Having seen him recently play an amazing gig at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire (possibly the best gig I’ve ever been to) I wouldn’t knocj it. Live it’s really good and made me want to go out and buy. His regular band play it , guitars n’all, and it was really good. On cd it has to be listened either thru headphones or a good sound set-up. Try it. Best tracks are Ground Zero, Climbing up the walls, Long Gone and Scream itself.
Live he was fucking amazing. We got early Soundgarden with Gun, later stuff like Pretty Noose and Like Suicide and of course Jesus Christ Pose, 2hrs 45 mins, 30 songs of pure Rock. What a guy.

I’d give it a chance live. If you caught his appearances on The Tonight Show and Carson Daily there’s a couple things to note:

1) He’s using a full band to play the new songs. He’s not singing over a hip hop track and so the songs live are different than they are on the album.

2) He’s got the same band as his last tour, which is a very good sign. Awesome band!

No sorry Chris, your new “direction” is a
shuddering embarresment..

Why don’t you take dance lessons from Jako, then you should be just about “ready” for your Nelly Furtado duet.

Oh and if he played the entire Scream, he wouldn’t have to hire any musicians, just a dj behind him would be enough. All the profit going straight to his pocket!

Poor guy. He was so perfect live, wonder what he’s gonna be up to now…
