Review: Stone Temple Pilots at the Deltaplex in Grand Rapids, August 19, 2010
by Jen Pider
Stone Temple Pilots fans have always been unwavering in their affection for the band.
STP songs transcend criticism or comparison and head straight for the hearts of those who identify with them. Even back in January 1994 when Rolling Stone conducted a poll, the band was simultaneously voted Best New Band by Rolling Stone's readers and Worst New Band by the magazine's music critics.
Still, they've been out of the game since their 2001 release, Shangri-La Dee Da. After reuniting for a tour in 2008, then battling through a law suit with Atlantic Records, STP returned with their self-titled album in May of 2010.
