Here's what should happen. All those bands with these interconnecting, incestuous lineups should tour together as their own festival. One stage, no set breaks, people just keep wandering on and off, and then as if by magic: change one or two people - it's a different band!
Start off with Soundgarden, play a few slammin' tunes, then some guys wander off and others wander on, "It's Audioslave people! Give it up for Audioslave!" Then one guy leaves and another guy walks on: "Rage Against the Machine, people! Give it up for Rage!" Next thing you know Cornell's coming back on stage with some other familiar faces, people are handing instruments around, "It's Temple of the Dog, y'all!" Then "Now it's Pearl Jam!"
And you could keep cycling through, just because you start with Soundgarden doesn't mean you can't have Soundgarden later on too! You just keep shuffling personnel, see what band results, play three or four songs and shuffle again. If you can work in the Velvet Revolver guys, that might get you STP and G'N'R as well. Well maybe not G'n'R. They're kind of off-theme, plus Axl's too big a prima donna to play a walk-on part.
I guess you could call it the Six Degrees Of Chris Cornell tour. Or something.
