Stone Temple Pilots - Pretty Penny

[eddysvideos33]

It sucks that kids now will never have the same experience we had. Going to a record store and buying an album, rushing home to listen to it. The smell, being able to open the booklet ect... I miss the 90's!!!

[saraberry555]

Man WTF am I the only one who knows this is a remake? I'm pissed off I can't remember who did it right now, okay well I know I'm not alone even if most people on you tube are like that's the only way they know music is you tube, This is a remake and I want to hear the original...

[eddysvideos33]

@saraberry555 This is an original song from Stone Temple Pilots. Look it up on the... ummm.... oh yeah, internet!

[poolboyinla]

Great performance of one of their lesser known songs.

[onyachamp]

mtv used to play music. then they took an arrow in the knee

[TheWilliams104]

I'm a teenage girl growing up in this decade, and I love STP. You can't say all teenagers today don't have good taste in alternative rock and grunge/post-grunge.

[Rookh13]

Watching this makes you realize: once upon a time bands sounded GOOD live. Today's 'musicians' give live shows bad names. Thank GOD for the nice people who share videos like this one.

[XP76]

My all time favorite STP song!

[JEDI7ACEN]

I can imagine this is how they came up with this song. Chilling in the living room just kicking around tunes and lyrics.

Later that day out came this masterpiece.

[sweiland75]

@JEDI7ACEN Then they got the phone call about the death of a person associated with Penny.

[sarniarocks]

Going to see STP in 5 hours in Nashville! Sweeeet :)

[vfalcon79]

awesome...

[javius1220]

I was 17 when I graduated high school in 1990. I'm soooo glad that I was a part of this era. I'm 38 now and I owe it all to these guys and this genre of music to still be ripping on the guitar and still enjoying it

[tonecot89]

One of my favorite STP songs of all time, but seriously doesn't Robert Deleo look like a hit man for mafia?

[waynedelacruz]

There are 2 morons watching this video...

[tripjams]

this is the dopest stage setup ever

[danimal97520]

@tripjams yeah it is. Can just see it now. "dude I'm not going on stage....without my couch..." LOLOL

[cain412cole]

Which ever one of them wrote this song is A genius.

[Wakeupdream]

I´ve made a German song inspired by this one here.

[wellisaythat]

What a gem!!!!!! Nothing Better than This!!

[Mattrixxz]

You know....we always hear "saving the best for last"....the early to mid 90s owned absolutely some of the best music of all time....could it be that everything else to come out won't be able to hold a candle to this amazing, but brief, era? Time can only tell....

[muppetpaf]

look how young and healthy he looks, this is one of my favorite songs of all times

[rowdymax1]

A little known fact...DID U KNOW?....that the Di Leo brothers originally named the group STP for Shirley Temple's Pussy?..iiiiit's true!

[CobainInChains]

@rowdymax1 Stereo Temple Pirates!!

[Mattrixxz]

@rowdymax1 No it isnt. It was Stereo Temple Pirates.

[crowbain]

Stone Temple Pilots!!

[narazum0]

STP is my musical addiction at the moment. Always been a fan, but recently...it's good to see them returning to greater popularity.

[radolanko]

I love this song its great and unplugged version is awesome!

[GrizzlTooth]

Their drummer is a good bongoist

[benniespal1]

Perfect, Mr. Weiland... Guy changes his voice in each song, very gifted singer/songwriter.

[joeykurt75]

why seems that scott is crying while he is singing?

[rowdymax1]

@joeykurt75 probably cuz he knew the "Penny" whom this song is named after.

[tigz0]

I forgot how much I liked this song. 

[MartinoSalvatore]

STP in Lima Perú, October, God, I've been waiting my hole life for that moment

[kbk1061]

im 19 but spent my life growing up in the 90's, alice in chains, STP, Soundgarde..etc

[Stryder94]

@kbk1061 yeah. I'm 20, i grew up with nirvana and stone temple pilots in the 90's, gotta say my best years of my life, even tho it was my childhood

[kbk1061]

@Stryder94 my nephews name is stryder, yeah i had alot of pain in my childhood and i was an outkast so ive had multiple meanings to the songs as i came of age~ add me as a friend bro~ Later~

[aSafePlaceToHide]

Dean and Robert DeLeo rock. 

[mystompbox]

the memories that this song brings back to me...

TIMELESS! I'm sure rooting for them on this upcoming tour/album.

[girlbassist]

I remember watching this live, and taping it...and lol'ing when eric rubbed the bells on his ass.

[ComaAlpha]

Who is Robert Purano?

[phish1085]

you would never see something this chill on the mtv awards nowadays , they barely even care about rock anymore

[mrbill1000]

@phish1085 those are the times we live now, people gotta deal with it.. rock music stations still don't disappoint tho.

[przytrafka0000]

Just...very good song..

[irishmermaid4]

Love it

[benniespal1]

Video keeps stopping, oh well, good song.

[petesiegel1]

open tuning?

[2azulmcqueen]

Atlanta is so Doors... this is so Zep! Love STP!

[thelawya]

Wow, never seen this before... a rarity before things got ...

[thebigstripe]

che figata!!!! purple è il mio disco preferito

[Lenoki]

ахуенно!

[airsoftpup123]

3:28 eric kretz, drummer, itching his butt

[tholden84]

good song

[metalheadneji]

stp rules

[thelawya]

@metalheadneji like to see Robert

[KalimeroVFX]

When you wake in the morning, Gone

[thelawya]

@KalimeroVFX if you listen to the drums and lyrics for the beats in the chorus it gets pretty long and mixed... depending on whether you're counting quarters, eighths, or just feeling the "strongest" accents, you could say all kinds of 9/4, etc... or just keep it 3/4 throughout and it lines up...hehe...

[sw1ft88]

I miss Core & Purple...

[humpterthompson]

oh man this goes to my favs scott is the best and the whole band too i realy enjoy this can´t believe it

[JerseyThursday37]

still my favorite VMA moment of all time. what happened to MTV?

[aporia82]

killed by the music industry...

[smokestorm88]

pretty penny 3:01

[78232fred]

Kick axe.  I see them every time they come to town.

[Rosharna1]

Your so lucky that they "come to town" !! Im from Australia and have seen them once! at Rock on the Range in Ohio!!

[Lexolo999]

i love this song the weird thing is that it is in 3/4 time most rock songs are in flat four

[SynysterToken]

yea i noticed that too. i decided to pay more attention to the beat and noticed it was in 3/4 instead of 4/4, which gives the song its unique beat

[charlienyc1]

it's in 6/8, at least for the verses. the chorus / refrain is some combination of 7/8 and 9/8. wish i knew exactly - it's hard to find the downbeat.

[matsuyamati]

no, their later stuff sucks compared to this

[matsuyamati]

a great band with a great song (timeless one, actually)--what a time to be young. Feel sorry for kids in their prime now; the music sux

[laynestaley1990]

thats ok... im "in my prime" and i just listen to this stuff and try to bring it bak with my band.... all i can do lol

[nirvanafreak9999]

ya thats wat i do too

[obskuriteter]

@matsuyamati The music was great in the 90s - and it still is! (it's just you who've gotten too old to know where to look for it ;) )

[Oskarft]

@obskuriteter shhh man, then it must be buried 15 feet underground because before the 90's you could find it on cable tv. Now it lives online in the collective memories of posted pixelated videos.

[MexicanoINC]

@matsuyamati Not for long. You'll be seeing me in the next few years. Wouldn't it be nice if we had freaking guitar solos along with awesome lyrics again? I'll have to rescue my generation from power chord only guitar work and poser filled hip hop. Look out! Real music coming in!

[badron11]

@matsuyamati RIGHT ON

[cote44]

@matsuyamati yea if you only listen to whats on the radio

[pastchew]

@matsuyamati

i agree,i kinda feel bad for the generation after us...lol

bands like stp, alice in chains and soundgarden are the shit ,but most little punks dont even know who these bands are!!!!! and that is sad.

[danpats1]

@pastchew that's what the previous generation said too im sure...

[NnysVelvetRevolver]

@matsuyamati yea man ppl in my school fucking like kesha and all the shit put out there...im so happy my bro grew up in the 90's

[Ricardodelamuerte]

@matsuyamati

Right! we were fortunate to be teens in the 90's. music was definitely on an upswing.

[lancetop]

man does time fly. this was 15 years ago. Fabulous song by a fantabulous band.

[triangletheorytrey]

Great origina sound. I believe that STP is among the best in the industry.

[dullsvillain]

Whoa ......this may be my fave STP vid!

I'm seeing them with the (awesome ) Meat Puppets tomorrow..

I take back what I said about life....it's all too cool.

[momhitscar]

hey...saw them last night in Ct. Meat Puppets were amazing despite not seeming to be happy to be there. STP-spot on as always. Studio perfection in a live performance. Don't know how they do it...thankful they do

[dullsvillain]

Sweet . I'm so glad that STP (like Nirvana) is out to promote the good stuff. Yeah, they come off sulky sometimes which is adorable in a weird way " I took a long drink of some kind of water that ate up my feelings and dried up my conscience" :)

( See a 185 Puppet videos in a playlist at my channel )

[js30blackhawks2010]

What an awesome song. STP was so awesome at one time. It's too bad to see what heroin does to someone. The first two albums were unbelievable but after that it was hard to get into anything else because much of it didn't make any sense. STP is still one of my all-time favorites!

[HendrixPrinceFlea89]

this is some folk rock. cool.

[90sAddicted]

really great, strong performance - I love the living room atmosphere ;-)

[DergaDoodle]

i love how kretz scratches his ass with that bell thing

[drumfoomaster]

this is when mtv vmas was good. even then it was starting to fade a little. one of the best live performance that year.

[knatesaddiction]

Haha, never seen Scott perform live sitting down. He usually so lively.

[90srock]

what about unplugged he was sitting then.

[chayito80]

Excelente tema que buenos recuerdos me trae esta presentacion de mi secundaria

[smokestorm88]

how come scott just couldnt have stayed the same he fucked up his face and body with that stupid drug he likes soo much,i bet he would have looked the same way he does here but just older

[jaredballanger]

Amen

[sfvwillie777]

To anyone whos been addicted to anything knows that yes its a shame that he went down that road. But at least he's trying to battle his demons and I hope the best for him.

[sleepysis]

Do you know whats going on with him nowadays? Hope he's doing ok. Some poeple already thought he'd be the next one "to go" after Layne, but thankfully no.

[00tOOl00]

right... im a big fan of stone temle pilots, and that was a big problem for him since the beginning... but after all, he is scott weiland no matter how hes looking...and i hope he will live many years, maybe with his sickness or not...he will live forever...

[Rupenpatell]

the drummer reminds me of owen wilson

[thecolorben]

owen wilson????? nah man.

[si2thet]

Aero had a good point, Tiny Music and 4 had some really good songs on there. Definitely worth picking up.

[katnell01]

if scotts singing on it, i have it.. love him..always have, always will..

[DYERDRUM]

for some reason scott weiland looks like Corey Taylor.

[johndenver4life]

notice Eric Kretz scratches his butt near the end of the song

[johndenver4life]

i luv purple!

[ikarus1projekt]

I think that what templedown was trying to say is the fact that back in the day Scott looked "healthier" or more fuck it! I'll say it too... MORE HUMAN!..Scott is in love with himself! and along with his self-admiration he lost who he was in a way! He lost a lot of weight! and looks very plastic these days! he has had a lot of plastic work! I think, as with a lot of addicts, Scott has an addictive personality! In that he got addicted to Looking Hollywood!

You know "PERFECT!??".Nuff said!

[ELNASHITO]

Well played good sir, well played

[poolboyinla]

Great performance...Weiland had cool hair back then

[AeroTemplePilots]

Scott didn't screw up his voice, he just sounds tons lighter.

Like someone said in a different video, all you wannabe fans that don't give the later STP albums a chance can suck it.

[laynestaley1990]

tiney music was the last cd that was truley grat all the way through and even then it pained me to hear them loose the edge... its not that i hate the newer stuff its just that i like the other albums tons better .....

[Badfish228]

@AeroTemplePilots the reason he sounds a tons lighter is because he screwed up his voice with drugs lol

[frankycr]

Who was Robert Purano?

[PiCkUrGeaR]

"looked human" wtf is that? what do you look like? didnt know your musicians had to look a certain part.

[templedown]

a smidge fast,but awesome stuff. my favourite stp tune. scott looked human and he was probably indulging back then as well.

[deeplysarcastic]

love this song, I remember watching this on MTV, I became a big fan after this. Purple is my fav out of the five.

[poolboyinla]

Purple is my fav too

[Notawesomeatall7]

Probably my favorite Stone Temple Pilot song

[DeadYetFleshNbOne]

phoenominal

[conezy22]

stp went pop rock on the third album, damn shame

[SexTypeThing4]

D= have you even listened to it?

[conezy22]

yea, i listened to it, did you? cause if you did you would know that shit is pop rock compared to core and purple, or have you even listened to those albums?

[wooodaddy75]

this song was off the Purple Album, they weren't as heavy on their last three releases, but still great music

[JohntheVault]

also after core Scott weiland was pretty much killing himself in drugs ruining his voice from what it was when they were signed.

[subsamadhi]

are you talking about tiny music? That album was excellent. There are some really good rock tracks on there. Besides, this is on Purple. That's their second album as far as I know.

[conezy22]

i know pretty penny is on the purple album, i like the song, i'm saying after core and purple they went pop rock. there are a few good songs on later albums, and i know bands change and don't want to keep doing the same shit over and over again, but, after core and purple, imo, they went softer and their shit was not as good, i know u guys know their later shit is not in the same league as their early shit, own up to it.

[subsamadhi]

I was actually just referring to the fact that you said their third album was more pop than rock, which I disagree with. Tiny Music was a good mix of both, like their previous 2 albums were. I agree that their music after those three albums was dog shit. But I think that had more to do with Weiland's drug problems than anything else. I mean, I even like 12 Bar Blues over STP's later stuff. I think drugs is another reason Velvet Revolver sucked.

[InKa4484]

I know what you're saying but i disagree. Their later shit is simply expirimental. Really their old shit expirimental too but they built a Core. I admire and respect their zeppelinesque style. Some songs i don't like but every album has atleast 5 good songs. Looking forward to new albums.

[seaofsorrow17]

Actually after Tiny Music, their music was still phenomenal. I would have to say that No. 4 is up there with Purple, at being the best.

[InKa4484]

shangri la while kinda slow was still full of great tunes. I don't know why it seems like you are arguing with me since we obviously agree. Maybe you weren't trying to reply to me.

[seaofsorrow17]

Actually..I meant to reply to subsamadhi

[savantjester]

at the time i was totally bummed that they did't play a more rockin tune , but i guess they were just being a lil punk rock...

[morneauhrbek]

Wow.

[stopthrm]

Who was Robert Parano?

[HirokaTasahana]

This song is beautiful.......I love it so much.

[kool4ever]

I LUV THIS SONG TOO.

[sde815]

best voice ive ever heard

[Prometheus1991]

I love this song. By the way, what was the name of the guy the mentioned in the beginning?

[zenky100]

wow solo tengo una palabra para describrir a STP "SUBLIME"

[ThaJuiceMang]

Whatever happened to music like this? So much feeling is put into it that most of us can't even fathom. These days it's like every song you hear on the radio was composed for one purpose - to get on the radio. Man I miss the 90's.

[tykrow]

I remember seeing this performance when they first did this. Watching the band play on a sofa and rocking chair with the coffee table in front of them reminds me of the local band jamming down in their basement. However good Velvet Revolver may be, STP is incredibly hard to replace.

[iantmasters]

agreed. Very well put.

[FennelSoftware]

Well-said.

[kool4ever]

SAME HERE MAN, I MISS THE 90'S TOO. :(

[ALPHAJUS]

Thanks for uploading this - Velvet Revolver is great but there no STP.

Yeah, he totally scratched his ass with it!

[ssxj88]

I look at it as the best of GnR and STP have come together. I've seen them live, and they are amazing. I was a casual VR fan until that point, then I really began to appreciate the group. I grew up listening to both, so to me it's the best of both worlds.

[tykrow]

It can be the best of both worlds, however, the rest of the band members from STP do not seem to be easily discarded as Axel. Other bands have had this same type of success in splicing the groups together. Audioslave is a particularly good group to have seen live, especially when they did tracks from all 3 previous groups.

[DavidsonTFP]

One of the best songs for anybody to ever play on acoustic guitar.

[germansillies]

that's exactly the STONE TEMPLE PILOTS that I miss

[buuye]

badass mofo.

[exposfan871]

Thank you! I was hoping someone would upload this video again.

[vkotis]

Wow. they were really good back then!!!! i think the drummer just scratched his ass with that bell instrument...LOL
