It isn’t always good news when a new singer joins an established band.
THE sound of knives being unsheathed by naysayers has already echoed, and that’s just after poor Chester Bennington got his vocal chords to rattle on a single new Stone Temple Pilots (STP) song, with the recent release of Out Of Time. It might be a case of oil mixing with water, but during STP’s recent unveiling of Bennington at California rock radio station KROQ’s annual Weenie Roast do, the Linkin Park frontman just about survived a 40-minute set that included the grunge giant’s hardest hitters like Plush, Dead And Bloated and Vaseline, along with Out Of Time.
