063 - Talk Show - Talk Show (1997) (with Clinton Degan) Jukebox Zeroes

- Music
In 1997, Stone Temple Pilots were on the cusp of a major tour in support of their latest studio release "Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop", when frontman Scott Weiland abruptly exited to check into rehabilitation for drug problems. Rather than wait for Weiland to recover, the rest of Stone Temple Pilots connected with the frontman of obscure California band Ten Inch Men to record and tour without their beleaguered vocalist. They christened themselves Talk Show and released a self-titled debut in 1997, but failed to catch on among audiences despite a plush opening touring slot with Foo Fighters and Aerosmith. The album sunk into obscurity just as quickly as it arrived, and Talk Show disbanded in 1998 as Stone Temple Pilots reunited.
Talk Show has gone down in history as a nebulous oddity in both the history of Stone Temple Pilots and 90s alternative rock in general, but there could be so much more. On a new Jukebox Zeroes Lilz and Patrick intend to find out. Return-guest Clinton Degan joins them once again for a rousing discussion of Talk Show and some much-needed silliness, as they touch upon cardboard boxes, monkeys, sleigh bells, and mispronounce Dave Coutts' name a lot.
