This band brings back memories from school days when grunge was still a thing and bands like this were still tearing up the charts. They weren’t strictly grunge but they were there for and were considered part of the same era and had to compete a great deal in order to get noticed. Once they did however Stp made the charts on a pretty regular basis for a while. They were considered one of the hottest acts to come out of California in a long time, but unfortunately once they got rid of Scott Weiland their popularity kind of dwindled.

Liam Payne‘s most recent music video for his single, “Bedroom Floor,” is one to remember – and not just because of its catchy beat; the song’s video features Bella Thorne, who portrays a girl dealing with a flaky boyfriend.

Scott Weiland was a great shape-shifter, a reminder that theater and fashion contribute to the whole of rock music as much as anything purely musical does. He died Thursday night in the midst of his fourth decade as a rock front-man, starting with his proto–Stone Temple Pilots project, Mighty Joe Young, to his latest reinvention, leading the glam-rock troubadours the Wildabouts. With Stone Temple Pilots, he sold more than 14 million copies of five LPs between 1992 and 2001. Weiland spent the vast majority of that time in the throes of a deep heroin addiction — a mask he could never shake, and a disease that colors his biography as much as any performative persona. Heroin dragged Weiland in and out of court and through rehab several times, culminating in a brief 1999 prison sentence. After his parole and a brief Stp reunion, Weiland was reborn with a vengeance as...

Stone Temple Pilots and Chester Bennington amicably parted ways on Monday, but that didn't stop the band from taking the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live! later that night. Luckily, the group had already been set up with a new singer: Joss Stone.
"Joss Stone Temple Pilots," as the pair was pun-tastically billed, soared through a rendition of Stp's 1994 hit, "Interstate Love Song" as part of Kimmel's ongoing "Mash Up Monday" series. Stone's brassy, soulful vocals fit perfectly with Stone Temple Pilots' crunchy, post-grunge riffage, and a three-piece horn section...

The WWE Nxt brand continues to grow as they were announced as part of the Aftershock music festival in Sacramento, California on October 24 & 25. It’s a different kind of venue for WWE’s developmental system that is growing as an alternative WWE show.
The last time WWE Nxt was in Sacramento was during WrestleMania weekend when they drew an impressive crowd of 5,000 people for a Friday night show.
Its interesting to note that in the WWE.com release about the show, they didn’t mention current Nxt champion Kevin Owens. It’s very possible that Owens might only be on the WWE main roster by that point, so that’s why they failed to mention him even though he would be one of the biggest names if he was there.
The graphic they used features current Nxt Champion Sasha Banks, top diva Charlotte and one of the top male wrestlers Finn Balor.

Any film about superstar entertainer Glen Campbell would, by its very nature, tend to be extraordinary. But Glen Campbell: I'll Be Me, a film exploring the devastating effects of Alzheimer's disease, which affects some five million Americans over the age of 65, including the 78-year-old singer, could have been a much trickier proposition. By putting the project in the capable hands of producer James Keach (who also produced the Oscar-winning 2005 Johnny Cash biopic, Walk the Line), however, Campbell's family has ensured that the conversation about the debilitating disease will continue and will,...

Filmmaker Dario Argento and singer Iggy Pop have thrown their support behind a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for a movie adaptation of the terrifying, 19th century German depiction of the Sandman.
Not to be confused with author Neil Gaiman's celebrated comic book series of the same name, Argento's vision of the Sandman comes from author E.T.A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story Der Sandmann, in which the titular villain steals the eyes of sleep-deprived children and feeds them to his own children...on the moon.
