Soundgarden Reunion

[Audio of Being]

Earlier this month Chris Cornell joined Pearl Jam on stage for Hunger Strike.

 

According to fans Chris was able to hit the high notes like he did before in the 90s.

 

Rumors state that Kim Thyil and Ben Shepheard was there as well to talk to Matt about a possible reunion.

[here is no why]

if this comes true, i may cry.

 

i've been waiting for this since i started getting into music. it needs to happen!

[Devil On Rollerskates]

This sounds like an exciting possibility, but at the same time if it were to happen Pearl Jam would (once again) be looking for a new drummer.

[Audio of Being]

This would be a one time deal I would think.

 

Matt is much to happy being in Pearl Jam.

[bishopx]

I think it would be awesome if it happens. After that shitbag of an album he made with Timbaland, Cornell needs this. I think it'll happen after the PJ tour if it were to happen.

[Audio of Being]

I really don't think it will happen soon due to the fact 2010 is the 20 year anniversary of Pearl Jam as a band.

[ccf23]

I've given up hope on Cornell after Scream.

 

Fucking hell.

[mrs jesus]

i like scream.

[here is no why]

It will only be one tour probably, if it happens at all. Pearl Jam won't stop or get a new drummer. Matt is their drummer for good now, i'm pretty sure.

[mrs jesus]

i'll never understand the need to post the very same thing someone else has already posted a few scrolls up.

Sometimes people don't read everything on teh Internets.

 

I know I don't!

[mrs jesus]

gomo. i'm talking about here is no why saying the same thing audio said. IN THIS THREAD THAT IS NOT EVEN 2 PAGES LONG.

[ccf23]

i like scream.

 

How unfortunate.

[mrs jesus]

if you say so. i'm glad chris decided to branch out and do something different and unexpected. it's called being a musician.

Whatever you say.

[Audio of Being]

Well talk of a reunion here turn into who is a bigger douche fest in here.

[bishopx]

I have no issue with any musician branching out...I just have issues with them not staying true to themselves.

But dude, Timbaland is so rock and roll...I mean look at this dude, he screams authenticity:

 

 

...and the album cover, Cornell is such a rock star OMG HE'S SMASHING A GUITAR:

 

 

Describing the album as a whole, Cornell compared it to Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon and Queen's A Night at the Opera

 

;)

 

How you can go from something so brilliant and raw like this:

 

 

To something so overproduced and pretentious as this:

 

Scream

 

Is mind blowing. I mean look at that fucking video for fucks sake. THE WIND MACHINE BLOWING HIS HAIR. WHAT THE FUCK CORNELL. START DRINKING AGAIN YOU FUCK.

 

Trent Reznor put it pretty well when he said

[Audio of Being]

Lots of bands use wind machines. Possibly even a band you listen to.

[here is no why]

Scream is a terrible album. I can't believe he made that record at all. Branching out as an artist is alright, i'm all for it... but that is just a terrible record.

It's not the wind machine alone. It's the wind machine combined with the cornucopia of other bullshit that makes that video and song make me want to puke.

[mrs jesus]

But dude, Timbaland is so rock and roll...

scream isn't a 'rock and roll' record. nor is it supposed to be.

I'm aware of that, but Chris Cornell is not an R&B artist. As much as you enjoy the album, and I'm happy for you with that, it's a horrible, horrible piece of music.

[mrs jesus]

chris cornell is a musician. i'd venture to say it's up to him to decide what he wants to sing, not you.
