WHO NEEDS CHRIS CORNELL WHEN WE HAVE TADGARDEN?
Thursday, March 26th, 2009 at 10:15am by Gary SuarezOK, so far it seems like a one-off thing, but how incredibly awesome must it have been for Seattle concertgoers to witness 3/4 of Soundgarden reunited onstage together with Tad Doyle this past Tuesday night? (Thanks to fellow twitterer Mark Carrass for alerting me to this. Social networking fucking rules.) Sure, the (literally) massive grunge veteran doesn’t have the vocal range of Chris Cornell, but watching this sweet video footage of the band playing “Nothing To Say” makes it evident that that’s beside the point. You wont have to dig much deeper on YouTube to catch the clip for “Spoonman” featuring former Cornell cohort Tom Morello on rhythm guitar. Fortunately, no Audioslave songs were performed.
Mr. Cornell could not be reached for comment (I tried!), as he is currently in Chile in support of his latest solo album which nobody seems to like.

It’s “Hunted Down” not “Nothing to Say”
My bad. That’s what I get for opening browser windows with videos for all three tracks they played.
That’s cool. It was excellent nonetheless so thanks for posting.
Fatgarden?
I knew the Crocodile reopening would lead to awesome things – I just didn’t think it’d be this fast!
yeah, that’s cool it was at the crocodile. That way you could probably get close enough to smell Tad.
LOL@ Sammy..Fatgarden…im still curious about further fallout from this. What would cornell say? what would he do? will Matt Cameron leave Pearl Jam? will Ben Shepherd be relevant again? Will Tad cover “Slaves And Bulldozers” next? and why the hell did I buy into “Scream”?
SCREAMing Life is the only scream i know and they played the two best tracks off that album. I couldn’t smell Tad but im the long hair three minutes into hunted down thats rockin’ out in front of kim thayil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
