Stone Temple Pilots continue to tour and record, and perform Interstate Love Song at gigs. Finally, at the age of 48, following an accidental overdose of cocaine, alcohol and MDA, he was found dead on the tour bus while on the road with his group The Wildabouts in 2015. Over the coming years Weiland would be in and out of both STP and rehab. вЂњWe all handled it differently, but safe to say it can be a deadly thing.вЂќДЄnd so it proved. вЂњI donвЂ™t know too many that could handle that type of attention coming at you at such speed,вЂќ he says. However, thanks in part to the success of Interstate Love Song and its sister singles Vasoline and Big Empty, Purple was a massive commercial success, topping the Billboard chart for three weeks and selling more than six million copies.ДeLeo admits that the bandвЂ™s seemingly instant celebrity became a problem. Everything except the writing and performing of the songs was simply fluff.' вЂњWe were working with people of BrendanвЂ™s stature, and those were the opinions that mattered to me. вЂњSuch criticism was never really a concern to me,вЂќ he says patiently. вЂњIt was a privilege to make records with him, and we certainly were not trying to copy anybody else.вЂќДЄ quarter-century down the line, those written accusations of his band being Pearl Jam rip-offs now prompt the bassist to give a wry smile. In an interview from the time, drummer Eric Kretz said: вЂњWe would maybe be worrying that a song sounded a little too close to Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam, and each time Brendan talked us out of that.вЂќ

вЂњItвЂ™s pretty incredible to think that Purple was tracked, mixed and out of the door in just eleven days.вЂќ

вЂњWe trusted Brendan completely and the process felt very natural,вЂќ DeLeo recalls. He also liked to leave the listener to make up their own minds as to a songвЂ™s interpretation.вЂќДЄs with Core, STP retained the services of producer Brendan OвЂ™Brien for Purple. вЂњBut as a writer, Scott always was very poetic. вЂњThe meaning wasnвЂ™t completely obvious, but when you know what the song was about itвЂ™s a very poetic piece,вЂќ DeLeo says now. вЂњThe words are about the lies I was trying to conceal while making the Purple record,вЂќ he later admitted. Their relationship was on the rocks due to the singerвЂ™s hidden yet worsening addiction to heroin, and the words he came up with for it bled out deceit and broken promises.Д®ach night he would bury his shame and call Castaneda and insist that he was clean. While the band worked at Southern Tracks Recording in Atlanta, his fiancГ© Janina Castaneda remained at home in California. While recording the song for Purple, vocalist Scott Weiland threw in the Interstate part of the title.
