So the rest of the band (including the stupidly named YtimK) looked for a replacement.
Many names were bandied about:
Chuck D - Now that would be a god-like matching
B Real - Yeah right
At The Drive-In Singer - because he sounds the same.
But they have finally announced who it is.
Ready? ....*drumroll*....Chris Cornell.
Yup, ol' Mr Soundgarden is in RATM.
And that's a big EH? from me. I just can't see it.
Cornell has some lungs, that's for sure but c'mon...can you ever stomach a lusty "Kiilliiiiiiiiing in the naaaaame offffffffff" with 3 different octaves per line?
Doesn't work.
You need someone angry and happy to shout until he gets a red-face and a headache.
Having Mr Vocal range just isn't the same.
I saw RATM twice and they were both incendiary shows, two of the best (if scary) that I've ever been to.
And I've seen Soundgarden twice, and whilst I like the music? The live shows were rubbish (apart from bass playing Ben Shepard, that boy knows his rock stances).
Zack...boy is that one peeved man.
I'm trying to imagine the misery he caused his parents when he hit puberty.
We're notoriously grumpy kids at that age, but jesus...Zack being even more angry, imagine that.
"Zack dear, can you tidy your room up?....Zack? Why are you trembling? Do you know you've gone purple?"
"aaarrrrRRRGGGGGHHHHHh Yeah! No tidy the room...AARRGGHHH...Zapista Revolution Muddyfunster...AAARGGGHHHHHH"
"Oh Zack, please calm down"
"....sorry mum"
