alternative rock · 1992–1999
Stone Temple Pilots is an American alternative rock and grunge band that emerged from San Diego in 1989. With core members Dean DeLeo on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass, and drummer Eric Kretz, they initially found their voice with the distinctive vocals of Scott Weiland. Their catalog features hits like "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," and "Vasoline," blending gritty riffs and melodic hooks.
