I wonder if we'll get deluxe editions of the other albums. Tiny Music is one of my favorite albums ever, so it would be nice to hear what else came of those sessions.

Purple, maybe, Tiny Music, perhaps. Doubt it we will see a super deluxe megaset for anything after that. Can't belive No.4 is nearly 20 years old.Originally Posted by ghostaustin

Wasn’t that quest for the new frontman something going on early in 2016? Thought that would have been a done deal by now. Not that I was ever a Bennington fan, but why didn’t he stick with it in STP? He didn’t seem to have the vocal range of Weiland, but he did have the stage presence and bravado a group like STP needs to fill the void left by Scott. But why are these guys even still going as STP, what do they have left in the tank? Even when Scott reunited in 2010 the new music they made with wasn’t all that good, nor was their new output with Bennington. I’m not sure if they’ll maintain relevance if they settle for an economy sound-alike to just do tours and play the hits.

He left to focus on Linkin Park and his family. Rumor is the new guy is Jeff Gutt from the X Factor, some talent show.

I'm very happy with the Core remaster. I thought that the original CD from 1992 sounded fine, and didn't really need an upgrade and a remaster might suffer from brickwall mastering--but this remaster sounds really good. It's maybe a little louder, and sounds a little crisper. With a good set of headphones you can tell a subtle difference.

I found the Core “super deluxe” box set thing in a record store yesterday for $45. Well worth it. This album sounds terrific even a quarter-century later. The bonus material is satisfying, as well.
”Creep” is still one of my favorite songs ever. So timeless, haunting and noir as fuck. One of my favorite music videos of all time, too. It’s always amazing, no matter how many times I hear it..
I hope they do something like this in a couple years for Purple’s 25th..

Really? 3 or 4 discs of it are live performances...meh to me. Could've been better. I was interested till I read the track listing after initial announcement. I lost interest after seeing it was just shit heard and seen elsewhere easily.
Active Member
It's a good value--the album on record, remastered album (sounds great), demos, MTV unplugged and live shows from '93. The packaging is really nice, as are the photos, essay etc. Since the boxset exclusively focuses on the Core era, I don't know what else it could have included.

Really liking the MTV Unplugged performance.
I prefer this over the album version.
Damn, Weiland looks like a kid here.

I always liked Interstate Love Song, Trippin and Creep. I never got to see them live, but I found a really awesome concert video shot in NYC on youtube. Scott was one of the coolest frontmen ever. RIP

I find it amusing when people called stp a pearl jam/ aic ripoff....with the irony being stp came first (the band which eventually became stp formes in 85 while the latter two formed in 90 and 87 respectively)
I guess it didnt help that Core came out the same day as Dirt did
Active Member
But Core was released a year after Nevermind and Ten. Very early STP (The Mighty Joe Young demos) sounds more like RHCP. They did borrow from the Seattle songbook on their first album, but hey, so what? Those songs are great. "Plush" is as good as anything else that was on rock radio in the early 90's.
And that could have been it, they could have been a flash-in-the-pan, but they only got better with Purple, arguably their crowning achievement.
Active Member
The main reason for the PJ ripoff thing is because the record label literally handed STP a copy of Ten and encouraged Scott to sing like Eddie. But yeah, they moved beyond that and carved our their own separate legacy.
And I can't wait to see what the Purple reissue has in store.

Looks like STP will play a show 11/14. No singer named:

something must be coming soon, everyday they’re posting a picture of a jigsaw piece that i assume is going to make up a new album cover on social media

The show's in a couple days and nothing yet?
Active Member
Tuesday.
Throbbing Member
My guess for the probable new STP lead singer reveal tomorrow…
Spoiler: …Dee Snider!
Active Member
No, no and no. It will be probably someone we never heard of, like David Coutts. If Talk Show hadn't been a massive flop they could have had a 20th anniversary tour and recorded a new album. I actually really liked their album and Coutts wasn't bad.

Would be hilarious if it's Dave Coutts.

Doubt if his supervisor at Papa Gino's would let him take that much time off work for a tour/recording sessions.
Active Member
So, the new album is called Meadow (announced on their website) and the singer's identity has leaked.

Now get to touring, guys! I want to throw all my hard-earned money at you!

The article specifically says that guy is NOT the new singer.

I mean, if you're going to be technical about it...
