About Robert DeLeo
Robert Emile DeLeo is an American musician, best known as the bassist for rock band Stone Temple Pilots. He is part of Delta Deep and he has also played in Talk Show and Army of Anyone. He is the younger brother of Stone Temple Pilots guitarist Dean DeLeo. He is also the former bass player for the supergroup Hollywood Vampires. Although sales of their records exceeded over 30 million, the band disbanded due to Weiland's ongoing problems with drug abuse. Released in 1997 on Atlantic Records, their eponymous debut album peaked at #131 on the Billboard 200 and was considered a commercial flop. In 1985, Scott Weiland and his friends in their band Soi Disant – guitarist Corey Hicock and drummer David Allin – first encountered DeLeo playing live at various gigs, deciding to track him down after witnessing his shows. Their newly formed band, who would eventually be joined by Eric Kretz and Robert's older brother Dean, played many gigs in Los Angeles bars, and were eventually signed onto Atlantic Records in 1992.
