Soundgarden reunion is official!!!!

Yeah true, he was doing solo stuff which I'm not really a fan of... he did play a couple of Soundgarden songs and when he did the crowd went pretty mental.

But like someone said, there have been so many reunions that have turned out to be disasters, so I guess I'm just not getting my hopes up. Will be awesome to see though if it works out. Fingers crossed!
 
Poor guy, he can still sing like a mother****er, better than anybody that's judging him in this thread, that's for sure. But I just have a feeling that as soon as he tries to blast into "Slaves and Bulldozers", it might get a little messy.
 
Alright enough, everybody. Start listing the reunions you've seen and why they were ****.

I saw Jane's Addiction at Lollapalooza 2003 and they murdered a kid on stage they were so good.
 
That's true, however his voice has already changed a significantly large amount. His solo stuff you can really hear the difference. Just the wear and tear of a long time screamer.
 
the worse that could happen is that they hit the stage and come off as a cheap imitation of what they used to be. cardboard cutouts and hollow screams.



normally i loathe reunion tours. last year's FNM reunion forced me to reconsider my position. an interview with Kim Thayil from last fall also had me braced for an eventual SG reunion. it's like he said, when's the last time anyone saw a Soundgarden t-shirt or poster for sale? the band went under in '97, then their management company, then the label they were on got swallowed, and the band became a footnote of the 90s rock movement.

i used to own 3 SG shirts, only have 1 left and it's holier than christ. posters? only the ones i salvaged from guitar world magazine. depending on how this tour goes the mythical B-Sides compilation of live cuts, european and japanese only single tracks, the 2nd disc to the limited edition Badmotorfinger double release (satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas) might actually see the light of day. i already went through the hassle of searching EVERY single day for MONTHS to score a copy of 'fresh deadly roses' a decade ago on soulseek, i don't want to cheapen that with a discographical torrent of their catalog to make sure i have all the mp3s, i want the final missing disc for my collection.


anyone have any word on tour dates yet? anything for Vancouver, BC?
 
hahahahaha

i agree they were good tracks...but it just became your typical alt rock album. i just keep thinking about how original and how amazing nothing's shocking and ritual de lo habitual are. strays doesn't even compare...and after years of being broken up and the hype that was built up about it i just didn't find it to up to par.
