Ha! Awesome. Now why do I think Cornell was somehow responsible for that too?

So, everyone calling him a douchebag is somehow a free pass? If so, I'll pay for mine. I love your heroic integrity and judgmental nature, but why do I think you don't know the first thing about being a musician or being in a band?

This is a crazy new world as far as music goes and artists everywhere are trying to figure out the best way to offset the rapidly declining album sales. Henry Rollins has done fashion ads, why don’t I ever hear people bitching about that? Nobody questions his integrity.

Look, I may not agree with every decision Chris makes, but as a fan I am prone to giving him the benefit of the doubt. You, on the other hand, act like he took a dump in your Cheerios and cheated on your mom by sleeping with your sister. You sound like some spoiled 10 year old with a ridiculously misplaced sense of entitlement. Guess what, he’s not your puppet and for sheer entertainment value alone, I hope he keeps pissing you off.

I think you went way to easy on me, considering your last 20 posts have been nothing but sarcastic remarks in just about every conversation with like 20 differant fans on here.Go check.
Why does the standard have to be me being a musican, or in a band, to have a negative opinion.
He is out there trying to reach new fans, he has to expect critisicsm from his old. Thats entertainment.
Its like this.

Gee let me walk around and act like some serious musican, and let old bands die becasue they are to commercial.
Than 10 years later tour with lincoln park and use timbaland as a producer.

I understand my views are way left side. But to act like what he is doing is a step foward, man that is a huge stretch.
Not many musicians get away with this shit, and from the look of it Chris hasnt been. He has went backwards since Audioslave. I appreciate your patronage towards though.

He probably wants to bring the "balls" back to RAWK AND ROLL \M/ \M/

I heard some other tough guy knucklehead who still hadn't got over the SG split literally say, "I haven't been able to listen to Chris since he put a shirt on."

WTF?

Yeah okay. Go get some more posts locked, you two are a pair of balls.

I liked Chris when he was creative.
You are promting his touring with a group that has a dj.

I saw him on just about every tour he did, his last was horrible, and this is the way he rebounds.

I saw him on the last tour as well and he was spot fucking on, not to mention the brilliant backing band. Face it, you got your panties in a twist for leaving a mediocre AS band and rather than pull them out of your ass-crack you just let them burrow deeper and deeper.

You guys have every right to think this is a good idea for Chris.
For some reason my views are vastly differant, and so is the crowd I hang in, becasue alot of my fire comes from conversations with them.

I saw the dc show, the philly show and the ac show.
I was not impressed.
Maybee it was the music, or the covers, I dont know but I went with people from this board and we all kinda felt the same way.

I will agree with your point in him bailing on Audioslave, my panties were torn off and ripped, his album didnt help much, I went without panties until the shows. Maybee I was burned out from everything.

Alright, I am going to tone this down a notch. Why would you go to 3 different shows if you weren't impressed? I'd think after the first, and for sure after the 2nd, you would stop going. I am a musician and hang in music circles and while a lot of my friends have a similar intolerence of solo Chris, they were still very stoked after seeing his tour and new band. Maybe, that's just because he sang the living shit of Slaves and Bulldozers and they didn't think he could...

Hope, I guess.
I love Chris, I am 37 not a mullethead in any fashion. He has had an up and down career live, he is a supertalent.
I just laugh at some of the stuff he does and I guess I take it to seriously. I hang with musicians and play drums, not in a band nor am I good enough. But they tell me drummers never make any sense anyway.
The guitar player from buck cherry I thought sucked.
My expectations were prob too high after catching the tail end of the last Audioslave tour.
He was on fire there, if you saw it wouldnt you agree.
He sounded better than any other time I saw him with SG. I was shocked he jumped ship, and than we stand here.
Are you happy with timbaland, and Lincoln Park and this new direction.

Yogi is widely known as a six-string guitar slinging whiz in L.A. music circles and there is no shortage of great guitar players in that music scene. Not at all a fan of Buckcherry but Yogi is hugely talented. Plus, as they became more familiar with the songs, the band became tighter and better.

As far as that other stuff. I don't know. I wish he would tour with PJ, but I won't hold it against him if he doesn't. I haven't always liked the bands PJ has toured with either. I honestly think the Timbaland thing might surprise some folks, but I do know that if you go into a record expecting to hate it, you almost always will. I'll wait before I rush to judgement.

Yeah you make good points.

It does make sense, if Ed did shit like this he would be a sell out.

I mentioned this earlier, but Ed DID do this shit. I just don't understand how such a huge PJ fan could talk down on Cornell for playing with Linkin Park when PJ did the same thing. Look here:

That sucks,and I feel even more foolish, but it is what it is. But its not that Im such a huge pj fan that I am dissing on Cornell. I guess its everyhting combined. I just automatically assumed from this thread, that he was doing multiple shows and marketing it. Most of beef was his last album fresh out of Audio's tour. And his endicisive decision making at times.

Anybody else notice that Cornell's hair is getting a bit longer? I saw a picture of him the other day and didn't even know it was him right away.

Dude, I'm not sure which tour you were watching. The Denver show he did was amazing.

I thought he was opening for Denim Dan not Linkin Park.

gtrplyr · April 2008

I don't understand what the problem with Timbaland is. The man IS a good producer and I don't know where everyone is getting the idea that Cornell is going hip-hop.

As for touring with Linkin Park. Honestly, I can't blame him. He gets to play rigth before the headliner to 25,000 people a night instead of 2,500 like he has been doing. I really can't fault him for that.

IMO, Audioslave was garbage. I'm glad he's solo and doing what he wants. I saw his lst tour and was very impressed. Of course, I hadn't seen him with SG, only Audioslave before that.
