Career

At a Black Flag concert in Long Beach, DeLeo met Scott Weiland (who would eventually be the lead singer of Stone Temple Pilots). They soon discovered that they were both dating the same woman. Weiland and DeLeo, who had left Texas, moved to San Diego, where they attempted to form a band. They eventually hooked up with drummer Eric Kretz, and DeLeo managed to convince his brother Dean to play guitar in their new band. Mighty Joe Young was the band's name. They appeared in many Los Angeles bars and were eventually signed to Atlantic Records in 1992. However, the band was forced to change their name and tossed around concepts such as "Shirley Temple's Pussy" and "Sticky Toilet Paper" before redesigning it to "Stone Temple Pilots," which, according to Weiland, has no specific meaning other than that it retained the STP initials.

Stone Temple Pilots emerged to be one of the decade's most popular bands during their years of fame in the 1990s. DeLeo is credited with a large amount of the band's recordings, as well as the famous intros for the songs "Plush" and "Interstate Love Song." Despite the fact that sales of their records exceeded 30 million, the band was disbanded as a result of Weiland's continuing heroin use.

Stone Temple Pilots reunited in early 2008 and launched their eponymous sixth studio album on May 25, 2010. They released an EP named High Rise with new lead singer Chester Bennington of Linkin Park fame on October 8, 2013.

During Stone Temple Pilots' absence in 1997 due to Weiland's run-ins with the legislation, DeLeo, his brother Dean, and Kretz joined with singer Dave Coutts of Ten Inch Men and formed the Talk Show. Their eponymous debut album, released on Atlantic Records in 1997, ranked at #131 on the Billboard 200 and was described as a commercial flop. Coutts was eventually dismissed, and the band disbanded. During this time, Weiland went back to recover and released a solo album.

DeLeo and his brother Dean formed the band Army of Anyone after the break-up of Stone Temple Pilots in 2003. Patrick DeLeos, the group's friend, contacted the DeLeos about writing content for Filter's fourth album. The band eventually called in Luzier for an audition, found the procedure worked, and the band was formed. In November 2006, the band's self-titled debut album was released. The album was a critical hit; some went so far as to call it one of the year's best of the year. DeLeo summed up his sound on the album as follows:

However, Army of Anybody went on "indefinite hiatus" in 2007 after disappointing album sales and Patrick's return to Filter.

DeLeo performed bass on songs for Japanese rock band B'z in 2007, including two on their album Action. He also contributes bass to five songs on their new album New Love, which also stars Joe Perry.

DeLeo appeared with Kings of Chaos in 2016.

DeLeo's debut solo album Lessons Learned and its lead single "Love is Not Made of Gold," starring Jimmy Gnecco on the same day, was released on September 29, 2022.

DeLeo, a former Schecter Guitar Research employee, designed the prototype of what later became his signature model while working there. During his time with the Stone Temple Pilots, the Schecter Model T was his primary live instrument. In a "P/J" configuration, the basses' original configuration had a 34" scale neck and Seymour Duncan pickups. Schecter has since released several versions of this theme, including a 5-string model with a 35" scale length and models with pickups from various manufacturers.

He is known for his smooth style of playing, with jazz, '60s rhythm, and blues infusions, as well as hard rock creating a distinctive tone. James Jamerson, a legendary bassist, has a major influence. The late John Entwistle of The Who, Rocco Prestia of Yes, Chris Squire of Yes, and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones are among the many influences. DeLeo is well-known for his riffs; he created the bulk of Stone Temple Pilots' signature riffs, as well as arranging the bulk of the band's songs.

Although he mainly uses the Schecter bass for recording purposes, he has a fondness for oddball off-brand basses from the 1960s, particularly short-scale hollowbody basses that he strunge with flat wound strings. He appeared as a Rickenbacker bass in Army of Anybody's "Goodbye" video.

DeLeo's usual live rig, as well as Stone Temple Pilots', includes an Alembic F1X preamp, a QSC MX1500 poweramp, three Eden 2x12 cabinets, and three Eden 4x10 cabinets. On either side of the drum riser, one 2x12 and one 4x10 cab are placed, while the third stack is placed on DeLeo's side of the stage and kept as a back-up. Marshall and Fender amplifications are the most popular, but Ampeg amps and basses have been used as well.

Core, Stone Temple Pilots' debut album, was released with a Jazz-type bass prototype from his Schecter Model-T bass, a G&L L2000, and an Ampeg SVT amplifier with an 8x10 cabinet. Purple, their second album, was released on his live track. DeLeo's usual recording setup for the bulk of Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, many of which are out of date, include No. 123. Shangri-La-Dee-Da's 4-4 system, as well as some of Shangri-La-Dee-Da's, was more complicated; he split his signal, bi-amping it to a '69 Marshall keyboard 8x10 cabinet, and a '59 Fender Bassman amplifier with a custom 1x15 cabinet; all of Shangri-La-Dee-Da. This arrangement, which DeLeo described in a Bass Player Magazine article as an opportunity to hear distorted and clear sounds simultaneously and produce more workable sounds on tape by blending the signals to taste.

Schecter Model T Signature basses, as well as a '66 Fender Precision Bass with flatwound strings, are among the basses he has used during his time with Stone Temple Pilots. Many shortscale hollowbody basses with flatwound strings (the one on "Crime" and "Atlanta" was a Limgar) and an Orlando "Pretty Penny"; on "Sour Girls"), a '76 Rickenbacker 4001 (about "Art School Girls") and an unidentified form of upright bass (on "Pretty Penny") (the bass on "Sour Girl") on "Sour Girl") (includes He is also accused of using a '50s Danelectro Longhorn' and a Fender Musicmaster. He uses Sansamp BDDI for extra energy on occasion and on "And So I Know" and an EHX Micro Synth on "Transmissions from a Lonely Room," both by Stone Temple Pilots. He also shifts his tone according to a bass Wah-wah pedal (a good example being on the Stone Temple Pilots' "Vasoline").
