maybe rage will get back together now
they might even play a show.
I thought RATM were back together for Coachella
i hear rumors of rage playing coachella
Maybe they’ll all retire once and for all.
QUIET YOU
Have Soundgarden reformed yet? I get lost with these things.
i’m holding out for the temple of the dog reunion
Did Zack De La Whatever ever release that El-P produced solo record that was in the works for like half-a-dozen years?
Maybe Chris Cornell will stop sucking.
yah him and el-p are having a reunion tour.
xpost
is the dude from candlebox busy?
In 2006, Candlebox reunited with their original line-up and embarked on a three-month North American tour from July to October of that year. The band is currently writing and recording material for a new record due for release in 2007.
What label would possibly release this monstrosity?
Def Jux
Walmart!
(cf the Eagles new album)
Haha. What if Cornell and de la Rocha are actually really chill dudes, and the rhythm section guys are huge dicks?
sorry, but i think everytime either band took the stage it was a stageful of dicks
morello seems a bit ‘uppity’
Did Zack De La Whatever ever release that El-P produced solo record that was in the works for like half-a-dozen years?
Um, didn’t he also record with Trent Reznor, ?uestlove, and DJ Shadow during this span of careerlessness as well? Ned wrath ahoy I’m sure but...I was really looking forward to that album.
AND THEY ALL JOINED GUNS&ROSES
One tune with Reznor came out, it was pretty crappy.
haha I lived in State College for over a decade and I had no idea we had a Gold’s Gym. Why does Idolator? Is it new?
RATM should totally play coachella!
February 15th: the day God cried tears of gatorade
even though the first Cornell solo LP was weak, I’m sticking with my theory that Audioslave sucking was all the Rage dudes’ fault and that he’ll get back to Soundgarden/Temple Of The Dog type awesomeness now. that Bond theme was alright!
I think there is blame enough for Audioslave sucking for everybody.
Even I feel a little responsible.
lolz

replace “Cornell” with “Hagar” and “Soundgarden/Temple Of The Dog” with “Montrose” to realize how much you’re trippin’ balls.
“Audioslave” with “Van Hagar,” etc.
Wait...when did Hagar play with Rage dudes!?!?!? OMG OMG!
god damn your xpost!
I was gonna be all “Hagar Against The Machine”. ;_;
“I Can’t Drive 55 Without A Revolution”
Now face tha funk now blastin’ out ya speaker, on tha one, mas tequila!
I’ve defended Van Hagar on ILM before, too! and I’m not gonna argue against your unconditional Cornell hate, but Soundgarden’s crazy time signatures and dropped D tunings and squealy guitar solos and hoarse singer = my platonic ideal of bloated mid-90’s stadium alt rock.

x-post Find out how to screw & chop a Coheed & Cambria album, then
spot the biggest douchebag:
I still stand my belief that Audioslave would be ten times better if Rod Stewart was the singer/lyricist. Rage meets Faces and MINDS GET BLOWN.
Rod Against The Machine
AM is truly tripping his balls off in a frenzy of I don’t know what.
He hasn’t been right since he ate blotter at the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert last December.
RATM really were the CYHSY/P!ATD of their time, weren’t they?
Rage! At Your Hands And Say Disco
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO: gggarth
So much bananas on this thread
i wonder how many songs i have actually heard by this band? four or five maybe but never a full album despite loving Chris Cornell’s voice.
for the record:
Its most recent album, “Revelations,” has sold a disappointing 409,000 copies in the United States since its September 2006 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Its self-titled 2002 debut sold 3.1 million copies, and the 2005 follow-up “Out of Exile” 1.1 million.
I’m totally waiting with baited breath for whatever material these guys put out on a major label. Fuck the system, man!
p.s.:
How long do dreadlocks take to grow?
Dreadlocks must be nurtured, not grown.
i still can’t believe they lasted three albums!
I actually kinda like the title track to Revelations that’s been on the radio lately. seemed like they rushed that album out with little to no promotion, though.
Maybe they thought getting a track on Best Buy Radio was all the promo the album needed?
I can’t believe the 1st album actually sold 3 million.
that was all on “Like A Stone” being on VH1 all day for a year, I think. actually, I think I pretty much hated all their big singles but generally enjoyed the ones that only got a little radio play. it was such a worst of both worlds marriage, though.
Yeah, it’s like the two parts that merged into that fuckstick of a band brought out the worst in each other. The RATM dudes sucked out any of the loopy WTF fun that CC tapped into for those last few SG albums had (“Ty Cobb”! That song about J. Mascis! It couldn’t have all been Thayil & Shepherd, right?), turning him into a humorless Jesus Christ poseur. And whatever retarded swing & swagger RATM picked up over the course of their final 2 records got subsumed & mulched into turgid ballad-ready grungefucks.
“Ty Cobb” was all Shepherd, actually.
And as for RATM turning him into a humorless Jesus Christ posuer...
Yeah, Shepherd seemed to write a lot of the really good/interesting stuff, “Head Down” might be my favorite Soundgarden song nowadays. are Hater or any of his other projects worth checking out?
at least michael mann has three albums’ worth of soundtrack fuel
Al: Hater is def. work checking out. Dunno about Wellwater Conspiracy, but I think folks have repped for them here before.
I fear I will weep for my misbegotten youf if I see that YouTube clip AM linked to.
Hater had a couple of good tunes from what I remember.
haha I think “Head Down” is everyone’s favorite Soundgarden song.
i like “hands all over” a lot.
‘half’ has always been one of my favorite soundgarden songs, shepherd wrote that one too
“4th of July” ftw
three albums?!?!
Never in their whole career did I stop confusing their name for MIDI terminology.
