So, if Temple of the Dog (the album) was composed of material written in the wake of Andrew Wood's untimely death. What do you think the stem would be from which a 2nd album would bloom today?

Getting back on track though Temple Of The Dog is awesome!

You mean, he'll play Hard To Imagine for us! muhahahahha

Also, I'll have a sitdown with Chris when he's talking about writing the followup to his "smash hit" cd Carry On. I'll give him a pen and paper, and then show him how to use the on/off switch on an amplifier and be like "when writing music, I want this damn switch to always be in the ON zone."

My hand in marriage, you know you want it. hahah Yea, I'll be Temple Of The Dog's manager. I'd be like "Eddie, heres what we're going to do. You're going to play Hard To Imagine." And then Eddie would swig his red wine and be like "Yea, yea, I'll do it" And then at the concert, he'll totally forget to play it, or play Evenflow instead. hahaha

As well, if Eddie could open with Stone just doing Footsteps acoustic, and then slowly build into a jam session that will then lead into Times Of Trouble, that would be a good 15 minutes right there.

Eh, I guess two hours is good enough. If they pull a Green Day and only play for like 90 minutes though, I'd be pissed. haha

As well, would it be asking too much to get a good three hour concert out of them? Considering their 10 song catalogue? haha

as well, guest performers, including Ben Shepherd, and Kim Thayil haha.

Sounds good. Lets figure out a setlist, consisting of their entire catalogue of songs.......All ten of them! haha

what a shame.

fuck! They used to put out cds every two years! Now this?!?!?

Yea, to tell ya the truth. I didn't really like Live At The Garden. I mean, good selection of songs but, the show felt kinda uneven, not consistently good ya know. And yes, Touring Band 2000 is the best live DVD I've ever purchased. Only two words to describe it holy shit hahaha As well, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to state that the live bootleg November 6th, 2000, Seattle is the best live recording I've ever heard.

Yea, short is an understatement for that! Apparently theres gonna be a lot of documentary footage too. Maybe a major component of it is going to be footage of the band backstage and on the road and what not. If so, thats really cool. If not.......well, fuck! ahhaha. The song.... Hard To Image The album.... Lost Dogs The band.......you know. hahha

The song.... Ugly Truth The album....... Louder, Than, Love hahaha

Now I know why you've been taken! haha Good luck with your Slaves & Bulldozers. Temple of the Dog song for today has got to be Say Hello To Heaven.

Also, I'd like to take this oppurtunity to state that the soundgarden song of the day is Mailman. haha I really wanna get their first cd Ultramega OK, but I can't find it anywhere. I hear its pretty good. Not Superunknown or Badmotorfinger good, but pretty fuckin good.

Well spoke dear! Yea, I gotta admit tho, first few times giving the disc a spin, I was not loving it. A few months later tho when I came back to it, I realized how good it was.

hahaha, yea. Kim Thayil at the grocery store checking out a bag of milk. hahah It would be like "hmmmmm, oh damnit, do you guys accept VISA? I don't have any loose change on me." haha. It would be weird seeing such a mundane scene as that. Oh, I'n my studies (shut up!) I've come across a number of parallels between The Verve and Soundgarden. Check these out: - both bands started off doing really psychedelic, foggy, murky music, and became more accesible towards the end of their careers. - similar subject matter - the guitarist and lead singer both have difficulties with each other (extreme difficulties in the case of McCabe and Ashcroft) - both bands are seriously underappreciated and are only recognized for their big singles (Black Hole Sun) (Bittersweet Symphony). Believe it or not people, Bittersweet Symphony is actually one of The Verve's worst songs when putting it within the context of their collective works. Also I'd like to take this oppurtunity to reiterate my mantra that Superunknown is the best American cd of the 90s. haha

Dude, the dude was like eight inches taller than me so, haha, I don't know how much taller he'd be for you. haha, I wonder if one day I'll get on the bus and then see Kim casually stroll on and sit beside me, reading the newspaper. I wonder if hes just living the normal life now...And also if he has cut his hair or not. haha

Well, I'll try and hunt down Kim Thayil and discuss the possibility with him. I think he'd be understanding. Chris is one intimidating dude. Even when I got hit autograph, I was scared to ask because he's so fuckin tall. haha.

Yes, you should definitely stop paying out to Chris Cornell. Leave the poor bastard alone! haha. Well, how about an anthology of concert footage, starting from Soundgarden's early days, through to the final tour. Done in chronological order. And for bonus features, all their music videos featuring commentary from all band members.

hahaha, oh......Carry On. Yea, I just think Cornell has hit a mid-life crisis or somethin. I dunno, at least he kicks ass live still. A live DVD of Soundgarden would be awesome too! Featuring band commentary for the entire duration hahaa. And also an accompanying music video collection (again with commentary) and documentaries and whatever else. Add on top of that a solid cd of b-sides, or two, and that would make one hell of a good purchase.

Hm, a boxed set would be most good! Soundgarden b-sides are hard to come by, and I also heard that Kim wanted to put out a rarities collection a while back. Hm just because a reunion "isn't likely" it doesn't mean it won't happen. After all, Ashcroft said the Beatles had more chacne of reuniting than the Verve, and he came crawlin back!

For me, it would be Loud Love, Pretty Noose, Hands All Over, Outshined, and of course, Superunknown. Oh god, a Superunknown hoodie would complete me. haha While on the topic of Soundgarden, what would be your favorite Soundgarden cd?
