Robert DeLeo, Eric Kretz, and Dean DeLeo remember late singer Scott Weiland's drug battles, jail time, and when Stone Temple Pilots briefly got back on track.
I absolutely adore No 4. You can really tell that they were back on point on this album. There are some really great songs here. Sour Girl is one of the last great music videos.
@Jay Sharp Purple is phenomenal. I love No.4 because they stretched and played outside of their comfort level. That's the mark of an excellent band. They did it on Purple at the time as well. Brilliant songwriting on both!
I saw STP on the tour for this album - a show in New Orleans. I believe it was June 2000. Scott and the band were absolutely on fire that night. It (a rock n roll show) honestly doesn't get any better than that. So it must've been post-jail for Scott. The fans were blown away. As everyone walked out of the theater everyone was like "Holy shit, that was THE best rock n roll show I've ever seen." I've never forgotten that show. Don't think it'll ever be topped for me.
He may have more to say but I think he's letting the DeLeo Brothers talk on purpose. It's better than those shows where people constantly interrupt each other and just talk monologues
One of the biggest best-selling bands of the 90s, so underrated I mean no one has heard of them they only get played on the radio every moment of the day anywhere in the western world! But they were UNDERRATED. Small band.
I'm an addict. It's very difficult for families and friends. These guys did what they could or did what they thought they could. I think they truly loved him and wanted him to find happiness. Scott, you were the best and you are missed. RIP Scott Weiland.
I met Scott and Dean and Southern Tracks studio, Atlanta during the pre tour promotion of that album and also saw them in concert later on tour. AMAZING!
I find myself listening to more songs off of 4 now then I ever did when it was released. Atlanta Down Heaven and Hot Rods Sour girl Album is great. But anything off of their 1st 4 albums is gold to me.
These guys don't get nearly enough credit. Even I used to be all ooohh Scott but as I grew up I realised that STP wouldn't be anything without them. They ARE STP.
Robert DeLeo is The Proverbial "Adult in The Room." He is Consistent, Mature, and Wise. And Interesting! :) I also Love Dean and Eric--how could I not??? :)
He didn’t mean to be an ass... he was a beautiful human being... life is tough... I will love this man for the rest of my life...rip, sweetie.. I love you! I owe you so much
I saw their show in Tampa for Tiny... I remember standing directly in front of the PA/stage on the second floor of the Ice Palace so I could get a clear sound. They were tight, balanced, in tune and, Scott sounded amazing. They definitely weren't a band who relied on studio trickery. They were serious musicians/players. Saw them on the NO 4 tour at a the UCF basketball arena and it was a smaller venue but, they still killed. I do remember the songs being played a little slower and talking some other musician friends about it. We all agreed that they were playing slower. I also remember looking at Dean and making the hand signals to speed a song up because it was really plodding and didn't sound right :)
@@emayan6620 I feel a sense of loyalty to the orginal line up myself. I haven't even heard any stp music without weiland. While I respect the band's decision to go on without him, I'm just not interested in however they've reinvented themselves. It would be the same had the doors gone on without Morrison.
Saw them in Toronto on that tour. They were amazing. I like the chilli peppers and it was hard to follow stp that night. A lot of great songs on 4. Underrated album.
Such Nice Guys... It's Obvious how they have been able to work and play music together All these years--they Respect each other and they Respect themselves... Thank you for All of The Wonderful and Varied Music, Guys! :)
4:10 Only time I saw STP was with the Chili Peppers (and Bicycle Thief), at Shoreline Amphitheater, the part they describe here as great and "firing on all cylinders." They were unbelievably good. I'd say they blew the Chili Peppers. I wasn't even a fan, didn't know their songs. (But I was a fan after that show.) I was kinda jaw-dropped at what a rock star (and great singer) Scott was. I told my friend "This is what a singer should be." Also really turned on by how tight the band was. Kinda blew my hair back.
Love No. 4 it's a great album. Songs like Down, Sour Girl and Atlanta among others. Love that Vegas show from 99. Got it on ppv at the time and recorded it on vhs. Musta watched that show hundreds if not thousands of times.
I am sorry for Scott's addiction... I wish he would have loved and appreciated his band mates more than he did..... He had amazing band mates that loved him til the end ...
Hot 100 tends to be mostly what's on pop radio, since it is all-encompassing. Most of STP's singles charted on the rock/alternative charts. "Sour Girl" had a massive pop appeal to it when it was released. However, rock and alternative tended to cross over a lot more in the '90s and the early-mid 2000s, since it followed a lot more of what MTV was playing at the time which was the real musical conductor especially in the '90s.
E Mayan I totally agree but the spectrum of music was SO big. I did some research for 1994 and 1995 and the highest any “pure alternative” band gets on the chart is Collective Soul with “Shine” and “December” in the 40s. It’s mostly dominated by pop acts like TLC, Ace of Base(which has 3 of the top 10 of 1994!). Alternative/grunge was popular but I think it had a specific age group (I liked STP when I was 8, but you know I was requesting TLC and Boyz II Men on the radio 😂)
Oh this is so cool I saw them open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mt View!! This interview is an absolute unequivocal validation of my recollection of STP having totally upstaged the headlining Peppers
STP's original line up, with Scott, was the last of the great rock n roll bands that we will never witness or hear from again, ever. They have all the classic makings of a legendary band that would be remembered for generations to come, like Zeppelin, Floyd, Beatles, etc, but were cut off the road to that major destination. Scott was a literal human chameleon, changing his look and vocal style on every album, with the rest of the guys becoming serious multi talented musicians, song writers and producers in their own right. However, as great as the De Leo brothers and Eric Kretz are, they simply don't have the special chemistry, for lack of a better term, as they did with Scott. He was too unique, with his many drug, alcohol, and depression problems unfortunately, also making him someone that can never be duplicated. Their new singer, Jeff Gutt, has been thrown together by an itchy record label hoping to repeat that success that Scott and the band gave those greedy, musically brain dead, corporate mongoloids who control the artist's every move in order for profits to roll in. Unfortunately, it's time for the rest of the boys to realize that without Scott, there is only a reasonable facsimile with Gutt, making the original STP legacy and it's massive shadow cast upon anyone who dares to attempt at being what Scott was a natural at..Sorry Jeff Gutt, but those shoes are way too massive for you to fill with your efforts..

Scott claims on the "Shangri-La Dee Da" record that for "No. 4" he was on depakote (which he attributed to numbing him...) so comparatively I have SLDD way ahead of #4...
I feel like they were on to something good with NO.4 with all the heavy songs lile Down, Pruno and No Way Out, so when Shangri La came out i found the direction they took quite disappointing :/
I hear what you're saying because it was so different. STP never made the same album twice which is something I love about them. I really like Shangri but yeah it was completely different. If you loved No. 4, I can see why the next album would throw you off.
They were a well-oiled rock machine and at the top of the heap in 94-95, there has been nothing even close to this quality of musicianship and writing in the last 25 years, all we have since then is crap flooding the airwaves as present-day music slips further and further into the rap world wana be shitter.
I do sound for a lot of medium-tiered bands and I can safely say that there is a lot of stuff that is gravitating towards what I genuinely categorize as completely talentless. I have NO idea how some of these people get on a stage without riding coattails of someone or what they put on an album is completely mis-representative of how they actually perform live. I can tell the difference between genuine musicality, a genuine effort, and complete apathy and lack of talent. That makes a HUGE difference to me, and makes my job as a sound engineer cringe-inducing at times.
considering Scott lived it, he would know more than you people...he also had BIPOLAR and had been raped at 12..these guys had no issuespropping him up as long as th $$ was still rolling in...hypocritical assholes..and stfu slogging someone not here to tell their side..without Weiland, they would never have become famous..Weiland was the magick...he was ILL and needed rx and support...
I'm sorry to say but musicians talking about singers don't understand singers, they are flesh & blood, yes he went somewhere that wasn't good, if your amp or guitar breaks go and buy a new one, hence the spiritual has been taken out of it, which is why alot of singers go astray as they are human.
I don't know Robert Deleo but I really like his wisdom. He talks honestly and very far from the industry/rock star cliché. Love that.
I absolutely adore No 4. You can really tell that they were back on point on this album. There are some really great songs here. Sour Girl is one of the last great music videos.

Yep. I had a similar experience in ‘08. He was seemingly clean… and it was the best show I’ve ever seen.
Eric kretz a man of few words yet so great on drums
He's one boring drummer too
@@chickentwisties2298 listen to army ants lmao
He may have more to say but I think he's letting the DeLeo Brothers talk on purpose. It's better than those shows where people constantly interrupt each other and just talk monologues
they never give him a chance
Such a criminally underrated band and album.
Yes, criminally is the correct terminology
Everything that has ever happened is underrated
One of the biggest best-selling bands of the 90s, so underrated I mean no one has heard of them they only get played on the radio every moment of the day anywhere in the western world! But they were UNDERRATED. Small band.

The first time I heard No. 4, I was in a movie theater. Blew me away completely.
these interviews are priceless! means alot to me to hear this stuff. Thx STP
I was at the MSG show on the Tiny Music Tour in November 1996. Amazing show. Scott and the band were razor sharp.
John LeValley lucky you!!
@Jay Sharp Yes. I remember it well. Great show.
I find myself listening to more songs off of 4 now then I ever did when it was released.
Atlanta
Down
Heaven and Hot Rods
Sour girl
Album is great. But anything off of their 1st 4 albums is gold to me.
These guys don't get nearly enough credit. Even I used to be all ooohh Scott but as I grew up I realised that STP wouldn't be anything without them. They ARE STP.
Some of my fav STP songs are on this album. Pruno, Glide, Atlanta.
Robert DeLeo is The Proverbial "Adult in The Room."
He is Consistent, Mature, and Wise.
And Interesting! :)
I also Love Dean and Eric--how could I not??? :)
This album is criminally underrated!!! 🔥
He didn’t mean to be an ass... he was a beautiful human being... life is tough... I will love this man for the rest of my life...rip, sweetie.. I love you! I owe you so much
I love how Eric is so chill. He's been my favorite since the beginning ❤
1:05 thanks for the input, Eric XD he's so chill, such a cool guy, but his moments like this are amusing.
I worship this record.
Great band with great records.
I love #4. What a great album. It doesn’t have anything to say, but it just moves.

My favorite STP album
Jack Morrison its easy too say that lol its SOOOO good....tbh i cant say....my fave album....there all fantastic in there own way....
Mine too
@Jeshex The first one with Jeff Gutt? While I like "Thought She'd Be Mine" a lot I can't bring myself to get an album of theirs without Weiland.
@@emayan6620 I feel a sense of loyalty to the orginal line up myself. I haven't even heard any stp music without weiland. While I respect the band's decision to go on without him, I'm just not interested in however they've reinvented themselves. It would be the same had the doors gone on without Morrison.
No.4 one of my fav albums ever.
Nothing but memory's and good times boys! Those are what you remember
It’s so sad😔 but the 3 of You guys are So amazing!!! Thank you for all your music I will Love Forever!!!❤️🎸
My favorite stp record. So gratifying as a fan to hear where they went on this one
I've been an STP fan since the beginning, No. 4 is my favorite from them.
What a great album. It's got some great rock songs, but the slow jams were remarkable: "I Got You," "Atlanta," "Glide," and "Sour Girl," obviously.
Glide is a really special tune that people don't really talk about
saw these guys a few days ago and are very down to Earth/generous with their fans (Jeff Gutt as well)
Saw them in Toronto on that tour. They were amazing. I like the chilli peppers and it was hard to follow stp that night. A lot of great songs on 4. Underrated album.
Really like church on tuesdays from this album
Such Nice Guys...
It's Obvious how they have been able to work and play music together All these years--they Respect each other and they Respect themselves...
Thank you for All of The Wonderful and Varied Music, Guys! :)
"I'm with him!" Awesome!
Got to meet Dean and Robert during Army of Anyone . Very grounded New Jersey guys.
Bought it on whim as soon as it dropped and it did not disappoint
Man I saw them tiny music, solo number 4 and the tour with the chili peppers. All were amazing
I love these guys
You Can't Drive Me Away is an Unreleased song from No.4. Its such a good song. And his voice especially in the chorus sounds like its from Purple.
4:10 Only time I saw STP was with the Chili Peppers (and Bicycle Thief), at Shoreline Amphitheater, the part they describe here as great and "firing on all cylinders."
They were unbelievably good. I'd say they blew the Chili Peppers. I wasn't even a fan, didn't know their songs. (But I was a fan after that show.)
I was kinda jaw-dropped at what a rock star (and great singer) Scott was. I told my friend "This is what a singer should be." Also really turned on by how tight the band was. Kinda blew my hair back.
That was the consensus. They always were great live but the new renewal was crazy. Love the Chilis but they were always off and on live
Amazing Album. One of my favorites.
Love No. 4 it's a great album. Songs like Down, Sour Girl and Atlanta among others. Love that Vegas show from 99. Got it on ppv at the time and recorded it on vhs. Musta watched that show hundreds if not thousands of times.
You can tell these guys were like oil and water with scott weilland
I am sorry for Scott's addiction... I wish he would have loved and appreciated his band mates more than he did..... He had amazing band mates that loved him til the end ...
feels. heart emojis....sincerely. music is holy
Saw the Purple tour on the St.Paul stop. Loved that concert!
This album holds me memories of Snowboarding. Love it!
Like 2018 album with Jeff gutt on vocals
2:13 Sour Girl is the only STP song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100?! That just can't be right. What about Plush or Interstate Love Song?
Most of the Grunge Alt were on Adult Mainstream
Hot 100 tends to be mostly what's on pop radio, since it is all-encompassing. Most of STP's singles charted on the rock/alternative charts. "Sour Girl" had a massive pop appeal to it when it was released.

@@tjhall9377 Right. "Interstate Love Song" has just as much pop appeal as "Sour Girl" to me. I'd expect it to be as Hot 100-worthy.
E Mayan I totally agree but the spectrum of music was SO big. I did some research for 1994 and 1995 and the highest any “pure alternative” band gets on the chart is Collective Soul with “Shine” and “December” in the 40s.

The songs didn’t even chart on Bubbling Under Hot 100
Saw the vegas show at the alladin.....yup!
Sour girl is a beautiful tune 🤘
Such a damn shame how things ended up with Scott despite him getting sober during this period. STP was always a great band with a hefty curse.
Oh this is so cool I saw them open for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mt View!! This interview is an absolute unequivocal validation of my recollection of STP having totally upstaged the headlining Peppers
Eric could move on but he loves the brothers their still good
1:40 They're called marshals. But not the good kind of Marshalls.
I Always LOVE hearing from Eric Kretz, Excellent Drummer--I wish he would speak a bit more...
My college days with STP....wouldn't trade it for a cold pizza and a dart board!
I love core, purple, tiny music and no 4. Order always changes for me
I got to see them once at the Astoria in London but unfortunately you could not hear Scott's voice as the instruments were drowning him out.

SLDD is their most underrated album. It's beautiful.
Not a perfect album but some of my favs of theirs are on it. Glide, Pruno, Atlanta etc..
No wonder not many people haven’t seen STP live. They barely toured after Core.
AIC like.....
Just think if he only could have stayed sober , this band would still be together making more and better music , better than this bs we have today
Number 4 was when it started to slip IMO. Tiny music was their opus.
I wish I had put an audition in... I think I would give gut a run for his money.
I really like this band.
Robert and Eric need to learn what shampoo and a comb are.
What a lost soul,yet what a lost great
So sad we miss him and y’all so much , STP was the shit , still is the shit
All these comments about their favorite songs on 4 but no one mentions No Way Out. Hmmm
That's right Scott went to the next place.
I feel like they were on to something good with NO.4 with all the heavy songs lile Down, Pruno and No Way Out, so when Shangri La came out i found the direction they took quite disappointing :/

Go listen to Airbourne and Greta Van Fleet...…...……………………..You're welcome
Sadly it's impossible to stop someone from self destruction😫😭😩💉💊🤘
STP what the hey ?
Why??? should lock him up, call the police or anything to save his life.
I read Scott's book.
He claimed that his bandmates betrayed him.
Yet he was a drug addict.
Because they did the drugs too
@@devenchinso yep and now they talk fondly about him
but when he was alive they dogged the shit out of him..

He was delusional and bi polar
Why does Eric hardly ever talk?
If it were lars yeah right cant shut him up
That title could be interpreted as „no four people“

Not a very good record, but
still better than their last one,
which was just so fucking average...
