This band released five albums which sold a total of over 17 million copies worldwide. Stone Temple Pilots had fifteen singles among the top ten of the Billboard charts, including a total of six #1 songs and one # 1 album (Purple [1994] ). In 1994, the band won a Grammy for “Best Hard Rock Performance with Vocal” for the song Plush. This band was influenced by the music of the Doors, the Beatles and Led Zeppelin; in fact, Stone Temple Pilots made covers of some of the songs of these bands.

Today, Scott Weiland is the leader of Velvet Revolver, a group that he formed with former members of Guns N’ Roses. Robert and Dean DeLeo formed a band called Army of Anyone.
