Interstate Love Song

"Interstate Love Song" is a rock track by Stone Temple Pilots, released as the second single from their 1994 album Purple. It reached number one on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart and held that position for 15 weeks, a record at the time. For electric guitarists, the song is a rewarding study in melodic riff writing and the layered, warm tones that defined mid-1990s alternative rock.

  • The song spent 15 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, a record at the time of release.
  • It replaced Stone Temple Pilots' own single 'Vasoline' at number one, giving the band 17 straight weeks atop that chart.
  • Released in October 1994, the track comes from Purple, the band's second studio album, which became one of the defining rock records of the decade.

Dean DeLeo uses Telecasters for STP's cleaner, stripped-back arrangements, leveraging their bright single-coil twang to cut through without muddiness. Their articulate bite provides the sparkly contrast to the band's heavier Les Paul-driven riffs.

The Les Paul Standard's warm PAF-style humbuckers deliver the core-era STP crunch, offering rich midrange that bridges DeLeo's clean tones and overdriven Marshall breakup. This guitar anchors the band's signature heavy yet melodic sound.

While less documented than his Standards and Deluxe, the Custom's fuller PAF voicing suits STP's dense, layered arrangements. Its premium construction complements DeLeo's preference for guitar-amp interaction over heavy effects.

DeLeo pushes the JCM800 into natural tube saturation for Stone Temple Pilots' signature overdriven tone, avoiding heavy distortion pedals. This head provides the warm, organic breakup essential to tracks like 'Plush' and 'Vasoline.'

The Twin Reverb's pristine headroom and lush reverb define STP's clean, atmospheric parts heard on ballads like 'Big Empty.' Its sparkle complements DeLeo's Telecaster work and dynamic volume knob manipulation.

The AC30's natural chime and breakup character provide warmth and psychedelic texture for STP's cleaner passages and atmospheric moments. Its vintage British tone balances the Marshall's aggression in the band's dynamic arrangements.
