Alright, so here is what I know about STP. The are a
band that was formed in San Diego in 1988. Weiland hooked up with Robert Deleo
at a show in California and then picked up Eric Kretz. and then after finally
convincing Dean Deleo to come to California They were officially known as Mighty
Joe Young. They recieved their first gig in 1990 in a place in L.A. After a
couple of years they got a big show in L.A. They hired agent Don Muller and he
told atlantic about Mighty Joe Young. After a while the band signed with
Atlantic. Unfortunately during recording Mighty Joe Young was told that a singer
had already taken the name Mighty Joe Young. After about a month the band came
up with Stone Temple Pilots. Finally The band finished their album CORE in
september 1992 and it went platinum. it was followed by a second release PURPLE
two years later which also was a big hit and with the Herion addictions aside,
Stone Temple Pilots is one of the best bandson the planet- or any planet..Early

Holein a Paper Heart), to the more subdued tracks of Creep, Pretty Penny, and
Big Empty. The STP trademark sound can be best heard on Plush, and Interstate
Love Song..Classic Rock and Roll for the new generation.. This band has it all-
variety, talent, harmony, lyrics and a great overall concept for each album
released.. It would be hard for me to say whichalbum is the "best" as each
carries with it its own style andflavor. Core is STP's forray into "pop"
culture carving out an immmediate presence in the "alternative" arena..Next,
came Purple- although sales were not quite as impressive as their first, this
album dives into new territory for the band..Best tracks include Insterstate
Love Song, Vasoline, Big Empty, and Pretty Penny. Their newest- Tiny ...
symbolizes the end of the black musical tradition that flourished in the early part of this century. The play showed the height of white appropriation of what had previously been a black cultural form. All the creative talent backstage was white. This development had been occurring slowly, throughout the 1920's, but black artists had often worked i...
In the early 50's, at the end of the big band swing era, came a form of music that, like others, parents would reject and their children would love. This type of music is known as Rock and Roll. Rock and Roll is defined as a popular type of music played on electric instruments and characterized by a strong beat and much repetition. Simply this me...
Personally I believe you can put no precise age on music due to there being many individual perceptions of music. Rocks clanking together in a pattern can qualify as music. Birds harmonizing as one can be music as well. So who are we as the human race to conclude that dinosaurs didn't once harmonize together in the past. However, according to the i...
The Italian Machavelli wrote two books before disclosing his theory about faking ones death. Notice that the 2 CD's from all eyes on me are called Book 1 and Book 2 instead of being called CD 1 and CD 2. And Now to the Alive Theory...

On April 15,I had the good fortune to attend Andrea Bocelli's concert at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim. Although I have attended classical concerts and operas in the past, this was my first since having begun voice classes. With my own experiences as a beginning voice student, I was able to observe things with a new awareness; details which I had...
