I was never into Stone Temple Pilots, but Robert is so mellow and plays so well and is NOT the type of guy I would have said was a rock band member. This interview just made me smile quite a few times.
Good luck ever getting their riffs out of your heard, they're still in there, their riffs, in mine and it's been a long time. I have a CD I know without looking because they were pretty great in the moment. My mentor collector - RIP Mark - and guitar store crew went to see them, great reports I remember "a real guitar band" I remember him saying, very high accolade.
