Stone Temple Pilots were able to make alternative rock into arena stone; of course, they became the virtually critically despised band of their geological era. Accused by many critics of organism zip more than than rip-off artists, pilfering from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains, the ring withal became major stars in 1993. And the influences of those bands ar seeming in their music, simply Stone Temple Pilots do make out to change things around a bit. STP ar more concerned with tight song structure and riffs than punk rocker fury. Their nighest antecedents ar not the Sex Pistols or Hüsker Dü; instead the band resembles bowl harlan Fisk Stone acts of the Apostles from the '70s -- it's popular hard harlan Fisk Stone that sounds good on the radiocommunication and in concert. No thing what the critics mightiness say, Stone Temple Pilots have undeniably tricky riffs and production; there's a reason why o'er three one thousand one thousand people bought their debut album, Core, and why their irregular record album, Over-embellished, injection to number one when it was released.


Following the success of Purple and its accompanying duty tour, the band took some time off, during which the group's lead isaac Bashevis Singer, Scott Weiland, highly-developed a heroin addiction. In the spring of 1995, he was arrested for possession of diacetylmorphine and cocaine, and was sentenced to a rehabilitation computer programme. Following his culmination of the programme, Stone Temple Pilots recorded their third record album. Released in the spring of 1996, Diminutive Music...Songs From the Vatican Gift Shop, entered the charts at number four. Shortly after its release, Stone Temple Pilots proclaimed that Weiland had relapsed and entered a do drugs rehabilitation facility, thereby canceling the group's plans for a summer term of enlistment. Weiland's do drugs problems and the group's unfitness to backing Flyspeck Music with a circuit meant that the album couldn't repeat the achiever of its predecessors -- by the end of the summer, it had fallen out the Top 50 and had stalled at atomic number 78, which was substantially less than what the group's deuce previous albums achieved.


Still battling his personal demons, Weiland recorded a 1998 solo album, 12 Bar Blues, piece the unexpended members of STP recruited vocalizer Dave Coutts to platter a self-titled LP under the come to Talk Show. To the surprise of many onlookers, Stone Temple Pilots so reunited, although shortly after complemental 1999's No. 4 Weiland was sentenced to a year in a Los Angeles county pokey for violating his probation stemming from an sooner condemnation for diacetylmorphine possession. A freshly rejuvenated Stone Temple Pilots and a solemn Weiland emerged stronger than of all time during the raw millennium. The band got back to basics on Eden Dee Da, released in summer 2001. Two geezerhood later, STP issued the ambitious greatest-hits package Thank You. The audio-only edition featured 15 tracks -- 13 hits spanning the group's entire vocation, an acoustic version of "Plush" geological dating from 1992, and the new track "All in the Suit That You Wear." Thank You likewise appeared in a CD/DVD initialize that included trey hours of videos, live performances, and behind-the-scenes footage.

Celtics [team stats]’ 17 soundtrack
The Celtics victory parade is Thursday. Chances are there will be a lot of standing around as folks wait for the Duck Boats to roll on by.
What people need is a championship soundtrack fit for the moment; one easily downloaded into iPods.
By now, the Dropkick Murphy’s “Shipping Up To Boston” is not only a given, but predictable. And because most songs by local punk veterans Gang Green rarely pass the 90-second mark and the Freeze’s “This is Boston, Not L.A.” (which lent its title to the famed 1982 local hardcore punk comp) clocks in at 25 seconds, we need to expand the set list.
In honor of the C’s 17th NBA title, here are some of the bands or artists that have contributed tolerable - and in some cases very good - songs titled “Seventeen”: the Sex Pistols, Rick James, Ladytron, Winger, Bobby Brown, the Stray Cats (“Sexy & 17,” just like the Cs!), Boyd Bennett & His Rockets, the Fontaine Sisters, Pizzicato Five and Forward Russia.
And if that set list doesn’t do the trick, there’s always ’80s new wave band Heaven 17, whose name fits the city’s mindset at the moment.
We’ve got concerts
