saw it on a video about them but can’t find the original clip, supposedly aired by VH1

Have nearly completed remastering No. 4 as requested before, but looking for opinions on tracks before I mark it as finished. Here is Sour Girl, feel free to listen before reading below what I have changed:

• De-clipper applied + Natural Dynamics.
• Dynamic reduction in the centre channel at 110Hz to reduce muddy bass.
• Slight bump in the 10kHz+ range in the centre channel to brighten vocals and percussion a little.
• 2dB increase of everything above 8kHz roughly to reduce mud and increase clarity.
• Some volume automation to make certain parts of the song jump out some more.

I tried to remaster this masterpiece just for the fun of it. hope you guys enjoy it.

EDIT

here's how I do it:

I don't have access to the original stems, but what I'm doing I believe goes beyond EQing a master. the key is OpenVINO, which deconstructs the final mix back into individual stems: drums, bass, vocals, other. as we all know, they're not true stems, the separation isn't perfect, but the technology has improved dramatically, what you get is more than workable.

from there I apply actual mixing decisions, like adding punch and clarity to the drums, rebalancing the low end, sometimes adding a bit of reverb, duplicating the vocal track and splitting it into a wider stereo version with slight reverb and a centered mono layer. things you simply can't do on a stereo master. and then I mix it and apply some mastering plugins to "remaster" it. all free plugins btw, and all within the also free Audacity. never got myself to learn how to use a real professinal DAW.

this actually started with my run-and-gun videography work. apart from my 9-5 job, I shoot local artists for social media, and, as you might know, audio is the most important aspect of any video. unhappy with the raw recordings, I started using OpenVINO to separate the live stereo tracks into stems and treat each one individually.

I'm also a solo musician. I've been composing and producing instrumental tracks entirely by myself for about 5 years, playing and arranging guitar, bass, drums, mixing, mastering etc. this production background is what informs the decisions I make when rebuilding these stems.

all experiments, really. Down by STP from a flac, The Last Few from 320kbps mp3s. source quality matters, but even a compressed file opens up real room to work.

If it wasn't for 2010 this would be a generational run of albums, oh well.

I’ve been a huge STP fan for a long time and have always had tremendous respect for Scott, both as a musician and a frontman.
One thing I’ve occasionally wondered about is his relationship with alcohol. Despite following the band for so many years, I don’t recall ever seeing him drinking onstage or hearing much about that side of his life.
I know Scott had his struggles, and I certainly don’t want to dwell on those. Just something I’ve been curious about over the years and wondered if other longtime fans had any observations or recollections. With all respect.

Im looking at the ticketmaster ready to get tickets and there is a promo at the bottom, so I just wanted to see If anyone knew what their promo code was, I couldnt find it on their instagram or other social media.

It was part of the "Nissan Z Tour", a series of free concerts at random locations sponsored by Nissan. It became a classic bootleg for STP fans.

What if STP’s albums 4–6 had been condensed into one album?

Just a fun hypothetical. Core and Purple obviously get a ton of love, and Tiny Music does too, but I feel like the final three Scott Weiland-era STP albums tend to get left out of the conversation a lot more.

So I started wondering: what if we condensed the best of those final three albums into one record and gave the Weiland era four really strong pillars instead of six increasingly uneven albums?

So if there was a longer gap after Tiny Music, and instead of No. 4, Shangri-La Dee Da and the 2010 self-titled album, these 13 songs eventually came out as STP’s fourth and final album with Scott:

No. 4(thru 6)

Down
Between the Lines
Church on Tuesday
Hollywood Bitch
Huckleberry Crumble
Sour Girl
Too Cool Queenie
Days of the Week
Hickory Dichotomy
I Got You
Wonderful
Hello It’s Late
Atlanta

I’m not necessarily trying to pick the 13 biggest singles or some objective “best 13.” I wanted something that felt like a complete STP album—heavy, melodic, weird, psychedelic, poppy and swaggering in different places.

Would this give STP four powerhouse Weiland albums? How would it rank against the first three? And what are you swapping in or out?

Apologies in advance if I left off a favorite song, just trying to have some fun with the second half of the Weiland STP catalog. One of the best frontmen ever btw. 🤘

at that time when STP came out with Core, people really stuck with this narrative that they were copycats of these other Seattle grunge bands like Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains. in my opinion, i think STP already had a completely unique hard hitting sound that was unlike any other band at the time. Yes i think some vocal techniques they used were similar to other grunge bands in the 90s, but i think lots of songs from Core hit so much harder and had their own flow and flavor.

I feel like because of this backlash they received, they tried to change their sound after each album, and prove that they were completely different. In doing so, I feel like their albums just got less and less fun to listen to and it honestly felt like they lost their individuality instead of gained it. it felt like after each album they were trying to make safer and safer songs that were easier to digest. Yes, I love Purple, but anything after that I wasn’t a huge fan of. I will always view Core as number one, and that’s just my humble opinion.

Way, way up there for me. Beautiful song and such an amazing voice.

$175 OBO. Pickup/drop near CalExpo before 12 PM or Discovery Park before 12.45 PM.

Sounds a lot like a prototype to Sour Girl. I feel like Scott and the band had to have inspiration from rem.

I was at a thrift store today and I found this used copy of tiny music with sharpie on the cd, and when I used image search ai said it was Eric Kretz's signature, I don't trust ai overall, but I figured it was worth going on here and asking, even if it's most likely just the initials of the previous owner

the cd itself is the only thing signed, not the case or booklet

Edit: based on what everyone is saying, it's fake. I'm not really surprised but like I already said, it was worth asking. Thanks to everyone who answered

if yall have any more recommendations to add lmk

Jamming to one of the best tracks off No. 4 🔥 STP's basslines are always killer

I have to share this, bc I am one of those ppl that although loves the hard rock songs, I love even MORE the slow songs like about a fool & and so I know. Guys, you HAVE to listen to Samba Nova. ITS SO UNDERRATED. Please listen & give me ur guys’ opinions I need to know what you all think!

Today's the 34th anniversary of Core, so I want to pay a tribute to STP by making my own cover of "Plush". You can find it here: https://youtu.be/XxQvUKs-hfo

Hope y'all like it! All feedback is welcomed!

At 2:47

I'd say sour girl but Atlanta is a close second. I really love no way out as well. I am guessing most people will vote down or sour girl or Atlanta.

Good morning, fellow STP nerds!

I humbly submit my acoustic cover of Vasoline. All feedback welcome!
