PJ plays SOUNDGARDEN tunes

So tell me what you guys think...

Let me preface this in saying that I definitely do NOT want them to end up like Velvet Relvolver playing some Guns N Roses tunes and some Stone Temple Pilots tunes... BUT...

I think it would be cool for them to introduce a new cover into there set and it be a Soundgarden tune. Like, it would be totally money if they broke out Pretty Noose or Burden in My Hand or something. It would play homage to Matt and the fans would totally eat that shit up. Ed would KILL the vocals on some of those! Just the occasional cover played equally as often as something like Gimme Some Truth from back in the day.

What do you think?

    I think if they did this, it'd be something Matt wrote. So I nominate Room A Thousand Years Wide. :D

    It'd be cool to hear them cover Hands All Over.

    Not only is it a fucking great riff, but I think it's one of the SG songs Ed would sound good singing. I think Applebite would be good too, but it's too... I don't wanna say slow, but I do think it'd kill the momentum of a PJ show.

    I think its a great idea. Vedder is the best cover singer ever and, after all, Cameron was 1/4 of Soundgarden. Sometimes I'll be jamming SG and think PJ could do this song, but I can't think of which songs those are right now. Mmmmm.... Face Pollution - a great Matt tune and Vedder could go crazy with that one.

    I dont think Ed could handle soundgarden tunes, atleast now. I love PJ much more than SG, but I dont think Ed would sound to great singing outshined or pretty noose. Maybe black hole sun.

    Rusty Cage would be great for Pearl Jam.

    I don't know.. Soundgarden was awesome, but I just can't get into them anymore..

    Off topic, I absolutely, positively, without a fleeting shadow of a doubt, despise Chris Cornell's voice. Nails on a chalboard x1000. It causes me physical pain and nausea to listen to his shrill screeching.

    And on topic.. I see no need for PJ to cover SG.. unless of course they really want to, which seems kind of weird to cover a band from your own era and genre that was as well known, even IF you share the same drummer now. The only way I would understand this behavior was if it was in tribute or if you had a special appearance at one of your shows with another member of SG.. which I truly hope doesn't happen in my presence if that person has the initials CC. I WOULD however sit through a performance of Ed and CC doing Hunger Strike. I would just plug my ears and make child-like "muh muh muh mmmmm" sounds while Chris sang his verses. I think if someone totally lost it during that background screaming he does and choked him to death, any judge/jury/peer would rule the defendant not guilty by reason of SANITY. =)

    Peace
    Just me

    A lot of Soundgarden songs would be hard to sing. I could see 4th Of July. Wouldn't like to see Vedder tryiing to tackle Beyond The Wheel...

    I hope that would never happen. Itв be much better for them to reform which is also out of question.

    Ty Cobb or Jesus Christ Pose would be good choices.

    Lukin > Ty Cobb would be pretty sick.
