Take the lead singer of Filter, add the guitarist and bassist from Stone Temple Pilots and bring in one of the leading session drummers around and what do you have? Those are the ingredients that went into forming Army of Anyone, which features vocalist Richard Patrick, Stone Temple Pilot founding members Dean and Robert DeLeo and seasoned drummer Ray Luzier. Between the years 1994-2002, Richard and Robert and Dean have shared many a stage and have crossed many a path. Each of them being fans of the others’ work, the guys would jam and hang out at any given opportunity. The foundation for the group was laid when Patrick enlisted the DeLeos to help him co-write a song for the Filter album he was working on at the time. The result, “A Better Place,” turned out to be prophetic, and the beginning of something new. Within a couple of days, the three musicians decided they would take this working relationship to the next level, and Army of Anyone was born.

So how many points do you get for a street team post like this?

But the album is SO AWFUL and BORING.

Saw them last week at a club gig here in Toronto (I got in for free)

The DeLeo's still rock, but Richard was sick and he bailed on the gig a little over 30 minutes in.

So they pulled someone from the audience, some STP mega-fan, who came up and sang "Down" with them.....and it was fucking AMAZING.

So yeah, not sure what to make of the band, but the album isnt very good.

The best thing STP ever did was Tiny Music, wish they could make music like that again, regardless of Weiland, loved the music on that album.
