Now all we need is Nirvana to shamelessley come back with a Kurt wannabe and it will be 1992 all over again. PJ on top, AIC is back and rockin, Soundgarden rumors in the air. Hope Dave Grohl sticks to the Foos and Vultures and Krist sticks to politics. All I want to see of Nirvana is maybe some more DVD's like Reading.
For a second, I thought you were talking about our beloved Philadelphia football team. I was thinking, Soundgarden can't lose in the playoffs every year???
I don't post on here a lot, but was surprised when I came on here today, there was nothing on this. I checked pollstar.com yesterday, and they had an article about Soundgarden reuniting. Although I wish Matt the best in all his endeavors, I can't help but wonder how this will affect PJ. Here are the questions that immediately came to my mind. Will Matt work with Soundgarden around PJ's schedule or not? If not, will PJ get someone to temporarily sit in on drums? If not, will they just take the year, or however long Matt is with Soundgarden, off? Is this just a "temporary" reunion, or long-term? And, of course, how does this affect any tour plans? Of course, I want the solution to this to be a Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Temple of the Dog tour, but I know I am really really dreaming on that one. Anyways, feel free to respond to this... Again, best to whatever you do Matt...
I like Soundgarden, really excited about them reforming. But I would much prefer Matt to stay with PJ full time. Soundgarden can do what they like, and I am sure they will put on a massive show, but hopefully some agreement can be reached where the time can be split equally, if that's what Matt wants and Pearl Jam wants. Fingers crossed!
Rock on!!!!
Seen Pearl Jam 4 times in London, once in Manchester, as well as an Eddie show at Hammersmith.

or somehting like that.
hmm... i love this... if matts too busy to tour because of PJ then maybe SG will just have to RECORD instead
they will make this work... im not worried about it at all... im too excited to think of anything else anyway!

I"ll fill in for Matt with PJ - there's not a PJ song I can't rock the shit out of...

I personally do not care much as well, I am only curious to see how Chris Cornell will be....
Chris Cornell has been singing Soundgarden songs on his solo tours for the past few years, his voice is in pretty good shape these days, much better than when he was in Audioslave.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
I have really been indifferent to the news of Soundgarden getting back together. I've always LIKED them but never really was a huge fan. One thing is for sure.....I like them much more than I liked Audioslave whom I didn't like at all.
We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.--Bill Hicks
THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS !!! Truly epic, life affirming joyous news regarding one THE finest bands to emerge in the last 20yrs !!!
How could anyone be unhappy or indifferent to this happening ?? SOUNGARDEN'S output and body of work was outstanding. Flawless. Each album bettered and trumped the previous one (with the exception of "Upside").
SUPERUNKNOWN, creatively speaking, matches ANYTHING that has been recorded in the last 15yrs, by any band or artist, any place. Period.
Let's not forget, historically speaking, Soundgarden were one of the true and original pioneers of the "Seattle" scene and without these guys ( and associated bands Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog), there would most likely be NO PEARL JAM, as we know and love.
We owe SOUNDGARDEN a huge debt of gratitude.
p.s. AUDIOSLAVE were totally fucking awesome. Saw them in 2004 and they kicked Dublin's ass.
p.p.s. Matt Cameron's drumming style suits Soungarden much better than PJ and has committed to playing live shows with Soungarden, so what does that mean for PJ ?? After next summer mini-tour : Another Ed solo project ?? Stone goes solo ? Brad ? Satchel ? The beginning of the END ??
I like Soundgardens recorded output but they are one of the WORST live bands I ever did see play live. They hated each other and it really came across onstage. I mean they were truly truly awfully bad. This is a sickening cash grab and a real shame all round. Hopefully Matt has sense and stays put with Pearl Jam.
Can't get into their music. The only reason I would be excited about this is if it means we get a reprieve from Matt on drums. He's a great drummer, but I still don't see the fit between him and PJ.

Completely agree. I don't mind and will sing along if Dave's got an album on but I've never really been a Soundgarden lover. I too am more interested in what Matt does...
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Yeah i'm not interested to much if they play in the City i probably would venture in providing i can score a ticket but it's not like i must see them at any cost ...
I never heard them in my life, I've been always too obssesed with PJ but I would like to give them a try, I like some of the Chris solo work.
with what soungarden record I should start?
I know this is not the best thread to ask
oh my god! :evil: :evil:
right.... Badmotorfinger (one of the greatest albums i've ever heard.. its flawless from start to the end.. i think the 2 best tracks are even the best SG have ever done)

I disagree with the previous post, start with Superunknown. I'm not a fan of Badmotorfinger with the exception of Slaves & Bulldozers. Chris's voice is too high on it. Either way, Superunknown and Down on the Upside (very underrated due to a few crap punk tracks) will blow your mind!
Between PJ, STP and now Soundgarden touring this year, it's gonna be a good one. Just need Trent to take NIN back out on the road!

Well, they do have the same number of Vince Lombardi trophies.
Crap... stole my joke.

edit - looks like another thread was merged.

I don't think anyone has anything to fear about Matt leaving PJ.
I don't see why he cant do Both PJ have already said the dates are going to be limited to start this year anyway so i don't see a huge PJ tour coming.
And who knows maybe Chris will pop in on a few PJ gigs do a Temple song or something
