This is to be expected after Chris Cornell's failure at a solo career.

I guess I'm happy to hear they're coming back. I've never really been a huge fan of grunge in general since I started getting into music back in the early 90s, but I've never disliked Soundgarden. I'm sure I'm in the complete minority here, but I've also really never gotten into Chris Cornell's voice all that much. However, I like how I can still listen to some of their songs when they periodically come on the radio like "Spoonman" or "Pretty Noose" many years later and just think "Ah, this song still freaking rocks even now."

I'm so glad grunge is coming back. All we need now is for Kurt to rise from his grave.

I'd much prefer an Audioslave comeback. I actually agree with Artie on this one. |

This is going to suck hard! Have you HEARD Chris' solo stuff? A move of pure desperation.

Audioslave was good for the time but I'm kind of interested to hear what a reunited Soundgarden has to say at this point, and same with RATM if they decide to release something new. Two great tastes are better than one.

Two great tastes are better than one. I guess that's where we differ. Audioslave: Great Soundgarden: Good RAtM: Decent Various side projects between the bands: Meh (And yes, I realize Audioslave could be considered a side project). |

I agree with reply 13. You take away the most annoying part of Rage Against The Machine, the whining incoherent political babblings, and keep one of the hardest rhythms sections around along with an adventerous guitarist. In Soundgarden, you keep on of the strongest vocalists to come out of the '90s and get rid of an average grunge backing band.
Mix them together, and Audioslave comes out above them all. And all three solo side projects that came from the bands have been forgettable at best.

Soundgarden, ftw. I'm curious, like hearing what Alice in Chains sounded like this past year, but mostly I'm indifferent to the idea of a reunited Soundgarden, except for the possibility of finally seeing them live. (Then again, I've seen Chris Cornell live 3 times doing plenty of Soundgarden material and if you close your eyes, it couldn't have been too different.)
Not that Audioslave was bad by any means, but I was just so used to hearing Tom, Tim, and Brad with Zack, that it was always an admitted challenge to accept them playing with anyone else, let alone the voice of Soundgarden.
I bought the first two Audioslave records the days they came out. And it's not like Out of Exile was even a mediocre record or anything, and if I could've afforded it at the time, I would've bought Revelations and obviously listened to it. But well over 2 years after getting a burned copy of it, I still haven't even bothered checking it out yet.

Personally, I've found Audioslave's singles to range from good to really average. I find Soundgarden more consistent overall.
But given Cornell's recent track record of complete mediocrity, this could go both ways.
