Q: Not to be Rick Rubin, but Sonic Youth: great guitar band, powerful drummer, which could use an actual singer ... It would be amazing. I would never have to pick up a guitar again. I would become a geek. I'm like that. I'm very inquisitive. I remember the first time I was onstage with Tom Morello back in the Audioslave days. "What exactly is going on here?" was going through my head when I was watching him. I went to a Sonic Youth show in Seattle one time and I watched the guitar tech and (guitarist) Thurston (Moore) loading out, and I was counting the guitars. They had stacks of them. None of them were expensive. They had stacks of them because they had so many tunings. That had an impact on me. Sonic Youth are there for you. There are no rules. |

I's like to see Beyonce fronting Sonic Youth. As long as she promised to use the auto-tune thingy, obviously.

I'm not crazy about the guy, but that's a nice quote.

The original question is kind of lame. Why does Sonic Youth need an "actual singer"? I love Chris Cornell and all, but his vocals would never fit Sonic Youth.

He would definitely sound well in one of the songs off Sonic Death.

"which could use an actual singer"?
Whoever wrote that question is embarassing. |

I stopped listening to soundgarden after Loder Than Love. I enjoyed Cornell more when he was wailing at high register, full on kevin;s mom and shit. his lower register growl croon sucks, and I hate it.

Yeah, he's a moron. Shitty one finger tuned-to-mud-sharp-riffs riffs and then he occasionally steps on a pedal or turns his volume on and off and people act like he's a guitar genius. None of those people who regard him so highly have heard the guy from Melt Banana, who makes Tom Morello seem like fucking Jandek in comparison.
That's not a Jandek knock, by the way. I love Jandeks' guitar playing, just noting that... fuck it, nevermind, I'd rather listen to Jandek play all day long than to listen to one of Morello's shitty riffs. |

i thilnk that it would be interesting if they did a song together or something. maybe they could slap him and wake him up from whatever daze he's been in since the good days of soundgarden. but i wouldn't want to ever see him "front" the band. that's thurston's job for the most part. and the fact that thurston couldn't ever said to be "fronting" SY is evidence of the fact that both kim and lee are amazing vocalists. thurston just seems to sing moore. and he's the tallest so he's always "fronting."

Ahhh why do people always knock Cornell's solo career? Rock music isn't the only good music. He's working with Timbaland, so what, it's neat music. It takes balls to do that because he's probably losing more old-time fans than gaining new ones.

it does NOT take balls to do commercial pap with played-out Timbaland.
all it takes is the desire to remain seemingly relevant and make money off of idiots.
