  1. From Stone Temple Pilots' official website:

     

    REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. (October 15, 2013) – EVNTLIVE, the online concert venue that captures the excitement and shared experiences of live concert viewing, today announced a partnership with Stone Temple Pilots (STP) with Chester Bennington. EVNTLIVE will offer fans a free, live stream of their November 1st concert at 8 p.m. EDT to promote their highly anticipated EP, High Rise.

    The men behind one of the most influential bands in rock and roll, bassist Robert DeLeo, guitarist Dean DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz of STP, recently joined forces with Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington. The new line-up of the band independently released a five-song EP, High Rise, on October 8th. The debut single ‘Out of Time’ reached number one on both the Mediabase Active Rock and Mainstream Rock chart, and their new single, “Black Heart” is climbing fast. The band’s first North American tour kicked off on September 4th and will continue with various dates throughout the end of the year.

    “It is a privilege to stream a concert from this unique tour for fans worldwide,” said David Carrico, co-founder and chief marketing officer. “We are especially excited to stream songs from the band’s new EP, introducing these songs to both longstanding and new fans.”

    EVNTLVE allows fans who cannot attend the show to watch high definition, multi-camera views of the concert on their computers, mobile, or tablet devices. Viewers have an all-access pass to watch their favorite performers, read the artists’ back-stories, purchase songs instantly and chat with fans around the world via EVNTLIVE’s “Buzz” feature.

    Fans can log onto www.evntlive.com starting at 8 p.m. EDT / 5 p.m. PDT on November 1st for the concert.

  2. - This is the first time that Chester sang acoustic versions of 'Interstate Love Song' and 'Big Empty' with Stone Temple Pilots.

    Big Empty was performed acoustic for the first time during the same "show" you mentioned in the previous note:

    - This was the first time that 'Pretty Penny' was performed since June 28th, 2013 (the first time Chester sang it with STP). That performance was also acoustic.

  3. The band will take a day off of their headlining USA Tour with Filter to play Rockwave at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida. Jane's Addition is headlining the festival with Stone Temple Pilots playing directly before them. Chevelle, Filter, Anberlin, Sunshine & Bullets, and Before The Fire will also be at the show.

     

    Chester has performed 'Mountain Song' by Jane's Addiction numerous times with Camp Freddy, which consists of some of the Jane's Addiction members. Will be perform it at this show?

    - Chester did NOT join Jane's Addiction.

  4. For some reason i want them to Cover "Feel Good Inc" by the Gorillaz lol

    Funny, I used to imagine this a couple of years ago.

    There's a bit in "Cry Cry" that is pretty reminiscent of "Feel Good Inc".

     

    I always wanted Chester to perform "Wicked Garden". This song is not even in my Top 20 list of STP songs, but for some reason I always wanted to hear his take on this particular song. My wish came true in even better way. lol

     

    I would love to hear Chester singing a song by Duran Duran.

  5. There's something that needs correction in "Did you know?" thing

     

    “QWERTY” was the first Linkin Park song (and only to date) to premiere live without being recorded beforehand. It was first played in 2006 in Japan and then recorded for inclusion on the LPU 6 CD.

     

    Wasn't the same with "A light that never comes"? I know that it premiered live before studio version of the song, but it's possible that they didn't record it beforehand.

    You can hear vocal samples from the studio recording during the live performance.

    Check 1:00-1:03, for example:

    Also, its impossible for EDM song to be performed live without it being recorded beforehand.

  6. Marilyn Manson - Lunchbox

    Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole

    The Cure - Just Like Heaven

    Faith No More - Epic

    Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock

    Public Enemy - Bring The Noise

    Beastie Boys - Gratitude

    Aerosmith - Dream On

    Pink Floyd - Young Lust

    The Beatles - Helter Skelter

    Alice Cooper - School's Out

    The Roots - The Seed 2.0

    Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock

    Jane's Addiction - Ocean Size

    Somehow I knew you would come up with the best selection.

    He did perform Helter Skelter though.

  7. Hey do you know the current songs very well that they are playing? I am trying to do setlist notes. BelowEmpty fans have given me 3 of them that I should use. Do you know of any more?

    So far, I have Church On Tuesday having a new guitar solo at the end, Pop's Love Suicide having a new ending, and Sour Girl being the version they started playing in 2008 with a guitar solo.

    I do know them very well. Still need to listen to some of the recent recordings. I'll do it asap.

    However, just of top of my head, the things you mentioned are the only "big" changes. They are basically playing the album versions of the songs. Well except for "Silvergun Superman". The ending of the studio version was intentionally recorded as if the band screwed it up. So they never play it this way live, of course.

  8. STP usually play 2000-5000 capacity venues for a non-festival US shows. I think it's a little bit too early to compare STP and STPWCB crowds, but this current tour is going very very well so far. I would say a bit better than the majority of STP shows from the last few years.

  9. There are a few differences in the lyrics of Wonderful between Shangri-La Dee Da version and the Family Values 2001 Tour CD version. Now, since they're both studio versions, I wonder which lyrics the band used in the live version?

    In the studio version, Scott sings "Know I'll be waitin' here alone" during the first two choruses and "Know you'll be safe but not alone" instead of it during the rest of the song. On "The Family Values" CD it's just "Know you'll be safe but not alone" all the way through the song.

    Scott always combined these lines differently during the shows.

    The interesting fact is that it looks like he first started to sing Ah-Ah's over the solo AFTER the Family Values version was released.

    Anyway, there's not too many live recordings from 2002 and the band never performed this song ever since they reunited in 2008. However, Scott performed it one or two times during his Christmas tour.

     

     

    Don't watch the video unless you want to cringe in embarrassment for him. lol

  10. I am not the best source when it comes to STP stuff, but the fact that I am a Global Moderator on BelowEmpty forums and a fan of Stone Temple Pilots and Scott Weiland for a longer time than 98% of LP community is definitely helps me to be able to run a thread like this.

  11. STP.com: The new EP from Stone Temple Pilots (with Chester) is titled "High Rise" and will be released on October 8th via 13STAR RECORDS.
