Wow. 100 pages?! I'll almost be glad when the NIN/SG leg is over so this thread can finally die a peaceful death.

Since it's a discussion/speculation thread, the only thing that will end with the tour is the speculation aspect. You really think anyone is going to stop discussing the tour after the tour is over?Originally Posted by FULLMETAL

What's wrong with this thread? It's just so people can talk about the tour even if they're not going to a particular show and not clutter up tour journals with people who weren't there

Oh, the discussion and relevant tour talk have been great. I was just cranky with insomnia.

I think it will make sense 'till we arrive to 1,000,000, dont you?

Who cares if a thread dies? Just don't go to it if you think it's stoopid.

Good gosh, lol..worse than it was in the 90s, didn't think it could be! Now I am kind of wanting some money back on my tix. What the heck. Never liked SG but that's bad!

FWIW, Cornell's fucked up voice is better than the lead from Health's on point voice. So I stand by my original statement: SG with a Chris Cornell that can't sing still > all the other NIN openers in the past 5 years
Stubby Member
NIN hasn't had that many other openers in the past five years? lol.

health, mew, io echo, the bug, death grips, SSSC, whoever the fuck opened up for them for tension, etc.NIN hasn't had that many other openers in the past five years? lol

It's not good by any stretch but Cornell's voice ain't THAT bad. Fuck, imagine if SG fans pulled up YT vids of LITS 2008 after Trent got sick. Or go and search recent Tool vids and listen to Maynard.
People get old, sheesh.

I'm not looking forward to Soundgarden anyway (though it'll at least be worth it if they play Pretty Noose -- do they ever play that these days?), but I don't understand why Cornell is playing guitar. It just makes him be way less good at the thing he's known for, while adding barely anything to the sound of the band. They need a backup guitarist and Chris needs to just sing. /armchair SG criticism from a non-fan

Comparatively speaking when said singers were in their 20's, of course. :Pwhoa whoa whoa now. Let's not get carried away here

MJK can't sing Vicarious or HWAP anymore, but he's still fucking awesome singing APC + Puscifer songs.

other than Mike Patton, every other singer over 40 cant sing/scream like they used too (including TR)...but Cornell sounds brutal on the 2014 vids.....

Haven't even heard of any of these bands but I would take them over SG
What Maynard sucks now? That's not good.

You only say that because you haven't heard them. 30 minutes of this and I wanted to Erase myself. This was actually the highlight of the set right here:Haven't even heard of any of these bands but I would take them over SG
No really, why the fuck do they even give the dude a mic?
And seriously, you guys would take death grips over soundgarden?
MJK can't sing the long brutal notes like he used to. To say that he can't sing is a massive exaggeration.

Maynard hasnt been able to sing live in over a decade. Its well known that APC and Tool are shit live these days....as for The Bug, never heard his solo stuff, but he used to partner up with Justin Broadrick from Godflesh in this really sick band called Techno Animal back in the day. They also had a digital hardcore band called Curse Of The Golden VampireHaven't even heard of any of these bands but I would take them over SG

I'll just leave this here:
NOONE that was actually there that night could reasonably proclaim that MJK can no longer sing.

Holy crap that last DG vid was bad! LOL. My bad, that is just crap. I will take SG over that and that's saying something. But I guess both will be on the tour, so one gets the best of both worlds, that's awful. Why are these bands touring with NIN? LOL...that's some funny crap. What the heck, it's like Blue Man Group meets Vanilla Ice meets Aphex Twin, with Vanilla Ice singing. No thanks.
Over a decade, Maynard? I doubt that.
Edit, the only ppl that can't sing in that APC video are those in the audience, LOL.

I was there that night!!!
Yes, Maynard still sounds fine with APC and Puscifer. He's lost quite a bit with Tool since some time after 10k Days for whatever reason- I understand it's not the same notes and that topic (he doesn't give a shit, mails it in for Tool, etc.) has been debated and beaten to death ad nauseum on forums so don't even feel like getting down there again.

Oh shit, my fault- didn't start the vid (just typing from phone during work break)- thought it was APC from Red Rocks back in '11. MJK sounded great that night, they were recording so he may have gotten a wee little bit of help. Sound wise it's probably the best show I've seen/heard.
Cant wait for Red Rocks in a month. Love that place.

so jelly, been wanting to make a trek out to Red Rocks for a show. It's like a top 5 destination for me, along with the Gorge.Oh shit, my fault- didn't start the vid (just typing from phone during work break)- thought it was APC from Red Rocks back in '11.

Another dedicated Wisconsinite here, haha. I traveled from Madison for both nights; worth it! On the topic of Maynard singing though, one of my favs of the night(s) was hearing him sing Breathe. "Don't forget to breeatheee!" (Edit: good stuff is around 3:22)
On the topic of traveling to NIN shows, I too am looking forward to Red Rocks. Lucky enough to be hitting up both nights
Stubby Member
I keep coming across different people saying Red Rocks is incredible. What is it about this place that is so awesome? The rocks, yea they look cool as hell but it's more than that right? I'm going for the first time in July and want to know what I should expect?Cant wait for Red Rocks in a month. Love that place.

The scenery is incredible (that's an understatement)- located high atop Red Rocks park. I'm sure you you can google image the hell out of it. There's a few of my pics below when I was there a couple months ago for work and had time to kill before a flight. The ampitheater is open during park hours- you can even go on the stage.
Ive be only been there once, so can't make too much out of it, but it really was probably the best sounding place I've ever been to. Who knew a couple of huge slabs 'o rock would make for great acoustics?
Also not a bad seat in the house, with narrow seating and stepping theatre-like rows. Also have enough room for each person, it's a bit shoulder to shoulder but your seating area is about 2 large people deep.
Add that with a somewhat intimate crowd of 9500 and it's a must-go-to for music lovers.
From the stage...
