    glad to see everyone on the board is finally coming out of the woodwork and speaking the truth. cornell sucks. he has sucked since soundgarden broke up. i thought soundgarden was descent, but even they were overrated. he's just a wasted talent in my opinion. great voice but nothing more. sorry if you like him, everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine.
    Audioslave had it's moments and Euphoria Morning was gorgeous. He hasn't sucked since Soundgarden. But his new album (from what I've heard which is probably 1/4 of it) is crap :( .

    Soundgarden was incredible.

    Now that the "Cornell got his voice back" kick is dying down and people are speaking objectively about his new work you should chill with the anti soundgarden propaganda too :rolleyes: ;)

    His new band is pretty cool from what I can tell.. I think there are some jazz trained musicians and a top notch guitarist in there. Damn shame. :(
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    i was simply stating my opinion. i'm glad you've formed your own but i don't need to "chill" with anything. i don't like anything he has done since soundgarden. i think tom morello is one of the best guitar players ever, i like rage, i think audioslaves music just sucked. same goes with cornells' new band...i don't know much about them but i don't doubt what you're saying, i'm sure they all can play their instruments just like cornell can sing his ass off. that doesn't mean they are putting out good music. and in my opinion they aren't.

    I meant the collective 'you' as in the anti-cornell movement that was spurred on this board. Seems like for every two people ranting obessively about him there was one person going out of their way to insult him.

    Kind of brought down the other music board ya know?

    edit:

    True.

    I said it before and I will say it again:
    The tickets are too expensive! To see him at the Beacon, it would cost between 300 and 600 dollars for 2 people. Ridiculous. No thank you.

    :confused:

    face value was $40-$70 on ticketmaster.

    add $10 per ticket for TM surcharges and that's still $50-$80 overall.

    I paid $133 for two tickets including charges. That seems about right to me. I think face was $55.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Seriously, when I checked about a month ago, they were in the 200 dollar range for the front. They must have dropped the price. Really. I just looked now and they are really cheap. My bad. Sorry. But that is what I saw. On the site for the Beacon and I was like, no way.

    Carry On is just a depressing album. It's an album I wish I never had to hear. It saddens me to see one of the greats reach this kind of low. "No Such Thing" sounds like Audioslave without any guts. I thought he's was decent with Audioslave and Euphoria Morning was very good. But this new stuff is awful. "She'll Never Be Your Man" is just horrific. Maybe he's after a new audience. Because there's no way his old one is going to enjoy this.

    With that said I can't wait to see him next month in San Francisco. The setlist have been awesome from what I've seen. Hopefully he breaks out "The Day I Tried To Live" at some point during this tour.

    very little early publicity.
    (to answer the original question)

    if you haven't heard him LIVE recently (and listening to a broadcast totally doesn't count) then maybe your 'he's washed up" type comments should have a huge freakin disclaimer "MY OPINION BASED SOLELY ON THE FACT THAT I AM UPSET THIS ISN'T ANOTHER THREAD TALKING ABOUT THE TYPE OF SALAD DRESSING EDDIE VEDDER WOULD BE" written above it.

    If you don't like Carry On, then that is also your opinion - i doubt it has any bearing on why cornell isn't selling out. (it didnt effect riot act era ticket sales, did it??)

    His publicist isn't pushing for a whole lot of notice - and unless you are on his website you prolly wouldnt know when he will be in your area.



    thank you. that is all.

    I wish I never heard it either, such a disappointment. I saw him in live in Bmore though and he was awesome!

    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.

    The first Audioslave cd was ok...but after that was a flop.
    Euphoria Morning was good but Carry on is Horrible.

    I liked Cornell a lot but there isn't one song on Carry on that i really want to listen to again.

    Live he is tragic.

    I think I know what you are referring to
    thats not the beacon
    when you search for the beacon in google it takes you to a scalper site designed to make you think its a "new york theater" page

    its not

    beacon tix were $55+, except for the first 25 rows, which were $70+


    That being said, cornell was always on of my favorite singers, and I really dig soundgarden. I dont really have very high expectations for the show, but Im looking forward to hearing him sing live for the first time. Im glad he is touring so I get this chance. Really dont care very much about his new record. Just another rock show in NYC.
