Whatever the case, it is true that we decided to scrap it for The Crow in deference to Brandon Lee's passing. We negotiated for Big Empty to be in all the trailers for The Crow, which got more attention on TV, than the song got at radio, and the coup was coordinating it to lead the off the record as the first single, while the song was so hot on TV, resulting in a #1 debut for Purple (very narrowly beating out a release by Warren G) in June of 1994. Much of this was pure circumstance, but there was quite a bit of jockeying going on behind the scenes.” After the Unplugged performance and after the recording of Big Empty, the band headed into the studio to record their second album Purple, marking the end of the Core era. As of 2012, Core has been certified 8x Platinum in the United States, making it one of the most popular albums of the 90's alternative rock era. The album was released 20 years ago today, but songs from Core are still played in heavy rotation today on rock radio. STP fans continue to debate which of STP's six albums is their best, but Core will always be remembered as what started it all. While it is enjoyable to look back at Core, let's hope the ride isn't over yet and that STP come roaring back with a seventh studio album next year.

『いずれにしても、ブランドン・リーの逝去に配慮して《ザクロウ》への提供をお蔵入りにしたのは本当さ。替わりに《ビッグエンプティ》を使用するのはどうかと交渉したんだ。理由として、この曲はラジオよりも、テレビでは注目を集めていたし、戦略的にはレコードからのシングルカットと連携させるというものだった。テレビで注目されていたし、結果的に1994年の6月には《パープル》からのナンバー1ヒットとなったのさ。（ウォレンGによる限定発売ではあったのだが）こうした現状でありながらも、裏では手玉に取ろうとする連中が暗躍していたんだ』

アンプラグド出演、《ビッグエンプティ》のレコーディングを終えると、バンドはすぐさまセカンドアルバム《パープル》のレコーディングへと突進した。《コア》時代の終焉である。2012年現在、《コア》は全米で800万枚のセールスを記録しており、90年代における最も売れたオルタナティヴロックレコードとなっている。アルバム発売から20年経った今でも、ロックレイディオからはへヴィローテーションで流れてくる。STPファンたちは6枚のアルバムのどれがベストかと言う論争を続けているが、《コア》がその地位を明け渡すことは、恐らくないだろう。《コア》を回顧することは勿論楽しいことだが、お楽しみはまだ終わってはいない。来年咆哮と共に帰還する、彼らの7枚目のスタジオアルバムを期待することとしよう。
