Total Fucking Godhead / The Soundgarden Thread

They were/are an incredible band.

I feel really fortunate for the two times I got to see them, especially that last show in Melbourne.

Soundwave?

Same tour, but their separate headline show in Melbourne.

I’ve been listening to a ton of Soundgarden lately. Maybe the most I ever have in my life.

Right around the time Echo of Miles came out I got really heavy into Soundgarden for a while, just indulging in that collection and some of the pre-Badmotorfinger stuff that I never really gave a fair shot to when I was a kid. I definitely feel like I appreciate them more now than I did at the time, though I have no interest in hearing them with a new singer -- that whole concept just doesn't excite me at all.

Yeah I’m the same way about the new singer. Never understood that concept. I get the argument “well what about a new guitarist?” But to me personally, the singer is who I connect with in a band.

If they start a new band and try not to tread on old Soundgarden material, then that’s all fine. But trying to replace a singer is when I completely lose interest, no matter how good they are.

only acceptable singer would be Hiro Yamamoto

[bodysnatcher]

And they would call the band Badmotofinger

I would very happily listen to instrumentals from Kim, Ben and Matt!

In fact, I feel like they could pull off an entire instrumental album that is worthy of repeated listening. I doubt it will happens though!

[VinylGuy]

I hope they get a singer. Its not going to be Soundgarden and they know it. But keep making amazing music guys.

Matt plays drums for PJ so maybe Ed will sing for Soundgarden? I bet he could put a little fixin on a song like Non State Actor.

[VinylGuy]

Nah, Ed wont do that. I also dont want him to do it....I ve been pretty vocal about my desire to see Taylor Momsen with the band.

[bodysnatcher]

Ed singing in place of Cornell would be hilarious

[verb_to_trust]

I think he could pull off Black Hole Sun

The 'nudedragonsoffical' Instagram account had a post today commemorating the 8th anniversary of King Animal:https://www.instagram.com/p/CHiAIGgpuu9/
As per usual, the post was full of details about the release that you would never find on the 'offical' Soundgarden account.

What seems quite promising was a statement made in the first sentence of the post:

On this date in 2012, Soundgarden released their 7th studio album (so far), King Animal, on Republic records in the U.S. and Vertigo records internationally.

SO FAR....
THERE IS HOPE.
