Total Fucking Godhead / The Soundgarden Thread

[matt reeder]

Hey what do you guys think are the best post reunion Soundgarden shows/bootlegs to check out? Thanks in advance.

4/16/2010 - Seattle
8/05/2010 - Chicago
7/16/2011 - Chicago
7/30/2011 - Gorge
6/10/2012 - Castle Donington
2/07/2013 - Seattle
2/17/2013 - Los Angeles
9/16/2013 - Dublin
3/13/2014 - Itunes Festival (Superunknown live)

That's pretty much all you need. They've been uniformly great since they came back, but those are the best shows and bootlegs I've heard.

In an interview with our local paper, Chris said it's straight back to work on the new Soundgarden record once his solo abum cycle winds up. He has dates booked until May 2016 so a late 2016 release at best, I guess?

Here's a SG-related page from my comic

Thanks man. It takes a lot out of me so I have to stop and start but the end product will be pretty special I think. Here's a recent page in progress.

In your schedule it looks like you're not playing any shows between Christmas and late March. Will that time be spent working on new Soundgarden material?
Yeah. If I'm not on tour or making an album for myself I'm always focusing on Soundgarden. It's kind of what I do. And in the last five years it's been pretty amazing to be able to do this acoustic solo career simultaneously with Soundgarden, which is like this sonic assault. And to be able to bounce back between the two always feels refreshing.

And how far along are you into writing the new album?
It's hard to say. We've definitely got a good start. We don't have a clock on what we do ever, it's sort of how we function, and so I can't say we're close to an album or really that far away, it's always hard to tell.

I took some photos of the band last February.

[Birds in Hell]

Fantastic work, zeb.

[bada]

[zeb]

Thanks guys.

RE: Ben - He was on the opposite side of the stage and was not a terribly dynamic subject.

[DeLima]

Great stuff zeb

[LetMeSleep]

Nice shots, Zeb

[zeb]

Cheers guys. I was happy with the results, given they were taken with a point and shoot from about three rows back.

I wish that they played on smaller stages or bunched closer together, though.

Thanks trag.

The SG shots were taken with a Sony RX100, a camera I've recommended to anyone who'll listen. I think Birds In Hell was looking at getting one soon; turned2black also uses the RX100, although I think his is a more recent gen version.

Further examples follow. Note that these are all very lowlight situations, the outputs are even better when you have proper lighting or daylight:

Bloody hell, Soundgarden still owed over 2 million dollars from their appearance at Soundwave 2015:

Holy hell. That's appalling.

[Birds in Hell]

Just terrible.

[zeb]

I just read that article too!

[bada]

Holy hell. That's appalling.

I know imagine having to pay Slipnot 1.5 million!
