A Quote by Chris Cornell

Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, and Silverchair are taking the simplest elements of Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam and melding them into one homogenous thing.

And if I'm honest about it, I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is like '92, right in the throes of Soundgarden and Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I think I probably wanted to be Kurt Cobain.

St. Vincent

The coolest thing for me to do was listen to Pearl Jam's 'Ten,' Nirvana's 'Nevermind,' or Soundgarden and play along to it and think about how awesome it would be to be in one of those bands and be up on stage. When I'd close my eyes at 13 and dream of being in Pearl Jam or one of those bands, it was exactly like how it is now with the band I'm in.

Coy Bowles

There's a lot of spirituality and hope in our music that I think people are catching on to. It's not punk, it's not Green Day, not Offspring, not Soundgarden, not Stone Temple Pilots, not all of the other bands that are coming out.

Ed Kowalczyk

I was on the pro-Nirvana, anti-Pearl Jam bandwagon.

Scott Weiland

I began both auditioning with Pearl Jam and recording for Eleven. In the fall of 1994, I joined Pearl Jam.

Jack Irons

Hang in there. If you believe what you're doing is unique. Otherwise give up or sound like Nirvana or Pearl Jam.

Joey Ramone

When 5150 came out rock was king. Post Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1996 is a different story.

Gary Cherone

I think the singer in Pearl Jam should eat some Pearl Jam! He cannot sing to save his life! And the guitar player needs to seek help.

Yngwie Malmsteen

It's not like I decided to continue the Stone Temple Pilots.

Jeff Gutt

Live are a really good band. I like Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead I love. Even Oasis.

Nuno Bettencourt

It's how you define yourself. It's not Nirvana or Pearl Jam: it's, 'Do you watch 'Portlandia' or 'Amy Schumer'?' It relates to a specific sense of humor. And, 'Do you know the hidden gems?' Like, if you knew the Pixies in the '80s.

Jonathan Krisel

One thing about Foster the People is that it's taking pieces of a lot of different genres of music and kind of melding them together.

Mark Foster

It's got big riffs and really it's a rock and roll album. I think Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver fans will relate to that

Scott Weiland

People wonder if the Pearl Jam audience will get into The Buzzcocks. Eddie Vedder is a big Buzzcocks fan. He used to come to see Buzzcocks before he was in Pearl Jam. If his fans like what he likes, I guess that they might like The Buzzcocks.

Steve Diggle

I've been trying my whole life to get to this point, and it's finally here. It's an amazing record, and it happens to be with Stone Temple Pilots. I mean, what could be better than that?

Jeff Gutt

Sure I've done some runs and even toured some amazing places around the world, but this is Stone Temple Pilots!
