STP is like if TJL was actually really fucking shitty

Christ, this band. And no amount of Zeppelin aping like on Interstate Love Song will change that. 90's-Robert DeLeo is boner fuel tho which is weird because his brother isn't.

CRAP

Seattle Pilots, original MLB team in town. Lasted one season before moving to Milwaukee and becoming the Brewers.

Stone Temple Pilots were better than the Seattle Pilots. That little two-note riff in Vasoline is good. The little open version of Rebel Rebel lick in Interstate Love Song.

At the time, I thought they were ridiculous. Nowadays, hardly any big mainstream rock bands--who cares--and like most old people I look back a little fondly (if guardedly so) at the past. They weren't Free or Thin Lizzy, but they also weren't Everclear or Paw. Bad Company/Alice in Chains territory.

Not crap but I'm not doing a lot of research here

True, but I doubt any former Stone Temple Pilots will ever write a memoir as good as Ball Four.

The "grunge" Mr Mister? What would that make them? Mr Mesa, maybe.

As in Boogie Dual Rectifier?

Very true, basically true of anyone

Where ya going for to-ma-to?
Where ya goin' with the mascarpone?
And I feel, and I feel
When she chaws the mozzarella
Will she provolone?

Uh, yeah. It was literally the first cheap grunge gear-related pun that worked for me straight off the bat.

Tiny Music... has some solid jams on it. "Trippin' on a Hole..." is a go-to karaoke tune for me.

I think of those first 3 records, there's one album's worth of very good-to-great songs.

Would rather listen to them than Alice In Chains.

Solid crap except for that one glammy song, something Baby I think.

Wasn't there a band called Red Temple Spirits?
