Soundgarden

[Podie]

Well it seems the reformed Soundgarden have finally released something... Black Rain from the forthcoming Telephantasm album (due 27/28 September). Must admit having listened to it, I felt like a teenager again and there's no doubting it was originally from the Badmotorfinger days.

Whilst somewhat disappointed that the forthcoming album is essentially a greatest hits effort (sorry, "career retrospective") it's impressive that Cornell can still hit those notes. Fingers crossed they do some UK dates next year...

its worth buying for disc 1 alone,there early sub pop stuff is awesome.

[Greenwich Ross]

Have they remastered any of it, though? Damned if i'm re-buying all those tracks again just to hear one new one.

And i'm sure they'll play the UK sooner or later; will see you at the front!

black hole sun is the only song I recognise, is this a significant gap in my musical appreciation.

How would they compare to legends such as Dylan, Stones, Bowie and Mel & Kim

Not as heavy as Mel and Kim.

[Motown Junk]

Mind you, Mel & Kim are only half as heavy as they used to be....

Soundgarden collectively smashed her back doors in.
