131. Stone Temple Pilots – Dead and Bloated
What’s happened with a lot of the bands I’ve written about is that I think, eh not my favorite, but I’ll find something. Then I go through their catalog and realize how much of their music I do like. So much so with STP, that I had a hard time coming up with a favorite song.
I chose this one because I saw the band play some time back in the mid 90’s. The first half of their show was an acoustic set – the band was lowered down onto the stage on a platform set up like a living room – and when they did a stripped down version of this song, it just blew me away. In fact, the whole acoustic set was pretty amazing.
I heard Scott Weiland on the radio the other day, playing DJ at the KRock studios with some members of Velvet Revolver. He played Jealous Again by Black Flag and Wave of Mutilation by the Pixies and it sure was nice to hear those songs on the radio. So props to Mr. Weiland.
I need to go in the garage and find my STP cds.
Other songs considered: Big Bang Baby, Wicked Garden, Trippin’ on a Hole in a Paper Heart
