Perry F on Lolla--PJ possibly related

The following paragraph is from a Rolling Stone article on the Lolla 10 lineup announcement. It mentions almost not being able to book Soundgarden due to them maybe touring with another band. Apparently Matt might've given thought to doing a double set per show, as not many other bands make sense. Read and speculate away.

Lollapalooza’s other huge coup was snagging Seattle grunge legends Soundgarden to headline, marking the first gig of any kind Chris Cornell and the Superunknown gang have performed since their 1997 breakup. “It was a very tough catch for us,” Farrell says of adding Soundgarden, who announced their reunion on New Year’s Day but have gone silent since. “They were ready then they weren’t ready, then they didn’t know what they were going to do and then they were going to go out with another group to tour. So we were really kind of on edge to secure them and it came down to the wire.” Soundgarden had previously performed on two Lollapalooza circuits when the festival was a roving tour, so Farrell was set on booking them again: “We’re happy that it all worked out and we have the exclusive first comeback show for them.”

    Ok, wait a second...

    So PJ play at least 2 hour shows every night, if not 3! And then, you guys would think that Matt Cameron will play another 2 hours with Soundgarden??? I mean, I'd love to see both bands on the same bill... but let's not push it! The guy might be a great drummer, but he's not a machine either!

  • i think it was AiC
  • Maybe he was referring to Matt playing for both Soundgarden AND Lady Gaga. He does have a pretty good poker face.
