Stone Temple Pilots (abbreviated STP) was a popular Grammy Award-winning American rock band in the 1990s and early 2000s, comprised of Scott Weiland (vocals), brothers Robert (bass) and Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Eric Kretz (drums).
STP's five albums have sold over 17 million copies in the United States alone. The band had fifteen top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts, including six # 1's, and one # 1 album on the pop charts (1994's Purple). STP won the 1994 Grammy for the "Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal" for their song "Plush". In addition to their original material, they have also covered songs by Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The Beatles. These bands were some of the groups cited by the band as its influences.
In 2003, the band released the greatest hits compilation Thank You. Around this time, band members began going their separate ways. Since the band's demise, Weiland has moved on to become the frontman of Velvet Revolver with former members of Guns N' Roses. The DeLeo brothers have recently announced the formation of a new band, Army of Anyone, with Richard Patrick of Filter. Kretz founded Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles.

theo47For all the talk of them "ripping off" Pearl Jam, I've always liked STP as much as them or more.
Farhad2000Creed is more of a rip off of Pearl Jam then STP ever was...

agoposays...My all-time favorite band!
Too bad Weiland went downhill during the last ten years. Sometimes drugs bring out your most beautiful thoughts. And then sometimes they just fuck you up (talking to you, Weiland).
