Stone Temple Pilots

In 2012, Stone Temple Pilots were riding high on the resurgence brought on by their work with Chester Bennington, best known as the lead vocalist of Linkin Park. This collaboration led to the release of their self-titled album in 2010, which was their first album with Bennington and featured a sound that blended the classic STP vibe with fresh elements, resonating well with both longtime fans and new listeners. During the KROQ Weenie Roast on November 30, 2012, the band delivered a stirring performance of 'Dead and Bloated,' a standout track from their iconic 1992 debut album, 'Core'. This live recording captured a significant moment, further establishing Bennington's role in the band and showcasing their ability to blend nostalgia with a contemporary edge. It's fascinating to think how this performance reflected a transitional phase for the band, marking a moment of revitalization amidst their storied career.
