Stone Temple Pilots, commonly abbreviated as STP, is an American rock band formed in San Diego, California, in 1989. The original lineup consisted of lead vocalist Scott Weiland, drummer Eric Kretz, and brothers Dean (guitar) and Robert DeLeo (bass). This lineup remained unchanged until Weiland was fired in February 2013. Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington joined the band in May 2013 but left in November 2015. Weiland died in December 2015, and Bennington died in 2017. In 2016, the band held an online audition for a new lead vocalist and announced Jeff Gutt as their singer on November 14, 2017. The band initially formed under the name Swing, later changing to Mighty Joe Young, before signing with Atlantic Records and adopting the name Stone Temple Pilots. Their debut album, "Core" (1992), was a major commercial success. They released four more studio albums—"Purple" (1994), "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop" (1996), "No. 4" (1999), and "Shangri-La Dee Da" (2001)—befo
