- Robert and Dean DeLeo from Stone Temple Pilots stopped by The Kevin & Bean Show this morning to talk about their search for a new singer for the band, Scott Weiland’s passing, and more. It’s a legacy they hope to continue since the passing of Scott Weiland and former vocalist Chester Bennington‘s inability to continue on with the band due to time commitments.

I like how Dean says his brother is one of the best bass players = because he is. He accents the songs so perfectly with his bass and doesn't over due it.
flashy5150 - He's incredible. Both of them are magic.
everyone can have an off night, but Robert never makes mistakes while playing bass
scott šzabo actually gotta agree w/ya on that one! No doubt is one greatly underrated bass player! Deserves so much more praise than what he gets overall thruout the rock world’
His backing vocals are amazing too
@@volvo1354 even Scott Weiland said that. He said Dean will make mistakes and " hit a clam" but he said "Robert....well Robert very rarely makes mistakes."
these guys are great...Robert is about the coolest bass player I have ever seen and Dean hands down the most underrated guitarist out there...hope they can find someone
Dean's guitar comes out of the songs. I mean, it reaches out. Very much like early Keith Richards. I'm speaking for myself.
Billy Damnit Funny, two of my favorite players
@@billyburton3252totally agree with you.
The Deleo's are great guys and I wish them the best of luck! I want more STP!
Deleo's are special
...and Eric too
Eric's a freaking caveman drummer! Love him!
Robert DeLeo is an incredible bass player. His note selection and overall feel dynamically is second to none.
"a great singer will carry an average band.. a great band will not carry an avergae singer"...very true!
even when i was 14 and didnt know the first thing about guitar, dean deleo's playing is what stood out to me
"But six kids, that's a bad decision."
"That's five bad decisions."
Holy shit I cracked up.
Some of the best rock n roll by these guys. The guitar work is some of the best of the best.
No doubt ... Scott is irreplaceable.
These guys are so adorable.
Old men are so adorable ong
no one will ever replace scott he was a legend he was the few rock stars along with chris corrnell and layne where i dident find one bad song rip
I read Scott Weiland's Not Dead and Not for Sale book and let me tell you something : just looking at the photos on the book, it hurts to see his physical deterioration through the years. And in the book, Scott exposes some life events that were just crazy - like in life threatening crazy.
Loved the guy as a singer, yet going on the road with him - that must have been a real challenge.
Stone Temple Pilots Forever......Don't ever stop...ever....
I'm binging on Chester videos today and landed on this. It's touching to hear them talk about him and what a positive impact he had on them. And to hear them talk about Scott, too. I love these guys.
Chester was nowhere near as great as Scott…Scott is one of the greatest frontmen all time…one of the greatest male vocalists too
Dean De Leo is such an underrated guitarist.
Holy crap, these guys are amazing artists and fun. Stone Temple Pilots until I'm in the grave ☺
deleo brothers are STP...don't forget it...the brains behind there music
*their
Saw them last night... solid!! Respect to Jeff, great job on the classics and I'm digging their new material.
I'd really like to sing for these guys.
Love these guys and wish them all the best, soundtrack of my life man. Thank you.
Man, Dean was getting emotional. It still really hurts him.
+Joe Medium I was thinking the same thing. I think Dean was going to break into tears. You can tell his heart was ripped out. He had to change the subject because he was on the verge of breaking down. I can only imagine how they felt the day they broke it off with Scott and then the how they felt the day they found out he was dead. At this point, I wish they would just hang up STP and let us remember the (good) past. This is coming from a guy who was 11 year old kid sitting in his room, glued to Core the week it came out.
You heard it right from their mouths; they want to continue making music under the STP name. Will it be the same without Scott? No. But you look at bands like Queen, AC/DC, Def Leppard and the Scorpions, all of whom have been through several line-up changes and are still making music and all of a sudden, STP marching on without Scott doesn't really look so bad.
+Donatello Rafael Alice in Chains is a good example, their new stuff is different but really good and still sounds like AIC for the most part
Donatello Rafael the doors failed, when you lose your lead singer, thats the band. coming from ray manzarek's own mouth.
IamLiterallyRetarded Alice in Chains is still good because they still have Jerry Cantrell. He was and is the engine and brains behind the sound. I think Jerry, Sean and Mike made a good decision with Duvall. They didn't go with a sound-alike but instead went with someone who could be an asset as a guitarist and songwriter.
I'm 44 years old and I just found out they are brothers. I came of age during the '90s grunge Rock revolution. Good times. Lots of weed, mushrooms, very little Adderall
Wow - what great stuff here!!! Love the DeLeos, Eric and STP!!
These guys gotta lotta heart & soul
Usually radio people annoy me but that was a good fun interview.
Scott was very expressive!! especially in the Plush song video(what is he trying to express or say to the public?) Looks like anger or frustration at something or someone in his life that he could not manage on his own & should of gotten help for himself with the drug addiction that took him away at a young age. Another great one gone too soon because of drugs!! LONG LIVE STP!!
DeLeo's are fantastic! Dean is my fave guitarist. I'd be happy with either the Talk Show or AoA line-up under the STP moniker. Didn't care for Chester.
Neither did I. No offense to him, and while immediately I held his candle to Scott's I tried giving it an honest shot. But it just didn't work for me.
+Joseph Tomasicyk Chester wasn't for this band but you Have to hand it to him talent wise
It didn't help him by adopting a similar appearance as Scott Weiland during their breakout days and singing like him. Even if he claims he did it for different reasons, the comparisons didn't do him any favors.
Keep Talk Show as it it. Way better than anything else they ever released. Dave was better than the rest.
No one could ever replace Scott. I wish he was still here. Miss him so very much. R.I.P. to Scott. IDK if anyone has seen his son sing, but Wow...he is amazing just like his dad.
What's his sons name? You have a link of him singing?
To sing with these legends i'd give up an arm, hell.. I'd give up BOTH!..
Very sad to see Dean's reaction. I really feel so deeply for these guys
This rips my fucking heart out. Dean & Rob (and Eric), I love you guys so much. I loved Scott so much. Dean, the pain is all over your face. I hate this. I just fucking hate it. Aside from Queen, you guys are my all-time favorite band. But Scott wrote every lyric to every song on every STP album (before Chester). As much as I ADORE you guys, I just don't think I could bear to hear some random dude singing Atlanta, Piece of Pie, Big Bang Baby & all the others. Those songs just make me feel so much. I've lost all my favorites except for Chris Cornell. Shit, I'm STILL crying about Prince & Scott.
Almost all of the REAL artist are gone..
iamcasihart. you jinxed it. Now chris is dead too :(
iamcasihart Get over it pussy p.s. STP will go on Weiland or not
I love these guys
Damn, you can really see the sadness in both when they talk about Scott.
Awesome interview
that was actually very entertaining. on both sides of the interview.
This made my day! Been a fan of STP since I was 12. Love you guys!
Great musicians!!!
You guys are awesome!!....hope ya find a great singer!!
Man, I wanna hug Dean... No homo, I just like that guy so much lol
If Robert Dean and Eric ever see this, you really ought to make a video like Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum did with Velvet Revolver. I would totally apply if I had experience with a band of anywhere NEAR this caliber. But I assume I'm not alone in finding the VR process fascinating. I would be SO interested in seeing the videos and their process in this. You guys could totally market it, too. Don't settle for anything but the best, you guys are my faith in coming music. I love Scott's music but I *greatly* look forward to hear what's next for STP.
I dont know how all this is working out for the efforts put in to locate and select a vocalist/band member for the STP guys to work with as it stands today.
I loved Scott and saw him in one of his last days,....the performance one that pure last second chance and fate drew me to.
It was surreal as it opened up and concluded,...oh so quickly and such a memorable treat.
Little did I know but the feeling that hit me when he walked out onto that stage in NJ would indeed come back to haunt me when I heard the heart wrenching news of his untimely demise.
So much of what I saw, heard, and felt as it pertained to what wound up happening all clicked into perfect alignment in making sense,...if one could call it that.
Far be it from me to apply my ability of singing along with Scott that night from the front of the stage area to fill the role,...but something equally strange and "meant to be seen" happened just before the close of this open audition STP had called for.
The same person I was at the Wildabouts show with had been dining with me at a restaurant lounge in the greater Philadelphia area one nite about a month ago.
Were sitting there enjoying our moments, and then unusual for this place,....an entertainer starts up with some singer songwriter type tunes and begins to completely draw my attention away from eating. (nearly impossible)
I stopped eating and was just riveted at not just what I heard ,....but what I felt, more accurately KNEW,..like something that you werent supposed to know by never having seen it but by an overwhelming intuition.
I watched the guy perform,...there was a break,...I kept eating, he came back out, played a few more tunes, and finally I said to my dining companion,....wait here.
I gotta go say something to this guy.
I stood up, and in front of everyone watching,...( I was so choked up,...i could barely speak,..I was starting to cry,..but I needed to do this,...)
I go up to him right before he sets his guitar down for a break,....I look him right in the eyes, barely able to muster the words, and say to him: "play Plush".
Without any hesitation,...and I never met him before,...I dont know the dude,...he fucking KILLS that tune.
I KNEW it,...I had the very strong feeling that this guy could easily walk into that audition.
I explained to him why I approached,...what i thought, why I thought that,..and started to go on about there was this STP audition and its closed by now but YOU,..YOU ARE THE GUY.
I start insisting he needs to understand its not just what he played,..but that i knew he could do it, and that there was something at play, something that brought me there like the night i saw Scott play his next to last gig,.....I dont know why these things happen,... I dont fight it,..I just go along for the ride.
I tell him Im going to do everything I can to let the STP people know about him. I dont know them or know how,..but Im gonna try.
Well, as it turns out,...he tells me he DID IN FACT try out with a taped entry,....so, he got it in before the deadline.
The only thing is even though he handed it in well before he met me,....the STP people had mentioned somwhere they were down to the final few choices.
They hadnt contacted him though.
It didnt phase me because I said thats good because I think once they pick the person,...something wont click as they get into it,...this isnt over.
Im telling you,...you are the guy.
If they dont wind up with you,...its everyones loss.
So,....I went home and for a few days tried to contact STP`s PR lady,...STP`s management,...all via email,....no answers or reply.
I gave my home phone, cell, email,...I have no horse in this race,..Im just some guy trying to tie the sneaker laces here.
All I felt they needed to do was to SEE HIM IN PERSON.
The thing he does wont come across on a home-made tape.
I wanted them to send one of their people to see this guy play at one gig,...Im sure they would see why.
Out of my pocket,...I would have paid to fly this kid out to Cali if need be,...Never met him,...dont want anything...just wanted them to see what I saw,...to see what he does....He writes, produces his material, has a CD, has the looks, and is available.
So,...there is someone out there,..I wont say his name on their social media or here,...but he is lost in the shuffle.
Sometimes,...we insulate ourselves to a degree we limit what can ever be.........I still think hes the guy.
Now i really wanna know who he is !
Scott W and SPT are amazing, for sure. Later, I’ve discovered the DeLeo brothers are amazing. Even alter, that Eric K is an amazing, for you, pocket drummer, Anyone involved in STP are just amazing, that’s what I’ve found.
this is so great. brings me back to when i was 12 years old talking about life with my own brother.
dont get me wrong i love and adore chester his voice and band linkin park is great too but scott made this group meaning without him it wouldent have existed or not be as good hes a legend a voice that right when he got on stage and started you could feel him and his emotions great song writer aswell rip
JEFF GUTT IS THE NEW STONE TEMPLE PILOTS SINGER
LISTEN TO MEADOW, SUCH A GREAT VOICE, GOODLUCK
GOD BLESS SCOTT WEILAND AND CHESTER BENNINGTON
I would absolutely sing for STP. I'm up for an audition, guys.
I'm Ready Guys! Call Me! I will OWN THIS for you so STP can keep moving forward. RIP Scott W. Much Respect and Love and Support.
I love these guys so much... hope they get to listen my submission, got myself some studio time to record the tracks :)
I would sing for them . I love stp
Truth and honesty, love and passion, energy and fun 💖
I hug and love you deeply 👫
Keep on rocking, guys ✌
For all of us, and for Scott.
He sings with angels, now, riding a star 🌌
Just checked out John Borja...holy shit this kid is GOOD!
Did you listen to Sam Hammett? He hauntingly reminds me of Scott. Plus he sang with no enhancements.
I heard him too, I thought he sounded really good.
Nobody..and i mean nobody can replace Scott. He was a head of it's own. They need to just move on, and let this rest.
Drugs destroyed him and his relationships to many people, not just professionally but even in the family. Like what his ex-wife Mary said, we should not glorify this tragedy. By STP moving on, you know they are in to make music and not just bury their art just because one left too early.
obviously great guys and muso's'; i wish you both the best!
now this interview is more like it!!!
its so sad to hear them talk about scott ... their impotence and pain is palpable ... hot fudge holly molly !!!!!!! :/
I don't blame these guys for wanting to keep the Name Stone Temple Pilots. A lot of time and money was spent marketing that.
I think it's more about honoring a legacy that they've put their entire lives into... usually I don't like bands continuing on without the original lead singer but in this case it's all good
I agree, I am still hurt over the loss of Scott but the show must go on. So happy I was able to see them live.
Who said anything about changing their name?
Saw them live 6 times. So dam great. first time in 93-94 in San Diego. i saw them every time , i was scared Scott would die from his drug addiction. So i saw them every time they toured near me.
then retire Scott's songs which his melodies/lyrics and singing made iconic and use their own new material! but they can't, so they bastardize his memory, revolting..I was a fan since 92, done with them..this is about greed and ego
I like the fact that they don't try to out do each other
My favorite STP is the one with the biggest smile; Wow, there's some intense competition looking to nail the massive job of the new Frontman for the Pilots, jees good luck with the selection! My very good friend is giving it a crack, we reckon he's got the goods although I've now listened to a few others and Maaaan, there's some talent looking to keep The Stone Temple Pilots RoCK-ing on way into the future. STP have got so much more to offer the industry in the future,. I know I'm looking forward to it; old sound, new vibe; exciting times lovin it Mwah x Yes he was irreplaceable
I got their album Purple somehow when I was a teenager and going through some rough shit but man, I never took that thing out of the CD player. I remember busting the wind shield out of my car by punching it and meatplow was jamming loudly lol
The girl I was with at the time was terrible and I despise her now! She also got fat and ugly which is fitting since it matches her soul. 😂
Hard but also good times. I’ve loved stp ever since tho. It’s crazy how amazing Scott was even dealing with his terrible drug and other problems he still shined that bright. But yea, everybody in the band was impressive to me.
I think their new singer is doing well but there is no replacing Scott. He was damaged and that’s why he was so good. RIP I was really sad when he passed.
I used to sing Meatplow back in the day with my band. I never liked singing cover songs that literally everyone else did so we picked Meatplow

That was a funny interview. Scott's addiction affected them, and continues to cause sadness.. Dean had to change the subject. Maybe out of respect for scott too. But yea, i love these guys and i wish them the very best in their future indevours! STP 4eva 😘💙🔥🎶🎸🔥i will "purchase" their next album. 💿
Im coming !!!
I want more STP. I still mourn the loss of Scott and it saddens me that noone was able to stop his headlong rush into disaster. I like Chester, I like Toryn, I like Borja. I believe my fav might be Toryn. Best of luck to you STP. RIP Scott.
Talk show was very good, no joke
Thinking about it now...STP is the closest our generation had to The Doors. Their career, and even "their lead singers" have much in common! And NO, I don't mean the drugs! I mean: They could sing, they're legendary, they had charisma and an AMAZING stage presence!
Nice!
Dean n Robert are the"BEST" bass n guitar combo players on a stage hands down !!!
Oh Christ, I could sing the hits all day long. But in terms of songwriting and melody Scott is tough to match.
Maybe they want to explore what this band sounds like with a little Funk synthesizer or or organ. I love the opening jam on Tiny Music From The Vatican Gift Shop the synthesizer and Roberts bass funk. Dean is a badass guitarist they don't really need another guitarist but a dedicated eccentric poet Morrison or Scott without the excessive substances. It's about the music man painting the air with sound like Picasso or Dali or James Brown or Mick Jagger.
There is a band called Shinedown Smith & Myers who did an amazing tribute. The lead singer gave something extra special, they should contact him.
"If the Filipino guy Arnel Pineda apply" LOL How Ironic if they end up with a Filipino singer? John Borja channels S-Weiland vocals spot on!
I would gladly offer my services as front man. I hope they hear my submissions to their website.
Long live STP!!
I sure hope they extend it by a month or more!
+Kevo Maitlandorfski Why?
WOW
Scott's drugs over-took his mind and this is why he ruined a great relationship with his band and his family. The guy was a smokin' entertainer when he was in the right frame of mind, but when he was on drugs, he developed a serious attitude problem and a negativity problem that ultimately ended his life. It's a real shame and I know why Dean and Rob continue on the legacy of STP. Cheers Dean, Robert and Eric, you guys deserve the best. Make sure you play "And So I know" with your new lead singer.
Local Point Pleasant guys who used to play our HS backyard parties..Cambell's oceanfront deck... Pretty cool..
Good luck...dude dream job...
You guys are missing me here I am!!!
you should check John Borja's audition for STP
+Chop Suey Yeah i did Chop, John is awesome sounds so much like Scott.
John Borja's Audition did sound pretty good.
JC man...let the guys talk!!
i love how some of you people think scott was the band as if these members didn't matter it's they're decision they should continue on if they want to although there wont be another like scott
Stone Temple Pilots Singer Submission/Audition - John Borja (12-song STP Medley)
Yea, it's not like Nirvana where Kurt literally wrote everything. The DeLeo brothers & Erik come up with the music. Scott was an amazing singer/frontman/lyricist but STP is the sum of it's parts, it was never just Scott as the sole creative output. It's like when AIC fans get mad cause the band continued without Layne. These people want to make music and perform for their fans, there's nothing wrong with that. I can't imagine what it was like for them to be as successful as they are and to watch their friend and bandmate just spiral. On a side note, the newest STP album is really good, listened to a few tracks last night and was really enjoying it. Hope to catch them live someday.
I thought the band Talkshow they put together was some of their best work aswell,
Dave Coutts would be a awesome choice!
R. Nashoba - Just keep it Talk Show, not STP.
why not Edwin from I Mother Earth? Has the baritone voice down rather well.
They need a poet, a charasmatic baritone low tenor if he smokes a little weed and drinks a little it's okay....nothing more. A singer rooted in R & B Plant, Cornell, Vedder, Morrison, Bowie a howler a moaner a groaner, maybe plays a little rhythm guitar maybe a little blues harmonica an eccentric flashy playboy who's not sold on the hype. Who just loves music and wants to push the envelope but also knows how to pull back. A Lover.
very good
Keith Harris ..sounds like you drafted the perfect classified ad!
❤️🤘
Scott is irreplaceable 😊❤🎉
One of the deleo brothers should step up and sing
yep
Robert can do it
I realize some think STP should die w/Scott. I don't think Scott would agree, and the DeLeo brothers certainly don't. I don't know who they've got now, if anyone, but Dean, Eric and Robert obviously have a lot of stuff still in them. And I'd love to hear more. Will STP be the same without Scott? No way. But the 3 surviving members were more than just the band behind Scott Weiland.
yet they don't write new material but continue to cover band the songs Scott made iconic with his melodies/lyrics and singing/stage presence...disrespectful and motivated by greed and ego
There's a guy in Asia, that has the most amazing voice to sing STP, better than anyone else besides S.W. I bet he'd be a great choice.
Where do I audition???
MICK BLANKENSHIP IS THE SPLITTIN IMAGE OF SCOTTS VOICE HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE
As much as I'd love to front this band! I have to give props to John Borja from the Philippines. Dude REALLY deserves a shot at this gig. Check out his videos on UA-cam.
That Glen Gilbert dude extremely good on VOCALS. ...
Sorry guys. No one will carry your can like Scott did.
Scott was out and the core of STP is and will remain the Deleo brothers
toob maniac No, it's not. Nice try tho.
jasmoran66 They're going to continue so just deal with it
@@1sonofabiscuit837 and you deal with that they will suck, scottie MADE STP and VR
no one will replace him either he was crazy good
Robert kind of looks like Steven Tyler
Just do Army of Anyone. come on.
That lineup and album was so good. You have to remember this is the band they built 25-26 years ago and have fought to keep it going and made some of the best albums in rock....it is like their child they raised.
theres a guy in la who was in a band caLLED Fuzzbyte he was gooooooood; maybe check him out.?
get John Borja. he's the real deal.
if you're feeling a little adventurous though, go to the Philippines - still lots of undiscovered talent.
hahahahahahaha
STP was a well-oiled rock machine and at the top of the heap in 94-96, there has been nothing even close to this high quality of musicianship and writing in the last 25 years. All we consistently have now is a surplus of crap flooding the airwaves as present-day so-called musicians flush the music business further and further down into the rockstar wanna be shitter, not to mention talentless RAP which is another disturbing subject all in itself.
