Request A ShowPrimary Wave Music has partnered with the estate of Scott Weiland to acquire and manage his music catalog, including hits from Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. This deal aims to exploit new opportunities for his music and legacy.
Stone Temple Pilots, commonly known as STP, originated in San Diego, California, in 1989. The initial lineup featured Scott Weiland on lead vocals, Dean DeLeo on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass, and Eric Kretz on drums. Before adopting the Stone Temple Pilots moniker, the band performed under the name Mighty Joe Young. Their breakthrough arrived in 1992 with the release of their debut album, “Core.” This album achieved significant commercial success, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Albums Chart and producing hit singles such as “Plush” and “Creep.” The band quickly gained recognition, despite initial criticism from some music critics who labeled them as “grunge imitators.”
Their second album, “Purple,” released in 1994, debuted at number one in the United States and cemented their commercial success. It featured enduring hits like “Interstate Love Song,” which spent fifteen weeks atop the album rock tracks chart. Stone Temple Pilots continued to evolve their sound, incorporating elements of glam rock, psychedelic music, and hard rock into subsequent albums like “Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop” (1996) and “No. 4” (1999). Over their career, STP sold over 18 million albums in the United States and 40 million worldwide. They earned a Grammy Award in 1994 for Best Hard Rock Performance for “Plush” and consistently produced top ten singles on the Billboard rock charts.
Throughout their career, Stone Temple Pilots navigated various lineup changes and hiatuses. After an initial separation in 2003, the band reconvened in 2008 for a reunion tour and released their self-titled sixth album in 2010. Following Scott Weiland’s departure in 2013, Chester Bennington briefly served as lead vocalist, contributing to the 2013 EP “High Rise.” Following the passing of both Weiland and Bennington, Jeff Gutt became the band’s new lead singer in 2017, leading to a second self-titled album in 2018 and the acoustic album “Perdida” in 2020. Stone Temple Pilots continue to perform, with a recent co-headlining tour with the band Live in 2024.
