If SG reunites that will be bigger news than anything PJ has done for a good while.
oh.... it wasn't a joke... :evil:
Are you serious?? Soundgarden wasn't quite as big as PJ, but they were one of the biggest bands of the world right along with PJ, back in 94.
soundgarden/pearl jam super tour with special guest temple of the dog.
Matts arms would fall off by the end if the tour
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
So Dewie Cox, while it may be big news, that dosen't mean Matt is the glory hound you are, I'm sure he would do it to make some great music, and I agree that SG were a great band, but they don't come close to the magic that is PJ. And I can't understand why you spend so much time on this site when clearly PJ just don't do it for you anymore. You know the saying if you don't have something good to say then shut the fuck up?
Shut the fuck up.
On the homepage - under headlines, it reads "Knights of the Soundtable" - which below that has a direct link to www.soundgardenworld.com. Once at the site you are prompted to include your name, e-mail and mobile phone number and you are rewarded with a vintage Soundgarden video.
"The 12 year break is over and school is back in session". Can it be any more obvious?
THIS THREAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER MATT WILL JOIN SOUNDGARDEN...
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Dude, you need to chill!
That being said, I really hope he doesn't try to use the same drumsound in a reunited SG that he's been using for PJ caue I think he a heavier sound would suit the music better.
I never said that I thought they were as good as PJ. PJ still does it for me. Just b/c their new album blows(imo) doesn't mean they don't have 100 other songs I can put on at any time and enjoy.
Tell me, what bit of PJ news is bigger than one of the 90s/all time biggest bands reuniting after 15 years? That was all I said in my post.
People that don't know how to read need to shut the fuck up.
And what the hell is that glory hound talk about? I dunno how posting on an internet message board is gonna get me any glory at all.
wow intriguing you think backspacer blows.. johnny guitar sucks big time but there are some crackes on that record!
I just love that snare that matt used in soundgarden especially.
No I really don't. I'm just sick of the people who think that saying things like the new album sucks and this song sucks, don't find another place to complain and criticize and live in the past. They're not going to remake Binaural ok! And a SG reunion is bigger than anything PJ has done recently? Really? How about celebrating the fact they never broke up? That they never stopped making music? And Backspacer is a great album. I think. And I'm sure a lot of other people on this site do too. It does happen to be the official FAN club site. Probably not the best place to bash this band in any way. And you can say what you want about being entitled to an opinion, which you are, just air it somewhere else. Either that or expect some back lash.
And glory hound comes from the fact you said it was "bigger news" than anything PJ has done in quite awhile. Who cares about news? Glory hounds. Who posts over 2000 times? Glory hounds.
If someone wants to follow this band blindly, declaring their infallibility as if they were Lord Jesus himself, then that's their privilege. But unless there's mean intentions, criticism and disagreement has always been welcome here.
I'll be one to say I've never quite gelled with Matt's drumming for Pearl Jam. I believe him to be a phenomenally talented drummer, musician, composer and singer, but I would take Jack Irons back in a heartbeat. No Code and Yield are my favorite albums, and have been since the albums came out over a decade ago. I know there are Dave A. fans in abundance as well, and Matt certainly has his fans. I can say that Matt has stabilized the band and been a backbone for them live, but I don't like the change in feel that accompanied his joining the band. Funny thing is, I think he was an AMAZING drummer when he played with Soundgarden, and I really look forward to seeing what that band does when they get back together. Kim, Chris, Matt and Ben (with props to Hiro) made some great music, stuff that was rhythmically challenging, dark, heavy, and yet melodic and soaring. Matt's affinity for alternate time signatures and funny turnarounds defined Soundgarden, and I will make every attempt to see them if they play any shows.
Then again, if I'm wrong, apparently I'm just a noob who doesn't know how things work around here.
How about four sell out shows to close the Spectrum?
It's not about being right or wrong. And there are no rules here, it's called freedom of speech and I encourage it. And I don't think that I "follow this band blindly, declaring their infallibility as if they were Lord Jesus himself," I never said my word was gospel. If anyone thinks that it's you and Dewie with how much time you spend on here, writing your opinions and disecting the music like it's yours. I take exception to someone saying Backspacer or Self Titled sucked because I LIKE those albums. Do I think every single thing PJ has done is great? No, but the majority of it I love. So if you say that these albums suck, your saying that anyone who loves them is misguided on what truly good PJ music is, cause a certain drummer played on it? I love Jack too, but Matt has taken the band to new level live. And I've seen PJ play with Dave, Jack and Matt, and I definitely think Matt is the best fit, both musically and as a member with some history. He's known Jeff and Stone and Mike longer than Ed has.
What really bugged me about what he said was PJ haven't done anything big in quite a while? What constitutes big? PJ could've been the biggest band in the world but pulled back. I loved Soundgarden and I can't wait to see them again and hopefully get some new music too. But the fact remains that Chris Cornell always thought he was bigger than the band. I mean is everyone forgetting he just made a record with Timbaland? Or that Audioslave didn't fly because of his ego?
Pearl Jam are my favorite band. They have been since that hot August day back in 92. So yes, I get a little defensive when they are critcized by other "fans." I have stayed away from discussions like this in the past because I knew it would just turn into an argument. But Cox seems to have nothing good to say, ever, so I called him on some things. And I'm just as entitled as you guys are to defend things that are dear to me.
That's it, that's all, that's everything.
Not even close. They sell out shows all the time. Sure they closed the Spectrum, but it's not really that big a deal to anyone outside of Philly. To be honest, the biggest news PJ has had since SG broke up was Roskilde.
I didn't criticize PJ initially. Just pointing out the stupidity in your first statement, "Matt has made it big with PJ", like he'd be taking a huge step back by playin a reunion tour with SG
So me pointing out the fact the an SG reunion is huge news makes me a glory hound.
Who posts 2000x? I'd say most people that regular the boards.
The fact that you think somebody could achieve any kinda glory on an message board tells me you need to get outta your mom's basement
And you "pointed out the stupidity" in that statement.
haha i think you forgot about oldschool M&G guys like me, ian, lucylespian and pj_gurl...i'm sure we would all be doing something similar to your pic....
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And when did it become a crime to talk negatively about a song or album you don't like? If you can't handle opposing opinions you shouldn't be on here
I'm 37 years old, you're 27, you weren't even a blip on the radar screen in 92 so don't talk to me about the old stuff, I saw PJ in 92 while you were still playing with dolls ok? And I've been there since the beginning, and I can appreciate the changes the band has gone through over the years, both personnel and music wise. And even if I didn't like the new album I wouldn't post it here, that's just looking for a fight. Well you got one. I'm not going anywhere and anytime you write something I'll be there to tear it down.
See ya around DewEY
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=91525
cause even the old folk who... you know... go back with the band to waaaaaay back in the day can get banned on here. Just saying.
Another shout to lucy and pj_gurl, anyone know what they've been upto lately?
Whatever man, try to ban me if you want, but that just proves to me you guys can't handle someone disagreeing with your tripe. It was Dewie who said he was just "pointing out the stupidity in my last statement" which I take exception too because A: I'm far from stupid, especially when it comes to this band
and B: I didn't even write said statement
So, go ahead and try and make me the villain here, all I did was say a little more respect should be shown to the band, which is in the posting guidelines too, and not say crap like the new album blows. So sorry I take exception to that.
