STONE TEMPLE KISS

I’ve always loved Stone Temple Pilots and refuse to make any apologies about it. Found this video at HardRockChick.com of Stone Temple Pilots dressed up in full KISS makeup for a show in 1993 at The Roseland Ballroom in NYC, and it goes to prove what I’ve been saying all along; STP were always just a modern version of their classic rock heroes, unfairly thrown into the whole grunge / alternative axis by some marketing minions in a major label conference room. Here they are performing “Crackerman;” look at that audience go apeshit. Also: is Weiland actually playing that guitar or just hamming it up as part of the Paul Stanley shtick?

Rumor has it that the DeLeo bros. are working on material for a new STP album while Weiland finishes up his solo tour. No word yet on the status of the pending lawsuit with Atlantic Records.

DeLeo bros. 4-evr!
