well, mostly, i don't think there's hells of much grunge in Nu Metal
there's lots of grunge in nu metal. Korn's debut is basically Faith No More + Pantera/Machine Head/Early 90's Sepultura groove metal + grunge song dynamics

my first Soundgarden show was Big Day Out in Melbourne in 1994...also my first real 'concert' so I had no idea what I was in for got myself a primo spot right up the front & they opened with 'Searching With My Good Eye Closed'. As soon as the music started the crowd surge lifted me off my feet and I wound up 20 people deep...scary at first but DAMN it was fun. Never forget that feeling of the bass and the guitar like piledrivers in my chest...my ears rang for days after and I was hooked.
Saw them again in 95 I think...also a great show but that first was my favorite.

Strangely, I saw Nirvana twice on the Bleach tour, but I never saw Soundgarden. I only really like Screaming Life tbh.

That's what everyone says! It is great, though.

I know. I get teased often for (almost) always liking a band's first release best. In this case, nothing Soundgarden ever did afterward sounds remotely like Screaming Life though. It's a little gem.
And I was just way more into Nirvana, Tad, and Green River. Soundgarden were leading the way towards the side of grunge that was reaching up into the stars instead of down into the muck.
― Nate Carson, Monday, 4 January 2010 21:23 (fourteen years ago) link
Screaming Life was the shit..."Little Joe" one of my alltime favorite SG songs. Soundgarden was probably my first introduction to something that sounded like metal but wasn't. You know that wasn't a hair band, and that wasn't Metallica. It was something else, and I was fascinated. I think I was maybe 14 or 15...a total eyeopener for smalltown me. I mean, I was all over Pearl Jam, but the early Soundgarden was something that felt more like it was mine, because not everyone liked it the first time they heard it. the banshee wail kind of pissed people off and that pleased the hell out of my teenaged self.

Still not worth $200. Lady Gaga, The Strokes, Arcade Fire, and Green Day are the other headliners.

If they're smart the opening song will be "Searching With My Good Eye Closed."

Do people actually care about the Strokes still? Anywhere?

I would totally pay less than $20 to see the Strokes play in a small club.

Truth be known, Cornell's voice is so shot that he's using auto-tune for this show

Sorry to derail, but...
Is it just me, or are Ultramega OK and Die Kreuzen's October File basically the same album?

I thought that name sounded familiar... they played a secret warm-up gig before their Badmotorfinger tour 20 years ago under the name Vince Whirlwind and the Nude Dragons.

Wow. are there any boots flying below the radar? I'm curious as to how his voice held up, cuz many of those songs are shriek-fests.
"Slaves and Bulldozers" though, omg...would love to hear that live!
― Phoenix in Flight (Cattle Grind), Sunday, 18 April 2010 15:02 (fourteen years ago) link
jeez .. that setlist kinda rules! so much 'Louder Than Love' stuff!! figgered they would just play the "hits" from their AOR era. but no "My Wave", "Day I Tried to Live", "Black Hole Sun" ... nuts! actually pretty psyched for the Lolla show now.

I've been listening to Louder Than Love a lot lately. I think it holds up pretty well as a solid hard rock album. There's a definite Jimi Hendrix/Voodoo Child influence in Hands All Over (same in Even Flow, btw). I love the way the melody is there just to let Chris Cornell belt out long notes - the words are pretty irrelevant.

LTL has always been my favorite album of theirs. I love the Terry Date production, it's very "roomy". when I came out I was a senior in high school and used to come home from school every day, hit up the one-hitter, and blast the thing in my room. good times

i'm not crazy about the pre-Shepherd records so i was almost hoping that whenever they tour around here the set would be just the hits straight up, like similar to the set i saw them do at Lollapalooza a few months before breaking up, but yeah pretty cool that they went through the whole catalog and ignored their biggest hit. they'll probably be at least a little more crowd-pleasing on the festival circuit, though, i imagine.

What? Was the limp-pop direction of his first (& only) solo joint failing him so much that he's reverting back to his Badmotorfinger / Louder than Love uber-aggression stance?
