Uhhh, that's not cool. I don't find that funny at all.
Because if that joke was played on me, i'd be overjoyed to be an expectant father, and would be destroyed to find out it's a joke.
For those who would hate to have a kid (like myself) that joke would be awful in the opposite way, but a huge relief and funny afterwords.
Last year I told my mom I got my ex-girlfriend pregnant. She freaked out. I told her a few hours later when I reminded her what day it was.
James, that was quite the joke you played.

Saikin, do you have the old albums? I uploaded those for madagas recently and the links are still active.
Yeah I've got all Soundgarden albums besides their GH. I don't really have any need for that album since I like listening to each album separately.
Good point about the Tracii Guns part. I was just using him as an example for public face value really. Everyone knows the GNR lineup with Slash, very few know Tracii Guns, and even fewer would be able to identify him.
Same with Soundgarden. It's the fans that really dive into their work that realize they had a different bass player pre-Badmotorfinger. I don't think I could personally identify the guy however if I saw a picture.
It's very hard to find any information on Soundgarden breaking up. And with two of the members staying out of the public spotlight, and Cornell not giving really clear answers, it makes it even more difficult to find any info. With Cornell actually talking about it though besides just superficially, it adds some hope to a reunion.
I took his statements to mean that there would be no more replacements for any members, so if everyone wasn't on board then it wouldn't happen (and I just assumed he meant Shepard).
I have to say, I'm not a big fan of Screaming Life besides one or two songs. I like Louder than Love a lot better from that era.

Crazy Train. I don't care how overplayed it is. That song still rocks.

"Challenge the audience"
one of the dumbest fucking comments i've ever heard. why should anybody have to "challenge" their own taste in music? what he's essentially saying is force yourself to like or fuck off. he should have said something to the effect of "give it a chance" but challenge yourself? i dont get it.
Every belief should be challenged. If you only ever listen to one type of music, how could you know you don't like anything else?
He's not saying 'force yourself to like it or fuck off', he's saying give it a chance. There's always the option of going to the concessions or taking a piss during 50's performance. I certainly did that during Saving Abel and Papa Roach's sets at one of the concerts I went to.
I think good music does in a certain sense challenge the audience. (not that I am saying either of these acts produces really good music) GNR did it with UYI. Before that, people rocked out to PC, WTTJ and SCOM. Then GNR come out with November Rain and Estranged and people are a little taken back at first. They challenged their audience.

The reformation comes in spite of recent insistence from Cornell that the band would never reform unless all original members were involved.
Jesus Christ.....does he dislike Shepard THAT much??
I am a big time Soundgarden nutswinger and there's just no way in hell I would support a reunion if its not the Badmotorfinger-Down on the Upside line up. Yamamoto brings nothing to the table and there's literally ZERO reasons for him to be involved.
Do you really think he meant that? I took it to mean the lineup starting with Badmotorfinger since it was that lineup that put Soundgarden on the map. Anyone before that just seems out of the question. Most of the world wouldn't even know that there was a lineup of Soundgarden without Sheppard.
It'd be like GNR reuniting with their truly original lineup with Tracii Guns on lead guitar. There is no point of that since most of the world wouldn't even know who he was, or that he was in GNR.

I think the last two paragraphs of that interview are misleading and a wrong phrasing by the writer.
I think (and I could be wrong) that Chris meant the band had agreed to never reunite with a couple members only (and not everyone) and play Soundgarden material AND call it Soundgarden (so kinda like Axl and GNR).
I agree with the band, and love the fact that they agreed to never reunite without everyone. I couldn't imagine it any other way.

Chris talks about the possibility of a Soundgarden reunion:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/gen … unite.html
Members of Soundgarden reunited onstage for the first time since 1997 last Tuesday (March 24th) - but without founder member and vocalist Chris Cornell.
Bandmembers Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd reformed at a Tom Morello solo gig at the Crocodile Café in Seattle. The band were joined onstage by Morello on rhythm guitar, and Tad singer Tad Doyle on vocals, reports Reverb.
They performed "Hunted Down", "Nothing To Say", and "Spoonman" at the gig.
The reformation comes in spite of recent insistence from Cornell that the band would never reform unless all original members were involved.
Speaking to Nme.com about the release of his new solo album "Scream", Cornell touched on the subject of his old band reforming.
"When Soundgarden broke up, my discussions with the rest of the band was 'We have to have an agreement that we will never tour Soundgarden - Soundgarden will never exist - without it being a unanimous decision and that everyone who was in the band is in the band'," Cornell told Nme.com.
The singer was then asked if it would have to be a unanimous decision between all Soundgarden members for the band to reform.
"Absolutely. That's something that goes without saying," he said.
Cornell went on to say that the band had an agreement in place that none of them would play Soundgarden songs unless all original members were involved.
He confirmed: "We never, ever entertained the idea of doing it any other way. It has to be how it was and who it was. We put an agreement in place that created a situation where it can't be any other way than that."

Leave it to CC...
This one is no contest for me. Pretty bad choice for two songs to go up against each other too. 
#929 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Steven Adler on Opie and Anthony HUGE GNR thing » 919 weeks ago
I'm sure they've probably been offered more as well. 150 million for 22 shows is pretty damn good.
#930 Re: Guns N' Roses » Josh Freese on Axl and Chinese Democracy » 919 weeks ago
Owning the rights to the name does not equal creative control necessarily. My point wasn't that he signed over the rights, just that others in the band obviously have some sway over what goes on.
He would never sign over the rights to anyone.
