I'm looking to get my NYC tickets at 11 this morning (EST) but I was checking other big cities, and he's not selling out anywhere....in fact, you can get great seats for most of his shows even though they are on sale already.

    also because not everyone thinks he's the second coming of Christ. Its just a few ppl on this forum that put him up on the pedestal and make him a rock god...

    Probably because his new album licks ass.

    Wow, out of no where everyone is bashing him. What the hell? You really think I am going to his show to see his new songs? I saw him at Irving Plaza just a few months ago, and he only played 3 new songs, everything else was Soundgarden, TOTD, and some solo songs. And he sounded fantastic!!

    So much for saying why he doesn't sell out. Tickets for both NYC shows are almost sold out

    Just a transaction that didn't go through so the tickets were thrown back into the pot.

    i'm hopefully going to get ticks to the boston show .. if not new jersey or nyc. i live in ct =/ but first of all i hate all this cornell bashing.. if you don't like him don't make any comment. i see lots of threads of bands i think suck...do i go on there trashing them? no! show some respect..and chris should be up on the pedestal as a "rock god". same goes for you haters of the new album. i think it's fucking fantastic. can't tell you how many times i listened through it already.

    It probably has to do with he can't sing anymore unless in a studio.

    Have you heard him singing live recently? He sounds light years better than he has for years in the studio.

    Maybe you should go see him before you make a statement like that. His voice is clearly back...he sounds 10 years younger, and his voice is spot on for majority of the songs.

    I saw him at Irving and I wasn't expecting anything too great...until I heard how his voice was...BLOWN AWAY

    And 50$ is too much for a ticket? I saw Robert Plant at the Beacon and it was 75$ a ticket, plus its NYC, and you are not paying 20$ at the Beacon. 50$ isn't much at all, it's just as much as a PJ ticket. Most of his shows are in the 30-45$ range too.

    His voice may still have some quality to it, but his songwriting skills are certainly slipping away. I was quite frankly apalled by Carry On. His rendition of Billie Jean makes me want to tear my ears off, and this is coming from someone who LOVES TOTD and Soundgarden, owns every album, LOVES Euphoria Morning, even enjoys to an extent the Audioslave albums. Cornells vocals on Carry On are fine, its the songs themselves. I feel that you could pretty much take any male crooner (Bryan Adams comes to mind), and have them sing these songs without missing a beat. Has it really come down to hearing Cornell being played on 'lite fm' radio stations? Is he yet another middle-aged rockstar who middle-aged women swoon over? Where's the edge? I think Rolling Stone was DEAD ON in their review. He is just another neutered male crooner now, and that is just awfully depressing.

    there is no way bryan adams, jon bon jovi, micheal bolton or any of those losers cold sing songs slike 'killing birds, safe and sound, disappearing act and silence the voices with as much conviction and dexterity as cornell. why dont u actually listen to the album with an open mind before you jump on the cornell bashing bandwagon?

    I'm not jumping on any bandwagon. I honestly feel like Cornell is a wash-up. Carry On IS a generic, bland, mainstream cock-fest. It saddens me, because I was excited about it, and I listened to it with an open mind, but a turd is a turd, no matter how you choose to smell it, and Carry On is a big, fat, corn-filled smelly turd, of gigantic proportions.

    I think what people need to realize is that we are not going there to hear Carry On...even though I support him for his new album, i dislike it. We are going to hear SG, TOTD, even Audioslave....

    I saw him at Irving and it was deff in the top 5 of non-pj shows that I have been to. He played Say Hello 2 Heaven, Seasons, Can't Change Me, Call Me A Dog, Jesus Chris Pose, Rusty Cage, Spoonman, Outshined, Hunger Strike, Jesus Christ Pose, etc etc...I can't remember it all...But 55$ ticket is worth just to hear those songs with the way his voice is now. His voice now is WICKED...He hits every note and doesn't hold back.

    I wish he played Slaves and Bulldozers at Irving...hopefully I'll get that at the Beacon

    in your opinion...

    and you are entitled to feel that way. i just think its fashionable to have a dig at cornell at the moment because hes going his own way and not being burdened by past work. People seem to think he will make totd2 or em part II but its not going to happen.

    The live shows are great, proves his vocal skills alone give him legendary status. if you see him live and still think he's washed up...get your ears tested.

    carry on isnt about keeping the old fans happy, it about moving on, reaching a larger audience. some people get it, others dont. whatever.
