Stone Temple Pilots is an American rock band from San Diego, California that consists of brothers Robert DeLeo and Dean DeLeo, and Eric Kretz. The lineup included Scott Weiland as lead vocalist until his firing in February 2013. After forming in 1986 under the name Mighty Joe Young, the band signed with Atlantic Records and changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots. STP found immediate success in 1993 after releasing their debut album Core, and went on to become one of the most commercially successful bands of the 1990s. The band released four more studio albums: Purple, Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, No. 4 and Shangri-La Dee Da before separating in 2003, after which the band members partook in various projects, most notably Velvet Revolver and Army of Anyone. STP eventually reconvened in 2008 for a reunion tour, released a new self-titled album in 2010, and actively toured until Weiland was fired from the band. While initially displaying a sound typically identified as grunge early on in its career, further releases from the band have shown a variety of influences, including psychedelic rock, bossa nova and classic rock. The band's evolution throughout the 1990s and early 2000s involved several tumultuous periods of commercial highs and lows, brought about in part by Weiland's well-publicized struggles with drug addiction. LESS
