oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
"I wanted to get out and do some special shows for fans, where it's just the new record and introducing that live, which isn't really the first time I've done that," he said. "With Euphoria Morning, I played pretty much nothing but my first album for the first tour, and with the first Audioslave record, we toured for a year and did nothing but that record. This is also a very special record."
Cornell will not be playing any tracks from his previous offerings on this brief Verizon Wireless-sponsored West Coast run, which wraps in his hometown of Seattle November 2. Cornell plans on playing the entire LP, from the first note to the last, without any pauses between songs.
"This album, I think, needs to be performed from beginning to end, because on the record, once the music starts, it never stops," he explained. "So it's literally a situation where you start playing the record from the first song, and it's just an hour's worth of music that keeps going until it's done, and it's something that's difficult to present in this day and age. Everything is sound bites and one song at a time, and people sort of downloading one song at a time, and more than any album I've ever made, this is an album that's really designed to be listened to from beginning to end, in one sitting.
"I think the smartest thing for me to do is go out and perform it that way, so people get it, because people haven't really understood that yet," Cornell continued. "I've been talking about it in interviews, and people need to understand that it's a different thing. Musically, definitely, it's a departure, not only for me but maybe for anybody. People are asking me what kind of music it is, and there's no real answer for that."
I can read a few things into this:
1. Timbaland can't be fucked to waste his time with CC performing his other material, so puppet Chris only gets to perform Scream.
2. It's really, really easy to lip-sync an album when it's just played straight-on through. Less a concert, more a cd listening party.
3. It's a special album alright, in that helmet-special kind of way.
4. What kind of music is it? Why that's easy to answer: shite.
1:What's next,CC singing with Lil Wayne? I can't imagine my reaction if that ever happen. I am already shocked that he is gonna be doing R and B songs that all the kids in my class are gonna be singing because they like rap and R and B.
2:He's gonna be doing this with Timbaland? Oh God.
