Dead at 48, died in his sleep on his bus. What a shame he couldn't beat his demons.

Really sad! Too young but lifestyles often dictate your fate. Would have liked to see them in concert.

Jealous
While he was still in STP they played Hampton Casino Ballroom a few years back. Thought about going. He was fired from the band not long after.

Those older heroin laced songs by STP are classics...
Lot's of great music written while people were junkies..
just not sustainable..
My band has problems with the STP songs we play - the grooves are slow and dreamy..
Yet still feel uptempo... Hard to explain..

Indeed a sad day. Listening to my collection at work today.
Their sound in combination with the lyrics is so complex and layered (and as you pointed out, you have actually tried to play their music and it is hard to replicate). Amazing what they were able to sound like without the modern layering done in post production.
I can only imagine what kind of train wreck a lot of modern popular "bands" would be if they tried to do an unplugged performance.

Yep...and I think student tickets were like $10 or something. He played the entire show wearing nothing but an American flag
Slightly of tempo too. There are few that came out in the early 90s that I was into, they were top 3 if not 1st. AIC, early Pearl Jam, absolutely hated Nirvana but love the fighters of Foo!!
Nirvana gets all the praise as the most historic band from that era, Pearl Jam has the longevity, Sound Garden and Alice in Chains were obviously big bands as well in that sound.
I was very much a Deadhead and Phish fan first and foremost during that era (still the case 20 years later), but I appreciated the Seattle sound a lot. The two bands I listened to most from that genre were STP and The Screaming Trees.

F'ing love Nirvana... 
The guitar and bass player from STP are new Jerseys contribution to "Grunge"....
I've always had a place in my heart for "harder" rock. Before I was really into The Grateful Dead I was into Zep and Sabbath..
Loved ACDC(Bon Scott era).. Really loved the Sex Pistols, Ramones and fell hard for the Clash..
"Hair Bands" just made me sick.. And I lost faith in hard rock..
I heard "Even Flow" on the radio in like 91 and had a "I'm listening...?" moment..
Love that record... Led me to all kinds of music that I just didn't have access too in my circle of Deadhead friends..
STP was incredible.. That whole time of from 91 to 93 so much rockin' stuff was coming out..
Those bands have changed rock music..

Same. My favorite band currently to see live is Ghost of Jupiter. They are heavily influenced by Sabbath.

We used STP's very tasteful cover of Led Zep's Dancing Days in a ski video about five years ago from Brighton, UT:

Ha I was at that show but I remember it slightly different. Possibly because of the shrooms someone I might know ingested...
I also has the luxury of seeing Rage Against the Machine, Nirvana, and a few other big bands at the Wallace Civic Center in Fitchburg MA. If you are from the area you know this is a shit hole of a venue that holds about 2,000 people. It's amazing who they got to play there in the early 90s!

That’s a brutal condemnation of the sex, drugs, and Rock & Roll lifestyle from the ex-wife and kids.
I watched a replay of the last two interviews just before he died. He had very little animation. There, but not there. Not a happy camper, a sad addict.
