stevGNR666 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Soundgarden Reunion In The Works For good or ill, all the music from the 90s is coming back. Sure, the return of Limp Bizkit, Sugar Ray, and that guy from Smash Mouth making a country record isn’t really good news, but at least we’ve got Sunny Day Real Estate and Blur reunions to wash that down. Now we can add an inevitable Soundgarden reunion to the list.When the band, sans Chris Cornell, reformed for a set of old Soundgarden favorites with Tad Doyle and Tom Morello in late March, the reunion talk was sparked. Then Chris Cornell started using some cryptic language in interviews to suggest that he was open to the idea of getting the band back together, but he was careful not to turn the spotlight off the promotion of his current solo project.Now in an interview by Kerrang! (via Blabbermouth) with Shinedown’s Brent Smith, the frontman let a new development slip: “There’s talk of a reuniting of Soundgarden in the States soon,” he said. “I know actually someone specific who told me that, who is actually specifically in their organisation. Kinda told me that they’re talking about it.”http://mog.com/blog_posts/1361992/mogbarKinda...heresay, but whatever, in a Gn'R forum we've seen worse...

DCGNR Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I would be very happy to hear Soundgarden get back together and make an albumTo do a few shows here and there would only be good if they get back in the studioGonna have to find a new drummer, I suppose...........

Estranged Reality Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 It was inevitable, after two flop solo albums, that Cornell would come to his senses.Spoonman '09! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko12345 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Heres an interview which suggests to me that they will reform sooner rather than later,.http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/interv...en_reunion.htmlWhat was your reaction to the news that Kim, Matt and Ben reunited to perform three Soundgarden songs with Tad Doyle? I thought it was cool that they'd actually get together and rehearse some songs. I was kind of surprised by it, to be honest.[Laughs.] And I love Tad. We toured with Tad; I've always felt he was a really amazing person and a really talented guy. So I just really thought it was a cool thing for them to do. They were just getting up there and doing it for fun, and I think that's great. The only thing I didn't like is that I wasn't there to see it. If I was there, I probably would've gotten up on stage. So at some point, might we see a Soundgarden reunion? You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Maybe today's music is shit to some, but am I the only one who doesn't want to see a "Grunge" revival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Reality Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I never really considered Soundgarden to be grunge.I only ever listen to Superunknown, and it sides more with heavy rock and Sabbathy metal riffs. It's a pretty awesome album. If that's grunge, I'm all for a revival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR'R Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I don't think there will be a Grunge revival; Nirvana was the leading force, although I prefer the other 'Seattle 3'.I don't really think 'Grunge' is a sound, moreso a movement of bands out of the same area to take over the music scene reaching similar popularity. All the bands are pretty much distinctively original, so the label is useless...I'm just sad I missed it the first time around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandead Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Musically, AIC were the best of those bands, but they'll always be a metal band to me. A 'grungey' sound perhaps, but I'd never class them as being 'Grunge' ala Nirvana or PJ.I probably like Nirvana the least out of those bands.

Part of me feels that Soundgarden should be left in the past, but nonetheless, if they do reunite, I would love to see them.I know Soundgarden "made it" or whatever after the whole "Grunge" thing went huge... but I always kinda resented them being lumped in with the likes of Nirvana (who took Husker Du/Descendents-esque power punk to the masses) and Pearl Jam (basically classic rock in flannel shirts and "darker themes"). SG came up in the late 80's with an amazing debut LP- Ultramega OK and a pretty good follow-up before the burgeoning snowball of Nirvana, PJ, Alice In..., etc absorbed them. So for catergory's sake I always see them as a post-punk band that sounded like a brilliant mashup of Black Sabbath, 80's Sonic Youth, and... maybe vintage Mudhoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
