Oh yes, the entire band playing instruments that are obviously not plugged in, mixed with shots of them on the beach and in the woods. hahaha. They went too far! Hm, yes yes, that incredible band SOUNDGARDEN. Well, I think that if Thayil was involved in the song Hunger Strike, it would've sounded like.......hm.....I think it would've had riffs akin to those found in the song 4th of July by SOUNDGARDEN. For me, the whole Foosteops / Times of Trouble thing is a matter of mood too. Although right now, I'd have to say Times of Trouble is more so my cup of tea than Footsteps. Speakin of Soundgarden and Kim Thayil, what are your five top guitar solos/riffs by Dr. Kim Thayil? haha

Yes dear, in my research, I've made the link between Times of Trouble and Footsteps. I'd have to say Times of Trouble is ultimately the more powerful of the two. Footsteps is good in its own right, but I dunno, Cornell kicks up a notch with the full band, and of course his transforming of the demo into a power-ballad with a thunderous climactic chorus. Of course though......One can only wonder what the band would sound like with Kim Thayil of SOUNDGARDEN playing in the band instead of Mike McCready. I find it really interesting to see how much Soundgarden and Pearl Jam progressed after this album. Essentially, the cd is just Chris with the present members of Pearl Jam. But if you compare, lets say, The Avacado Album with this, there has definitely been water under the bridge between then and now.

This thread is for all those who cherish this one time collaboration between Chris Cornell with.......well basically everyone in Pearl Jam. Who else thinks that Eddie, Matt, Stone, Jeff, Mike and Chris should tour together just for the hell of it? I think it would be coll because we would be able to hear Pearl Jam, Temple of the Dog, solo Chris Cornell, and most importantly, Soundgarden songs! Best songs by far are Say Hello To Heaven, Hunger Strike, and Times of Trouble. Nectre of the gods...

buy Superunknown. now. haha Audioslave...........they're not good. Chris Cornell is awesome, but his best days were with Soundgarden.

What? How can Morello be that high on the list? All he does is fiddle with his distortion peddles and make weird sounds. Take away his peddles and he is just another guitarist. Kim on the other hand is the crypt-creeper of all guitarists!

Soundgarden - Boot Camp

They were good showmen, good guys. You could tell they were a backing band, but at the same time they really had a stage presence too. Like, they came out and did an intro before bursting into Let Me Drown. And the intro really managed to wind up the audience. As well one of his band members is from Edmonton, which he gladly pointed out to us.haha. Oh, and the lead guitarist did things that we thought Morello only could do. haha Soundgarden song of the day is......Switch Opens! WOO

hm.......top 5 Thayil solos? I dunno. Thayil is more of a riff person the way i see it. Sure, Thayil does awesome solos, but they never take center stage. Its never like fucking Tom Morello where he has to hog all the fuckin attention by making weird noises. Thayil is more like "Okay guys, I'll do something cool, but I ain't gonna drown out the rest of the band!" Top 5 Thayil riffs would have to be........My Wave, the chorus to Outshined, Loud Love, Hands All Over, and of course, Pretty Noose! what about you my dear wfie?

Oh yes, Kim Thayil, the crypt-creeper himself. I was researching this on Wikipedia, and apparently the reason Soundgarden broke up was because Kim Thayil wanted to keep things heavy like on Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger, while Chris Cornell wanted to go lighter and try new things, like on Superunknown and Down onn the Upside. I know Down on the Upside by no means measures up to its predecessors at all, but its not like any of the songs fuckin suck either. Its an enjoyable cd. In my opinion its the sound of the band just being laidback and relaxing. Yo, did you know that for Slaves & Bulldozers, when Kim is doing his solo, he isn't playing the guitar strings? HE'S BLOWING ON THEM! hahahah

YOU TAKE THAT BACK! haha. Yes, Wave Goodbye was a good one. The whole concert was pretty fucking awesome actually, the venue Massey Hall is perfect. The sound is awesome there. Yo, I bought Down on the Upside, and to tell you the truth, that album is really fuckin under-appreciated! I listened to it again last night when I was writing my essay outline, and it hit me. I was just like "dude......thats some good shit!" haha. Do you have that album dear?

Eh, Chris played Can't Change Me solo and acoustic yo, and then oddly he decided to play Wave Goodbye with the band. Many of the people there were present only for stuff like Audioslave, and some oddly enough were there for the new stuff. *shrugs* But I appreciated Wave Goodbye. However, it was after Chris opened with Let Me Drown that I said "GET BACK TOGETHER WITH SOUNDGARDEN!!!!!" I was also hoping that Chris would play Pretty Noose, but despite my trying to yell it out after every song, it just didn't happen. *tears*. haha

Damn right about the loud love there! And that video is fuckin hilarious! Well, here is my plan, Matt Cameron could still be together with Soundgarden and be in Pearl Jam at the same time. They can tour together! Soundgarden would play two hours, and then Pearl Jam would play another two. Yea, when I saw Chris Cornell, I noticed that though the Adioslave and solo material came across well, it was the old Soundgarden songs that everyone was going nuts about.

A SOUNDGARDEN BURGER?!??! haha, thats frickin hilarious! What are the ingredients I wonder?

S O U N D G A R D E N Any hardcore Soundgarden fans here?.......besides Vertigo Caz and I? haha. Anybody here wish that Chris Cornell will just get back together with Soundgarden for a tour? If The Verve could get back together, not only tour, but also put out a new album. If the murderuous rage between Richard Ashcroft and Nick McCabe could be quenched, then why can't Chris get back in touch with his old band????? haha Maybe I'm asking a lot here, but whatever. I saw Chris Cornell recently, and I noticed that almost half his setlist was composed of Soundgarden classics, and man oh man, Rusty Cage and Jesus Christ Pose hit like a thunderstorm when played live... ANyways, let the Soundgarden love out!

You can always depend on Pearl Jam to be honest and sincere, and rock really hard, and provide the best live experience you'll ever get (seen 'em twice). Binaural is my favorite album by them, it really kicks ass. haha

If you're getting into The Verve, listen to A Northern Soul.

I don't get how music is better now than it was in the time of the Beatles? You raise some points about people overhyping the Beatles, but the fact remains that they were an incredible band. When you say music is better, I think what you are really trying to say is that music today is more relevant to our times. I mean sure, today's music sounds better than the Beatles, but thats because he Beatles made music back n the 60s when popular music was in a different phase than it is today. The fact is that the Beatles are timeless and can still be listened to today. The compillation cd Beatles 1 released just years ago is one of the biggest selling compilation albums of all time. Obviously millions upon millions of people still listen to the Beatles and think they are good.

Yea yea, Urban Hymns was good, but I stand by my opinion that A Northern Soul blows it away.

Spiderman 3 - 7/10 Raimi should've been left alone to do whatever the hell he wanted, and not have been "asked" to inlude Venom.

David Lynch is my favorite director right now.

Mulholland Drive. 9/10

Pearl Jam have been my favorite band since grade 12. One hell of a force to be reckoned with in concert, let me tell you!

The soundtrack for the movie Singles is great.

Please take Bobby off the list for Best Drama Motion Picture. NOW. haha

A lot of people trash the ending, but give me a break, how else can you tie up all the loose ends when you're at 2 and a half hours already. (Insert praise for The Departed here).
