Report: Soundgarden, Lady Gaga and Green Day to headline Lollapalooza…

Leave a comment

This year’s Lollapalooza is HUGE. Very impressive lineup. I’m liking it a lot. Other than Soundgarden being one of the headliners, Lady Gaga and Green Day will also headline. Other surprising acts that made the lineup: Phoenix, Social Distortion, Wolfmother, Metric and Erykha Badu.

While this year’s line up is very impressive, Green Day doesn’t fit the bill. Green Day is a bad choice. Soundgarden, Lady Gaga, and Green Day just doesn’t ring. Soundgarden and Lady Gaga is good, but get Green Day the hell off. I don’t like Green Day anymore.

I would rather have Alice In Chains be Green Day’s replacement.

The question you have to ask is, why is Lady Gaga headlining a rock music festival when she’s not rock, it’s pop? Well, if you listen to Lady Gaga’s songs, they do have an arena rock vibe to them. Any rock n’ roll band can cover her songs and make them rock songs. Lady Gaga’s music has a lot of rock influence. She’s very tight and energetic. I think she fits the bill perfectly.

Anyways, when will local act, Phantogram, ever get on a Lollapalooza slot? I can definitely see Phantogram getting booked for Lollapalooza one day and it would be great for them. I’m sure they will make it there if we can somehow get Phantogram’s music to Perry Ferrell’s attention. I believe Perry himself books all the bands since it’s his festival.

See the rest of the lineup here, wish I could go to Chicago and see the show:

Edit to add: Now that Erykha Badu is booked for Lollapalooza this year, you also gotta wonder if she will strip naked on stage when she performs her new song “Window Seat” there. Will Perry Ferrell allow that? I think he would. 🙂 Knowing how crazy Perry really is and that man loves to party!

Thought: Shouldn’t Tom Morello be thanked for the Soundgarden reunion?

2 Comments

Ever since the shocking announcement of the official Soundgarden reunion by Chris Cornell, I couldn’t believe, Tom Morello was ignored for this. Shouldn’t people be thanking him for the Soundgarden reunion? Remember, it was Tom Morello that made the Soundgarden reunion happen. Tom brought the Soundgarden guys out to the Crocodile Cafe with Tad fronting. That got Chris Cornell into wanting to rejoin Soundgarden again and it happened. It actually fucking happened.

Some people may not like the band Audioslave, but they should be respected. Audioslave was responsible for bringing RATM and Soundgarden back to the music industry. Think about it. If it wasn’t for Tom Morello and Audioslave, then the reunions of RATM and Soundgarden would have never happened. If it wasn’t for Tom, Soundgarden would still be denying reunion rumours to this day.

Now that Soundgarden is finally back and headlining Lollapalooza, Tom should be a musical hero for this. I’m pretty sure Tom is all cool with not being with Audioslave anymore and Soundgarden being back instead ’cause Tom is a huge Soundgarden fan himself. He wanted that Soundgarden reunion to happen himself and he made it happen. Tom did it for us.

Tom deserves all the support from everyone for this, so at least give him some respect that he deserves even if you’re not into RATM or Audioslave. Thank YOU TOM!!!! 🙂

BREAKING NEWS: Soundgarden is reuniting, yes, this is for real!

Leave a comment

Chris Cornell announced on his official website, that Soundgarden is officially reuniting for a tour and a possible new album. Look like the band’s been waiting to announce this on New Year’s Day. Yes, that means Chris Cornell, Kim Thayill, Ben Sheperd, and Matt Cameron are all coming back! This is the best news I’ve heard in years ’cause Soundgarden is one of my favorite bands and they’re heros of mine. They’re one of the most unique and powerful metal bands out there. I loved all of their music. When they go on tour in 2010 and if they come to Albany for the Times Union Center, I’m so fucking there! Soundgarden coming back after 12 years! This is awesome. Most band reunions are silly and stupid, but this is an important one that is worth happening. I hope they come out with a new album, they probably will.

Oh yeah, and happy new year!

Ever since the brief Soundgarden reunion in Seattle, Chris is still talking about it. I think we’ll get an official Soundgarden reunion later this year with Chris as frontman! Soundgarden should go on tour with Metallica or Alice in Chains! And put out a new album too!

Report: Chris Cornell hints at wanting to rejoin Soundgarden as frontman…

Leave a comment

Chris Cornell said he was totally surprised by the Soundgarden reunion with Tad Doyle as frontman at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, Washington. Chris says he wished he was there and wished he was the frontman instead. When asked about rejoining Soundgarden, he said, “You never know”.

Sounds like he is definitely interested in re-joining Soundgarden again and I hope it happens.
