Soundgarden Reuniting in 2010
Jan 1^st, 2010 at 7:54am

Grunge heavyweight Soundgarden will reunite in 2010 after 12 years apart, Chris Cornell announced via Twitter tonight at the stroke of midnight on the East Coast, confirming increasingly persistent rumors the band would reform — perhaps to headline the Coachella festival.
Cornell’s tweet reads: “The 12 year break is over & school is back in session.

Questions:
New album?
Is Matt Cameron is onboard?
Are they playing Coachella?
Will this push The Stones to step it up...? lol!

Some one needs a mortgage payment!

Anyway, fuck 'em. I adored them. IN fact, i was the 1st person in Melbourne to have "Louder than love". Guy at the record shop told me that. But, Kim Thayall bagged the Stones. So fuck 'em.

I didnt mind Audioslave. Some songs were great. But once Cornell did a James Bond theme, man, that was it.

For all their indie bullshit, it's still about money.

Audioslave I liked. The last album they made ("Revelations") was very funky and Timmy C played some great licks.

Cornell is one of my favorite vocalists, too. Ya know, his last album wasn't THAT bad. It was better than that crap he released before it ("Carry On").

It wasn't all that. Soundgarden was great in the 90's. If they show up at some festivals - it's what Faith No More did in Europe last summer - I'll probably end up seeing a gig, and I'm sure I'll be having some fun.

That's one of my favorite bootlegs.

Bring back Hiro!
