2015 Latin America Tour

[gardenparty]

Didn't "Future Days" and "Lightning Bolt" both premiere prior to the album coming out? I mean, we can assume the album was done at that point, so it's not like they were "trying out" new material, but they were played pre-release.

"Supersonic" and "The End" were also played live a few weeks before "Backspacer" came out.

Can't believe they chose to debut the two worst songs on the album. That night lowered my PJ new album excitement lower than it had ever been.

yeah i remember thinking what the fuck? future days?

[jtmack20]

I forgot how atrocious of a song Ole is/was.

This version actually sounds way better then the one with Eddie singing. Might be his worst vocal performance of all time.

[bodysnatcher]

Holy shit that video had so damn much rock and roll !!!!!

When that "tease" email came from the 10C, I was 99.9 percent sure that this was another lame tour announcement, but a small part of me had hopes that it was some kind of announcement about, ya know, actually creating new music.

Less touring, more music. Or, lay some tracks down while touring. Better yet, debut some songs you've been working on. Even better, lock Eddie up in the hotel room, and let Jeff/Stone write the new PJ album. Dubbed Ed's voice over music. Release to Target or whatever.

when was the last time they debuted a song live that ended up on an album? gone?

Unthought Known was debuted at an Ed solo show.

i probably should have known that since i was at that show. but yeah, i'm talking more "road testing" songs then just playing it as an advertisement to an album that's about to come out.

The only one that comes to mind since....Yield?.... is "Of the Earth". And that might not even end up on an album.

so psyched to know that this band after not playing together most of 2015 while their drummer plays and writes an album with a better band will be vacationing in brazil and making a few hundred thow at night in order to save for their childrens' future coke addictions and rehabs.

[CopperTom]

Definitely not your best work.

Come on now. Soundgarden is like 12 months away from playing at 2pm at state fairs. People on here might like them but they are way less relevant than Pearl Jam. Have you seen some of the third rate festivals they've played in the last couple of years? Headlining a festival in Kitchener, ON? I saw them in Quebec City last summer the crowd was tiny. Check out their crowd at Pemberton on YouTube last summer, very empty.

You have a point. I was shocked how few people cared about Soundgarden at their co-headline tour with NIN last year.

Agreed. They're relevant to us. But I don't see them attracting new generations like PJ is doing.

I'm sure their fans are perfectly happy with that.

The crowd was pretty small at Westfest too. Suited me though

Heh, yup. It is an interesting comparison though...would you rather maintain a higher level of musical integrity and play to smaller audiences or vice versa.

SG was always smaller than PJ, and I think they're comfortable with that. They like their status as strong influencers on other bands/Seattle pioneers and I think they feel 'famous enough'. PJ does still looks up to them, especially Eddie with the constant wearing of the nudedragons t-shirt

[KurtLeon]

Yeah Im going.

why is integrity contingent on the size of the venue in this case?

it sounds like you are comparing pearl jam to fugazi, not soundgarden. didnt cornell record an album with timbaland b/c he wanted more mainstream exposure as a recording artist? is that the kinda musical integrity that you are talking about?

[Coach]

This is essentially a South American vacation, unless they decide to get together to actually write new songs.
