    Obviously the obvious escapes you: he's doing what every other artist/band with new material does: he's showcaseing some of it. You know...in order to get people somewhat familiar and interested in it...

    It's not a brilliant new idea, Cornell didn't invent the concept.

    It falls under the realm of "common sense" and "advertising".

    Ok No Such Thing is the first single in the states and has a music video, so chances are a lot of people will know it, everybody knows You Know My Name cause of Bond, She'll Never Be Your Man has been streaming on his myspace for a few weeks, and who doesn't know the song Billie Jean?!

    Just out of interest, why do you bother posting in these threads, seriously? I can't really see what you must get out of it, you usually make mildly inflammatory remarks about how overrated Cornell is, and that's it. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people expressing their opinions, but it must surely get a little tiresome?

    Mate I'm not sure what you mean about standing corrected? In terms of him playing those songs, they are the ones that people would be familiar with, and I think he just doesn't want to overpower people with all the new stuff before it is all released.

    I have no issue if you want to share your opinion, I'm just trying to understand why you would single out a particular artist who you don't like, and yet for someone you don't like, you seem to put an awful lot of effort into commenting about them. You know, if a Nickleback thread comes up, I'll be the first to say they're shit, but I wouldn't spend my time continuously commenting on them when there are other threads about bands I actually do like.

    the thing is if you were a great reader you would find out that I actually have nothing against cornell as a singer....he has a cool voice but his new solo stuff sucks....he was a legend in soundgarden. People like yourself have to become aware of this.....now...not tommorrow....now! Reunite soundgarden = do not buy his new solo. Yeah that´s my agenda - reunite soundgarden

    lol, if I was to go through all your posts, yeah I'm not quite that bored yet!

    I agree some of his new album aint up to much, but some of it is pretty good. The thing I think you are missing, is that even if he did reunite Soundgarden, he's not the same man he was back then, so it probably wouldn't sound the same as it did anyway. Personally I think it's going to take him a couple more albums as a solo artist before he gets his shit together again and makes another classic. The upside of him being this new happy drug/alcohol free family man, is that he's taking much better care of himself and more importantly his voice, so he's sounding better right now than he has in years.

    That was the best show I have ever been to. 2 1/2 hours!!! Pure joy the entire time. My ears are still buzzing. He was in a great mood as well and seem to really be enjoying himself. Today I went back to work taunting everyone who decided not to go with me and letting them know that they missed something special.
