| Chester Bennington with Stone Temple Pilots, Aftershock, 2015 |
I think I put off posting my
SDP (Stone Temple Pilots) photos from Aftershock late last month, because I couldn't think of anything to say in a review, other than "they sounded like
Linkin Park singing
STP songs"--and that statement failed to do justice to the show, which was really good. Chester Bennington is an excellent, strong and present front man.
STP's music is great to hear. And implying that this was just a
Linkin Park cover of classic 80's-90's rock just didn't do the show justice. And so I procrastinated, published other
Aftershock photos and reviews, went on a trip to the UK, did other stuff.

Rumours of a split started circulating this weekend, and
Rolling Stone published a report yesterday, stating that Chester Bennington and STP were no longer together:
Chester to focus on Linkin Park.

As Aftershock was the last time STP and Chester performed together, we had the final chance to see them as a unit... even though it did sound very, very much like Linkin Park singing Stone Temple Pilots. And I seriously do not mean that in any negative way.

What next for STP? Will they invite
Scott back? He was here too recently, playing a much smaller venue,
Orangevale's Boardwalk, with the
Wildabouts. There would be a lot of long-time STP fans who would be "wild about" seeing the band reunited... as long as there is sobriety involved!
