    Lydia! Good times were had, eh? Yeah, I it's been two weeks but I keep thinking about !

    Chris sounded awesome that night and don't forget "Scream for me, Long BEEAACH!!!!!!" I love those men!!

    Sen, I agree that the pit was bad!! That's the only time I've ever been pulled out of an AS pit (been up fron for 13 shows). The back of my legs were black with 8 inch long bruises. One poor girl and a security guard got a cup of piss thrown on them. Bunch of college jocks there just to get drunk and fight.

    Other than that, the show was still great. Hearing Chris sing "The Redemption" song and dedicating it to my other favorite AS member, Tom, was a real highlight.

    Can't wait to do the whole thing over next year with you, Lydia!
  • Time for a BUMP!!

    I was, yet again, listening to the amazing workings of the compilation well-known as Badmotorfinger, and still, I cannot praise it enough!! The intensity of the chemistry flowing throughout Jesus Christ Pose, the screams, the Badass Kim Thayil himself shredding the opening to New Damage..I can't get enough! As perfect as this album is in it's own, all it does is leave you begging for more! Nothing but praise for this monumental band. Long live Soundgarden!

    Yes! Good call with the bumpin action my friend. :D{{SG!!!}} It almost hurts how untouchably out of this world AMAZING that band is. Yep, this is a unique, fierce, ass kickin sound that will forever live on. Kim Thayil is the MAN! These chunky riffs will forever rock my life! SUCH an undeniable BAD ASS. Badmotorfinger is beyond classic. Just like this voice, that album and SG ...the praise is never-ending. I was actually just bumpin them today myself. ;) Again, good call.

    Wow, there's so much to respond to up in here for a change? :eek: haha.

    First off, as usual, beautiful reply reachdown12. That last paragraph was perfectly summed up! And yes...it was an amazing experience..so glad I can spread that "holy shit!" disbelief and amazement onto you. haha. :D I still can't get over that Long Beach experience/set...every time I think about it, nothing but huuuuuge smiles chills. Those videos!? My god. :eek: You are soooo welcome. I know. I can't wait to do it all again. Seriously, they are all in tip, TOP shape! It's amazing. Just like another band I know!!! :D;) See, this is why this dual DREAM tour neeeeeds to happen! Oh and I think we should meet in some random halfway state and experience a fuckin show together!!! :eek: That is another thing that NEEDS to happen. ;)


    SEN...haha, my bad. This IS a Cornell thread though so don't be too surprised. ;) Hey Brad rocks serious ass though. I can't deny that. Of course, yes I admit, I am way partial to these pipes as they get me like nothing else and reign superior. But yeah, other than vocals&lyrics, drums have ALWAYS stood out to me. Brad definitely brings it!!!! I fuckin looooooooove his marching action on the title track. UGH! Brilliant. Yep yep..I know all too well what you mean about the "HATEFLOW PIT". LOL! Love the title. HA...aww that is probably why Tom recognized me ya think? Well hey, even with protection it was pretty hard to move at times. And yes, I am very grateful for the nice guy that kept his end of the bargain in protecting some people. Hey..I booked that months in advance. haha. For real...ever since I had a bodyguard at the AS show in Sac last May NEVER again will I be up front without one. ;) That SUCKS about the mighty McCREADY SHIRT! OMG! What in the FUCK! That's a serious outrage right there. I'd sue!

    Awww Dana! *hugs&smiles* Good times indeed (major understatement)! Thanks again SO much for everything (another major understatement) I'm still surprised you guys got pulled outta that pit. That says a lot right there. OOoh yeah, "Scream for me, Long BEEAACH!!!!!!" LOL! That was classic.:D Chris was sooo lovin it up with that crowd. He was just blown away by us. The amazement comes full circle it seems. I must say...those WERE some pretty loud ass sing alongs. :D "Redemption song" dedicated to Tom. Just added to the beauty for sure. :o YAY! I can't wait to do it again as well! 2006 is gonna be a super amazing musical year.

    *sigh*

    This voice and all the insanely beautiful packages it comes in. Damn! How blessed are we???

    HAIL HAIL the mighty CORNELL! :D

  • omg!! BUMMPPP!!!

    I've been listening to my Soundgarden/Chris Cornell B-sides and demos, etc. and wow, effin amazing! Great covers and songs that never made albums..Come Together, Karaoke, Angel of Fire, Blind Dogs, Christi, Homicidal Suicidal, Into the Void, Ave Maria, Nowhere But You, Stolen Prayer, and so much more. They are all so incredible in their own way. If anyone ever comes across these songs, give em a listen, purely worth the time. Phenomenal. Once more I will say I can never praise Chris or this band so much. The praising shall always carry on. :D

    ***THE BIGGEST/OVERDUE BUMP EVER****

    7 months?!?! :eek: AHHH! Ok that is just unacceptable! haha.
    Well hey, PJ was touring the states so I guess it's acceptable to an extent. ;)Regardless though, just like you said reachdown12...the praise shall always carry on. And that it has despite the fact that thing hasn't been BUMPED in ages. :D

    I thought today would be the perfect time to dust this LOVE thread off. The release of Revelations. Well no surprise here, Chris continues to confuse the hell outta me with his untouchable greatness. :o This voice??? There's nothing else like it and there never will be.

    UNTIL WE FALL! This song is straight up heaven. I must post the acoustic version in here....

    MY...GOD! So much beauty! This song has really attached itself to me. Our golden one is shining very bright here.
    And please let's not even discuss those cargo shorts and flip flops!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:p haha.

    Oh speaking of his immortal gorgeousness.....

    Sweet Sweet Euphoria!! If those eyes don't just pierce directly through your soul then....well...you must not have a one. How is this possible???? The man is TOO BEAUTIFUL. It's a little absurd really! haha. I swear he's superhuman in so many countless ways.


    Ooooo ooooo ooo...and I cant' remind myself of it enough~~~~>NEW SOLO CHRIS CD IN THE WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D That's honestly one of the greatest things I've ever heard. I CAN'T WAIT for that already guaranteed masterpiece. AHHH and a TOUR TOO?!?!? :eek:!!!!!!!!!!

    It's already been said but it can't be said enough...
    CHRIS CORNELL~~>THANK FUCK YOU EXIST!

  • Good call Lydi!!! Perfect day to bump this thread.
    I picked up the new album. Haven't listened yet, but I've read the lyrics and holy shit they gave me goosebumps!! This man just knows how to write what I feel. Dayum!

  • Thank you for bumping this one. Jesus, there's too much Audioslave/SG/CC in this board. And I guess if you want more of these appreciation things there's about 300+++ pages of that in the forum of audioslaved.com .

    BTW, Chris is amazing.

    I stood alone and watched myself fall apart
    Answered the voices in my head
    Slipped through the chain link of a broken heart

    When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
    Spread the wings upon your back
    Take us high above it all
    Stroke your feathers until we fall

    Back down again

    But everything that's any good
    I understand that I've been misunderstood
    When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
    Spread the wings upon your back
    Take us high above it all
    Stroke your feathers until we fall

    Until we fall, until we fall
    Back down again

    Yeah, back down again

    Do you see before you blink
    Do you feel before you think
    Who do you battle in your dreams
    Who strokes your feathers until you scream

    When I'm tired and I'm feeling black
    Spread the wings upon your back
    Take us high above it all
    Stroke your feathers until we fall

    Until we fall, until we fall
    Back down again

    Yeah, back down again

    Nothing more needs to be added.:eek::)

    Wicked enjoyed that, the funny thing was I left it playing after BHS finished and it played the new Distubed vid directed by the DTE guy and then it played Life Wasted which I thought was cool.:)
    Unfortunatly since then its played Matishyau and Korn:(

    sorry, I don´t have that.
    But Chris just did another acoustic session for BBC radio, and apparently he played 11 songs! So, let´s wait and see if The Curse is one of them!

    The Black Hole Sun thing starts at 4:16, and I didn't expect it. :D Except for a little hoarseness, his voice is tops in this performance.
