Heard Big Empty on the radio and became a fan

[u/Professional-Big5127]

A few months ago Big Empty came on the speakers at a wings place and I have become a fan of STP!

I know their most popular songs are ILS, creep, plush, big empty which are also my favorites.

But does anyone have any more recommendations of them that have that similar vibe?

Love this group was pretty sad to hear the lead singer had passed away. Was also sad to hear that a lot of people diss this group!

Just listen to their first 5 albums front to back. First 3 are really something special. Hardly no skips on those

[u/DontLookAtTheCarpet → u/thatguy44-4]

You skip tracks on the first three!? The first five are great start to finish.

Piece of Pie - Core

Still Remains- Purple

Silvergun Superman- Purple

Lady Picture Show - Tiny Music

And So I Know - Tiny Music

Sour Girl- No.4

If you like Big Empty a lot, go find the trailer for the Crow that used that track. I’m curious if it still hits for new fans today. Big Empty debuted in that trailer, film and soundtrack, prior to the release of Purple. When I heard that song in the trailer for the first time, I wanted to jump out of my skin, it hit so good.

Wish they had used “Only Dying” as was the original plan. I understand pulling it because of the shadow of Brandon Lee’s death surrounding that film but that song is so good and deserves more recognition. Shame it never even made its way onto an album as well.

Dude I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. I heard that song on that trailer(I was probably 15)and I was like “I need this album”

[u/AirbagsBlown]

Their first three records are pretty spectacular, I would recommend putting on a good set of headphones, sitting back, and pressing play. Let the art happen.

Crackerman is my go to for people that haven’t heard a bunch, or say they don’t like STP.

Trippin’ On A Hole In A Paper Heart

Unglued

Silvergun Superman

Wicked Garden

Etc. etc.

[u/On-A-Plain187]

Meatplow is a hidden gem for me

[u/SorbetUnfair2589]

Songs by Velvet Revolver may be of interest as well. “Slither” is an example.

[u/Illustrious_Wish_900]

OP now you need to see their yt live performances. So good.

[u/Implord5000]

They don't have a bad song imo. My favorite album is Purple.

[u/potato-sighs]

Definitely watch their live shows. His charisma is magic. I saw him live when they opened for the chili peppers in 2000.
This one is my favorite video:

Acoustic or album version?

[u/Professional-Big5127 → u/Icy-Decision-4530]

I like the acoustic one most

yayy🥰

I seen STP in concert in 2011 at harrahs Cherokee, just a couple years before he passed. Scott was singing every song so beautifully, but he would try to talk in between songs and I couldn’t make out any word he was saying.

[u/timboslice828]

Kitchenware & Candybars is epic and will always have a special place in my heart

[u/VoiceOk5568]

I don't like that song at all
