Video: Stone Temple Pilots Rock "Kimmel"

Stone Temple Pilots made their triumphant return last night by playing Jimmy Kimmel Live!'s Pontiac Garage. A non-imprisoned Scott Weiland and his STP mates played two songs, Purple's "Vasoline" (above) and Tiny Music's "Trippin' On a Hole in a Paper Heart." The band are set to kick off their massive reunion tour May 17th at Columbus, Ohio's Rock on the Range festival, but not before Weiland serves those eight days in jail. Rolling Stone talked to Weiland for his most comprehensive post-Velvet Revolver interview, which you can read here.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
