For example, in the version that appears on the Thank You Bonus DVD, the last shot of the video is a woman looking at a mirror image of herself and viewing her whole body while the mirror image drifts away. There are two different versions of this video, with minor but very noticeable differences. In this song from the Stone Temple Pilots first album, Core, Scott Weiland is addressing God, saying that with all the bad things God puts us through, why should he trust Him when the world comes to an end - a question of faith. It combines a visual interpretation of the song's lyrics with footage of a red-haired Weiland singing with the band as a lounge act in an empty bar. The award-winning music video, directed by Josh Taft, was released in 1993 and had heavy rotation on MTV. Weiland had also said that the song's lyrics are a metaphor for a failed relationship. The song's chord structure was inspired by Robert DeLeo's love of ragtime music, and its lyrics were loosely based on a newspaper article Scott Weiland had read about a girl who had been found dead in an area outside of San Diego. It is one of the band's biggest hits, and was released as the second single from the 1992 band's debut studio album, Core. They discuss how Shangri-La Dee Da is one of their defining accomplishments despite not having the commercial success of its predecessors, meaning many fans probably missed out on “Long Way Home.” Scott discusses how the band deserves a place among the most esteemed icons of rock and Jason reflects on the deep connection he feels to the band’s music."Plush" is a song by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots. Scott and Jason are both huge fans of Stone Temple Pilots. The song continues on into the unknown, fading out slowly during one of guitarist Dean DeLeo’s best solos, as did the band, who would face more setbacks and tragedy, but still continue on today. The lyrics and Weiland’s delivery, desperate with a desire to run away while also to hide - possibly indicative of his own drug use and personal problems - makes for an uneasy end to the record. This industrious era peaked with 2001’s Shangri-La Dee Da, a record as diverse as Tiny Music and at times as heavy as Core, exemplified by songs like “Long Way Home.”Īccording to Weiland, “Long Way Home” pays homage to one of their greatest influences, Led Zeppelin, with this huge, arena-ready track. In 1999, the band regrouped after a brief hiatus and had a period of relative stability where they were able to write, record, and tour steadily, overcoming the turmoil of the last several years and hitting a creative stride.
Suffering from a debilitating addiction that frequently resulted in canceled shows and even jail time for the singer, Weiland’s demons often seemed to stifle the band’s momentum. Their follow-up album, 1994’s Purple, honed their rock and pop foundation while their third record, 1997’s Tiny Music: Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, delved into jazz and psychedelia, resulting in their most adventurous album yet.ĭespite the band’s success, Stone Temple Pilots battled not only with critics but also Scott Weiland’s drug use. The band worked to shake off these comparisons and began crafting records that distinguished themselves as unique songwriters and musicians. Critics derided what they saw as the band’s attempt to adopt the sound and style of their musical contemporaries while audiences loved them for their instantly classic hard rock hits. For these reasons, the band was instantly labeled as part of the grunge movement associated with the US Northwest. Can you see like a child Can you see what i want I wanna run through your wicked garden.
Their debut record, Core, was filled with distorted guitars playing heavy riffs amid thundering drums and singer Scott Weiland’s howling dark lyrics. Subject: tab/stone temple pilots/wicked garden. Stone Temple Pilots arrived on the Southern California music scene in the early ’90s.
The fiftieth Skipped on Shuffle episode will be focused on the song “Long Way Home” by Stone Temple Pilots off their 2001 album Shangri-La Dee Da.
