Covering the Beatles is a dare most bands are wise to duck, but in 2001 Stone Temple Pilots took a swing at "Revolution", a John Lennon song from 1968 that carries the Lennon–McCartney credit. Lennon wrote it with the political protests of early 1968 in his ears, siding with the need for change while doubting the violent tactics some of the New Left favored. The Beatles recorded it three ways, and the fast, loud one ended up on the flip side of "Hey Jude".
STP produced their version themselves, with Scott Weiland singing, Dean DeLeo on guitar, Robert DeLeo on bass and Eric Kretz on drums. Stephen Trask sits in on Rhodes piano and joins Robert on the backing vocals. Jack Joseph-Puig mixed it, and Doug Grean and Brian Scheuble engineered.
