Stone Temple Pilots interview London 1994

Stone Temple Pilots Scott Weiland and Eric Kretz interviewed in London, June 13th 1994 by Gary Crowley for his show "The Beat" The band were in the UK to promote their latest album Purple. There's a few odd edits in this interview, this is how it was broadcast, I have not edited anything out apart from the promo clip which was shown at the very end. This interview was broadcast around 2am, so few people ever recorded this show, I would set my VCR time and record the show in full and I kept around 50 of them. Recorded, by me, onto Fuji SHG VHS E180 at SP using a nicam hifi VCR

This era of the band is so good

[@allsystemsgo8678]

Band at their peak. Scott could actually speak coherently

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

He was obviously really high here... but I guess not as high as he would be in later years

[@vincevirtua]

I compare Scott here from Scott on the same show a year earlier before he was on heroin. He’s definitely less crisp here let’s say …

There are so few Purple era interviews on youtube.. thanks so much for this capture! Do you have any more Purple footage?

[@olivelime9493]

Wow thanks for this, I’ve never seen this one! I had no idea that they were on The Beat 3 times, I’ve only seen them on it once when core had just dropped

There's direct links to the two other "Beat" broadcasts at the end of this video.

ScottishTeeVee thank you!

[@guyfaux900]

You wouldn't think that was an important question but the Scot versus just going by Weiland thing really piqued my interest. Finally some resolution. Thank you for posting!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Thanks for watching and commenting on a few of my videos

[@chancewhitlock1327]

Thank u kind friend for the upload

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Very welcome

[@jimmylad7358]

Thanks so much for all these uploads. Footage like this is golden! I’m from the U.K. but don’t seem to remember The Beat, which is odd since I watched all the other 90’s music shows like The Word, TFI Friday, Hotel Babylon etc etc. I also have some of that stuff on VHS but it seems that most of what I do have is already on RUclips.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you enjoyed this Jimmy. Hang onto the tapes, there could be a few gems hidden in there, not everything on RUclips is complete or that good quality, so the tapes are worth hanging onto.

[@jimmylad7358]

ScottishTeeVee it sounds like you were using quality VHS tapes and stuff too though, the stuff you’ve uploaded looks and sounds great. Back then I was just a kid and I wasn’t really thinking of longevity unfortunately so was using cheap crappy tapes and recording everything on long play to fit more on! I’m gonna have to dig those tapes out though, I have lots of stuff recorded from MTV 93-98 on those tapes too. Most Wanted with Ray Cokes was a show I used to love back then 🤘🏻

[@MrWoowootila]

Scott looks completely different back then. Drug abuse really changes a persons look.

[@nunoparreira9825]

great stuff!

[@kelseymariel2127]

I loved STP at this time. Look at Kretz. He's just waiting for Scott. Always on the edge, but way better at that point..

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

I remember Dean saying in an interview that 1994 was the year they started to fall out with Scott. "The communication broke down", I believe he said.
So it's very interesting to see how Scott mentioned multiple times in the interview that there was a lot of tension in the studio and they don't get along, then Eric said "we get along most of the time"... I'm sure at the time no one paid attention to that contradiction, but now it's clear that he said that because Robert, Dean and Eric got along great with each other, but not with Scott.

[@MaureenPallenberg]

Scott is really high right here, but he's still coherent and somewhat engaged. Also, I'm digging the bar interview setup, anyone else?
The interviewer looks like Remus Lupin too. 😄

Thanks for watching and commenting

[@aliocha999]

great

[@ranmore30]

Thanks for this. How huge are Scott's hands?!?!?

[@olivelime9493]

Lewis Hughes I know they’re pretty big hahaha

[@echase416]

Nice to hear Eric talk, too.

[@echase416]

re: hands. Scott was not a small guy. [He was noted as ‘6 feet’ in the autopsy report.]
