Stone Temple Pilots (Late 1980s-1997)

Main article: Stone Temple Pilots

In 1986 Weiland met bassist Robert DeLeo at a Black Flag concert, and shortly thereafter formed the band Mighty Joe Young with DeLeo's brother Dean on guitar and Eric Kretz on drums and recorded a demo tape in 1990. The band changed its name to Stone Temple Pilots when it was discovered shortly after signing with Atlantic Records that "Mighty Joe Young" was already taken.

Weiland wrote the band's lyrics and performed vocals. In 1992, they released their first album, Core, and their first hit, "Sex Type Thing" led to them becoming one of the most influential bands of the grunge movement, the music genre that was spawned out of Seattle in the late eighties and became rock's central movement of Rock and Roll the early-mid 1990s. The band was widely accused of imitating bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Nirvana in an attempt to cash in on the scene's burgeoning popularity. Critics also pointed out that Weiland's vocal style at the time was very similar to that of Layne Staley's and Eddie Vedder's. Weiland has rejected such comparisons, however, he cites Jim Morrison^[3] and David Bowie as more influential on his vocal techniques and sound.

In 1994, Weiland and STP released their second record, Purple, which saw the development of a more distinctive identity for the band. While still a clear continuation of their previous techniques, the album featured a more 'classic rock' sound, and had a mixture of punk, bossa nova, and acoustic songs. The year prior, STP toured with the Butthole Surfers, and Weiland developed a heroin addiction, claiming Butthole Surfers singer Gibby Haynes introduced him to heroin. ^[4] Purple was the second CD released by the 1990s grunge band Stone Temple Pilots on June 7, 1994, by Atlantic Records. ...

12 Bar Blues

With Weiland's status in the band uncertain and unpredictable, STP went on hiatus. The other members of the band created the group Talk Show with lead singer Dave Coutts. Weiland, meanwhile, adopted an androgynous look and released a solo album in 1998 called 12 Bar Blues. Weiland wrote most of the songs on the album, and collaborated with several artists, notably Daniel Lanois, Sheryl Crow and Jeff Nolan. The album was a commercial failure but it managed to achieve some acclaim. It was also during this time that Weiland was caught in Manhattan buying heroin, ending his brief tour.

Back with STP (1999-2003)

His period in jail had apparently helped to wean him from his habit, and once released, he rejoined Stone Temple Pilots. In 1999, the band released No. 4.

In late 2001, Weiland was arrested on domestic violence charges in Las Vegas, apparently for shoving Forsberg. However, the charges were eventually deferred upon the couple agreeing to counseling. Soon after, Forsberg filed for divorce but the couple eventually reconciled. Weiland's career also took a hit, with an altercation between Weiland and Dean DeLeo on the final gig of STP's Shangri-La Dee Da tour, leading to the band's official demise with much of the speculation surrounding Weiland's inability to balance personal issues.
