“I lose a little bit of respect for an artist when they can’t let go of the past and move on to something truly new”

So a musician should start working as a waiter once his main band is over? That’s stupid. Like you. And you can pick up your little respect and push it up your ass

Well put Skwerl.
The dowload performance of Mark Bowen was JAW-DROPPING! Mike is still the top dog- by a longshot.

Album of the year does kick ass. I just dig Martin’s guitar tone on The Real Thing. I had no idea he wasnt that involved with Angel Dust. That’s one of my faves. I would definitely like to see the new lineup, though.

yeah i mean jim martin looks cool as shit and everything, and he’s a great guitarist. but to be real, from what i understand he didn’t contribute much to angel dust, besides jizzlobber. real thing is a classic album, and angel dust is probably my “favorite,” but there’s definitely a case for album of the year being their best.
i think anyone complaining that it isn’t the “original” lineup are pretty much jerkoffs.

Fuck Jim Martin..he was causing friction in the band and should just stick to growing pumpkins. I’m sick of hearing “where is Jim Martin?” What’s the appeal though? Yes he’s written most of the guitar tracks for ‘The Real Thing’ but in ‘Angel Dust’ he didn’t have the input people make out to be. Jon Hudson is a great guitarist and he wrote some of their best songs..’Ashes to Ashes’ and ‘Last Cup of Sorrow’…their current line-up is the best they had in their history.

pretty sure homme has stated that he’s been offered piles of money to get kyuss back together, but he’s not interested

I respect Mike Patton’s integrity. I don’t think he would have done it if it was half assed. Where is Jim Martin??????? He was the shit. Best Patton project was Fantomas. Fucking intense.

Let’s also leave open the possibility that a band that has money on the table could also just want to reunite. I don’t know that there’s money on the table for Soundgarden to reunite, but none of those guys have ever really talked shit or ruled out a reunion. I’d love to have more great Soundgarden albums, but not if it meant Matt Cameron would leave Pearl Jam.

@passenger: huge fan of kyuss & garcia, but i don’t know enough about the story, don’t really know where they left things off or where they stand. homme obviously moved on to bigger things, but what’s garcia said? has there been pressure to reunite?i guess what makes an example perfect in my mind is the conviction to leave the money on the table and keep moving forward, when there’s pressure to dig up the dead.

haha… sup dude. nah, i don’t think it was. i heard a lot of people were behind the plan, convinced they could get patton to go for it. i’ll have to find out for sure now though, gotta try and get an interview with someone that was supposedly there.

“And now Refused is my only perfect example of a band that quit while they were ahead and never looked back.”

Well yeah but… Kyuss. Sorry, had to say it.

By: Skwerl

Skwerl — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 01:25:05 +0000

ha. i understand your comment even if noone else does. as for refused, i would just make the point that refused existed in their own little ‘punkrock’ world, in which they were indeed huge. i suppose you’re right in the sense that they didn’t walk away from any piles of money, but i wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been offered big checks since, given that they influenced and are worshipped by so many bands that did break into big mainstream success.
i left soundgarden out, because i never considered a soundgarden reunion out of the question. i figure that’s bound to happen sooner or later.

By: Joseph Rose

Joseph Rose — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 23:45:29 +0000

Soundgarden is a better example than Refused, because Refused never really had commercial success on a level that would be a huge temptation to go back to. It’s easy for someone to walk away from a band that no one has ever heard of, yknow?

Having said that, I also know what it’s like to have time go by and then naturally feel ok about being back in certain situation. Hell, I currently play in a band with Joe Light, John Bozzuto and Tom Roller. Between the 4 of us, we’ve all been fired or quit bands with one another at some point in the past. It happens.

“And now Refused is my only perfect example of a band that quit while they were ahead and never looked back.”

Soundgarden. But of course, now that Cornell’s fallen on his ass like Corgan, Rossdale, et al did with their respective solo debuts, expect news of their reunion within the next year or so.

These reunions would excite me much more if they’d happened five years ago. As it is, the world has moved on and I suddenly feel like my dad, who’s still celebrating The Eagles’ comeback from last year. I just can’t let anyone know I’m excited about an FNM reunion (even though they kicked ass last night) without losing face. I’d rather be looking forward to a new Mr Bungle record.
