Soundgarden added Soldano to the mix

Loud Love and BMF are great. Spoonman, when it came out made me do a German Shepherd head tilt as to what is this shit? I liked some of the drudgery stuff on SuperUnknown but it just had no staying power for me at all. The only thing I really liked on SuperUnknown was they finally gave Matt Cameron’s drums a great mix after BMF.
Down On The Upside just went too much into regular songwriting for me. But I also don’t like any AIC after Dirt either. It seems as soon as the bands break big with their OG flavor then release the inevitable, let’s keep the money and tours rolling, I’m not angry anymore albums, I lose interest.

fwiw I think Spoonman started out as a joke that ended up worked into a full song.

I like all their albums; they have different moods for sure.

i really dont even like most of their "hits", its all the deep cuts that are great. i wouldnt even want to hear black hole sun, outshined or rusty cage if i saw them.

Rusty Cage is a bad ass song with an incredible riff.

Dude, you get into some PCP or something ? Black Hole Sun ain't even close to the best song on that album. Mailman might be the best fucking song ever written by anyone, ever. Head Down, Like Suicide, The Day I Tried To Live. And BadMotorFinger fucking kicks ass. Not to mention Burden in My Hand. Fucking Soundgarden was killer as killer gets.

The first Audioslave album kicks ass too. I got a bootleg copy of that album about 6 months before it was released. They were billing themselves as "Civilian" and it only had about 4 songs on it. Killer shit man.

Agreed. Black Hole Sun is the only song on any of their albums that I almost always skip. Just heard it too many times. It's almost reached Stairway to Heaven status with me.

I love Down on the Upside, literally every song on the album is perfect to me. At a time where most of the hard rock and metal coming out was focused on getting heavier through heavily distorted guitars, screaming and growling vocals, and brickwall production they put out an album where the heaviness came from the songwriting and arrangements, and using that to craft a crazy dynamic album that breathes like the life it comments on.

I think the question we should be asking here is if we prefer Soundgarden today + some vocalist to no Soundgarden at all.

I was close to seeing them just a few weeks before CC did himself in but the show was on Mother’s Day and that wasn’t a hill I wanted to die on.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them with Taylor because I still think it would be cool to see Kim, Matt, and Ben, with the understanding that it will never be the same without CC.

I think Robbie Locke, Farmikos singer, could cover Soundgarden pretty well.


Dig Pretty Reckless' rocking stuff.

Robbie sounds fantastic for sure, but to be honest I'd prefer seing him touring with Farmikos / Holmes!!
When is that new album from Joe coming btw?
