I love STP so much. Scott is a Legend, along with the rest of the band. Their live performaces, that we can thankfully watched here on the KZbin, are truly a thing of art, as well. Unreal talent. I put STP up there at Ascendent status with RUSH, and RUSH is my all time, hands-down favorite band.

U eso te tiraba abajo . Por eso los noventa fueron muy creativos y deprimentes al mismo tiempo igual los extraño

[@rael2099]

This album blew my mind when it came out. I was a fan of the band already, angry at all the bad press and jokes at their expense, but Tiny Music came out and I felt vindicated. That album was pure class, artistry, and musicianship. I love more No. 4 now, but this album was one of those few game changers in my life. Great times, great memories. R. I. P. Scott and my late older bro who also loved this album to pieces.

[@freddielujan3442]

Tiny Music is vastly underrated

[@okilfeathermusic]

Tiny Music is incredible, always been my favourite, though No. 4 is pretty close too. they were against the grain at the time with the small amp sound, big beefy compressed guitars were the order of the day in the 90s and STP were just doing what bands like the Strokes would hit big with a few years later.

[@someperson8151]

@@okilfeathermusic No 4 had too much bass. Wish they had cleaned it up. Terrible engineer. It could have been better.

[@okilfeathermusic]

@@someperson8151 that's what I like most, after the trebly and raspy Tiny Music, No 4 hit perfect, mean and muddy rock with loads of great janky treble-heavy sections by guitar and cymbals esp. if the sound doesn't do anything for you, that's totally fair, but it was defo a choice by the producer rather than incompetence. also, even if it were the one STP record to be teabagged throughout by Robert DeLeo, I'd be fine with that.

[@chriscunningham6401]

Core was the first album I ever purchased. I didn't even know people didn't like STP until I had already bought their albums. Guess others didn't pick up on them until too late.

[@kelseymcgarrah2858]

In my opinion this is the hands-down,the most unappreciated and greatest rock band of our generation... Anyone who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, knows exactly what I'm talking about, they were leaps and bounds in front of anyone, when it came to songwriting, and talent..

[@schoolybear1]

I saw them open for Megadeth in 1992, I believe. And the people that were there weren't paying much attention to them. I, however knew they'd be great. :)

[@badgercentralist]

I agree about them being unappreciated, to a degree. But they were massively rated at the time as a leading force and also with the bands they were compared to and "up against" they were actually up against bands that were already becoming legends. The standards were so high at this time in music history. There were really no bad bands until the grunge imitators came along

[@wuddupnoah]

It was always my impressions that STP got a lot of undeserved hate, mostly bc they blew up fast and in some ways contributed to the saturation of Grunge, just like youre saying about the imitators. A lot of people viewed them as just riding the wave, but like compare this song to Sex Type Thing. Incredibly diverse band and Weiland especially is an underrated songwriter and vocalist on his own. Songs like Interstate Love Song and Plush just get so much play on rock radio to this day, which i personally have no problem with, but even their most popular album, Core is a very cohesive yet off-kilter at times.

[@whitneygibson3431]

We got a different Scott Weiland with every song he sang, this particular one shows my favorite version of him, handsome & healthy, before the heroin made him gaunt & almost reptilian, still sexy though & a voice that never once wavered despite his offstage habits. To me, he was the closest person performing that I could compare to Bowie, in the sense that both were always evolving into another facet, another side of their personalities. The ability to be an amazing performer like they both were, was to put aside the inhibition that we naturally come up against when expected to say or do something with a crowd watching. They, like other rock stars, are born of something entirely different, as if the ability to feed off the audience drives the mind-blowing performance that people showed up to see. Scott Weiland was incredibly handsome, sang powerfully, had that special something, a charisma required to operate on the level that he did. Others we know to be similar, besides prior mention of David Bowie, include Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, David Lee Roth, Bon Scott, Marc Bolin, plus so many more. He was incredibly talented, but also addicted, troubled & died too young @ only 48, a father who left small children behind. He will forever be remembered as the rock star with a megaphone, one of the few I can recall who used one onstage while performing. Rest easy, wherever it is we go when its time, may your music always remain.

2:40 their take on the "Brady Squares" gives me life!

[@Shivi1823]

Weiland was a ridiculous frontman, thank you for making my youth so much better! Your an amazing artist and positive memory of my youth! So thank you.

[@hendo337]

I had this recorded on a VHS tape off MTV2 when I was I Jr. H.S. It wasn't played very often on TV I really liked it, before that I played the entire purple album on repeat in elementary school over and over.

This is the most incredible low budget video it amazes and facinates me each time I watch it.

[@strummer2123]

Happy 20th anniversary Big Bang Baby!! 20 years ago... (march 23th, 1996) Stone Temple Pilots release this PERFECT song. Thank you Scott Weiland!! :)

[@canislupus7421]

One of the greatest bands ever with one of the greatest frontmen ever. 💚

[@missl3163]

The man was gorgeous 🔥

[@nickynice7111]

One of the most underrated debut singles ever from an album from the most underrated band in the history of rock. There, I said it!

[@stephenworldwide]

Nick Rob not underrated by me. always thought this song rocked. but most underrated band....that's a stretch.

[@sebastianmaharg]

Debut single? Are you kidding? This is from their third album.

[@WildBillHickums]

This song somehow makes me draw a connection between 60's groove and grunge and how they're oddly similar.

[@jdlightsey]

Without a doubt the best STP song, and very peak early 90s grunge. Discordant sound, ambiguous lyrics, mildly androgynous visuals...perfect.

[@thelovelynobody9322]

Scott was so beautiful 💕 Also I think he's like the only guy who can pull off those pants

[@cherlynburleson4364]

I'm back again.....just to see how handsome he is. 😍

REST IN HEAVEN SCOTT WEILAND

[@LucasPenido]

Been listening to this since am 14…am 41 not tired yet!

[@mikereiss4216]

Great tune that I remember from the old days. It has an almost Beatles like quality during the chorus.

[@justinbuonvino4168]

The chorus is an homage/lift of The Rolling Stones' "Jumping Jack Flash" ..."Ackchyually"

[@Jartisann]

A very original groovy dance for a rock band singer. Also many jazzy notes in many songs of this album. This is what I call style and what makes this album super special. A combo of all.

[@JJAcrosstheUSA]

It's really sad to see Scott in his younger years :(. His music was a huge part of my life (good & bad) and I can't believe it's almost been a year since we lost him. A great voice from a great band!!!

[@sheribruce6145]

Remembering Scott Weiland today and celebrating his music ❤️ He was without a doubt one of the best Front Man ever!! Crazy Amazing Vocals, Moves and Style..just Ultra cool!! Hope u are Resting in Paradise Mr.Wieiland sadly gone💔 but never forgotten 🥀

[@MCD1319]

I remember coming home from work , and my flatmate was playing Big Bang baby on 10, went and bought the album the next day, ah …..bring back the 90s

[@46_and28]

How did they change their entire sound and still sound good

[@jenniferholland9436]

This band, this man.. is the epitome of rock and roll. I love him so much, glad I saw them 3rd row floor. Out of this world talent and showmanship

[@MrChuckwagon55]

I remember watching the initial launch of this video and knew they had hit their zenith. I thought this was STP at their greatest, their coolest.

[@johnathontilicki4396]

I love how these guys showed how talent was beholden to their collective talents, coming together and making new, creative, good sounding rock music. It's a distinctive music machine that ran awesome. It's such a bummer to know Scott lost to his demons, because he left an awesome music legacy.

[@anthonylennen4067]

Most underrated band if all time.

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

Not really......is 1 of the 4 best unplugged bands....nirvana...alice in chains....pearl jam and them....

[@frankburdodrums8984]

Agreed. Also how incredibly artistic the video was in spite of being completely basic. It had to be coming out from somewhere. It was oozing out of THEM.

[@frankburdodrums8984]

@@ericrojasvelez8891 And how many of those did they do?

[@kellyskloset350]

I don’t think they were underrated...

[@Stormboli]

STP is underrated? since when?

[@andyglamrock]

This video still looks incredibly modern and cool

[@agt462]

Such an amazing song and album......so sad that while this gem exploded on radios and TV in 1995, Scott was forced into rehap and album was not toured losing millions and millions of dollars.

[@jayhanneman8962]

I don't know any other rock star who can pull off a vomit colored pants and not look tacky or sleazy. So cool Scot R.I.P.

[@fonkyjunkie]

Weilant was the most versatile rock voice ever. Period

[@JHallDaBoss]

This is 60/70s hard rock/psychedelica, 90s alt rock, and 2000s indie all at once. I'm convinced the boys were time travelers 😮

[@omegajrz1269]

In fact it sounds like an Oasis song.

[@killforfiend]

1960s and 1970s Nostalgic Essence at some of its finest! Thank you STP

[@Alliem71]

I love his neon/lime green pants. This looks like a 70’s video. I’d forgotten how cool they were
