STONE TEMPLE PILOTS ROCK THE AESC MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Monday, September 17th’s\u00a0show at Abbotsford’s Entertainment and Sports Centre had everyone wondering, ” are the Stone Temple Pilots going to play??” Yes they will and they did. I kept very optimistic. I had deja vu, it was GNR all over again. They were there, they played and it was fabulous !<\/p>\n

\"Scott<\/a>

Scott Weiland and the Stone Temple Pilots put on a fantastic show. His voice ROCKED !<\/p><\/div>\n

The Stone Temple Pilots were to be on stage at 9:15. The audience is used to possible short delays and in some instances things do happen. I was informed that they were there and they were just getting ready. No announcements were being made and many people, having\u00a0 worked all day and going to work on the Tuesday, were not prepared for a late start. Unfortunately many people had to leave. But at minutes to 11pm, STP took the stage.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The crowd was great, the band INTENSE !<\/p><\/div>\n

The show was intense, tight and the sound was incredible. Well done to the sound crew.\u00a0The\u00a0set started\u00a0 with SIN, then Vasoline, Crackerman and Hollywood Bitch. Great music.<\/p>\n

STP is Scott Weiland on Vocals\u00a0, Eric Kretz on\u00a0Drums, Dean Deleo on Guitar and Robert Deleo on Bass. Their great catalogue of hits was mostly played. They were on the stage for approximately an hour and twenty minutes. Not bad, with the three acts altogether it was a very entertaining and adventurous night. Their music is extreme Rock, which kind of reflects in the extreme controversy they seem to be in occasionally. Scott Weiland has had a colourful career. He fronted Velvet Revolver with Slash and some other members of GNR. One of those Super Groups. \u00a0Great music there too. Like GNR, with STP you have to expect sometimes things don’t happen as they should or there will be some excitement. I think that is what people come to expect from these intense artists and the artists deliver. That’s what makes enertainment. It also make for gossip and publicity. Good or bad, it’s still publicity. STP has won a Grammy for PLUSH, other awards and\u00a03 other Grammy \u00a0nominations that I know of. We were excited that the band reunited in 2008 and has toured since. They still have a huge fan following.<\/p>\n

It’s unfortunate that these things do happen and it reflects badly on the band. No reason was given for the delay and many speculate to why. Was it Scott? Were they late? Their next show for\u00a0Tuesday, Sept. 18\u00a0was canceled in Lethbridge Alberta citing Scott’s vocal Cords were strained. I hope there was no serious problems. All I can say is The Staff at The Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre did an amazing job keeping everyone pretty much calm. A little chanting now and then but for the most part the atmosphere was good. Everyone wanted to see STP !<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Crash Kings opened for STP. Their set was powerful and entertaining.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Crash Kings had an equally stellar set. This trio was amazing! All I kept thinking was these guys reminded me so much of RUSH but with a little different set up. They are lead Guitarless. Antonio Beliveau, the lead singer plays keyboards and VOX and his vocals are fantastic !\u00a0 Michael Beliveau is bass player and Jason Morris, the\u00a0 Drummer , were equally amazing. I always try to compare singers and guitar players, etc, to my Rock heroes from the 70’s or 80’s. Antonio’s voice ROCKED !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Celestial Ruin. Symphonic Metal at it’s best !They warmed up the street party goers. It was a party.<\/p><\/div>\n

The night started with a\u00a0Local Vancouver Indie\u00a0band, Celestial Ruin.\u00a0\u00a0Getting the crowd started at The Street Party. At 6:25pm\u00a0 CR was Rocking everyone out Front. It was so good people were glued to the spots where they stood. The doors opened to let people into the arena and no one moved.<\/p>\n

What a\u00a0great set Celestial Ruin had. Larissa Dawn was amazing. She mesmerized the crowd with her angelic power vocals, Mike\u00a0on the bass while Adam\u00a0pounded the drums and as\u00a0usual broke another and another drum stick. Nathan stroked the keys of his keyboards like caressing a beautiful woman and Yakir blew everyone away with his great guitar riffs. Everything was perfect for the opening band out at The AESC Street Party.<\/p>\n

The night was truly entertaining. Not everyone has the same experience and at this show there definitely were some disappointed fans. I think if it was a weekend it might have been less controversial.<\/p>\n

That’s Rock and Roll !<\/p>\n
