These ripoff accusations infuriated STP, who had spent years formulating their sound and paying their dues playing clubs. Weiland told Metal Hammer Germany in 1994, “I think he burnt his mouth on that one. It's funny. Dean, my guitarist, has been living in San Diego for ten years. Neither he nor his friends have heard a whole lot about Vedder. As a matter of principle I find it arrogant for a musician to talk down about others. But I have nothing against him, I don't even know him. His band plays this classic rock that's too boring for me anyway.” Weiland was more diplomatic about Vedder in a 1993 interview with Rolling Stone, “I have a lot of respect for Eddie Vedder and the ideals and things he stands for. As an artist, he's very valid. But I never really thought that if you put us next to each other, we looked like Siamese twins or anything.

こうしたパクリ容疑はSTPを激怒させた。何年もの間サウンドを練り上げつつ、チケットノルマを払ってクラブで演奏してきたのである。ウェイランドは1994年、メタルハマージャーマニーに対しこう言っている。
『あの一件は奴の舌禍事件さ。笑っちゃうね。うちのギタリスト、ディーンはサンディエゴに10年住んでるんだ。彼どころか彼の友人ですら、ヴェッダーなんて知りもしねえのよ。道理から考えて、ミュージシャンが同業者に対して見下したマネをこくとは、傲慢以外の何物でもないぜ。ただ俺は彼に反論しないよ。彼を知ってるわけでもないし。まぁ、彼のバンドが時代遅れの退屈なロックをやってるってのは知ってるけどね』
1993年のローリングストーンへのインタビューでは、ウェイランドはヴェッダーに対しては、輪を掛けて社交的だ。
『エディ・ヴェッダーのことは尊敬してる。彼の考えや背負ってるものもね。アーティストとしても影響力を持ってる。考えたこともなかったが、今度もし隣り合わせたりしたら、きっと二人はシャム双生児みたいに見えると思うよ』
