Wasn't there a band called Red Temple Spirits?

“Big Bang Baby”. Great song. That’s the only song of theirs that I ever liked.

Sometimes on a 90's prime-time soap opera there will be a woman trying to turn her life around that decides to open a bar or night club. There is this band she really believes in that have an a & r guy and they become the house band while the club gets off the ground. They have so much potential and the album they recorded is amazing.

This is what Stone Temple Pilots sound like.

Tell me this is not gorgeous;

Yeah, I think the L.A. Rökk Biz / Viper Room / Velvet Revolver tribe were always more comfortable w/ STP then the other grunge bands (*), authenticity hucksters recognising each other.... That crowd were REALLY into the 2nd QOTSA record when it came out, as I recall. Must be a sleazy attitude thing?

(*Alice in Chains were also an easy point of adoption, but Layne's genuine dysfunction / reclusive self-destruction were a bit of a tough sell by the mid-90s.)

HA, I just happened to be listening to that song as I saw your post.

Wonderful tune, trumpet solo, constant riding of the china cymbal in the pre-chorus, lovely stuff.

CRAP

I keep laughing at this. Salut.

Straight up...

If the rest of the band ever goes out with Hootie fronting the thing?

I am actually going to have to seriously consider going.

Come to think of it...

I actually saw them at the Aragon in the slot before The Flaming Lips and The Butthole Surfers.

They sure didn't beat The Flaming Lips, but they may very well have been better than The Butthole Surfers.

Triple X,

I'm uncertain if i want you to stop Hootie-ing the threads, or if I want you to Hootie them all.

Confounded,

Faiz

lol i love it
darius rucker is such a sincere dude, is there a better fit than that particular stp song? i don't think so. no solos, no falsetto, no jazz fills*. just 4 guys from wherever south carolina.

* and here comes rick beato to prove me wrong...
