Actually, honestly, I guess Soundgarden were better than I ever give 'em credit for. If I'd never read a single interview with or article about them, I'd like 'em more than I do. (But still not as much as Sabbath or Zep, from whom they borrowed plenty despite their nonsensical denials.)

I've never heard anyone else make the comparison, but Soundgarden's songwriting remind me a lot of early Traffic- stuff like "Mr. Fantasy" and "Forty Thousand Headmen"- in the lyrics, the dynamics and in Cornell's singing.

The hell?:
The biggest highlight came when Morello introduced former Soundgarden members guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepard and drummer Matt Cameron. The three former bandmates took to the stage with none other than Tad Doyle, former frontman of TAD and current powerhouse singer for Brothers of the Sonic Cloth. He led the band through a three-song "Tadgarden" set that included a Soundgarden rarity and a classic.Doyle, who is good friends with the Soundgarden crew from their days as tour and labelmates on Sub Pop, sang a powerful rendition of "Nothing to Say" and delivered a scream-laden "Spoonman," which included Morello on rhythm guitar.It appeared as if a lot of the crowd, which was a mixture of old school grungers in their mid 30s to late 40s and younger Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave fans, didn't quite know what to make of Doyle.

badmotorfinger is nothing short of explosive when the right mood hits. strangely it makes for a truly nostalgic listen, most likely because it encapsulates the creative heights of an era that was so dominant and far-reaching in its exposure, but also so brittle and dependent on the energy and conviction levels of its principle players to survive.

If this is true, then I'm sold. Soundgarden was 'my band' when I was a 14-year-old really discovering music for the first time, and they were my gateway drug to so much amazing stuff it's unbelievable.

yeah, that's my one concern too. although i'm pretty sure they'd still put on a killer live show where i wouldn't notice much about his voice anyway. i wonder how extensive or long term this will be, considering that Matt Cameron still tours with Pearl Jam all the time.

i'm enough of a stan that i actually went to see The Traveling Chris Cornell Good Time Rock'n'Roll Revue last year and i was worried going in but The Voice was in good form. Whatever behind-the-scenes technical wizardry was required to pull that off, I'm sure it'll still be available in 2010.

my juvenile, factually-unsupported theory is he stopped screaming when he cut his hair. grow hair back = screaming returns. in my mind, it's that simple.

I loved grunge (really Nirvana) at the time, but in terms of the 20-year retro cycle, I was hoping pop music would latch onto something else. I mean, don't nu-metal and screamo take the angst-fueled rage from grunge, anyway? (Unfortunately, they forgot the tunefulness and, for the most part, lack a legitimate basis for angst, but they seem to have the shouty-screamy part mastered).

no offence daniel, but i have to say anyone who said this, i'd doubt whether they'd actually ever heard grunge, screamo or nu metal.

I will never regret buying the ticket to see him on a whim at some minor local festival (when I couldn't make Welcome to Rockville), as he was gone only a few weeks later. he seemed in good spirits and sounded great, with a lot of his power coming back.
oh, the other song that was a jam was "Room a Thousand Years Wide"
