They eventually reconciled and recorded more music only to have him sacked in 2013 and then the gifted lead singer passed away in 2015. One thing they couldn't control was their relationship with Scott, who joined Velvet Revolver after the band took a break / broke up in 2002. The album Purple came soon after in '94 and that confirmed they were onto something special. Their insane debut album Core blew us all away in '92 and somehow this band found their place while the market was crowded with other bands at the time, like Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Porno for Pyros.
Out of San Diego, the original lineup was Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo and of course Eric Kretz on drums. Stone Temple Pilots are one of the great bands to come out of the 90s. This is Robin Zander from Cheap Trick, on The Rider with Becko (Make sure you catch up on the chat with Gavin Rossdale from Bush and Eric Kretz from Stone Temple Pilots) It would have been wild! Luckily it hasn't come to that, and it's on until March 27 in Brisbane. The solution was, they all stay at a resort together for two weeks in quarantine. They relentlessly toured warehouse parties and taverns until they were signed to a major label - funnily enough, discovered playing at a bowling alley! The first 2 albums weren't a huge success either, but after a 'Beatlemania like' trip to Japan and the release of 'Live at Budokan' it all just happened! That lead to 'Surrender' and 'Dream Police' and worldwide attention.Īs part of Under the Southern Stars, they are coming back to Australia and a lot has changed! UTSS was revolutionary, trying to bring international bands to Australia while we were cut off from the world during covid. The band, Cheap Trick weren't an overnight success. We are so excited to have international bands back on tour with Under The Southern Stars kicking off last week. This is The Rider with Becko, and Todd Kerns from Slash, Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators "The River is Rising" and "Call off The Dogs" are clear highlights.īecko chats with Todd about life before working with Slash and how the audition went to get the gig - imagine growing up with 'Appetite' and 'Use Your Illusion' and then getting to work with Slash! Todd also opens up about his chats with GN'R legend Duff McKagan. Then Todd and Brent Fitz caught it, and the album stalled.ĭespite the set-backs, the latest album 4 comes with a killer sound. What they didn't know, is that Myles Kennedy at the time had Covid and was about to sit out a week after a positive test.
The band wanted to get in the right head-space to record an album "as LIVE" and the tour bus trip was the perfect opportunity, especially after the isolation of Covid lockdowns to get to know each other again. They jumped in a tour bus and travelled across the country to Nashville, to record in the historic RCA Studios - famous for Elvis and the Everly Brothers. Post-Covid, recording comes with its risks. Slash has released his 4th album with Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators and this one didn't come easy.
