Secondly, I love that this song starts fast and intense, and never backs off from the pace for the entire song. First off, Weiland is crazy good and I love the megaphone-like distortion he brings to his vocals on the chorus. Not only is the original version stellar, there also is a widely played acoustic version they recorded for MTV’s Headbangers Ball that gives us a very honest and transparent view of Weiland as a singer.Īfter the next odd transition song, “Wet My Bed”, we get to my favorite song from this album, and definitely one of my favorite songs of the 1990s with “Crackerman”. Another dark song written around a tragic murder, the chords of this song are pretty iconic for the time. The rhythm section powers back in on “Piece of Pie”, followed up by their biggest hit from this album, “Plush”. Weiland’s vocals are particularly soulful here, and although it is slower than most of the others, it is a great change of pace. The hits continue with “Creep”, one of their slowest and most reflective songs, opening with a rarely heard acoustic guitar. There a couple of odd, short transition songs within the album like “No Memory”, an instrumental track, but the rock continues with the slow blast of “Sin” and the equally unsung but strong track “Naked Sunday”. Not unlike Axl Rose, Weiland has a very versatile voice that can present many different styles and sounds within a single song, and this song is a guaranteed volume increase. I particularly love the vocals and guitar on “Sex Type Thing”. Just as capable as being dark and disturbed, the album opens with three really excellent songs, “Dead and Bloated”, “Sex Type Thing” and “Wicked Garden”. Their debut album, “Core”, was one of my favorites of the time and I still love it just as much now. As time passed, their reputation enhanced significantly, and their music lives on today very actively on rock music radio.
Scott Weiland was a fantastic front man, bringing a hint of glam and charisma to this downtrodden genre, and the DeLeo brothers on guitar and bass delivered a high-energy crunch with every song. I never shared that opinion, and I think the argument could be made that the quality of songwriting and their overall delivery rates as high as any of the Seattle-based grunge bands who seemingly had more street credibility.
Many listeners looked down on them as some kind of 2 nd rate knock-off of Pearl Jam.
#STONE TEMPLE PILOTS PLUSH ACOUSTIC FREE#
If these free lessons help you, please donate to keep new ones coming daily.For some reason, the Stone Temple Pilots came on to the scene with a very negative connotation. In fact, following those rhythmic principles should help you be able to play along with just about any song if you practice it enough. I do mention some rhythmic tips and the end of the video lesson that I think will help you if you have any trouble in that area. Feel free to use any guitar you like to play along with the lesson. In any case, guitarist Dean Deleo plays everything the same for both versions of the song. I teach the lesson on an acoustic since there was an almost equally popular aversion of the song they did on acoustic as opposed to the original electric guitar version. But overall "Plush" is relatively easy to play. We do have a couple of barre chords to contend with including a major 7th chord form you may not be very familiar with.
There are some interesting chord forms, especially in the intro riff. We actually have some interesting things to tackle in this lesson. In this Plush guitar lesson I am going to teach you this massive hit note-for-note in it's entirety. Their huge hit "Plush" was being played virtually on repeat on the airwaves. One particularly great band that was thrown into that grunge category was the Stone Temple Pilots. The era when grunge came along and created pretty much a total musical revolution.
