I'm Sittin' In A Magic Hat/with Smoke And Mirrors/tire Rubber Fires, Watch Me Disappear...

VEDHEAD27 · September 2005

Hell yeah ThumbingMyWay310, that show was soooo incredible. I am just in AW of how these guys (and this voice) keeps getting better and better. A-mazing!

Traffic? Damn that sucks! We actually ended up taking BART...got there pretty early. Caught 30 Seconds to Mars (holy fuck Jared+that style+eyeliner :eek:!!) ..but anyways, I'm sure you're a guy so I'll spare ya on that.

haha. Meddledeal and I were both very impressed with their energy. They were all soooo into it. Quite infectious. A very different sound and definitely a different vibe. It really drew us in. The crowd was way disrespectful to them though imo. Jared was getting kinda annoyed with the snore-fest and at one point even jumped down INTO the front of the crowd where we all were and was singing as he walked through us all... an attempt to get some excitement flowin. He was making comments about how this wasn't a Celine Dion concert and for people to wake the fuck up. ha! We couldn't believe how incredibly lifeless everyone was. Aww he was also giving Audioslave MAJOR lovin...saying how he was honored to share the same stage with one of the "greatest bands on the planet" and how all of them were huge fans!

FUCK YEAH! Seriously, people were really not feelin them at all though. I thought they put on a good show. It was SEETHER that was literally making me and Meddledeal yawn non-stop. :eek: Damn, sorry guys...even if the bass AND guitar player had the stickman on their instruments (thumbs up for that!)....there are 100+ bands out there that sound exactly like these guys. :rolleyes: But ANYWAYS...haha...hopefully your friend enjoyed them. The crowd was loving the shit outta them it seemed. I guess Meddle and I were the outcasts during 30 Seconds To Mars and Seether.

But hey, we all came together for AUDIOSLAVE & and that's all that really matters!

What a show!! OMG see I'm so outta it I forgot to mention HUNGER STRIKE!! What a "holy shit" moment that was. DAMN! BRAD on vocals too?!!! I remember reading that it was gonna be Timmy. This band is SO full of surprises. Jesus! Sounded sooooo good. And once again, the mighty pipes are nailing every single note.

{{SOUNDGARDEN}} songs too?! \m/ I can't get over it. We get everything! Ahhhh what an amazing time to be a fan I tell ya.

OH, after seeing him quite a few times from a distance after shows but never making my way up to the front.... I finally got to met Tom and shake the badass man's hand!! Told him "Thank you"...in which he replied "Thank YOU very much"

How cool is that? Unreal. That guy kicks major ass.

As he said himself awhile back, this is one hell of a "SUPER DUPER" group.

<~~ repeat mode in serious effect

BUMP it up as I sit here crying at work. This song never fails to do it. One of the greatest SG/CC songs EVER! That intro?! Immediately tuggin at your heart. This drum roll is incredible too, shaking you up right from the start. God & how amazingly perfect is this guitar?? So crystal clear. Gorgeous and gentle. Chris's "whooo"ing?! The voice is SO damn gorgeous it moves people to tears!!! Damn! When he pours out that chorus especially I just can't contain myself. Oh the power! It's just not of this world. Bottom line.

Ahhh & these words are so fuckin deep/heartfelt. So much emotion in this one. Feel it SO, SO much. There are really no words can do this song any kind of justice so I'm just gonna stop trying.

*heart caves in*
*bows down to.....

ø ZERO CHANCE ø

I think I know the answer
I stumbled on and all the world
Fell down
And all the sky went silent
Cracked like glass and slowly
Tumbled to the ground
They say if you look hard
You'll find your way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone

I'm thinking of your highness
And crying long upon the loss
I've found
And on the plus and minus
Zero chance of ever
Turning this around

Why doesn't anyone believe
In loneliness
Stand up and everyone will see
Your holiness

Why doesn't anyone believe
In loneliness
Stand up and everyone will see
Your holiness

They say if you look hard
You'll find your way back home
Born without a friend
And bound to die alone

Aww Chuckie!!! I hear ya! I can't express it either that's why I'm just givin up. LOL! It's literally beyond any kind of words. PERFECT is definitely one that comes way close to summing it up though.

Awww you think of me?

Thank you!! Really I am SO in love with that song & I knew you would be too. Oh god....I , too, would definitely be a goner if I heard it live!!!!! But really...I can totally hear AS doing this song can't you? It just compliments their style so much I think. Hearing their slower sogns and then listening to this I'm like YES! YES! YES! Let's DO IT! Well hey, the band is seriously full of surprises so I'm never gonna quit dreaming or rule out the possibility...even though it would be lethal, what a way to go.

hey, U KNOW what i like and i completely trust U with your taste in music. my Down On The Upside cd has special meaning. i can remember going straight to that song and it was immediately loved. YES...I CAN SEE AS PLAYING THIS SONG AND IT WOULD BE A DREAM. i want to happen for U. i think we may need to make a sign in LB so they play it in Vegas. it COULD happen. anything is possible, U KNOW that.

VEDHEAD27 · September 2005

Awww thanks for trusting my taste. That CD is very special.

Straight to #3 and straight to heaven. *floats away*

Anything IS possible. I definitely know that. Loooove the sign idea. I'm fuckin ON IT!!!! Why can I hear in my head Chris seeing it and saying "there's ZERO CHANCE that's gonna happen?"

But yeah....doesn't hurt to try. Never gonna let go of that hope or give up the dream.

Also, BUMP this up with some *super special* CC lovin. For those that haven't heard it PLEASE go check out {{Heart of Honey}} ASAP!!!! A never before released track of CORNELL with Eleven.

*heart melts into honey*

I know it's surprising but that is seriously one hell of drop-dead gorgeous, super sweet song. I love the picture it paints. So colorful. The music fits the holy voice perfectly. God! That chorus?!! *chills all over* Are you people hearing that?! This voice was delivered from above. Going straight to my soul. What an absolute blessing!

Deeve · October 2005

5 Words for you all.

"The Day I Tried To Live"

This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded, plain and simple. Cornell is awesome. As great as, but different than, Vedder. And I am not even remotely gay, but Cornell is hot.

Hot is an understatement. I've been stuck on the the first album for about a week. Shadow of the Sun and I Am the Highway kick ass. LOVE Chris Cornell. mmm mmmm.

HA!!! I fuckin love it!!!

Seriously though, guy...girl...what the hell ever, you just cannot even deny the fact that this man is smokin hot!!!!!!!

The Day I Tried To Live is such a phenomenal song! That intro?!

Really, SG was such a unique sound. I can't get over it. And come on, when Chris hits this chorus!!! :eek: This voice is fuckin mind-blowing. I'll never understand how the hell he does it.

Nice vmfury! Both of those are amazing songs for sure. I AM THE HIGHWAY is a classic. I'll never tire of it's beauty. Those words take my breath away.

Oh and SHADOW?!! When he hits that "Every drop of flame" part?!!? :eek:

:eek:

There really is just SO much to love with this man. He can do NO wrong!

El Riot Actor · October 2005

I support Chris Cornell!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Before I go on about Chris, can I just tell you how freakin' awesome you are?! I love the passion that you speak with about everything, and everything you like, songs, and such, you just take the words out of my mouth! All the portions of the songs or songs in general I love as well. You are absolutely awesome!

On another note, all I can say is that everything, regardless of how his voice sounds, is absolutely perfect in it's own way. His voice has the ability to send those eerie chills down your spine, whether it be with those ear-splitting screams, or a low soothing voice. It is something fair few musicians can do. Everything he touches is gold, and his lyrics..either they be dripping with sarcasm; abstract; or seemingly straightforward, even though at the same time as complex and mind bending as ever, he never fails to amaze me. Chris is purely phenomenal in every which way. Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Solo, or Audioslave, he is always at his best.

VEDHEAD27 · October 2005

Right on El Riot Actor!!!

But.....AWWWWWW!!!

*HUGS reachdown12*

There is so much beauty going on up in this thread!!! I can't stand it!! *explodes* That is so crazy...as soon as I saw your name as the last one that responded...I didn't even know what you had posted yet but I was coming in here to tell YOU how awesome YOU are. hehe.

Too much.

Thank you so much for those sweet ass words. Seriously. From the bottom of the CC/SG/AS/PJ lovin heart.

It means so much. I'm just really taken back right now.

Thank you.

I definitely am SUPER SUPER passionate about the things I love. I don't see any other way to be. There ain't no half-assed lovin goin on over here that's for damn sure. Anyways, thanks again. I'm touched. And YOU my friend are absolutely AWESOME as well. Such great taste I tell ya.

allthoseyesterdays · October 2005

VEDHEAD, you crazy girl. I love the write up. Thanks for getting me back into audioslave!

bry

VEDHEAD27 · October 2005

Thanks!

Good call with the BUMP Bry...and you are VERY welcome for getting you back into Audioslave. Hey, it's...what I do. :cool: haha.

I cannot WAIT to see AS next month!!!!

This band really is so on it and this catalogue of songs is to die for. SG?! :eek: *dies*

Ah...and I can't express how grateful I am that they are playing GETAWAY CAR a LOT these days!!!

I'm crossing my fingers that we get it in Long Beach or Vegas. The song owns a huge part of me and there's a missing spot in my CC lovin heart that will be completley full after witnessing that insanely gorgeous song live.

*says a prayer to the AS gods*

I also wouldn't mind hearing this beeeeautiful one that's been getting often acoustic play......

Just a guitar and THE VOICE?!?!?

º≠THE CURSE≠º

Help me I don't know what I'm doin
Help me before I fall to ruin
And if I'm blind, I will lead you on
Come follow me now, before our time is gone

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck and never your curse

Help me I don't know what I'm saying
Sometimes this tongue can be betraying
And if I'm wrong, is that such a crime?
And if you want, you can set my words to right

And as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck

And if your eyes forget to well
And if your lies forget to tell
And if our paths forget to cross
It doesn't mean you're lost

So as you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck

If you're laughing at this fool tonight
Let me rid myself of any line that I might use to trip you up
And as I'm howling at the moonlight, don't you kid yourself
I will be your luck
Cause even at my worst
I will be your luck
never be your curse

The voice continues confuse me with it's very existence.Unfuckin REAL!

*bows down*

smarchee · October 2005

I'm curious, how long does it take you to go from a show in San Fran area to Vegas ??? I think the longest distance I have travelled to a show is 3 1/2 hours by car. But seriously, if you go from San Fran area to Vegas to see a show :O

awesome

GoingToLukins · October 2005

Chris Cornell called me a bitch yesterday.

Aren't I so cool?

VEDHEAD27 · November 2005

BEAUTY BUMP for the voice that continues to paint my life with such beeeautiful, untouchable, radiant colors.

Man, we really are sooooo incredibly blessed as soon as this man opens his mouth.

GoingToLukins, wtf? haha.

smarchee, already responded to you in a PM.

VEGAS baby! WOOO!!! Ahhh I cannot fuckin WAIT!! It's soooo close.

15 more days! :eek: The last show of the tour too & sharing it with very special AS/CC/SG friends.

Man, that is gonna be one HELL of an amazing experience!!!!!

AHHH, and they recently/finally unleashed SLAVES & BULLDOZERS as promised!!!! HELL YES!!!

\m/ Damn! This catalogue is just getting more and MORE kick ass (just like the band themselves

). It really is beyond exciting and makes the anticipation for any upcoming shows even greater.

Sooo, I recently read and interview with Chris about AS covering SG songs. For anyone that hasn't seen it...

***********************************************************************

Are there any Soundgarden songs you would not play or anything Rage that is off limits since you are mixing in those songs into your sets?

CC : Thus far we have only done Soundgarden songs I wrote all the music for. That started out mainly because I thought it might feel a little weird. You can't replace Kim or Ben or Matt. I felt like if we're going to do a Soundgarden song I would prefer it be something I wrote because I feel closer to it and less like I am taking it out of the context of Soundgarden. At this point I feel like the fans as well as the ex-member of Soundgarden should feel like it is a tribute, because that's what it is really.

***********************************************************************

Aww a tribute!

Totally respectable indeed...but SHIT! After reading that I guess there really is zero chance of hearing ZERO CHANCE! *cries* Ah well...there are still a TON of JUST CC songs that I would LOOOOOOOVE to hear. This is definitely one of them (below). I remember the first time I heard this one, I just could NOT get over it. I must have repeated it 100+ times. haha. Really though...it's absolutely gorgeous. Just this voice and a gorgeous guitar!! WOW! That is really all I need. These words are breath taking as well. LOOOOOVE this beauty.......& when he hits that chorus?!!?!? :eek:

*knees give out* *heart sinks*

*SOOOO much love for~~~~>

~∫EA∫ONS~

Summer nights and long warm days
Are stolen as the old moon falls
My mirror shows another face
Another place to hide it all
Another place to hide it all

And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

Sleeping with a full moon blanket
Sand and feathers for my head
Dreams have never been the answer
And dreams have never made my bed
Dreams have never made my bed

And I'm lost, behind
The words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

Now I wanna fly above the storm
But you can't grow feathers in the rain
And the naked floor is cold as hell
This naked floor reminds me
Oh the naked floor reminds me

And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by

If I should be short on words
And long on things to say
Could you crawl into my world
And take me worlds away
Should I be beside myself
And not even stay

And I'm lost, behind
Words I'll never find
And I'm left behind
As seasons roll on by
