While Scott Weiland was working on his musical chops, bassist Robert DeLeo was in Point Pleasant, New Jersey playing with his older brother Dean, five years his senior. Dean's band played in bars, but Robert was so talented the band let him in and snuck him in to play shows. One day Robert decided to pick up and leave New Jersey and move to California. He lived out of his car initially in the Long Beach area with no music gear, but he eventually got an apartment and a home eight track studio after inheriting some money. DeLeo, whose biggest influences were James Jamerson and Led Zeppelin, met Scott Weiland at one of Soi-Distant's gigs in Orange County, joining the band to perform a song. Weiland was blown away by DeLeo's talent, but it took awhile before he could finally get him to form a band with him. Sometime in late 1987/early 1988, Soi-Distant dissolved and morphed into Swing, the first incarnation of Stone Temple Pilots.

スコット・ウェイランドが下積みを重ねている頃、べーシストのロバート・デリオはニュージャージー州ポイントプレザントに居た。そこで5歳年上の兄ディーンとプレイしていた。デイーンのバンドはバーでプレイしていたのだが、弟のロバートが余りに上手いので、バンドが彼を引き入れ、ショーでプレイさせていたのだ。
ある日ロバートは、ニュージャージーを引き払ってカリフォルニアへ引っ越す決心をした。最初はロングビーチ界隈で車で寝泊りをしていた。楽器すら持たずに。その後いくらか財産を相続すると、やっとこさアパートと8トラックのスタジオを手に入れた。
最大の音楽的影響はジェームズ ジェイマスンとレッド ツェッペリンとするデリオは、オレンジカウンティでのソイ・ディスタンスのギグでスコット・ウェイランドと出会い、彼のバンドでプレイし始めた。デリオの才能にぶっ飛んだウェイランドではあったが、正式に彼をバンドへ参加させるまでには、少々時間を要した。1987年の終わりか、あるいは1988年の頭に、ソイ・ディスタントは解散し、ゆっくりとその姿を変えて行った。その最初の化身がストーン・テンプル・パイロッツであった。
