Those last three songs on Revelations are great. Rest of the album... not as great.

Sat down and tried to compile a cohesive album collection out of the 17+ songs from Down On The Upside. One, that isn't necessarily bloated and no more than an hour in length.
BUT: I noticed that it's fucking hard. Those songs are either too good to be left off or they're too unique. You would miss 'em when they're not there. This is an incredibly rare thing for a 16 song album. I think DOTU is underrated, because it's probably overshadowed by Superunknown.

Where did you find these songs? Bootleg?

I was referring to the 16 songs on the album and the b-sides from singles and compilations... like Kristi or Bleed Together.

The DOTU b-sides are really cool, love Kristi, Karaoke and A Splice of Space Jam. I wonder if there's anything more we haven't heard from that era... so many sonic directions are displayed on the record. More atmospheric stuff like Applebite would've been great, I reckon that's one of SG's most unique songs.
Picked up the 2016 pressing of Louder Than Love, and Badmotorfinger today, both sound really awesome! Played them loud for Chris.
House Always Wins
Guns N' Roses covered the obvious Black Hole Sun and it sounded pretty good. YouTube it.

Yes, yes, damn and hell yes. Applebite's in my top 5. It's groovy and creepy as hell.

Chris talks about touring with GN'R. Pretty funny.
There were two main things: First, they had this enormous aluminum stage with catwalks, and at the end of each catwalk was a teleprompter so Axl [Rose] could read the lyrics to his own songs," Cornell replied. "Which I thought was a little weird, since they only had two albums. The other thing was that you were not allowed to be in a hallway or anywhere where Axl might see you when he was walking between the dressing room and the stage... unless you were Chris Cornell. So, one day, I see a security guard walking him down this long corridor where there's no one except for me, and it's like they want me to see him. He's wearing his Axl Rose tennis shoes that say 'Axl Rose' on them and these teeny-tiny, painted-on red shorts, a backwards baseball cap and a fur coat that goes to the floor. And he just walks by and goes, 'Hey, bro!' And that was it. At that point, it's one of those moments where

Oh fuck yeah, Bleed Together. Forgot about that song. My first venture into Soundgarden was, rather boringly, A Sides.

I always wanted to see Chris release another Soundbook album. That album was outstanding and I am sooo so glad I caught the Boston show.
Unintelligible Whispering
It's still a great place for an introduction. I love Bleed Together, I remember at the time when they were finished, I had that song on repeat for a good month, thinking to myself "what a great one to exit stage left with".
Stubby Member
From another soundtrack...

I was thinking earlier this week how fucking cool it would have been if Soundgarden had ever done MTV Unplugged...

The closest you can get is Chris' excellent Soundbook album.

https://consequenceofsound.net/2017/...omment-page-2/eddie vedder kicked off a european solo tour in amsterdam on saturday night. Reeling from the death of his longtime friend and collaborator chris cornell, the performance was said to be an emotional one, with vedder playing several songs in tribute to the soundgarden singer.in his opening performance of pearl jam’s “long road”, vedder changed the lyrics to “without you/ something is missing.” a cover of cat stevens’ “trouble” followed. Vedder than played pearl jam’s “sometimes” during which he cried out, “where were you, dear god?” other notable performances included his own composition “without you”, a cover of neil young’s “the needle and the damage done” (a song about heroin addiction), and pearl jam’s “immortality”. He opened the first encore with a cover of fugazi’s “i’m so tired”, which features lyrics like, “out here/ barely see my breath/ surrounded by jealousy and death/ i can’t be reached/ only had one call/ dragged underneath separate from you all/ you all.”
at one point during the concert, a fan yelled out, “i love you!”, to which vedder responded, “thank you. I need it – we all need it. I’m thinking of a lot of people tonight. And some in particular and their families. And i just know that healing takes time, if it ever happens. It takes time, and that means you have to start somewhere. So let it be music. Let it be love and togetherness. And let it be amsterdam.”
a pearljam.com member named electro_uk who attended the show, posted the following account to the band’s message board:
“the show was pretty much entirely about chris without directly mentioning him. It was clear eddie couldn’t bring himself to talk about it head on. He spoke a little how the healing process can start with music and made numerous references to how sad he was and how much he and his friends were struggling.
frankly it is the bravest performance i have ever seen. At times it seemed like he was a word or two away from breaking into tears. He mumbled more than usual, he violently stamped into the floor on immortality and others and after ‘the end’ i thought he was ready to just walk off and not play anymore. There were funny moments and he picked up in the second half. You could hear the crowd emotionally gasp when light years started. On the outro to ‘sometimes’ he cried out ‘where were you, dear god?’ it was heart breaking.”
Stubby Member
Can't imagine how Eddie must be feeling at the moment, the sadness is really settling in now.
Alain posted a video of him doing a short, but really beautiful cover of Disappearing One. Another record with Chris, Alain and Natasha would've been amazing. Euphoria Mourning is an absolute masterpiece.
Active Member
Yeah, that was one of the first thoughts I had when I got the news. Like, "Goddamn, Eddie will be crushed."

damn, I am so glad and lucky to see it and that was probably the highlight of pj20, i can't believe we won't be able to witness that ever again.
still can't believe he's gone.

Goddamn, that temple of the dog video. Can't believe someone I have never met is still giving me the feels.
Stubby Member
Just listened to King Animal, and Bones of Birds hit me hard.
"Time is my friend
Till it ain't, and runs out
And that is all
That I have till it's gone"
Fuck.
I just can't believe any of it. Seeing all these articles, tributes, and even seeing Chris being referred to in the past tense just feels really bizarre. I remember hoping that it was some sort of cruel hoax when the news first broke.
Active Member
Never took the time to listen to King Animal. Gonna change that asap.
Throbbing Member
Enjoy. really, enjoy it. I've personally liked it from day 1, it's so much better than any PJ album released in the past 14 years.
We need to cherish it even more now, there will most likely be no follow up.
such a waste.
Throbbing Member
I felt dirty looking at that article. All of those secret shots and commenting on what celebrities were there and what they were wearing. It all feels like missing the fucking point. But I should expect as much from the Daily Mail.
Active Member
Hopefully there are some demos they can clean-up, and some other odds and ends for one final album. Chris was working on songs for a cover album, hopefully they will see the light of day.
