“Silvergun Superman” – also one of my favorites on this album and they nailed it. “Pretty Penny” – perfectly exemplified what made STP so special. This is not just one of my favorite songs on the album but one of my favorite songs ever. It was during this song I realized that both Jeff and Robert were wearing their sunglasses inside throughout the whole performance. “Interstate Love Song” – the still image of the recording log combined with narration continued between practically every song after that, this time with a story about how Interstate Love Song came about. “New guy” singer Jeff Gutt sounded slightly Scott on this song. He said the slide extremes in the guitar were meant to represent the plane going down. “Lounge Fly” – my suspicions about this being live were further escalated before the band played this song after a still image of the original recording log came onto the screen and Dean told a story of how the song was written on the record label’s private jet on a particularly turbulent ride getting from the Grammy’s in L.A. There was no talking to address the audience up to this point and it seemed a little too produced. At this point I also started questioning how “live” this livestream was. “Vaseline” – made me think of Scott’s sad performance that went viral near the end of his life where something was clearly wrong. “Meatplow” – still rockin’ with that killer riff. Below are some expansions of notes I jotted down as I was watching the livestream: Scott Weiland would be missing of course, but having seen Jeff Gutt front the band through its set at Aftershock 2019 I was confident he could help keep the spirit of the songs alive. More than 25 years later I was excited to revisit an album still fairly heavy in my personal rotation by witnessing a livestream of the album performed by the band.

He has long struggled with personal problems, which led to the band breaking up in 19. “For now, the group has a second gig scheduled for Club Nokia in Los Angeles on May 30.”Īlthough Weiland seemed surprised to be kicked out of the band, many would argue he is a reason for its ups and downs over the years.
“No details have been announced yet on how the new arrangement will work and what impact it will have on LP’s next album, or if Bennington will tour with STP,” MTV said. The new song, “Out of Time”, is the band’s first new song since 2010. It sounds like Bennington is still very much dedicated to his original band, but he told MTV he has been a fan of STP since he was 13 years old.

According to MTV, the weekend show was a surprise, but the band has also recorded a song with Bennington. Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington was only 10 years old when Stone Temple Pilots formed, but he is apparently their new lead singer. Scott Weiland fired?
