toymaker Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) A 25th anniversary tour to celebrate an insignificant album? I had the album, nothing special at all.Just my opinion... In the summer of 91 two of my good friends died 3 months apart, one by suicide, one from cancer the summer of our high school graduation. I listened to this album many times and it made sense to me, told me it was okay to cry. Ok to yearn, ok to feel. So I wouldn't say this album is insignificant. Oh man, I know what you went through. I lost my best friend to a car accident around the same time. Well, I shouldn't say I know what you went through. We all deal with it differently, and the circumstances were certainly different.

The album strikes me as very personal, and that's a big part of why I love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 HEADLINE: Temple of the Dog Announce 2016 U.S. Tour to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of Self-Titled Album Technically, it's not wrong. It is a tour.But 5 dates a tour does not make ...let me rewrite the headlineTemple of the Dog Announce 2016 select U.S. Concert dates to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of Self-Titled AlbumThat's barely a warm-up for a tour. Come on guys, give us at least 10 shows with stops in the midwest. Given they only had one album, the set-list should be really interesting and creative. The non-TOTD songs will probably be Pearl Jam-ish since Kim Thayil is the driving force behind Soundgarden and he's not in the band. Or likely some Chris Cornell solo stuff in the mix. Hopefully a little Mother Love Bone. Also, I always thought Cornell ruled Soundgarden by Superunknown. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Don't worry everyone Tick looked in the mirror today and saw a 76 year old looking Tick looking back at him. He's an old man and he better start accepting it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) Not sure I would call the album insignificant. It did go platinum and had a couple of big singles off it. I'm surprised they're playing shows so many years later though. It's a short tour so they're probably testing what the demand is. I think booking MSG is a bit of a stretch. Of course, I didn't think GnR could still sell out stadiums this summer and I was proven wrong on that. That whole Seattle music scene from the 90s still has a huge fan base today, so who knows? Maybe they can fill arenas in the big cities. Edited July 25, 2016 by J2112YYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 They were around about 38 seconds so it's not surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 To be honest I don't know much about these guys. Think Pearl Jam with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden instead of Eddie Vedder. They only had one album, but it was awesome. Brooding, dark, powerful, bluesy and, at times, uplifting. The album was written for the death of Andrew Wood, roommate of Cornell and lead singer of Mother Love Bone which had future Pearl Jam members. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok...Only said how I felt about it, not how others should.Your comments are always welcome, just not valued in this instance by me. Your post struck me as a simple "meh", which really added nothing to the conversation. You are free to do that, of course. I am also free to mock it. :cheers: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I'm really bummed I decided not to attend the show when my friends and I couldn't get tickets. I'm hoping for a live album and blu-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
