    Was never a really a fan, even though I heard all of their hits/watched all their early videos because they were on constant MTV rotation. However, a few years ago, I stumbled across the “Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart” video here on UA-cam and it grabbed me. Since then I’ve reevaluated and at least appreciate STP’s musicality (always heard the Zeppelin influence). Seeing this Robert DeLeo interview makes me appreciate them even more; I had no idea he was the main songwriter. His bass playing is very impressive; challenging, interesting and tasteful without being overly technical and flashy. Leaps and bounds from most of his pop grunge bassist peers.
