Yeah, I always thought DeLeo used modded Marshall's. I have no idea what he usd, but his tone on Core is BADASS!! He played through a couple of Marshall full stacks when STP played on SNL back in the day. Remember when you could see bands like Living Colour, Skid Row, STP, Pearl Jam, and Faith No More on SNL? We go from that to Ashley Simpson. What sad, sad times we are living in for popular music.

STP's first three albums were so insanely good. I can't separate which one is best.

Tiny Music has some of my favourite stuff, I love Press Play, I wish that song went longer. So COOL!!:eek::D:cool:

That was the first song I heard from them back in the day that got me into them, I was somewhat disappointed after that....they seemed to soften up. Not that it was bad necessarily, just completely different vibe.

Everyone forgets that AIC had We Die Young in the top 5 on the metal charts in 90. AIC was first and foremost a metal band. Everyone needs to check out some of the early aquanet pics floating around the net, LOL. They were a grunge band due to the media. All the members hated the title and refused to accept it. They were a success before the grunge wave ever hit. STP and The Black Crowes, along with AIC, are in my favorite 90's bands. NIN and Tool probably round out my top 5.

I like all the early stuff by STP, some of the songs on Tiny Music are so good it hurts, like Adhesive

with all the sh*t that STP took when they came out, who'd have thought they'd get so much respect 14 years later?

...well, i guess i did 'cause they're one of my favorite bands. my first STP show is probably the best concert i've ever seen.

gibsons into:
boss chorus: one output to

demeter pre-amp (TG3?)
into vht poweramp
4x12 cabs (not sure which ones)

second output to
sib varidrive (rarely used)->vox ac30

rocktron intelliflex for effects

the key to his sound is to blend the 2 amp setups into one.. a bit more clean then they mix a bit more ac30...

Don't for get one of his studio mainstays-a slightly warmed over SOVTEK MIG-50. Seriously. He's also the guy who owned that black Les Paul Standard for over a year before he found out it had pull-pots for coil-tap.phase.:eek:
