The band’s first CD, made up of Scott Weiland (vocals), Robert DeLeo (bass), Dean DeLeo (guitar) and Eric Kretz ( battery) was released in the same year: Core, which sold more than 8 million copies in the United States alone. When the band signed to Atlantic Records, it changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots in 1992. It all started with vocalist Scott Weiland, who in 1989 had a rock band called Mighty Joe Young. On December 3, 2015, Scott Weilland was found dead on the bus of his group, Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts, in Bloomington, Minnesota (USA). On November 7, 2015, there was speculation – later confirmed – that Chester Bennington was leaving the band. The band released a five-track EP on the internet, where they showed changes in their style to something more Hard Rock. In 2013 the band replaced vocalist Scott Weiland with Chester Bennington, from Linkin Park. The band reunited in 2008 after Weiland left Velvet Revolver, starting their tour at the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, and in 2010 they released their new self-titled album. Kretz founded Bomb Shelter Studios in Los Angeles. The DeLeo brothers formed the band Army of Anyone with Richard Patrick of Filter.


After the end in 2003, Weiland became a vocalist for Velvet Revolver, with former members of Guns N ‘Roses, and a former guitarist for Wasted Youth. In 2003, after launching a greatest hits compilation called Thank You, its members began to follow separate paths.

Velvet Revolver, Camp Freddy, Talk Show, The Wondergirls For a while, STP outpaced their contemporaries at least in terms of hit singles, racking up constant plays on MTV and rock radio with "Plush," "Creep," "Big Empty," "Vasoline," "Interstate Love Song," and "Big Bang Baby." Each of their signature. The quartet of Scott Weiland, Dean and Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz had a foot planted in two seemingly opposed camps, cutting their teeth on the Southern California hard rock circuit of the late '80s yet working steadily with Brendan O'Brien, who also produced albums by Pearl Jam, one of the biggest bands to hail from Seattle, the birthplace of grunge. Stone Temple Pilots complicated this narrative considerably. The alternative rock explosion of the 1990s was framed as a triumph of authenticity: grunge wiped out the sleazy hair metal of the '80s and ushered in an era of real, dangerous rock.
