I'm extremely excited. To be honest, what's the worst that could happen? Being able to see Soundgarden live would be insane.

the worse that could happen is that they hit the stage and come off as a cheap imitation of what they used to be. cardboard cutouts and hollow screams.



normally i loathe reunion tours. last year's FNM reunion forced me to reconsider my position. an interview with Kim Thayil from last fall also had me braced for an eventual SG reunion. it's like he said, when's the last time anyone saw a Soundgarden t-shirt or poster for sale? the band went under in '97, then their management company, then the label they were on got swallowed, and the band became a footnote of the 90s rock movement.

i used to own 3 SG shirts, only have 1 left and it's holier than christ. posters? only the ones i salvaged from guitar world magazine. depending on how this tour goes the mythical B-Sides compilation of live cuts, european and japanese only single tracks, the 2nd disc to the limited edition Badmotorfinger double release (satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas) might actually see the light of day. i already went through the hassle of searching EVERY single day for MONTHS to score a copy of 'fresh deadly roses' a decade ago on soulseek, i don't want to cheapen that with a discographical torrent of their catalog to make sure i have all the mp3s, i want the final missing disc for my collection.


anyone have any word on tour dates yet? anything for Vancouver, BC?
