Re: Soundgarden: Lollapalooza
I'm in shock that they ended the show by playing a snippet of Overfloater. That is completely out of left field.
edit: Fucking pathetic that a mass exodus occurred as Black Hole Sun was ending. The band should start the show with that tune so the dipshits leave and the hardcores can all run to the front and enjoy the show.
Re: Soundgarden: Lollapalooza
Cornell is definitely exceeding expectations vocally and the band is literally on fire. Could not possibly play these songs any better.
Hate how Slaves and Bulldozers cuts off before the tease of Overfloater. Pretty obvious even without seeing it that Ben just started the intro before leaving the stage as the show is clearly over.
This really needs a DVD release.

That shit is starting to piss me off. Just out of principle. I still don't understand to this very day what the throbbing hard on is for Black Hole Sun. It's an okay song.
Anybody that goes to an SG show just to hear Black Hole Sun is a fucking deaf mutant that shouldn't be allowed in a John Denver Tribute show, let alone anything fuckin' else with a guitar.
There I said it. Now i'll watch the vid's...

Randy Johnson's new gig: World's tallest rock 'n roll photographer
By 'Duk / Yahoo! Sports
When future Hall of Famer Randy Johnson(notes) retired earlier this year, many assumed that becoming a pitching coach was his next natural step.
But leave it to one of the most unorthodox pitchers of his era to pursue an unusual and unexpected passion in his post-baseball life.
Rock 'n roll photographer.
As reported by Noisecreep, Johnson was spotted among the crowds that packed Chicago's Grant Park last weekend for the Lollapalooza music festival. And not only did The Big Unit stand out because he's 6-foot-10, but also because he was toting a fancy camera in hopes of getting a great shot of Chris Cornell and Co. during Soundgarden's comeback concert on Sunday night.
Johnson's love of music has been documented before '” it only made sense given his wonderful mullet '” and he also picked up a lot of musician friends during the time he spent pitching for the Seattle Mariners. But this is the first time we've known that his retirement plans included being William Miller with a Canon and a 99-mph fastball.
Here's what Johnson told Noisecreep at Lollapalooza:
"This is my first summer available to go to shows, since I spent the last 26 years playing baseball, so my time was limited. [...] I have four kids and there is usually there is a concert in Arizona I can go to. I've enjoyed music forever, and photography, so one plus one. I envy these photographers that shoot for the bands, taking great pictures, having total access and getting them published."
What makes Johnson's pursuit even stranger is that he was involved in an infamous confrontation with a TV camera man when he signed with the Yankees in 2005. Now he's on the opposite side of the lens as seen in this picture from Deadspin.
(The blurry guy in the shorts is Soundgarden and Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron.)
Seriously though, Johnson is doing the things that he wants to do, no matter what role the wider world thinks he should be playing. I think that's all kinds of awesome and it gives me a new level of respect for him.
Well, so long as he doesn't insist on working in front of me at the next show I attend, of course.
