ByJohn

In a conversation he had in the Podcast The Magnificent Others the frontman of Smashing pumpkins Billy Corgan spoke to the bassist of the Stone Temple Pilots Robert Deleo of the musical similarities between the songs of his band and the Stone Temple Pilotsgroups that both began in the early nineties related in some way to the grunge scene.

At one point Corgan confided to Deleo, “I believe that Scott (Weiland, the former singer of the Stone Temple Pilots who died in 2015, editor’s note) copied a Pumpkin song (referring to the song of the Stone Temple Pilots” Plush “, ed)?”. Deleo replied: “Really? I owe you money.”

Billy Corgan referred to the song “Suffer”included in the debut album of Smashing pumpkins of 1991 “Gish”explaining that there is a strong similarity in the refrain. “There is a part in ‘suffer’ of the pumpkin. I was watching MTV somewhere in America, that song starts, I feel it and I remain shocked. Beautiful copy, however.” Deleo can only repeat himself: “I hope he gave you money”.

“Plush”
It is one of the most successful songs of the
Stone Temple Pilots
and is included in their first album dated 1992,
“Core”
