Stone Temple Pilots - Army Ants ( Live 1994 )

[petrowskya]

Easily my favorite song of the mid-90s alt-rock genre. I loved STP back then, and this was the best they did. Never fails to get me pumped, and I have to listen 3 or 4 times in a row, even 17 years (dear God) later.

[SteveSparx]

holy shit

[srvfan42]

Holy hot DAMN this song rocks! Incredible solo!

[biddixjosh25]

Anything stone temple pilots



[dOLOSTIMULUS]

@biddixjosh25 pretty much...

[GuitarSkash]

double neck guitars are for pussies Xd , Dean rules

[custom55]

after watching this video.... Who says Pearl Jam is > than STP.... Don't think so.



[thehappyjac]

Don't apologize for the quality. It is AWESOME.

[teethgrinder07]

they NEED to release this on dvd

[90smusicfanatic]

This light show fucking rules!

[crimewriter95]

I'm 15 and I wish music like this came out today. I just missed this generation and it sucks so bad.

[godroxdahowse]

@crimewriter95 Hey crime, thanks for the props on that generations' music, don't worry bout missing it, start a new one!!! :)

[Nokiathrower]

@godroxdahowse Hope see this kid rocking out :D

[sweiland75]

Dean's solo=WIN

[ZMeyer003]

love STP been listening since i was in like 3rd grade.. Wish i'd be bale to see them in their prime like this

[BulletProofBacon]

wow "born of a broken man" by rage against the machine. .totall copy .. at least the second band copied who ever did it first

[LockeThomasStaley]

@BulletProofBacon

You are saying RATM copied STP, right? "Born of a broken man" is from 1999 and "Army ants" is from 1994!

[rptasnik]

I just realized this was the best song on the album. It hits you like BAM.

[yoch3]

All elements perfection - let's not forget the great drumming! Just totally delicious.

[it3659]

Great song from best album in the world!

[ROCKYMARCIANOXX0]

Understatement of the century but fuck me i miss music like this!

[IronRevolution]

Dean is such a great guitarrist. The intro is fantastic. That's an amazing performance, and STP is a awesome band!!

[tirtytreeandaturdtoo]

RoXoN . . . xBx

[FGVillar]

This is from my favourite STP Album, Purple

[jonigrau]

what`s dean playing before the song?

[theoneguy19]

@jonigrau almost sounds like Creed - Torn

[jonigrau]

@theoneguy19 this performance is from 1994 and "Torn" is from 1997

[stpunderground]

@theoneguy19 army ants came out 3 years before torn did

[420Guitar420]

@theoneguy19 That intro isn't actually part of the song. 

[smokestorm88]

@420Guitar420 the intro sounds alot lote rage against the machine in one of their songs

[me69776]

quality

[ericmeloman85]

Man, Deans intro is amazing!!! hes an underated guitarist. Whats the name of this concert? i forgot the name and is there any more footge of this concert?

[downrodeo2112]

Listen to Born A Broken Man by rage against the machine, they have the same exact intro

[TheFreshness11]

Dean Deleo hands down best guitarist to come out of the grunge era and possibly even the last 40 years.

[bestofthebox]

dean is one of the most underrated live guitar players of all times

[420Guitar420]

@bestofthebox So is his brother on bass.

[erwinbob1]

@bestofthebox i struggled trying to learn all the odd cords in plush

[mtillusion]

oh fuck i live in weymouth mass, just 20 miles or so from worcester. i can gaurentee this was done for waaf's real rock tv, and i want this damn show! i love stp, especially from this era. im gonna call them up right now. 1 617 931 1073

[ericmeloman86]

what concert is this?

[golden280]

amaaaaazing intro by dean

[karp1941]

@golden280  like the rain song a little ???

[MegaJimmyBond]

One of my fav STP solo's..the way it kicks in after the bridge....gets me every time

[3Vils0nic]

oh yea, same with me!! every time !

[MegaJimmyBond]

...and ya know the slight pause, except for the drum, JUST before the second chorus?? Excellent!!!

[2683hollywood]

It's Worcester, Mass. in 1994. They did a huge production video taping it, but never released the entire show, just some performances for "Thank You". Westwood One did a radio show of this performance though, came out in '95.

[thelawya]

they need to drop the whole concert... even though I own Thank You

[davestheman83]

sweet.

[irotinmyskin]

it cant get any better than this... loud as hell!

[jpote77]

I think this was phoenix. AZ state fair

[mrtall1994]

the beggining reminds me of zeppelin...because of the stage lights on the guitarist...anyone agree?

[twasbrillig33]

yah, agreed, but it's fairly well known that zep was one of their major influences, you can hear this influence come through in quite strong in several of their songs

[kyle8769]

i agree...

[RedFieryAutomobile]

Damn Dean DeLeo had a Jimmy Page moment there. Thought he was about to bust in the old Kashmir riff.

[njsfilm]

If they would only release some of these early live recordings onto CD or as downloads! This is what rock'n'roll is about - as good as it gets!

[StayingSain]

Giant lava lamps, now that is a great time.

[moltenriches]

epic intro, i bet everyone went nuts when the drums kicked in

[deicide666311]

what the hell? i think i just had an organism... why isn't there music like this anymore? i think this was their best year for playing live! (the purple era) dean is just awesome

[tomviolencetheband]

1:15 - That's a stage you want to play in, Like WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!

[Channelsnature]

Excellent!

[TheFreshness11]

I don't think Dean has ever played a solo that wasn't perfect note for note

[smokestorm88]

it was in ur face

[edmaster85]

A fuckin' great song!

[CHAPOSAAA]

This song ROCKSSSSSSSSSS

[scottrock67]

Anyone know where this is from? I saw them in Mass on this tour and it was filmed but never saw the light of day :(

[hbktigre]

me acuerdo que en esa epoca habia en argentina una propaganda de una tarjeta de credito con la intro de la guitarra

[smickitysmack]

i love the intro...i always love playing this on guitar, i wish dean did more whimsical interludes because from what ive heard he does a great job of it

[metalfan8]

may i ask how you play the intro?

i tried to figure it out but couldn't do that very well...

[danisibaja]

good song, played when STP rocks really hard

[bartekw123]

from Thank You dvd 2/3

[peeriepixie]

fuckin big time i love it!

[lilanagui84]

me hace recordar la epoca del freeway con los patines y la gente dedicada al hobby jojo buenas epocas

[sussie87]

I love this fantastic band

STP FOREVER

[rewestr]

I LOVE this song but I've NEVER seen it live at 5 shows I've been to.I got 2 more this time around-tonight in Jersey and Aug. in Bethlehem-maybe I'll get lucky.Piece of pie is another rarely seen live.

[StoneTemplePilots24]

wow i seen both live and ive only seen them live once (wasnt born in the grunge era so i didnt get a chance till their amazing reinunion) it was amzing i think i was the only one in the crowd who knew the song wasnt over at that quite part before dean brakes out that solo

[sixthchauncey]

When they played Hershey in '97? I think, they played the slow intro piece of Army Ants. I screamed "YEEEEEEES!", me being the only fan screaming at the time, and then they broke into "Down". I like Down, but I didn't like that they toyed with my emotions! Still think they're great.

[StoneTemplePilots24]

down is a good song but not as good as their early stuff hahahah i was also suprised they played sin too

[slayar764]

Down wasn't even out yet in '97. Nice try.

[jageedsheedmaheed]

They played it live for a long time before they recorded it.

[sixthchauncey]

That's why I have the 97? Maybe it was the Rolling Rock Town Fair 2.0 in Latrobe, PA in 2001.

[eightfivenine]

This was always one of my favorite songs... It's rare to see it live, very nice

[KineticFrenetic]

Best STP song. Not their best live performance, but the track is amazing.

[StonePilot94]

Punk Like and Totally Kick Ass! Its too underated in my opinion. This Is My Third Favorite song by them besides Interstate Love Song and Creep.

[odinos9]

they will be back

[awaters18]

yep they scheduled a summer reunion tour. they really are back

[brokenimages]

they had such a sick ass drummer

[odinos9]

amazing,amazing

its good

[liuketto]

guitar solo kicks ass so much!!!!

[leroyspunkin]

Best song on this great album. Brutal and almost Punk-like.

[C0RPSEGR1NDER]

never relate stp to fucking punk music, EVER!

[agentblackacid]

You just don't fucking get it. Fashion victim...

[agentblackacid]

I know exactly what you mean especially the lyrics, ignore C0RPSEGR1NDER who probably went to the recent Sex Pistols shows sponsored by Sony Playstation and Guitar Hero 3 & danced to Anarchy In The UK

[CANDYBRITE]

pretty fuckin great

[jarris018]

A-M-A-Z-I-I-N-G!!!

~JEW

[TheGreatEatlon]

woooooohaaaaah !!! what a concert! how I wish I could have been there...

[dahmer99]

so awesome!!!!

[rgunzalez]

One of my favorite STP songs, definitely... This band was so underrated.

[PersonalJesus348]

they were actually popular.

[sleazyfellow]

yeah they were the shit back in the day, early 90s was a great time for rock music...now its nothing like this.

[agentblackacid]

Too right. It was a great time for real music... the current crop of plastic scares the crap out of me

[nytransguy]

gotta gotta gotta gotta find the the rea sons why, a woman ain't a man

[peeriepixie]

fuckin big time

[AIC69]

im surprised this isnt one of their bigger hits

[lesclaypool17]

that is an absolutely awesome video thanks soooo much.

[brendiitaa]

I'M IN LOVE WITHN SCOTT WEILAND, I HAVE TO WAIT SO MUCH TO HEAR HIM SING AGAIN IN MY COUNTRY!! FUCKK=( brendiitaa!
