841.0. "Temple Of The Dog" by RAVEN1::JERRYWHITE (Hey you're pretty good - NOT !) Thu Apr 30 1992 11:25

    Anybody heard of these guys ?  A buddy let me borrow a tape, pretty
    good stuff, and a LOT of variety.  He said the members were from
    Primus, Soundgarden (I think ...) plus some other guys ...

    	Great release!!!  I think the lineup is discussed in the Pearl Jam
    note but...  Temple of the Dog was a tribute to the singer of Mother
    Love Bone.  Members include people from Soundgarden, MLB (now in Pearl
    Jam), and I think, Green River.
    
    	If I remember I'll bring in the cd and enter the actual lineup.
    
    	The cd is kinda hard to find but well worth it!

	For the sake of redundancy (and continuity).

	When I first looked for their disc I didn't see it anywhere around the
	Boston area - a couple months ago though I got it in Newbury Comics,
	if memory...most likely.

 	 Drums, Percussion 	- Matt Cameron     (Soundgarden)
	 Vox, Harmonica, Banjo 	- Chris Connel (Soundgarden)
	 Lead Guitars 		- Mike McCready
	 Rhythm, Slide, Acoustic Guitars 	- Stone Gossard
	 Bass 			- Jeff Ament

	Susan Silver, their manager also manag-ed (-es?) Nirvana - if I ever 
	get to it I'll post some extracts from a recent Goldmine issue - the 
	Aberdeen/Olympia/North West, and OH yea, WTF, Seattle article.

    marathons to drive me crazy.  I even know most of the lyrics now...

    This album is great.  I don't care what you people think!
    
    I played it for a friend, and he liked it so much he wants to buy
    himself a copy!  And he hasn't even heard of Soundgarden or Pearl Jam!

841.21Doesn't mean I don't *like* it, but it sucks...GOES11::G_HOUSEBig cheese, MAKE me!Mon Feb 01 1993 14:599
    Note that I didn't say I don't *like* Chris Cornell, Soundgarden,
    Temple of the Dog, or whatever else he might have been on, but his
    voice is really pretty poor.  It has a thin, grating tonality when he
    pushes it, like he does on about 90% of what he sings.  It's nasty! It
    becomes obvious how bad Chris's voice really is on "Hunger Strike"
    where he's trading off lines with Eddie Vedder (who has a great 
    voice).

841.22Not really worth arguing over :)COMET::MARTINNToo sexy for this conferenceMon Feb 01 1993 15:033

    screams...)

    I like him but I'd have to say - Eddie Vedder ...
    
    About the comment of me not making any comments -
    I work on weekends  B^(.
    
    Overall the album was well done and Chris Cornell's work is good, Chris
    is much better on the Single's Soundtrack with his solo song - the
    title eludes me ...

    Chris Cornell has one of the most powerful voices around at this time. 
    Temple of the Dog is a good album but in no way does justice to this
    guy's talents.....now badmotorfinger...
    
    Flip
841.61Yes, but ...COMET::VERMETTECThe guy with the Rush hat ... Mon Feb 08 1993 06:424
    I think he shines on Badmotorfinger. The type of songs on TOTD, are
    suited to that as much as Eddie Veddr who sang back-up. I like Chris
    but Eddie has overall flexability that Chris doesn't.
    
841.62PEKING::PERKINSPI laughed so hard I think I diedMon Feb 08 1993 08:307
    
    If EV has an overall flexability then he has yet to show it.  I'm
    afraid his material so far has bored me.  Chris Cornell's voice has the
    same kind of effect on me as say Geoff Tate on earlier Queensryche
    albums in that it goes straight in and grabs you by the goolies.  8^)

    Chris Cornell is a better screamer then Vedder. Unfortunately that's
    all Cornell can do... scream.

    >     Chris Cornell is a better screamer then Vedder. Unfortunately that's

    	I agree. I think the vocal ranges of EV are wider than CC *except*
    for the screams. In comparision, Ten vs. Badmotorfinger, Ten wins hands
    down, IMHO. 
841.65They're a floor wax AND a desert topping...GNUVAX::BUCKLEYOne who doesn't care is one who shouldn't beTue Feb 16 1993 12:3214
    Because I've sung most of my life, I just gotta say that I like Chris
    Cornell AND Eddie Vedder very much, but like, one's a floor wax and
    one's a desert topping -- meaning that, (as some of you can attest to),
    I love to sing CC songs (Say Hello to Heaven, Pushin Forward Back) when
    I just wanna scream and let it all out and be able to "take it easy"
    musically.. cause with CC, you always get to sing on the beat, even if
    you gotta scream some real high notes.  But with Eddie, man, you gotta
    be on top of your game musically, cause his vocals are very subtle and
    his phrasing is as intricate as Billie Holiday's ever was.. he's rarely
    on the beat; often just behind it.. and he adds little inflections that
    are very difficult to reproduce exactly.  Vedder is truly a gifted
    vocalist, but Cornell has moments when you're feelin so emotional that
    you just want someone to sing a song for you and scream it all out..

    Chris, I'm just wondering.... why is the song disgusting?  It's not
    about sex, even though the title makes it sound like it.

    Actually I have no idea why I wrote that. In fact I don't even remember
    writing it,oh well.
    
    At first I didn't like it, now I just like Cornell's vocals.

    I think there both great singers whose vocals in TOTD went together 
    very well.  I love both Badmotorfinger and Ten, and I'm sorry they
    won't be singing together again. (At least in the near future)
    
    Having TWO quality lead singers in a group adds so much more to
    what a band can do.  Especially with the two different styles
    in which they sang.

    I actually heard that they were considering doing a second TOD project
    since the first one did so well.
