Listened to SOLAT from the swedish gig at Moderna Museet in Sweden (great show). Then I put on SOLAT from Milan 2006 and my friend turned to me and said "do you have fast-forward on?".

I always felt it was fast, but I was so used to the newer boots that I was used to the fast versions of corduroy and solat etc.

But now when I listened to them "back to back" it sounded redicilous. It actually felt like it was fast-forwarded. Really weird.

    solat is the song which shows the biggest differences in the was dave a played and the way matt cam plays. gimme dave a's version anytime. used to be my favorite song.... so much energy... so much urgency. now it's a song i skip on recent boots 1100% of the time.

    i just listened to both of those versions back to back and i couldn't agree more. i really don't understand why they play the 'fast forward' live versions.

    Yeah, I expect stuff to have a little extra juice live, but some of the songs are just toooooooo fast.


    GTF comes to my mind first.

    I blame this all on Ed. He's got a boner for stuff played fast.

    Listen to "Around the Bend" or "Drifting" from his solo shows. Slow ... down ... bro. These are supposed to be slow songs.

    on corduroy, the increased speed takes away from the build up of the song and loses some of that feeling that goes along with it.

    I currently have a huge fixation on SOLAT redux version. So slow and angst-filled. It just sounds awesome!!

    Thats a good point, i havent really thought of that. Ed does like alot of punk rock so that makes sense. And if you really think about it, Matt typically doesnt play fast songs. a good 60-75% of soundgarden songs are medium, slow paced. Same with the songs he wrote for the band, In The Moonlight, You Are, and also Rhodes Jam from harrybu mccage. Matt seems to like playing slow. I mean im sure he is responsible for playing fast live for certain songs, but it probably is also Ed.

    THE BEST. I love the beginning when Ed yells what I assume is "It's On!" Then the guitar comes in, so good.

    drop in the park speed matches up to the speed of the 08 shows

    I thought Ed starts it off saying, "'cuz I'm..."

    I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but that's what I hear.

    the redux SOLAT brings me back to the demo versions of Alive, Animal, etc. that Stone had funny names for even before Ed came on...Dollar Short and Weird A?
