Stone Temple Pilots

In the wake of their breakout success, Stone Temple Pilots were riding high with the release of their second album, 'Purple,' just a year prior to this recording in November 1995. The band was established as one of the defining groups of the '90s alternative rock scene, having transformed their sound from grunge roots into a more polished rock experience. This particular live recording, captured during an MTV Europe News interview, unfolds during a critical moment as they were preparing for their 'Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop' era. It’s fascinating to note that the band's journey was dotted with internal struggles and lineup changes, yet they managed to deliver emotionally charged performances—something that is palpable even in this candid press conference setting.
