These two never get enough props. They were light years ahead of their "peers" in that grungy early 90s era. Their skill as musicians was incomparable. They wrote classics too. Interstate Love Song blew my mind back in '94. I knew it was a classic from the get go. Hootie was covering it within a year or two. They both come off as genuinely good people. And they loved Scott immensely.
hey: respecto: but wait: which 'two' were you referrin' to, if you don't mind my askin', of course? and 'hootie' wasn't a guy, dude, any more than 'van' was a guy, in the so-called 'halen' band... of course i probably don't have to tell you that... but why drag the blowfish into this: and by the way, i think the drummer of 'hootie's was the actual blowfish: or it might've been that guitar player in the band: he definitely blew-like-a-hurricane, man, am i right??
@@Neuroguitarist I totally agree man! I've said it so many times how underrated he is! He has such an interesting ear for weird but amazing note choices! Love everything about it!
He always writes great parts...has great tone and keeps things interesting. His playing always serves the song too...its not just flash. Definitely an underrated player
met Robert outside his studio in approx 2002, he came up to my car when i was parking about to go into my friends practice studio, i handed him our demo cd and he was so warm and graceful with a huge smile, really a great guy ... stp one of the best of all time will live forever
Wow. That's quite a story. The closest I ever came to engaging with Robert was a show in 2010. I was in the front row and he looked at me, as I pointed to him in acknowledgment. He responded in kind, smiling and patting his hand over his heart. I'm glad I had that moment with him.
On a cold winters night in Toronto about 12 or 13 years ago, Dean and Robert DeLeo walked into the Cameron House. On the outside it looks like a high-profile venue, but on that night it was an empty Open Mic Night
I'm wondering whether I'm thinking that Jonesy is the most enjoyable interviewer I've ever listened to. So laid back and unforced. Jonesy's got the good stuff!
Always knew the DeLeos sandbagged until the right times. They both have chops in spades, and that's what really keeps them 'in the room'. Plus, anyone who noodles Holdsworth in an arena before showtime automatically gets a pass for life.
@@iain2080 dang, mannequin, i'm assumin' that the 'steve' was the host of the show, and the original post was about whatever they played, tho this was apparently six months ago: okay, so obviously if i can guess this now, with virtually no memory of the incident, then presumably i was prob'ly jokin', or somethin'...why, was it a good jam? it sounds like maybe it might be worth re-listening, based on some comments above and below, eh? but hey, you-tell-me, mister bully~ as a matter of fact, i rode a regular school bus when i was in the public school system, many years 'n' decades ago... and then i had a long, colorful career working with developmentally disabled people, i'll have you know... i may have laughed with 'em at times, but seldom did i ever laugh at 'em, or if i occasionally did, they would probably not be knowin' the difference and my favorite thing to do with them in their homes, or even on their buses, was to make them laugh, with my acoustic guitar as a matter of fact...
This might be the funniest interview I’ve seen in a long time! Nice to see the rapport he has with the Deleos & how they embrace & riff off Steve’s dry humor.
I liked the interview, although I'm not fluent in English... STP is the best group of the 90's. My favorite member is Robert. I love Robert🥰, He has a nice smile and a nice voice and a great bass player.
Nice improvising there Dean, you guys are the best. I truly hope you're able to get back up on your feet again and sell out arenas and festivals soon! Thanks for putting such an amazing re-issue together for "Core", I hope to see the other albums done the same way! Much love!
BEAUTIFUL GUITAR WORK, FELLAS! I am genuinely impressed...no wonder Robert didn't come in with some vocalizations (although he very well could have -- he's a terrific singer)...that kind of guitar beauty needs no other voice. Just, wow, guys. For some improv "noodling," it's just stellar stuff. I want a CD copy of this. Yes, take Steve out on the road with you, DeLeo bros!
God, I love and admire Steve Jones! He is a trooper. a winner a great guy! From a junkie strung out on smack to a gainfully employed lover of life. What is not to love?
Its really good to hear the position the brothers took on Scott.Yes, what a talent. I grew up with brothers and a dad and other people who were attics. I tried to join the attic thing to be part of. That didnt work out so well. Its painful to see talented loved ones destroy themselves before ones eyes. They would usually wanted me to join them in self destruction. The codependency thing is real and its nice to here that the Deleos are real dudes, talented to the extreme, who cared so much for these guys. But they didnt join the insanity to keep STP original. That must have been real tough to let go of. Best to ya Boys.
Heard this live. Was blown away . They played a lot more than what’s here, but thank you for posting this. If you get a chance check out Trip the Witch. A record Dean did with Tom Bukovac.
5:49 - Totally. In one of their live videos Scott’s singing Vasoline into the camera with his hair bright red and I’m thinking yeah that’s a huge John Lydon thing he was into.
this is one of the most beautiful and genuine interviews I have gotten to watch in I don't know how long...how cool. Awesome noodling too, does everyone call it that?
At first I didnt notice it but if you look closely he's doubled strunfed the two lowest keys and obviously is using an open tuning method like brian may always uses
Stellar Noodle climbed out of her bathroom window onto the roof of her house. From here she could see clear across the known world, and it all finally made sense. She could see the connections and, more importantly, the way out.
