Billy Corgan was interviewed on Mancow yesterday and talked about the reunion

“I just talked to [James Iha] the other day, things look good for us getting together to play. We’re talking about it, we’ll see.”

“Here’s the thing, being honest, there’s a willingness for us to play, but there’s also, the world has changed a lot since we didn’t play. The reunion thing is always a bit weird, because then people come in with their expectations. So my whole thing is if we’re going to do it, I think we do it to make people happy, and not go against the tide of what people would want to hear and that type of stuff, but my interest in it is sort of limited. I’m not going to do it for 14 years of my life.”

[crabshack]

[crabshack]

gonna put out a covers album.

gonna put out a 50-song set of "best of billy songs"

also doing a documentary. even went on periscope in the wind today.

he can't even count. that sounds like 4 projects.

[themadcaplaughs]

Wait, that shit last year was an actual project; with him and his weirdo wrestling buddies cackling like hyenas at poor, depressed parts of the country? It had a name? Gaul? When did he say any of this shit?

James Iha might want to really think about what he's stepping into here.

[FoolofaTook]

Gaul? Wtf is this shit some shit out of a Asterix comic?

Fuck yeah! They gotta get D'arcy involved too, but seeing James ripping it during a whole tour would still be super sweet

[FoolofaTook]

James wouldn't cut it for Boris. I mean he's got the look but lacks the chops.

[FoolofaTook]

Also how the fuck is weasle a demi god? Wtf? Im a minion of satan and that slinking slut is a demigod?

[FoolofaTook]

Fuzzy somewhere in some other thread i forget which one I've been smoking a lot lately this purple trainwreck crumble... as i was saying in some other thread i asked you if you would condescend to go there were billiam has been before namely would you fuzzyroes bone airplane mode?

[great poster]

it's still unbelievable to me that Billy and James are friends again, the fact that they're getting back together to play some more is really exciting

[Bomb The Moon]

the only way to tarnish the legacy any further, is to reassemble the original lineup.



hearing him say shit about doing it to "make people happy..."
what would make people happy is to release a fucking awesome SP album. groundbreaking.

Nah not even that hard just put out the Machina reissue and the unreleased Zwan stuff.

If he would just empty the vaults people might not be so upset that he's know basically retired doing art projects.

[Ram27]

Yeah that's a really good point. I might be amused at Siddartha and actually give it a chance if all the broken promises weren't in the back of my mind; things he could've been doing instead

[Brisk]

Where are those screenshots of billy's face someone posted?

See this is precisely what I was talking about when I so helpfully suggested perma bans. It would be to the benefit of us all.

"Sub Pop to Reissue Soundgarden’s Classic Debut LP ‘Ultramega OK’ (Newly Remixed + Expanded Edition) out March 10th

You might want to sit down for this one, dear reader, because on this coming March 10th, 2017, Sub Pop will release unto the world a remixed and expanded reissue of Soundgarden’s Ultramega OK, a long-planned “correction” of the legendary band’s GRAMMY®-nominated debut full-length. The album was originally recorded and released in 1988 on SST Records. While the band enjoyed working with the original producer, Drew Canulette, they soon realized they weren’t quite happy with the final mix. Thus, shortly after the album’s release, the band decided to remix the album for subsequent pressings. However, success intervened: the band rapidly scored a deal with A&M and began work on their major-label debut, Louder Than Love, and the Ultramega OK remix project fell by the wayside as Soundgarden climbed their way to (ultra)mega-stardom.

In 2016, after worldwide success, a hiatus, and many albums and tours, the band finally acquired the original multi-track tapes to Ultramega OK and carved out time to dig into the remix. They handed the tapes over to longtime friend and engineer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Skin Yard), who worked with the band to create a fresh mix of the album that, for the band, ties up this persistent loose end and remedies the sound of their debut full-length.

While they were at it, the band dug out six early versions of tracks that wound up on Ultramega OK. The songs were recorded in 1987 on 8-track tape by Jack Endino and Chris Hanzsek at Reciprocal Recording in Seattle, and mixed by Jack Endino in 2016. These versions feature the band in raw, powerful form – sonically closer to the band’s Endino-recorded six-song debut, Screaming Life – and provide a fascinating window into the development of songs that eventually became staples of the band’s set. The six songs comprise what the band refers to as Ultramega EP, and they are included in this reissue.

Ultramega OK is available for preorder available now on CD / 2xLP / DL / CASS from Sub Pop and soundgardenworld.com. The album comes packaged in a foil-stamped gatefold with custom dust sleeves, features liner notes from Kim Thayil and Jack Endino, and includes a previously unseen photo from renowned photographer Charles Peterson. Preorders of the LP from megamart.subpop.com, soundgardenworld.com, and select independent retailers will receive the Loser edition on marble blue and maroon vinyl (while supplies last).

The title alone would have been sufficient.

You have three minutes to edit the above post before I command pavementune to perma ban your ass.
