own taste so im open to anything, i just want to expand and explore.

First Kiss on Mars

No I am not a bot, this isn't a bot post. First kiss on mars is easily my favorite song on the 2010 album , and honestly probably in my top 10 stp songs. I dont like the 2010 album very much, but first kiss on mars is such a standout to me that it genuinely floors me every time I listen to it. It feels like hanging out with your friends on a warm summer night. Its just cheery and alive. Im surprised it seems to be one of the less popular songs off the album when to me it has a lot of mainstream pop appeal. Its rated really low on album of the year and I cant figure out why. Its definitely the most david Bowie stp song, but Bowies really popular so I feel like that should make it more popular. Thoughts? Dare if you dare, maver, and about a fool are also amazing songs that i listen to a lot. Yes im a yt music user.

Converting

I make a point to play STP loudly in my car to turn people on. Today at a red light, during the guitar solo on Sin the guy in the next lane yelled “what is that?” Told him what was up, and for more information about stp to consult your local library. Also doing some karaoke where the young folks go, sang interstate ls last night and trippin on a hole is next on the list. I consider it a public good to get young people on great music.

STP 2018 is genuinely good

Its genuinely an enjoyable album. The songs are grungier and catchier than stp 2010. Stp 2010 was objectively a really weak record I think, but 2018 actually has really good mood and atmosphere, I think people (including me) just hate to see Scott replaced. I enjoy almost all of the songs on here as opposed to the 3 I like on 2010. Its not as good as most of their earlier stuff, but six eight and roll me under are definitely 2 of my favorite stp sk gs.
