Current_members =Dave Coutts Dean DeLeo Robert DeLeo Eric Kretz Talk Show was an American alternative/
hard rock band consisting ofDave Coutts (vocals),Dean DeLeo (guitar),Robert DeLeo (bass), andEric Kretz (drums). The group was essentiallyStone Temple Pilots with Coutts (formerly of the bandTen Inch Men ) taking the place ofScott Weiland , who was, around this time, working on solo material and struggling with drug addiction.Talk Show released their self-titled (and only) album on
Atlantic Records in September 1997. Despite positive reviews and supporting tours with theFoo Fighters andAerosmith , the album's sales were disappointing and deemed a commercial failure. With the lackluster sales, the DeLeos and Kretz re-emerged with Weiland as Stone Temple Pilots once again.After STP called it quits in 2003, the DeLeo brothers formed a band called
Army of Anyone , with vocalistRichard Patrick (Filter) and drummerRay Luzier (formerly ofDavid Lee Roth 's band). After releasing their debut album in 2006 and experiencing poor album sales, Army of Anyone went on indefinite hiatus and STP has since announced a reunion for 2008.ee also
