WRONG.WRONG.WRONG. You're ALL wrong.

THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS !!! Truly epic, life affirming joyous news regarding one THE finest bands to emerge in the last 20yrs !!!

How could anyone be unhappy or indifferent to this happening ?? SOUNGARDEN'S output and body of work was outstanding. Flawless. Each album bettered and trumped the previous one (with the exception of "Upside").

SUPERUNKNOWN, creatively speaking, matches ANYTHING that has been recorded in the last 15yrs, by any band or artist, any place. Period.

Let's not forget, historically speaking, Soundgarden were one of the true and original pioneers of the "Seattle" scene and without these guys ( and associated bands Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog), there would most likely be NO PEARL JAM, as we know and love.

We owe SOUNDGARDEN a huge debt of gratitude.

p.s. AUDIOSLAVE were totally fucking awesome. Saw them in 2004 and they kicked Dublin's ass.

p.p.s. Matt Cameron's drumming style suits Soungarden much better than PJ and has committed to playing live shows with Soungarden, so what does that mean for PJ ?? After next summer mini-tour : Another Ed solo project ?? Stone goes solo ? Brad ? Satchel ? The beginning of the END ??

I agree with almost everything you said here.

Expect for your question the future of PJ....that is where I feel a little differently. Definitely not the beginning of the end. I am quite suer that if Soundgarden was to be another long term deal, they would have never broken up in the first place. They are getting back together for fun, for the fans, to promote the re-release of their back catalog. There hasn't even been any mention of a new record or anything. I seriously wouldn't hold your breath about Soundgarden being a long term reunion. And even if it is to be a long term deal, there is plenty of off time from the PJ world for Matt to be both bands full time drummer. And what a career Matt has carved out for himself.

EDIT: oh yeah, that is quite a stretch to say we owe Soundgarden anything for the creation of Pearl Jam. Soundgarden had absolutely nothing to do with the formation of Pearl Jam. Let's not have revisionist history here.

Matt Cameron is a lucky Motherf***** :shock: ... has 2 awesome jobs...

he would be playing for Pearl Jam and Soundgarden in 2010!!! awesome!!!

I think Matt will stay with PJ, he has been with them longer than he was with Soundgarden! If he did leave too bad STP reunited as I always liked Eric Kretz !

Revisionist history?

FACT #1: Temple of The Dog was a tribute project to Andy Wood that Chris Cornell started and per Jeff and Stone's admission, got them thinking about playing music again.

FACT #2: After Chris' invitation to Stone and Jeff, they contacted Mike to join them as well. During this time, Matt recorded drums for what would be the first "Ten"demos.

FACT #3: Once Stone, Jeff, and Mike realized they wanted to continue making music and form a new band after TOTD, they needed a drummer and singer. They contacted Jack Irons to play drums, but since leaving the RHCP, he had joined Eleven. He did however mention a singer from San Diego... "Crazy Eddie".

FACT #4: "Crazy Eddie" went to Seattle, the boys found themselves a drummer (or "drummers"

), and Pearl Jam was born.

So you see, while Soundgarden itself as a single entity may not have been directly responsible for the creation of Pearl Jam, at least 2 of it's members and their friendship/connection with PJ's founding members certainly played a part in it's eventual inception, which doubtfully would be the band it is today had certain events not taken place.

That said...I'm very stoked with this news.
Whatever happens, happens, and the possibility to hear new music and see them live is a godsend. If you don't believe me, just turn on any FM radio station...

Download would be a good one for them too. It is a 'solid' rumour (as solid as rumours can be!). TCV also rumoured for download.

SpinTheBlackCircle74 · January 2010

Tickets Download :-)

Early bird tickets are no longer on sale. Normal tickets are due on sale at the end of January when the festival makes an announcement.
