When Stone Temple Pilots disbanded in 2003, the band sent Weiland new music, which he took into his studio and added vocals. This music eventually became the song “Set Me Free”. Weiland was still unsure whether or not he wanted to join, despite delivering the music to the band himself and performing at an industry showcase at Mates. They recorded two songs with producer Nick Raskulinecz , a recorded version of ” Set Me Free ” and a cover of Pink Floyd ‘s ” Money “, for the soundtracks to the movies Hulk and The Italian Job , respectively. Weiland joined the band soon after. “Set Me Free” managed to peak at number 17 on the Mainstream Rock Chart without any radio promotion or a record label.
