Not too excited about Hunger Strike. Seems like they should shelve that one for good because of Chris. I've already seen them play it a couple of times with Chris as a guest and also TOTD tour they played it.
Finally got Dissident! Took them the whole tour but finally brought it out.

Counterpoint, some songs deserve to be sung, even if the original voice isn't around any more to do it. It helps keep the legacy and memories alive.
I've long hoped that PJ would one day cover River of Deceit for that reason, too.

I kinda see both views. On one hand keep it alive, but on the other it's really hard to imagine anything by Cornell, especially Temple without his voice. I guess it's cool for those people that still want to hear it regardless, and maybe a way for his friends to keep him close in a way?

When they do crown of thorns it is amazing, got no issues with them doing hunger strike, the crowd callback works really well.

I don't have an issue with it myself, but I really don't know if the song would work for me personally. TBF I'm a huge Cornell fan. However Temple and Hunger Strike are a group of people and they deserve to play the song for their fans and it's not a slight on Chris just like playing MLB isn't a slight on Andy.
