“Everybody always wants to come out guns a-blazing,” he says. Through the years, the song has been a fixture in the STP setlist, and interestingly, during their 2008 reunion tour, they used it as their show opener. “We never really thought a song might be a hit,” he says. While it could be surmised that the band knew they were sitting on a hit, DeLeo says they never talked about the song’s commercial prospects and were pleasantly surprised when it reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts. Months before it was released, STP previewed “Big Empty” on MTV Unplugged.

The stirring slide lines were played (in an open G tuning) on a rented Dobro, which the guitarist remembers was “painted yellow and beat to shit, but gosh, it sounded so damn good.” DeLeo’s only qualm at the time was after he played the opening lead line. Later, he overdubbed a Telecaster through a Fender Princeton. For the basic tracks, DeLeo played a rented Gibson ES-335 (“I didn’t own a hollow-body at the time”) through a VHT Classic power amp and a Marshall 4x12. “Each guy knew what the other was going to do.”Īfter cutting “Dancing Days,” the band recorded three takes of “Big Empty” in relatively short order. “Things happened very quickly,” DeLeo says. The band booked time at the Record Plant in Los Angeles with their producer, Brendan O’Brien, to cut two songs in one weekend: a version of “Dancing Days” for the Led Zeppelin tribute album, Ecomium, and “Big Empty” for The Crow soundtrack.ĭeLeo, his bassist brother, Robert, and drummer Eric Kretz ran through it several times as Weiland tried out different vocal melody ideas while writing lyrics.
