I have a hard time thinking of Soundgarden without Cornell's vocals.
Maybe it will be great, but Soundgarden without Chris is just a cover band playing their songs.

 

[BadMoFo]

Sorry, there’s no soundgarden without Chris Cornell.

 

[borisman]

Nope.
Why don’t they pull Nirvana,Alice in Chains and Jimi Hendrix.
Did Pearl Jam say nyet? Vedder is still alive. They can’t squeeze it into their tour?

Same. I was able to see them with NIN in 2014 before he passed. Great show.

The Village People would be more appropriate for these 2 states.

Unless there's a necromancer bringing Chris Cornell back from the dead...I dunno..

There are very rare examples of bands continuing on without their original lead singer. Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and there may be others I can't think of. I wouldn't put Alice in Chains in this category because Jerry Cantrell would sing on many of the songs.

90's Soundgarden was insane though and one of my favorite bands growing up. I was a 90's grunge kid.

I don't care for Taylor Momson. Female rock singers are just too cheesy and try to hard. Linkin Park is embarrassing with their new singer.

Mike McCready joining is fine as Chris, Matt and Mike had the tribute band "Temple of the Dog".

But it was Eddie and Chris' singing that made it what it was.
Now someone could probably sing Eddie's part of Hunger Strike, but there's not many humans that could sing Chris' part and do it justice.

Halftime performance in week 1 of a 17 game schedule? Seems a bit much.

Genesis and Van Halen were very successful and some debate that the lead replacement was actually an improvement.

As someone who grew up with Van Halen, Van Haggar was not even remotely close to Van Halen with DLR.
They had great commercial success with Sammy as they went more main stream/softer with their music. Great for them, bad for the original VH fans.

Others disagree.

Many others.

Brian Johnson ain’t walking through that door. As good as he was I still give the nod to Bon Scott.

Most bands that replace their singer like Genesis and Van Halen become different bands than they were before. The music is different. Peter Gabriel led Genesis is radically different than Phil Collins led Genesis. I mean different genres different.

I would argue that AC/DC may be the only band that changed lead singers and were successful while pretty much doing the same music. The music on an album like Highway to Hell is pretty much the same type of music that is on Back in Black.

That’s because it was always the Youngs’ band IMO.

I think it is cool that they are doing a tribute to Chris Cornell and Soundgarden, but I don’t know if you can advertise it as Soundgarden after Cornell’s death.

I don’t even look at Van Halen as the same group with each of the two singers. Sure the band is the same except for the lead singers, but the music is radically different.

Personally, I think Van Hagar is over hated and underrated. I was never a huge Van Halen fan with either singer. But I never got some of the hate for Van Hagar. They put out some pretty solid songs. May not be as good as some of the classic Roth songs, but good songs.

Music is always personal, there is no right or wrong.
I grew up with Van Halen's self titled album as my first record (yes, an actual record).
Fell in love with Eddie's hard driving guitar and solos.
Van Haggar is fine, but you're right, it's two different groups with much different sounds.
I give them lots of credit, their switch in sound made them stay relevant while guitar rock was fading away.
Sold a **** ton of Albums with Sammy.
Some good songs, I just preferred the original sound.
Have every VH album with DLR, zero with Sammy.
