For the next 10 hours you can still buy the song and all the proceeds go to charity. Then tomorrow the song hits iTunes. To learn more go to www.chriscornell.com
The song is called "The Keeper" and it's for the new movie "Machine Gun Preacher."
I think it's one of the best things he's done solo since Euphoria Morning.
#212 Re: The Sunset Strip » Setlist From First Soundgarden Show » 723 weeks ago
What would be funny is if they DID save Black Hole Sun for the encore, played a few bars of it as an intro to Slaves & Bulldozers, then ended the show.
So all the hipsters who showed up there to be "cool" stood there for that whole show, and still never heard Black Hole Sun... which I always personally thought was one of the biggest B-side pieces of garbage to ever become a hit in the 90's.
Thank you....
No. The BEST thing they could do is the same thing they did for the Nudedragons show last year. They did not play Black Hole Sun and instead their last song was a cover of the Door's "Waiting for the Sun." I got a good chuckle out of that.

Honestly though, that concert should have been canceled due to the weather conditions. If you have gusts of wind that strong there is no guarantee that even a better build stage would withstand it.

Yeah it definitely has room for improvement. Deep old cuts like Gun and Ugly Truth just aren't needed. Save that shit for a Seattle club date. Beyond the Wheel and/or Nothing to Say are good enough representation of the early era. Rotate those with Hands All Over or Big Dumb Sex.
We'll have to see how this develops as the tour progresses.
I think Gun and Hands All Over should be rotated with each other. Ugly Truth just isn't really needed.
Last night they played Loud Love though, not a bad choice. I was hoping for a more diverse set list from night to night. So far it hasn't been.

Setlist: Black Rain, Searching With My Good Eye Closed, Spoonman, Gun, Rusty Cage, Blow Up The Outside World, Let Me Drown, Jesus Christ Pose, My Wave, The Day I Tried To Live, Outshined, Beyond The Wheel, Fell On Black Days, Ugly Truth, Burden In My Hand, Superunknown, Black Hole Sun, 4th of July
Encore: Face Pollution, Like Suicide, Slaves and Bulldozers
Can't say the set list impresses me. Apparently there is a slim to none chance that we will hear new music this summer, which is very odd.
I also hope they follow Pearl Jam and change up the set list every night and pull out a lot of old songs and songs they hardly ever play.
Apparently Cornell sounds better than he did last year.

Soundgarden covers November Rain
That would be worth the price of admission.
Seriously tho, i'm curious as to what SG ballads would sound like. More GN'R or more AIC.
I think they'd sound like less of both and more Soundgarden.

According to this article, Soundgarden’s new album will be out by the end of the year like many fans have assumed. The writer of this article doesn’t clarify though if Cornell himself told him the information. This is from Scott Kara’s new interview with Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell on NZherald.
“It’s been really … I guess I want to use the word fulfilling, which is weird,” he laughs of recording the new album, although he’s not saying too much about it, since it’s not out until later in the year.
And at the opposite extreme, he’s also loving playing solo – just him and his guitar – on his acoustic Songbook tour, which he brings to New Zealand in October.
During the shows he sings songs from throughout his career, including those of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog (his early-90s band with members of Pearl Jam), Audioslave, songs from his three solo albums and a handful of covers, including songs by John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, and, um, Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean (off 2007′s solo album Carry On).
The first show in Auckland, on October 4 at the 2000-capacity ASB Theatre, sold out in 40 minutes with a second being added, and there is also a date in Wellington.
“To be working between the two worlds, with the tour being so stripped-down, and to have that sandwiched between recording Soundgarden material, which is about aggression, adrenalin, and rhythmic chaos, it’s great,” he says.

Didn't Kim Thayill come out and say the opposite recently? That their album won't be out for quite a while yet?
I think the Kim interview was actually a few months old but had just surfaced recently.
Anytime you get those guys in a room together, they start churning music out faster than any one of them would expect.
#219 Re: The Sunset Strip » Soundgarden Album Nearly Finished, Cornell Says » 734 weeks ago
I REALLY hope they road test songs.
Given their past, I'm sure they will.
My wet dream is they pull a Foo Fighters and play their entire album front to back, and THEN play their regular set. 
I can dream....

nazherald.co.nz writer Scott Kara tweeted this: Just interviewed Chris Cornell. Nice chap. Still recording “sonic aggressive” new Soundgarden album but nearly ready he reckons.
