Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Ugh... he was doing 4 or 5 Soundgarden songs with the original members backing him... to my mind the most promising part of the show. Now, I wonder how they'll scramble to split up his songs...

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
From Blabbermouth.com:
“Gibson announced today (Tuesday, January 15) the release of a limited-edition Chris Cornell Tribute ES-335 guitar. The guitar will officially be unveiled at "I Am The Highway: A Tribute To Chris Cornell", the star-studded concert event honoring Chris Cornell's legacy and contribution to music history on Wednesday, January 16 at The Forum in Los Angeles.
"Chris Cornell was not only one of the most iconic singer songwriters of all time, he was a modern innovator who left a legacy that transcends music genres and generations," says Cesar Gueikian, chief merchant officer, Gibson. "It is our honor to release this tribute ES-335 in his memory. It's a guitar Chris fell in love with and which became a part of his creative expression. Chris was a special artist and we hope that this guitar will inspire fans to find their sound, and inspiration, just like Chris did, for many years to come."
This show is quickly taking on an aura of grotesque exploitation.

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Avery on a TotD song?! Now that really would be bizarre, and for a host of reasons. I find it hard to believe that if Matt Cameron and Stone Gossard are there, that Ament wouldn't be. All of this aside from the fact that I see even less of a connection between EA and TofD and its members.
Sadly, the commercial takeover isn't much of a surprise. LiveNation will be selling locks of his hair dipped in gold with the proceeds going to the grieving widow.
As for Patton, flu or cold, apparently.

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
That would have been absolutely killer. In fact it would be really intruiging if that contingient started writing music together.
Also, are all bands and artists playing strictly Cornell material?
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
I believe the Melvins are opening playing their own material, but beyond that almost entirely Cornell material, including some songs he covered.
I think the Foo Fighters were doing one of their songs, but as a tribute?
I just scanned someone else's copy of the setlist, I have to go off memory...
And, this was yesterday, so "subject to change" of course...

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
I'd rather hear a congested Mike Patton than a healthy Perry Farrell.
I am honestly looking forward to hearing what Miley Cyrus does. I think she's fully capable of knocking it out of the park.

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Agreed on both points. People are hating on her but I think it makes sense for her to apart of it.
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
As expected, Cochise was extremely bad.
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
But now Juliette Lewis is singing be yourself by audioslave and that is ten times worse
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
It's a bit laboured....
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Perry and Morello better combo now than Perry and Dave.

Eric's appearance at 5:30ish (timestamps don't work well with this site). He's not formally introduced other than "we need a bass player", but you can kinda see him
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
She was awesome on All Night Thing, and Miley Cyrus was really, really good too.
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
man, that sounds pretty bad. Well, it's in standard 440 tuning, poor guy's not used to it. Sounds tuned down to me though
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Miley Cyrus sounds great!
Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
Miley. Damn. Knew it.
You guys think she's maybe available to sing for Jane's Addiction?

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
So many mixed feelings about this event. There were some great moments, many not. Although I enjoyed it overall, the whole thing left me pretty cold as it just seemed so divorced from the artists I had known and loved for three decades. It felt more like a barometer of his legacy than a genuine tribute. There were too many artists who actually had little to do with Chris, and this watered down the love. Not to mention notable absences, like Eddie Vedder.
Other than that:
I didn't think Perry was embarrassing, which is a result.
Miley Cyrus...was painful, for me. Yes, she has a voice, but having her sing 'Say Hello to Heaven' bordered on criminal.
EA got a name check from Stone after the had played the song, but was pretty anonymous otherwise.
Chaney was up there for 3-4 songs, I think, and was completely anonymous. Normal service, in other words.
I can't say that I had heard of Taylor Momsen before last night, but she was brilliant. One of the best vocalists of the night, along with Brandi Carlile...whom I know nothing about.

To be fair, many of the people who were close to Chris in Seattle are now dead as well.phenobarb_bambalam wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 6:58 pmThere were too many artists who actually had little to do with Chris, and this watered down the love.
And keep in mind, just because someone wasn't friends with Chris doesn't mean they weren't supremely influenced by him. This was an opportunity for some relatively well known musicians to pay tribute to him.
He did his tribute in August at his own show. Played a Chris song solo, by himself. Then played another solo acoustic song for Petty.Not to mention notable absences, like Eddie Vedder.
The guy has never really been high profile.
She sings for The Pretty Reckless, who are... on record... a pretty straight forward radio rock band.I can't say that I had heard of Taylor Momsen before last night, but she was brilliant. One of the best vocalists of the night,
But I have seen them live, and they are dirty and bluesy and everything good about Rock n Roll.
She was at the Pearl Jam shows in August. She's a friend of the band. She's kind of a newer artist. I wasn't too into what I heard of hers, so never explored it more. But she's aight.along with Brandi Carlile...whom I know nothing about.

Re: Both Eric and Perry are Involved with the Chris Cornell Tribute Concert
What was the vibe like during the soundgarden set? I’m watching the videos and it’s making me sad. Not because it sounds bad, but because it’s just such a reminder of what a loss they endured.phenobarb_bambalam wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 6:58 pmSo many mixed feelings about this event.
