Scootray Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 One of their tunes, "Creep" came on my reccommended radio at Last.fm and I quite liked it. Anyone got any reccommendations of albums/tracks to check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I recommend that you steer clear of them as they are utter mince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 Haha, so it was maybe just that tune then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 You may have gotten "lucky" there. They're very much in the lower ends of 90's alt. rock garbage. The only interesting thing about them is the amount of times Scott Weiland has been arrested for heroin possession.They have recently reformed, not that anyone cares (or should).

waltz Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 According to Stephen Malkmus:"the stone temple pilots,they're elegant bachelorsthey're foxy to me are they foxy to you?i will agree they deserve absolutely nothingnothing more than me"I've actually never heard them, but I hear they're not so good.

Monster Zero Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think their first 2 albums are quite good, certainly worth getting if you like Creep. People dismiss them as Grunge also-rans but some of their songs stand up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 "Core" and "Purple" are great. The rest of their albums are very hit and miss, mostly miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I always closely associate Stone Temple Pilots with Smashing Pumpkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Fudge Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 i saw them at the Barras years ago touring Purple and was ASTONISHED at how good they were live. seriously. i've seen a few bands, and they were fucking brilliant in a venue that size. you probably think i'm joking, but i'm not.although last time i played them in the moorings, Flash came up and i quote: "who the fuck is this? it's shit."so it's maybe not for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I saw them at Reading in 93 or 94.I'll never get that 50 minutes of my life back & this thread has brought the utter shiteness of it all back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepeep Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I was just listening to Core this weekend in the car...how strange.I liked Core and Purple (first two LP's)...they did get a slagging for "jumping on the grunge bandwagon"...whatever that fucking means!I think they've got some great tunes, and some ding ones too.I too saw them at reading, and loved them...If I stayed and watched a show for 50 mins I absolutly hated, I'd be slagging myself off for a - being lazyb - being stupidc - looking for something to moan about (not unlike any other happy aberdonian looking for the finer things in life and not getting bogged down with negativity!)but, I guess the only other thing on at reading when STP were playing were Carter USM or Mega City Four ?....didn't think so!

It was 14 years ago so I haven't the faintest clue of my reasoning at the time - I do remember being quite far from the stage though. Hell, I can't even remember if I did actaully stay the entire set. Whether this makes lazy, stupid or a moaner is something only you can decide.

Monster Zero Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I always closely associate Stone Temple Pilots with Smashing Pumpkins.STP have far more songs I like than Smashing Pumpkins.....the 4th STP album was also quite good.....the first VR album was OK and they were good when I saw them live at that time, but the 2nd one is pish.
