Word. I saw Soundgarden on their first tour in almost 14 years this summer. Chris Cornell told the audience that they would have a new CD coming out in a few months...and then said "we will be playing nothing off that CD tonight, nothing post 1997". The show rocked, and I heard every SG song I wanted to hear.

The last time I saw Maiden, they played the "A matter of life and death" album cover to cover.
Came out for an encore, played Hallowed be thy name, and then left!
Since then I have refused to give them another cent of my money!

I did happen to catch VH when they reunited with Dave, would absolutely spend the coin to see them again! (as long as they don't play this new crap

)

Interestingly enough, that isn't a new song. It's off their demo album in like '76 or so. It's not bad. What's going to be sorely lacking and odd to adjust to is the backing vocals. They sounded like me and my buddies trying to carry a tune at 12 yrs old. No way they can pull that off now.

Just watched the video...Boy, did that suck! Was that a toilet I just heard flush? Ain't never gonna get that 4 minutes and 43 seconds back.
