idk I liked them a lot. they would still be around if the singer wasn’t kicked out for binging on heroin. He has a new band called Velvet Revolver.

STP was very popular from 1992 through 2003. An altercation between Scott Weiland and Dean DeLeo on the final gig of STP’s Shangri-La Dee Da tour, leading to the band’s official demise with much of the speculation surrounding Weiland’s inability to balance personal issues.
According to Dean DeLeo, steps toward a Stone Temple Pilots reunion started with a simple phone call from Weiland’s wife. She invited the DeLeo brothers to play at a private beach party, which led to the reconciliation of Weiland and the DeLeo brothers. In 2008, Stone Temple Pilots announced a 73-date U.S. tour on April 7 and performed together for the first time since 2002. The reunion tour kicked off at the Rock on the Range festival on May 17, 2008. STP continued to tour throughout 2009 and began recording its sixth studio album. In February 2010, it was announced that STP’s first album since 2001, Stone Temple Pilots, will be released on May 25, 2010.
Billboard Magazine reported that Scott Weiland will appear on Carlos Santana’s next album performing a cover of the Rolling Stones song “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking.”
Despite his success, his career has been plagued with heroin addiction, as well as several arrests. However, according to MTV News, Weiland has been free from heroin since 2002.
