Wierd Soundgarden OPening Band Rumor on Radio

Nickaboo

Yesterday was driving in my car and The DJ on the radio says, " There is a rumor floating around that on PJ'S summer 2010 tour, that this next song's band is regrouping and will be the opening band for PJ. It is just a rumor floating around right now". Then he plays Black Hole Sun. WHATTTT SOUNDGARDEN! FIrst of all YEAH YEAH YEAH that there will be additional 2010 PJ tour dates. That made me happier that anything, but wouldn't that be interesting. And what would MAtt do, play with both bands? Has anyone else heard this rumor?

i'm coming to america in 2010 if that is true - that's the maddest shit i've heard in a long time! :shock: :thumbup:

Brisk.

:-o

Of course Matt would play both!

a) It's just a rumor, if Soundgarden reunited they will do there own headlining gig..no doubt..
b) Matt would drum on both bands..unless Jack Irons said he could play for a short tour...
c) I don't see this happening..but I'm there if they do

Come on, we don't need any new Soundgarden albums or a reunion tour...when they broke up Cornell said it was because they'd accomplished all they were going to accomplish. Just because he can't write good music anymore doesn't mean you have to bring back Soundgarden.

weird

Ok

I agree with some of the earlier posters - feelings could change, but I doubt they've got the urge for a full blown tour, whether or not its with PJ.

This would OBVIOUSLY be a nostalgia 1-off tour to stock Cornell, Thayil, and Shepherd's retirement accounts.. I think it would be a good thing.. Very cool of Matt and PJ to share the love and the dollars.. I seriously doubt there could be a new record, and based on their history, I doubt this could be an on-going working entity again.. This would be no different than Flight to Mars or even Harrybu McCage. A side project only with TONS more publicity.. A quick grab for a few bucks from the 30 to 40-somethings that wanna dust off our flannel and wail to Jesus Christ Pose one last time... If they tour together (doubtful) possibly Temple of the Dog encores every show? Would LOVE to hear Chris sing Say Hello 2 Heaven Live.. and segue into Ed singing Crown of Thorns.. I think we are far more likely to see a BRIEF major markets tour of Soundgarden headline shows.. Theaters/large clubs and High Dollar ticket prices.. But we can dare to dream, right??

I'd rather see Dave Krusen behind the drum kit

i wouldn't mind it...but i doubt it. Matt would have to drum with both bands and that would be a very heavy load to handle..it'd be cool to see and hear though.

it sure will. i doubt it too. can't see matt play 40 something minutes with soundgarden only, then take a break & come back onstage and play 2 hours 30 something minutes with pearl jam. i can see a soundgarden reunion tour, just soundgarden, cause there are rumor's ed's going to europe in 2010, and 2 band member's have kids coming soon.

I heard of this rumour months ago...would have thought it was dead if not true by now

Your opinion. Mine is that if they ever got back together and toured I'd be lining up to see them for sure. One of the greatest bands of the 90s, imo. If PJ have a break and Soundgarden reform then it would be exciting for someone like me who's never seen them live. I hope they do get back for a reunion tour, it wouldn't be a permanent thing but why shouldn't they get back if they wanted to? I bet there are thousands of people out there who never saw them in the 90s who'd love to see them tour again, like so many other bands have done. Nothing wrong with reunions if the bands can get their acts together. RAGTM is one who toured successfully, I believe.

It's undertandable why cornell would want a reunion tour, after his disasterous time with Timberland, think he want's to go back to his roots... And rightly so! Let's just put the whole scream thing behind us, he was amazing in LA when he did Hunger Strike with the guys, one of the best moments of my life!!!

I had started a thread a while back about my ultimate tour: PJ, SG, and TOTD opening. Matt plays all sets.

Superman, he is. :ugeek:

Awhile back there was that interview where Stone sadi PJ wont be touring in 2010 because one of the members is having a baby. Supposedly that "baby" is a soundgarden reunion. For them to tour together would just be INSANE.

I definitely think this will happen, I really cant see why it wouldnt happen.

I think it's a bit early to say this will definitely happen. Believe me, I'd be at the front of any line to get Soundgarden tickets, but I haven't read/heard enough to convince me that this is a serious rumor right now.

So... Maybe Ed will come to Europe for a solo tour, and Soundgarden will open for him?

Didn't Kelly Curtis say in a recent billboard article that PJ would be touring in 2010?
