Hope we will see an O’Brien interview someday.
I'm subbed to both channels Rick. A YT friend of mine (that I know in real life who's in the business) and myself done a music based stream and he beams about you and your contributions to the craft. Big thumbs up.
It’s really annoying to interview someone and keep interrupting them. Especially when it sounds like they’re going to say something important or insightful. What a mess.
Listen to Jim Croce's I Got A Name. The walkdown throughout and on the end is almost identical. Pretty cool.
Great video. StP one of my faves. I miss Scott and the band plays on my 200 watt acoustic speakers forever💪😎💪
Loved this band since they started - I had no idea how thoughtful and soft-spoken Robert DeLeo was outside of his rock star persona.
Unsure, hasn't Rick invited Robert on B/4?
@@R.Akerman-oz1tf this interview was done a year ago
Jeff Carlisi from 38 Special is as well. Great underrated guitar player, articulate, soft spoken. Love these insights.
Well, Robert was never known for being a rock 'n' roll wildman 😎
Then you clearly haven't loved this band since they started. Robert hasn't changed since the beginning of STP
As time passes, glad to see STP finally getting their flowers.
Robert DeLeo needs to be a regular guest. I can watch these two talk music endlessly.
Agreed
Yeah, this was really good.
I didn’t realize that Robert wrote these lead guitar parts. He’s such an outstanding musician. I just love the STP’s music!
Rhythm guitar parts.
@@dmitryowenshe's wrote the main riffs for a LOT of their songs. Including PLUSH CREEP VASOLINE WICKED GARDEN N MANY MORE
@BamaRockstar85
I'm very aware of that. I'm a guitarist (and also a drummer, bassist and singer), so I've read multiple interviews with him and his brother in Guitar World since the band first hit the scene.
@@dmitryowens Oh? I was under the impression they were a three piece - drums, bass, and lead guitar with Scott singing but not playing an instrument. Who’s the rhythm guitar player?
Interesting to hear him say Brendan wanted the record to sound live. I always thought it sounded heavily produced, but I’m not much of a musician so what do I know!
Robert is so talented it's borderline unfair. I absolutely love the fact that Rick can pinpoint Robert's influences at the drop of a hat. I was NOT expecting to learn that there was a straight line between Antonio Carlos Jobim and Interstate Love Song.
Rick is an extremely knowledgeable musician. His interviews always amazes me how well he can pull out the influences seemingly with ease.
Me either
(Plays Bossa nylon version) My head explodes. I'll never hear it the same way again. Brilliant.
Right there with you
If it was an acoustic song, it would've been a massive hit too! Sounds absolutely gorgeous.
I love Robert's songwriting. The perfect balance of melody, simplicity and complexity.
i would listen Robert talk about music all day.
💯
yeah me too. wish rick thought the same and wouldn't interrupt him all the time
@fdsa8496 this is edited, that's why it sounds like that.
@@DrCheeksI thought the same thing
Interstate Love Song makes STP a top 20 all time rock band. I was so lucky to see them in concert. Such a great show. Scott was so charismatic. I treasure that as one of my memories.
Interstate is the summer song of our youth in the 90's.
It undoubtedly is and always will be. It will always belong to us.
Song of 1994!
Purple was the first CD I ever bought with my own money (I was 13) and to this day, remains a favorite
When I hear this song it just makes me feel happy. It reminds me of summer for sure. I wish I would have appreciated it more at the time.
30 years later I'm still deeply in love with this song. Thank you, STP!
That man is bad as fuck on the bass and has inspired my bass playing for about 16 years now. And he's such a skilled songwriter too! Much respect.
Right
STP. My favorite band. I've seen the full interview, but every now and then, I watch 'em again.
I love Robert and Deans chord and genre knowledge! To write Bossanova, Jazz, or even ragtime chords and make them grunge was unlike anything we ever had in the 90s.
Interstate Love Song is my favorite song of the grunge era, which is saying something as there were very many brilliant songs. I liked the whole album and listen to it to this day.
Was thinking the same thing. This is probably my fav song from the era. It always sounds fresh. No matter how many times I've heard it.
Same. I listen to this every single day
The song automatically sets me back to a specific memory, it had that type of an effect on me. It’s a time capsule.
I love listening to creators wax nostalgic about songs that were so big in my life when they released.
One of the most underrated bass players!
Robert was always my favorite element of STP- his writing and bass style really was such a huge part of what made that band magic
"Interstate Love Song", has that Jim Croci "I Got a Name" feel to it.
Would love to hear STP do a cover of The Guess Who's "Undone".
Totally! I hear that bass line.
I love She’s come undone. I can actually hear it too.
Stone Temple Pilots' 'Interstate Love Song'
That guitar riff and bass melody, borrowed from the instrumental refrain in singer/songwriter Jim Croce's 1973 hit “I Got a Name
@@shmucklerYou are absolutely correct. And Croce was given zero credit for the rip or copy of that riff. I mean come on ‘Movin me Down the “Highway,” & “Interstate” Love Song.’
Clearly evident.
It’s very much “I Got A Name”
Definitely one of the awesome 90s songs of my youth, used to knock the wind out of me when I heard it on the radio as an 8 or 10 year old. Still does. RIP Scott 🙏
This has been a favorite song since I first heard it ~30 years ago!
He is a brilliant songwriter and musician!! STP will always be one of the greatest bands of all time!!
For me, Robert is the best bassist of grunge, he's a very talented and complete musician, and his vocals supporting Scott are beautiful. 🤟
My alltime fav song by STP. Was lucky enough to see them in NY with Scott on the '08 reunion tour
Man, I love Roberts bass lines in STP. Such an underrated bassist. Interstate is in the list of my all time fav songs.
The best music to come out of any decade is the music that's timeless, and this song might be the best one to come out of the 90's.
agreed
One of them for sure. I play it pretty regularly and it still hits. Definitely has some legs on it. Same thing with Big Empty, Plush, Still Remains, etc. I prefer Purple to Core, must be the youthful memories.
That acoustic into always makes me glad! Time to CRANK IT!!
(the riff reminds me of the riff from "I Got A Name " by Jim Croce. )
that's because the riff is from "I Got A Name" lol
One of the most special moments ever captured in rock music. Thank you, Rick Beato!
THIS is what fans need to see and hear from these incredibly talented musicians! Robert's honest, soft-spoken personality just makes me love the music more. I've always loved this band but these insights into the songs and the man behind so much of them is fascinating!
I love that Robert can play the guitar part perfectly even though he's the bassist.
dudes fn brilliant! what a band and Scott was an true artist and performer in every sense . had many good days listening to STP inmy youth and still do
That's what I love about STP, their music is so well structured, you immediately unconciously know they are extremely talented and educated musicians. It is not just make music sound rock, is rock with a lot of knowledge behind it.
By far my favorite STP song....the melody, the changes, the bridge particularly just pierces my heart! Sublime, sad, melancholic.
What a talented musician and composer. Seems like a mellow, thoughtful down to earth dude. Always was a fan of him and STP, even moreso after viewing this entire interview. RIP Scott
Interstate love song is my favorite song off all time…
The lyrics, make sense when he talks about “southern train” it makes sense they recorded it at “southern tracks”. Not sure if it’s similar but I’d like to think it relates.
The Jamerson of the grunge era. Just a sublime taste for melody, chord voicings, playing in the pocket, tone, musicianship, etc. Robert belongs in the conversation of all time great rock bassists.
So bluesy yet so hip at the time. Robert is a talent for sure. One of my favourite songs. Rest In Power Scott.
Whos scott?
@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww Scott Weiland
Could listen to someone play acoustic guitar like that all day.
@@trteeerryfse-wy2wwScott Weiland was the lead singer of STP
Not only a great player & songwriter, Robert had a huge style thing that added to the STP vibe.... great great band from that scene
I love that the base player has always came up with the most popular guitar riffs of all of STP songs
No other host can get deep and nerdy with musical guests. I know nothing about making music, so these conversations really demystify why I like music.
Very talented musician and awesome person!
The powerhouse behind STP!
This is awesome! I had no idea this started as a Bossa. Makes sense!
Every time I think I can do without this Rick Beato video, he proves me wrong
what a tune. I played this on endless loop back when it was released.
Whistling while playing the guitar...awesome Robert ♥️♥️ as old as that song is I still love it(2024) & it doesn't get old..RIP Scott W...🙏♥️💯
rocks most under recognized bass player/ song writer. he is a legend now. some of the most amazing songs of 90s came from stp
what a well spoken modest man...and what a talent
This interview is probably my favorite out of all the ones i've seen on the main channel.
Robert DeLeo is a highly under-rated musician. Scott Weiland was very talented and his vocals were amazing and his death was very tragic but Robert was always the genius who made STP's music sound so great.
I know I take these geniuses for granted....love this channel and hearing all that goes into these timeless songs
It's always great to re-watch these clips. Robert is such a bad ass and a gentleman at the same time 🤘🏻✊🏻✌🏻
I love how well-spoken Robert is! Such an interesting man!
When I heard them on the first album when it came out I instantly knew they were going to be big. STP was and still is the best of the 90's bands.
i only like nirvana and STP. the rest of em can go.
What's in that pool water you are drinking?
my favorite bass line to play, by far. Legit perfection. Love smokin some weed, closing my eyes , going to narnia, and running through that jam. PERFECTION.
My favorite band of the 90's. Thank you Rick for such a great interview with a great artist.
One of my favorite songs and best songs ever written! That baseline is f’n amazing!
The deleo brothers is STP! I started playing guitar during their launch. Their guitar/bass was not like any other band at the time. It was so layered and beautiful with super unconventional chords. My heroes!!!
I saw STP perform this weekend and was blown away at how much they are still rocking. I was able to do a pre-show meet and greet with the band and they were the nicest, most genuinely down to earth guys. Robert was just like he is in this interview. Dean even tossed me his slide after using it on a big Empty!!!!
Rick, you are a luxury for music lovers. Your interviews, the way you make your guests "work" and the knowledge you share is a treasure for those of us who are interested in the creative process and the musical architecture of the great songs of popular music. I can't find better words to thank you for your work and, of course, the good vibes and cooperation of the artists you know how to get the best out of. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Love it! DeLeo and Beato in top form. This is fantastic and makes listening to STP even better. So musical.
Man I remember when this song 1st came out! It was fantastic ! Loved STP !👍🏾
Love this band. They are so underrated in terms of their songwriting. It totally makes sense given the chord voicings that this started out with a Latin feel. I actually have a RUclips cover of this on my channel from a good few years ago. It’s incredible the strange beginnings of some of these songs. The fact that Plush is almost influenced from ragtime is absolutely bonkers. Alongside Soundgarden I have to say that STP were one of the most diverse bands of that era of the early 90s.
One of my fav tunes of all times. No wonder I really fell into love with Brazilian jazz in 98’. Great changes! Best channel out there. Thank you Rick!
What a tremendous talent. This song always fascinated me as a young guitarist. The bossa nova voicings!! Rob DeLeo is an astounding guitarist.
And Jesus, wow, I never knew they recorded that album mostly all live in studio. And in 11 days. That's where inspiration and professionalism meet. It puts its sound in a new perspective.
What a fantastic song Robert, great chords. Miss Scott. A big fan. What a voice.
Interstate love song is a great song. Not a huge STP fan but have huge respect for them as musicians and performers.
So glad I saw these guys live. Amazing show, amazing music. Core is so under appreciated for how hard and energetic it is.
Robert may not realize it but the hook riff from ILS is the same as the bass sub-hook riff from Jim Croce's "I Got a Name." That's the first thing I thought when I heard this song. LOVE IT.
Love that song for so long. When this song starts, everything else stops.
This band is amazing and should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...He is an underrated musician in MHO...
To see the insights of the original author of this amazing song is.....awesome. To take a 80's quote.
I love the direction Rick is taking RUclips for all of us
One of my favorite songs to drum along to
Gentle man with friendly eyes! Great interview. Saw STP in Hamburg and was really very impressed.
Damn... STP. Still love their music 30 years later. Beautiful stuff.
I was jamming out to this today. Love that song.
DeLeo is as in awe of his own music as he would be if anyone else played it because it is intriguing, quality music. He gives credit to these other musicians he absolutely admired. This is true humility.
Such an incredible conversation!
That was incredibly fascinating! As a bass player I was well aware of how talented and interesting Rob was, but his guitar playing caught me by surprise.
Don’t know why, but I watch this video at least once a month… Robert is a genious.
thank you for showing how one of my favorite STP songs evolved......
Still listen to em. My favorite of that era. Just a fortune of good songs, the Seattle groups had handfuls
Tiny Music makes so much more sense now. My absolute favorite album but now I know where so may of those chords and progressions came from. Awesome
Robert DeLeo is and always will be the heart and soul of STP!!!!!!
Never knew Robert wrote these songs but wow it makes so much sense 🔥🔥
Once again Rick show he is the King of musician interview,.....WOW
love this, thank you..interstate love song was likely the most difficult song I had to learn with the interesting chord change progressions. thank you for sharing
The riff at the 2:19 mark in the interview has great similarity to Jim Croce's " I got a Name" listen to Interstate and IGaN back to back and it will surprise you.
I love STP, and Robert is amazing...but I'm glad someone else mentioned this, because I've noticed that too...the hook riff is basically a note for note copy of Croces I Got a Name cadence
Ha! I just posted that too 😊
@@ericleiter6179 Led Zeppelin did it before Croce in "Traveling Riverside Blues."
@trashychannel8150 yeah but that wasn't released till 1990 but good catch
Saw The og STP in 2010, I was 18, and star struck as soon as they got on stage
Another terrific interview! Will listen to the full program.
My all time favorite song. I have it in my will that it will be played at my funeral. At some of the most trying times in my life, I would hear this song and know everything would be ok.
It’s amazing how 90s bands like Stp and Smashing pumpkins could crank out amazing albums! And recorded them in a short span. Hell of a lot of practice and nailing the sound down
So amazing to listen and watch, this is one of the best channels on YT, thank you Rick Beato
That's why STP is my favorite band from that era. They were far and away the most musical.
one of my favorite songs ever 🙏
I'm stunned. I had no idea. How phenomenal.
Core was my first CD and Purple is my favorite STP album
Totally agree. I put that album right up there with one of the best from the first song to kitchen wear and candy bars. It is a great listening experience. Of course my favorite song is Silvergun Superman.
Timeless song from an amazing music era.
