Big Empty became popular due to being featured in the commercials for the movie “The Crow” in the spring of 1994. I watched “The Crow” a bunch of times during my freshman year in college because it was my roommate’s favorite movie ever. The crazy thing with that film is that it was about a guy coming back from the dead; and the actor, Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee), was actually killed during it’s filming by a mistakenly loaded gun.
In the summer of 1994 the Stone Temple Pilots released an album containing Big Empty, called “Purple.” Similar to Pearl Jam’s “Vs.” I remember this CD for it’s bright yellow scaly looking pattern. I also remember a kid at tennis camp that summer blasting this song about 100 times in a row out his dorm room window.
