Cause I love STP so much and it meant so much to me as a musician throughout my process - along with other bands too - but they were definitely one of those bands that influenced me and that I looked up to a lot, I just wanted to continue their journey - for them.

Jeff Gutt

After my extended hiatus I found myself at the age of 36 and knew the TV route could get me back out there with the biggest splash.

Jeff Gutt

Sure I've done some runs and even toured some amazing places around the world, but this is Stone Temple Pilots!

Jeff Gutt

No one will ever fill Scott's shoes and I'm not trying to - he's a legend. But these songs deserve to be performed and people want to hear them. I'm just honored that the guys chose me to help them continue to build this band's legacy.

Jeff Gutt

I think I've proven that I'm more than just a TV singer. I was always more than that, even before I went on TV.

Jeff Gutt

There's so many STP songs that are just classic to me, and just so influential in my musical growth.

Jeff Gutt

I've been trying my whole life to get to this point, and it's finally here. It's an amazing record, and it happens to be with Stone Temple Pilots. I mean, what could be better than that?

Jeff Gutt

I'm a big fan of 'Dead and Bloated,' for sure.

Jeff Gutt

So I just try to be me and feel the songs and feel the energy of the band with me.

Jeff Gutt

I knew Chester. I've known Chester since 2001. I was in a band called Dry Cell, and we were signed by the same guy that signed Linkin Park, so that's how I knew him. He would come to some of our writing sessions and rehearsals; I'd see him in the studios that we were at.

Jeff Gutt

I think back to the Eagles, Elton John, people like that when I think about the Troubadour. It's an iconic place.

Jeff Gutt

I was probably 16 or 17 when 'Core' came out, and I just remember how Scott could cater to the song and create these characters. That blew me away.

Jeff Gutt

I felt I had a good ear, and I had the ability to sing like my influences.

Jeff Gutt

The thing I admired most about Scott was his fearlessness. Of course his voice, lyrics, and stage presence have always had an effect on me as they have most STP fans. But it was his fearlessness that I admired the most.

Jeff Gutt

Every night on stage it gets more and more comfortable. I think it really shows in the performances and just being able to revel in it and do it and live the dream I've thought about for so long.

Jeff Gutt

After I started singing, I'd go to my dad's records I grew up with in his house listening to: Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, the Carpenters, Bob Seger, Neil Diamond, voices that resonate with you, that you know who they are right away.

Jeff Gutt

It's not like I decided to continue the Stone Temple Pilots.

Jeff Gutt

The great thing about the STP catalog is it's diversity.

Jeff Gutt

I had walked away from the music industry because I had a certain integrity and all that.

Jeff Gutt

And I'd spent 20 years in bars and nightclubs, dealing with promoters and getting ripped off and just everything that comes with all that stuff - paying your dues, I guess.

Jeff Gutt

I've got thick skin.
