I was at the 1st night of the Pearl Jam 20 years show in Milwaukee and Cornell came out and played with them. It was awesome.

didin't even notice that as I just assumed he would be there. Wouldn't go if he's not there.

I'm pretty sure a couple of songs is all he appeared on, singing backup mostly. I don't think he was actually a full blown 'member'.
He'll probably show up at the Seattle show to sing Hunger Strike or something.
In any case, whatever, I've never really liked Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam. I have the Temple of the Dog album somwhere, been years since I listened to it, but I actually thought it wasn't that good.

What's funny is that the album is pretty good even beyond Hunger Strike.
I was always partial to Wooden Jesus and All Night Thing.

Holy **** this is ***ing epic.
With all the respect to Vedder, Cornell is an otherworldly vocal talent and there's a reason why Neil Young (amongst others) have used the PJ band for recordings and tours.
I will at least catch them in SF or Seattle.

So Pearl Jam with a couple of the Soundgarden guys in having a beer during the jam.
Just like 20 years ago.
I hate getting old.

Haven't really cared for Cornell since he left Soundgarden at the end of the 90s...somehow he just hasn't seemed to have the same talent since, even rejoining them.
Vedder's strength is his way of interpreting songs, and in that he's pretty much unparalleled by anyone today. Makes him the one who's more enjoyable to listen to, I find.
I am pretty sure he will be there, I don't see why he would not as like you said Hunger Strike is more of a duet of sorts and he sings backup on a number of other songs.
I've always loved Vedder's work. As for Cornell is has depended but I find his latest album pretty darn good.

I like the album but don't really care about the novelty of this "tour." It's just Pearl Jam carrying on their tour with Cornell instead of Vedder. You'll hear the album live so that might be neat to some.

I have to disagree. Vedder can get obnoxious....especially live, just too much of his self righteous mumbling drawl.
I've seen both and Soundgarden was the best overall show I've been to, just like as far as the objective sound of the band/tightness & vocals.
Vedder is often imitated, no one can imitate Cornell because he's simply one of the technically best ever.
It's really cool how these 2 bands have stayed friends though the years without the typical rivalry bands from the same scenes can often have.

I found Cornell to be very good with Audioslave, after Soundgarden. Hits like 'Like A Stone' and 'I am the Highway' are amazing.
I also liked the solo albums Cornell released (Euphoria Morning, etc).. More mellow than late 8os-early 9os Soundgarden, but thought the solo stuff expanded on Cornell's versatility..
And I thought the Temple of the Dog album was good from start to finish..
These guys did a killer cover of Hunger Strike, still holding it down for grunge, halfway around the world:
