Stone Temple Pilots

Here's a look at the front side of these guitar picks, the back side was blank.

Emerging from San Diego in the early 1990s, Stone Temple Pilots (STP) carved out a massive presence in the alternative rock landscape. While initially lumped into the Seattle-dominated grunge movement with their 1992 debut album, Core, the band quickly proved they were far more than a regional trend. Anchored by the late Scott Weiland’s chameleonic vocals and enigmatic stage presence, alongside the intricate, jazz-inflected guitar work of Dean DeLeo, the driving bass of Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz’s powerful drumming, STP developed a signature sonic footprint. They masterfully blended heavy, distorted riffs with rich, melodic hooks, creating an accessible yet deeply textured sound that dominated rock radio for over a decade.
As the 1990s progressed, Stone Temple Pilots continuously evolved, shedding the "grunge" label by leaning heavily into psychedelia, glam rock, and classic pop sensibilities on defining albums like Purple and Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop. This artistic versatility yielded an incredible string of timeless rock anthems, including "Plush," "Interstate Love Song," "Vasoline," and "Big Empty." Despite facing immense internal turbulence and battles with addiction that frequently disrupted their trajectory, the band's musical craftsmanship remained undeniable. Today, STP stands as one of the definitive pillars of 90s alternative rock, leaving behind a legacy of brilliant songwriting and a catalog that continues to influence modern rock musicians.
