Music Videography

From old posts in the alt.music.stone-temple newsgroup, we know that some things about STP's video history are unclear. On this page we'll try to give details about all STP's and related Music Videos. We need your help to compile more info for this page, so if you have any, please mail me.

As you all know, Music Videos are commonly released together with a single release. This is also the case with almost all Stone Temple Pilots videos. "Wicked Garden" and 'No Way Out' are the only videos that aired on MTV and that had no single release to accompany it. Also, the music video for "Big Empty" was taken from STP's 11/17/1993 MTV Unplugged performance.

'Days of the Week,' directed by Kevin Kerslake is more than enough to please vidoephiles, drawing on classic movies from multiple generations, Beattle-esque costuming and an empathetic twist on suburban monotony.
With more than 10 years of video credits from groups like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Mazzy Star,
MusicVideoWire talks to director Kevin Kerslake

MVW: Who created the visual effects in the video?
KK: Vello Virkhaus, he is a VJ. He does a lot of graphics and mixes… at the masses and parties, raves going around town, even nationally.
MVW: As far as writing the treatment, did the band work with you at all?
KK: Typically they just send over the song… We’ve worked together so often before, that we just sort of knew each other’s [style]… I did three videos for Vasoline. And I did “Interstate Love Song.”
MVW: We watch them go through the monotony of the day to day, but almost at once you hit the audience with the band performing ‘Days Of The Week’ incorporated with the visual effects.
KK: I think it was just for the torturous day to day lifestyle that I set them in as salesman. I figured the fantasy is someplace the mind needs to go just to keep on living. And I just thought that going into outer space, getting galactic basically, might be a fun visual way to go. Just because I wanted to see the band in a way that hadn’t necessarily been seen before, that was just a bit more magical.
MVW: My favorite scene is the astronaut about to sit on the couch next to the woman, where it speeds up time.
KK: She’s in real time, then you cut him out, then you do little speed bursts with his part of the shot where you can advance him in time. Just because I think it takes a long time to sit him down on the couch and I needed him to fit within a far shorter period. But that was the editor’s problem. (laughs)
We actually floated him into the couch onstage, but it was just adjusting the speed, the time it took from start to finish. Just speeding it up in bursts to fit within the space allotted.
MVW: You have shot several videos with the STP. What was it like working with them on the set this time?
KK: I knew certain strengths [of the band] that I wanted to play with, particularly their sort of dry sense of humor. And I hadn’t really even flushed that out when I worked with them before, but also it was just something that I felt the world should see. I think now, they are really pro… where it took sometimes in the early days five or 10 takes to nail something, now it takes one or two. I think their skills, everybody’s skills, developed. And some of those five or ten takes could have been my problem too. (laughs)
