Red Mosquito

Nerds

I'm quite interested to see the actual track listing for the 4 cd version. I;m guessing from Cameron's comments it might be like the SUperunknown box with rehearsal audio and maybe a live concert.

No they withheld the reissue and tour from us until she was locked up!

Looks like no one wants General Admission

I personally hope this leads to a new way of working together. It's gotta be really tricky figuring out how to do both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. They are all at the age where they probably don't want to tour 9 months out of the year, or even 6 months, especially Matt. All while having their family time and figuring out how to make albums.

In the spirit of what Chris said in the press statement, I'd love if all 8 of the boys (all of ToTD, plus Kim and Ben) just got together for 2-3 months and just made a bunch of songs as a rotating group - Seattle style cross-pollination - and then placed them within Soundgarden, ToTD, and PJ albums. All 8 of those guys probably have tons of demos and rather than scheduling hell, just hang out like friends for a few months and bash them out together, smoke weed, and have fun. Then figure out which band to place them under.

That sounds terrible

Ben Shepard seems cool but nuts, don't think he would mesh with the "Serenity Now" PJ.

Where would Boom fit into all of this?

I want SG to finish their album so...no.

But, still the idea of the band and Cornell together is really cool.

Years would pass after Eddie forgets to tell Boom the band is recording. Mike asks,"Hey, remember that guy Boom?" Everyone just nods their heads and continues their preparations for a two city tour.

He gave me a thumbs-up at a show during the DOTU tour when I took care of a guy that was pretty much being a nuisance to everyone in the pit. We were all in the pit jamming and taking in the music and this shit-head just starts flailing his arms and slamming into everyone. During his spasms he would wander all about the floor. After about 3 songs worth of this, he migrated to another section and we thought we were rid of him. Wrong. About 30 minutes later, he's back. After being knocked about a few times by him, he sends an elbow to the back of my head. Now, I'm usually a pretty easy going guy. Never been in a fight in my life, but I had had enough of this douchebag and didn't care what happenned to me at this point. He's about 4-6 inches taller than me, but we're both pretty skinny guys. I grab him by the shoulders and literally slam his back into the floor and told him I've had enough. He just up gets right n my face and screams "you didn't have to do that in front of all those chicks!" and walks away and isn't seen any more at the show. When I turned back to the band, Shepard looks me dead in the eye, grins and gives me a thumbs up.

Jeez Lou-wease

Great story.

Also, i go back and forth on attending these shows.

$140.00CAN PER TICKET FOR SEATTLE!

yeah that's fucking stupid

I absolutely love that they chose the Paramount as the Seattle venue. But my god, is it gonna be a shitshow trying to attend that one. I can only imagine the insane secondary market prices we'll see.

Alice in Chains should get Brendan O'Brien or Adam Kaspar to remix Sap.
