Interstate Love Song is possibly my favorite song from the 90’s. You can’t deny a song that gives you the same feeling after all of these years as the day you first heard it
I agree, but Geddy Lee is on a whole different level. That doesn't take away from the feelings and memories the songs create though. There's a lot of emotion attached to music... and that's an understatement.
Stone Temple Pilots, one of the most talented, successful yet underappreciated bands of the 1990s. STP is still not in the Rock & Roll HOF, which has devolved into a pathetic joke.
Agree but at the same time, fuck that rock hall. So many great bands are ignored. It’s a badge of honor to not be in. Why have that bogus institution make money off of great bands?
@@stevehope6283 Steve, I used have a mental list of bands that deserved to be in the rock hall, but in recent years most have been elected (likely due to running out of artists; more and more artists are from the Country and Rap/Hip-Hop genres). But I think STP is near the top of that neglected- and definitely underappreciated list.
What is great about this interview is that we got to explore the depth of Robert Deleo… something that has been missed or overshadowed by STP as a whole and Weiland as the frontman. I loved how Robert gave the others their due… who knew (not me) that Eric was a part of writing music more than just drums.
Yes, and we can all see Eric taking a Leadership Role--Naturally, as Drummer--with his Excellent and Very Confident sense of Time as he counts-off the start to the songs...
@@dxfifa You Have Every Right To Say That! 😂 😆 😂 Me being "Old And Broken", however, Well...I prefer simply to say: "Out of ALL of those 'Supposed And Alleged' 'Grudge Bands'--**I LOVE STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, BEST!!!" 😊 😁
I'm not a big fan, but of all the so called "grunge" music, they are 2nd to none. A lot of sound, especially with no keyboards. Very sorry about the lead singer, greatest voice ever.
The depth of musical knowledge, talent, and commitment isn't obvious in the glare of fame, but Rick knows it when he hears it, and shares it with us. Great stuff.
lovely. I really can’t understand the harsh criticism STP went through back in the day. to me they have never sound like a poor copy of Pearl Jam or anything like that to be honest
I agree. If Pearl Jam was Uber, STP would be Lyft. Maybe their greatest sin is to be first at really nailing the “grunge” sound as result of listening to soundgarden, Pearl Jam and the rest of the of the Seattle lineup. Still great freaking songs with their own unique flavor.
Agree, and iirc the critics focused on “Plush”, when that comment was made, yet when one listened to CORE, the depth and variety of STP was evident. Still one of the best debut albums imo
Honestly-always liked STP a lot; however, this interview in its entirety was the first full video I’ve ever watched of Rick’s and when it was over, I wanted more. I have a completely different way of looking at STP, their process, and the unique journey they took in creating some of the most memorable rock music of the time period. I had a friend in high school that was absolutely googly giddy over STP-I was like yeah, they’re good. Now I get it. Respect to this dude.
Have you checked out Rick's channel? There are TONS of interesting videos. He has a series of vids called "what makes this song great" where he breaks down songs and talks about production details--Interstate Love Song is one of them and its great. Alot of interviews and other content as well.
The song vasoline came from the blinker on Roberts old car ... The repetitive tiktik tiktik tiktik inspired him with the songs riff. Just pure genius !!
I love the he style of interviews Rick does. It gets to the matters I’m interested in the most which is the music and the inspiration behind it. Ricky plays the song and the interviewer is instantly taken back to the time the song was made and how it was made. This was one of my favorites. Always look forward to these
I remember when they hit the scene people were stating they were ripping off Pearl Jam or a Pearl Jam clone band. Just because the vocals from the song Plush reminded people of Eddie Vedder. STP is so much more than than that one song. They are on top with all the greats of that era.
Bravo. One of Ricks BEST interviews. Robert was so forthcoming and open about everything i learned a TON about his writing and influence on the band. This was brilliant to watch and I cant wait for more...
Saw them in 2000... metal heads ,hippies, rastas, nu metalers, punks... all singing along together to Interstate Love Song.... good times man. RIP Scott, you are missed!
After almost thirty years hearing this song and seeing it live multiple times, it still hits me in a way that is special. One of the greatest rock songs ever written.
Excellent interview, Rick! Robert was insightful and a very smart dude. His musical library is quite good, and it shows up in one of the best alt-rock bands of the 90’s. If I could take a Time Machine back to my Hs days to sit and jam out STP with my buddies, price would be no object.
Absolutely one of my all-time favorite bands of all time. As a Dominican, this is who got me into progressive Rock music. I still can't come across another band as well rounded as them.

This guy is one of the most brilliant guitarists of that era.
Agreed - and he's the STP bassist; his brother, Dean is the talented guitar player in the band!
@@realitybytes2724They both are
Fully agreed pal
And here I thought all these years he was just that tall bass player.
Interstate Love Song is possibly my favorite song from the 90’s. You can’t deny a song that gives you the same feeling after all of these years as the day you first heard it
Nirvanas “lounge act” does it for me if we’re talking 90s
Interstate love song is my favorite tune of the 90s brings back so many memories of being a child driving with my parents
Right on!!!:)
One of the best rock bassists ever.
Huge Pearl Jam fan, but I prefer Rob over Jeff Ament...
I love Jeff, too. But Rob is the superior bassist. I agree. I think he's one of the best rock bass players.
I agree, but Geddy Lee is on a whole different level. That doesn't take away from the feelings and memories the songs create though. There's a lot of emotion attached to music... and that's an understatement.
Rick, this was just an awesome interview. Also, looking now for someone to put out an actual Bossa Nova style cover of Interstate.
i’d rather STP release one
@@acousticsound7 they’ve done plenty of music with different people singing
@Scott Page USMC Scotts know.
Would be very cool
Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox would do this proper.
So many good tracks on Purple. Interstate and Big Empty def come to mind.
Still remains
Purple is their Best album, according to me
@@Rocko76 good enough validation for me lol
Purple is their best album. Loved every song on it.
Still Remains and Pretty Penny
Who would say that Brazilian music inspired them to write Interstate Love Song? That's surprising!
Tem uma bossa nova nesse disco por completa
Even used part of Jim Croce s song I think I got a name
And now I want to hear the bossa nova version of the song.
Stone Temple Pilots, one of the most talented, successful yet underappreciated bands of the 1990s. STP is still not in the Rock & Roll HOF, which has devolved into a pathetic joke.

Definitely appreciated. At least by me. R&R Hall of Fame? maybe but I'm sure there's others not on it that deserves to be before STP and I love STP.

R&RHoF doesn’t matter anyway. The impact on people’s lives and memories does
@@Junebug787 If i had finished that thought I would have said that the rock hall is a complete joke, along with their voting process.
STP's songwriting talents really flew under the radar, the brothers bond translated in their amazing compositions
Purple is in my DNA as a fundamental rock record of my
Youth. Thank you
That is one of the best 2 1/2 minute songs ever written. Period.
Amen.
Listen to it everyday
Its just over 3 minutes.
@@hegemonycricket2182
OK, OK, 3min40seconds.. 😂❤
@@ericmhaller7655 That's not even close to what you said!
ONE of my FAVE SONGS EVER.....❤
One of my favorite bands. The DeLeo's really are incredible musicians

Xactly... opened up the band man and my understanding of how this awesome music came to be for us all to love for so many years now... Just awesome.
Deleo’s walking bass lines are second to none in my opinion.
Yes, and we can all see Eric taking a Leadership Role--Naturally, as Drummer--with his Excellent and Very Confident sense of Time as he counts-off the start to the songs...
Pearl Jam are not a great band, nor are Nirvana. STP is a great band

João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Toquinho...the brazilian music legacy.
Brasil não é pra amadores
Probably my favorite STP tune 👍
@@deadshot4245 I'll have to give it a shot (on guitar -- I've already done the vocals at karaoke night!)
Oh yeah..it’s an all-time rock n roll classic!
Definitely mine! 🤘👍😎
Same
One of the greatest 3 minute tracks ever written
I've always said STPs music was way more than people gave it credit for.
Facts 😊
Lightning in a bottle.

This is truly one of the best things on the internet. What an amazing talent he is. What an incredible interviewer you are Rick. Thank you.
The whole interview is pretty long, but worth the watch if you're a fan..
@@acousticsound7 yeah, that's a bit much...
@My Music and Video Channel He wrote "One of the best." I guess it has just become fashionable to be negative on social media.
@Salvador Dolly Parton NO it sure is not. Rick Beatos interviews are "Some" of the best things on this platform.
Robert would write all those cool guitar chords and show them to Dean.
“Adhesive”
One of the greatest bands and songs EVER
One of my favorite bass players great tone killer note placement. Love sour girl..one of many great bass lines.
That whole album is great. STP have the tunes.
Great band that doesn’t get the recognition they deserve. Real honest rock.
...how i miss that band. Takes me back to my high-school years!
Same here. Sucks Scott is gone.
Robert is such a wonderful musician.
Top five song of the decade.
He's the coolest bass player to watch live! He gets smooth and funky.
You knocked it out of the park with those riffs.
Miracles happen when those DeLeo bros pick up those guitars...!!! They are LEGEND.
I absolutely love ‘Core’ and ‘purple’… Such amazing records
The Deleo brothers are the reason I loved STP.
I'm always amazed at how musicians come up with their tunes
One of the greatest Rock songs ever made
lovely. I really can’t understand the harsh criticism STP went through back in the day. to me they have never sound like a poor copy of Pearl Jam or anything like that to be honest

Same here, I never got it. I love both those bands, but they are entirely different. Maybe cuz STP became popular after PJ did?
Agree, and iirc the critics focused on “Plush”, when that comment was made, yet when one listened to CORE, the depth and variety of STP was evident. Still one of the best debut albums imo
To me, the "only" comparison they have with Pearl Jam was the "voice tone/depth" - but NOT even ENTIRELY the same . . . ☝🏽 ✅️ 🤷🏻
STP hands down
Such a gentle spirit

Heart stopper of a song. Stopped me right in my tracks one day.
My favorite bassist. Love his playing.
One of my favorite tunes ever
What an incredible musician, but it’s the gentle kindness of his soul that really shines through and magnifies his incredible light and talent.
Yes! That is such an excellent way to put it! Perfect sentiments
I can't wait to watch the entire interview! Robert is the man!
Totally love this song. The melody, the rhythm, the harmonies, all still give me chills to this day.
Best interview yet. What an incredible professional.
One of the best musicians of our time. So highly underrated.. great interview.
I seen them live at the daisy in Memphis a few years ago without Scott they still put on a incredible show lov that band
Super bad ass truckload of talent in this guys ability as a songwriter 🤘🏻
fascinating! I love hearing about where theese songs came from
The song vasoline came from the blinker on Roberts old car ... The repetitive tiktik tiktik tiktik inspired him with the songs riff. Just pure genius !!

Absolutely. STP, Nirvana, Pearl Jam- magical music times
Robert!! One of the best bass players to ever live.
That's awesome literally the best songs stone temple pilots ever made that and plush 💀👊😎😎🤟❤️
I had no idea just how incredibly talented Robert really is. Great interview.
The brothers Deleo.... awesome.
Long live stone temple pilot the best band of all ages my great great grand relatives will be listening to the stoners!!!!!!!
I remember when they hit the scene people were stating they were ripping off Pearl Jam or a Pearl Jam clone band. Just because the vocals from the song Plush reminded people of Eddie Vedder. STP is so much more than than that one song. They are on top with all the greats of that era.
Truly one of your best interviews, Rick.

100%💪
I’ve been telling all my buds who love music to watch this I view.
Saw them in 2000... metal heads ,hippies, rastas, nu metalers, punks... all singing along together to Interstate Love Song.... good times man. RIP Scott, you are missed!
Robert DeLeo was my inspiration on bass. Always loved his playstyle.
Thank you for the great music... 🫡
I'm just amazed at how easy he is to talk to. Nice to see talented people not letting ego get in the way.
So cool! I love STP.❤❤❤
This was such a cool interview. I thoroughly enjoyed it
I want to hear that original version of the song!
Loved this song from the moment it was released.
Rob is a talent, killer bass grooves, can write excellent songs, and backup harmonies… love STP
Purple was an incredible album
My favorite song.
After almost thirty years hearing this song and seeing it live multiple times, it still hits me in a way that is special. One of the greatest rock songs ever written.
My favorite band, so glad I got to see them a few times before Scott was out again and passed away. Can't wait to watch this whole interview
I can’t tell you how much that song means to me. The memories of people, places, smells, and things is overwhelming when I hear it.
agreed whenever i hear it i go back in time
@@aidencareyy right? Sometimes I can barely listen to it because of that.
It’s something magical. Makes me strongly nostalgic for nothing in particular since I only just discovered it last year
Robert Deleo totally UNDERRATED BASSPLAYER AND COMPOSER
what a beautiful man...his music is amazing
Excellent interview and loop. Rick is the gold standard for musical deep dives.
One of my top favorite from the 90's. Brings so many memories from back then. I was 19 when it came out. I still get goose bumps when I hear it.
I've always loved the way it sounded on an acoustic guitar when I first learned it! I love the fact that it was inspired by Bossa Nova!
We need a nylon string cover of this song
Absolutely
You never see much from this guy. Awesome!
It’s unreal how many time I’ve watched this. What an amazing artist and he seems like such a great person as well. Down to earth and humble.
One of my favourite musicians
One of my favorite songs of all time!
STPs brothers on guitar and bass are criminally underrated . They are very versatile and they’re amazing musicians
Love this kind of content and behind the scenes. Keep it up
I always forget how good STP is. I'm gonna go listen to some now
Dude is brilliant
The bestt song ever ❤

So fuckin talented, just a born to be musician
That song is amazing. Melody whole thing. Just money
I have a lot of respect for rob deleo as a master guitarist now. Incredible musician.
Genius.
Absolutely one of my all-time favorite bands of all time. As a Dominican, this is who got me into progressive Rock music. I still can't come across another band as well rounded as them.
STP is Gold!!!
Great band! Great music, timeless!
Beautifully creative synapses.
I love Stone Temple Pilots.❤
This is song is one of the best of the era. Understated... interstated!
I love these back stories to amazing creations of songs !
que lindo toca la guitarra muy elegante en sus notas
