I predict some patchy live shows and possibly even a bland, middle of the road album if the reunion is permanant, but if the money is looking good why wouldn't they resist a reformation?

Well who doesn't like money?

You people are a bunch of cynical ****s. This is going to be mind blowing.

Amazing synchronicity with my entry. Pumped.

i have all the hope in the world that it will be mind blowing...just don't want to get set up for disappointment. there have been too many reunions that ended up a giant disaster

I really don't know what to think of this. The last time I saw Chris Cornell live (about 2 years ago), it just wasn't as epic as the oldschool Soundgarden days. I'm not sure if it'll be the same :/

Yeha but I'd bet he was trying to not be soundgarden when he did that.

Soundgarden is pwn. I'm pumped.

Yeah true, he was doing solo stuff which I'm not really a fan of... he did play a couple of Soundgarden songs and when he did the crowd went pretty mental.

But like someone said, there have been so many reunions that have turned out to be disasters, so I guess I'm just not getting my hopes up. Will be awesome to see though if it works out. Fingers crossed!

Alright enough, everybody. Start listing the reunions you've seen and why they were ****.

I saw Jane's Addiction at Lollapalooza 2003 and they murdered a kid on stage they were so good.

and then subsequently broke up all over again. i did not find strays to be that impressive.

Cornell's solo/newer stuff is horrible in my opinion and I hope they're able to do it decently.

I generally don't like when bands reform because it's awkward and never the same. I would enjoy to make a list of examples if you ask.

Unless Cornell's voice magically recovers and de-ages about a decade through surgery or God's healing or whatever, I'd say it is set in stone that nothing good will come out of this reunion.
