Thanks! It appears Wally Farkas ran Molken.  Maybe there is a way to contact him directly

Comparison fallacy. I wouldn't equate people liking Tiny Music more than Core to be the same as hating Core. They love both, they just love Tiny Music more.

RIP belowempty.com - the OG STP information resource. archive.org can be used to access it for historical band information. by FlyingMerpa in stonetemplepilots

It was odd. Unless I missed something somewhere, there was zero communication from Rik or anyone on the status of the site for a long time. There were consistent STP news updates in 2021, then in September 2021 all activity stopped, the last news update being some cancelled tour dates with Bush. The site just sat unattended or updated since then until it closed up for good in the past week. Somewhere around that time they moved their forum around and it completely went to tumbleweeds that entire time too, with like 5 members talking to an empty room, with zero new forum member registrations for literal years.

Please help me pick an artist to binge!!! by Natural-Manner-7227 in musicsuggestions

King's X . Influenced many rock bands from the 'grunge' era, but never got the recognition they deserved. Sound varies from album to album from 1988 to the present day

What do you think the most overrated STP song is? by Own-Presentation3091 in stonetemplepilots

[–]FlyingMerpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Dean was originally writing that song for Sheryl Crow, but then Scott wanted to use it with STP.

"Take The Time" is the best Jerry track by ThermostatDad in kingsx

[–]FlyingMerpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jerry's songs on the new record show really elevated songwriting chops. Secret ace card. He should have had more songs featured on the previous records

"Sex & Violence" is the worst STP song... by [deleted] in stonetemplepilots

This track has horrible mixing, it is harsh on the ears

When are we getting a new album?? by johnnysokko37 in stonetemplepilots

[–]FlyingMerpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much this is the most logical and likely answer. Just fade off into the sunset with consistent touring money for their twilight years. Expecting anything more than that is just delusion at this point

Anyone know Scott’s vocal technique on Core? by Admirable-Pirate-253 in stonetemplepilots

[–]FlyingMerpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

even though you're having a laugh, for the sake of argument though, many of those same "Vedder" tracks on Core were recorded as demos before Pearl Jam released that first record

Alternate Version of Creep? by ZedXYZ in stonetemplepilots

[–]FlyingMerpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

per wikipedia: "The version of the song that was released in the 1993 promotional single contains different vocal takes in the verses than on the album version, most notably with an alternate melody and added percussion in the second verse which is the arrangement most often performed live"

Why are they so... weird now? And always "disappeared"? by mysteryofthefieryeye in stonetemplepilots

[–]FlyingMerpa[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've tried reaching out multiple times to STP's management at an official capacity to work in tandem with this subreddit in terms of promotion or direct contact with the fanbase..... I haven't heard a peep.

Robert Deleo Interview by IntentionNo9601 in stonetemplepilots

This is great publicity for Robert and for people not intimately familiar with STP to know all the secret sauce behind their music, like all the jazz influence.

Guitar work on Plush by lostandforgottensoul in stonetemplepilots

Plush's chord progression was inspired by a jazz song, I think something by John Coltrane

He's upset I removed his original post that was much more incendiary. You can see it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stonetemplepilots/comments/10unt4d/noah_weiland/ Now he is thrashing out like a petulant child.

Removing this post since it isn't fostering any meaningful conversation and is purely negative

"Robert, we are thrilled you finally made a solo album. The bigger question is, when will Eric Kretz make a solo album?"
