The noise to me comes to make the song more "demonic" and dissonant, personally I love it, it's a great in crescendo and live makes people go freaking nuts
"God so loved soundgarden, that he gave them his only song."
But I heard God gave his only song to Tenacious D.
It's a quality pun but it makes for a terrible music video pre-intro.
@@chrisdriver7776 Gods a fickle fellah
In my personal opinion, Badmotorfinger is one of the best Soundgarden albums.
The drums on this are awesome. It’s even more impressive when they did this live cus Matt Cameron wouldn’t miss a beat
Remember that time matt cameron messed up? Me neither
@@adrock1011 HELL YEAH!!! MFC 4EVER!
This song is art, the abrasive ugliness is what makes it work, makes it more evil sounding than any Slayer song. The breakdown should not be there
I was waiting for your review on this particular Soundgarden song to be honest and I am really happy to see this review. I want to say that first time hearing the guitar noise you mentioned at the beginning and these blinking swift changing images on the video had disturbed me a lot. However the more you listen to this song the more addictive you become about it. And at some point you just realize that it is just a f***ing masterpiece! It is just a brilliantly arranged chaos. I would recommend you to listen to the drumming separately. There are a few guys that made pretty good covers of it, like "Delta Empire" for example.
I love every second of this song.
You were so sad at the end I was convinced they were getting a 6 or something. When you said 8 I was like, that's a great score!
Yeah, just have to wonder if he means it's a great song with some of his hang ups or a less than stellar one, but I can get he would be upset either way.
I don't find anything bad about the song only because it's Soundgarden..Its impossible to hate their music. Kim's guitar style may not be the best,but it's underrated as hell.
What's really impressive is how odd time signatures never hurt his performances and he was one of the few greats of the 90s doing odd timed songs a lot of time. Sure the guys of dream theater or rush were doing it better, but they had a small set of songs that really only Kim was able to pull off both in technique and in style.
So much for soundgarden ever cresting above 8.5! Kim, Ben, or Chris always delivered that sweet, sweet distortion.
Soundgarden is much less of a "garden" and more like a thorny briar patch. Love it. And loved the review. Solid.
I love this song. Soundgarden would hit you with a wall of sound live and this song is a great example. Talk about an immersive experience. This brings back such good memories. Chris, you are missed. Thanks for the reaction.
Mate, you are SO FUCKING ON THE MONEY HERE!!!!!
I love the ending. And the beginning. Makes it creepy yet obviously very grunge feedback
Not liking that dissonant intro is sacrilege. Just another layer of this song that makes it amazing. Then that groove comes in that cannot be denied.
You consider it sacrilege? Jesus! :P
@@Torthrodhel 😂. Very good!
Holy flashback. This was THE club song in 91/92. And by "club", I mean rock & roll bars. I clearly remember that at the bar I hung out at, they played loud music, and they had about a hundred tv screens around the place that all showed weird cult films, artsy stuff, just whatever the owners of the bar felt like playing - basically anything that wasn't white bread normie stuff, like sports or whatever. It was a really eclectic place...but anyway, this was one of the first songs I remember having the video connected to it, on the cd presumably, so when it came on, all the 100 or so tv screens switched to this video, and at maximum club volume with this epilipsy inducing desert drug psychedelia-soaked video flashing everywhere you looked, it was a complete audio-visual sensory overload, and it was kind of awesome. Yes, even the beginning and the ending. Maybe ESPECIALLY the beginning and the ending. I'm not really a big Soundgarden fan, or "Grunge" fan, or even 90's music fan, but this particular song and video brings back that entire time and place in the best way. So intense, so aggressive, really wiped the floor with most everything else that was happening then. The punks loved it, the rockers loved it, everyone loved it, it was just so over the top and dissonant and bombastic. it was also a pretty massive song, I'm surprised you haven't heard it, huge song by huge band.
That "little" breakdown around 10:06 appears to have been done in homage to "Heaven on Their Minds" from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Oh DANG I didn't pick up on that.....after a second listen I think you may be on to something there.
With the way you were talking and how Soundgarden fans would probably rage quit after hearing the score I thought you were gonna give the song a 5. A 8.1 was a lot higher than I thought it would get. But I agree with how you feel about the beginning and the end of this song, its tough on the ears, and even tougher when you hear it live.
This song is legendary. This got me into them when I was 16
Me, too! Had I listened to Black Hole Sun first(Great song, but just saying), I would've never kept listening to Soundgarden.
Same man 👍🏽💯
Probably one of the greatest riffs to come out of the 90,s
The beginning and ending are brilliant to me.
I'm mostly familiar to this song through the Pinkpop 92 footage. I keep wanting Ben Shepard to tie his shoes while he's way down there playing bass.
the dissonance in their music is influenced by noise bands of the late 70's/early 80's- Suicide/ Television/Sonic Youth.
Bands like that-especially Sonic Youth were all about the exploration of melody through those dissonant/feedback sounds.
What is your issue with the ending? That was grunge, going against the grain. Your reaction is almost what was intended by them
Haha touché. You hair metal guys just don’t get the grunge! As Eddie Vedder says, David…”this is NOT FOR YOU!”
@@amassaic ahhh. I see what you did there. Nice reference
i do not fault you for that score. but i do love the insanity of the intro and e insanity of the intro and outro
I saw Soundgarden with Faith No More & Guns n Roses at a all dayer sell out Wembley stadium in 1992. Awesome hot summer day where security had to spray the fans with hoses to stop them fainting. Brian May was GNR's special guest, i really wanted Aerosmith like they had in Paris but i guess you can't have everything :)
I saw that same lineup in Toronto 1992. Good memories.
@@MrRaErickson Very cool. How times change.😔
That is actually a great score for a song that you hated 10% of. Looking at your review of this and 4th of July, I would say when you think of Soundgarden remember them for Like Suicide.😁
on the album it’s a pretty seamless transition from the previous song into Jesus Christ Pose, that’s a great album for listening straight through. Mind Riot might be my favorite on that album, less popular but I always loved it and it has some great lyrics
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the noisy chaos... Adds to the meaning.
I'm more offended at people who recommend songs like this before the really great underrated songs in a band. And by "great" I mean the most technically interesting and sonically pleasing songs that aren't nearly as popular as the rest. I like this song, don't get me wrong. But I don't love it, and I sure as hell wouldn't recommend it as a showcase for what this band is capable of. If you really dive into the totality of SG's catalouge, this song should be near the bottom of the list for recommendations. It's probably just a popular recommendation because it was on their second most popular album. I'm not trying to shit on the people who love the song because obviously that's subjective, but in my own personal opinion I think you should recommend the really great underdog songs that 50% of Soundgarden fans probably haven't even heard of before, first.
This song is a good example of the first period of Soundgarden carreer.
I'm watching and thinking, he's gonna hate the ending 😂😂😂
Don’t know why you hate it lol it’s chaos which is what the dog kinda is about. Hate to see you review Sonic Youth hahahahahaha
I love the whole song intro and all.
People always say the song is inspired by Perry Farrel but what Chris said was he got the idea from seeing Perry do the christ pose and not that he thought Perry is a poser. Also cannot wait till we get to some songs where Chris really stretches his vocals :p
Nice reaction as always! Check out Limo Wreck by Soundgarden, I think you'll like it.
Because it is art
Hey David! Thanks for reacting to my recommendation. Appreciate you man. Soundgarden is my favorite band, but I understand your gripe with this song. I myself skip the beginning and ending noise.
Congrats on the shout out.👍
😂😂😂😂 I love the start and finish, makes the middle section so much more delicious! This song was one of those few songs where I remember where I was when I fist heard it-draw drop-it’s intensity blew me away as well as the vocals-hearing this live was ridiculous-Chris was God!
Has been one of my favorite SG songs since the 90's, and I get that first time feeling, every time I hear it. Can't even explain it, it's like a spiritual experience or something
i appreciate it so much, that you didnt like it at first, but then... it got you. But you kept your mind open. To be open makes the world a better places. and by the way: its imo their best song ever - they were much more than seattle grunge. they were so different, fitting no rock/metal-genre! And you could feel Chris' sensivity, his pain feeling judged. He was already lost at an early age. So Sad, that he coulnd't find relief and security. I still can feel, love and miss him! R.I.P. Chris.
Very punk rock of soundgarden 🤷♂️
So, David, I’ve enjoyed listening to your reactions since discovering your channel a few days ago. I’m still in awe that you avoided this band when they were blowing up! But whatever… it is what it is. You mentioned being heavily into prog and jazz at the time. So, Soundgarden has always been an amalgamation of everything great about guitar rock. Hard rock, punk rock, psychedelia, goth and heavy metal. Kim Thayil’s influences range from Hendrix, Beck, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Kiss, MC5, The Stooges, The Beatles and everything in between! Soundgarden were always a band that walked a line between beauty and chaos! The chaos is pure rock-n-roll! Most (all that I know) longtime Soundgarden fans love that part of the band! In the early days, their chaos was a thing of beauty and it was all held together by Matt Cameron’s phenomenal drumming!
I can understand a prog guy not getting the chaos but we love it! I can’t imagine Soundgarden without it! Cheers!
The weird guitar noises at the start & the main riff both sound to me like musical allusions to music from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Hoping you get to review their work from their 96 album down on the upside. Is Pretty Noose or Burden in my Hand in the queue?
Not at the moment.
This song and video are so 90’s 🤟
You must react to " Cold Bitch" ( studio version)by Soundgarden. Chris Cornell's voice is way more powerful than in " Jesus Christ Pose" Its a legendary singing performance. The Real Soundgarden fans know what I am talking about
Birth Ritual is a very powerful vocal performance it was on the singles soundtrack.
Chris Cornell has such an amazing range in his vocals. It’s a shame though because there actually are very very few songs I like from both sound garden and audioslave.
His solo work would presumingly have more focus on his vocals, from trends of other leads going solo; you could give those a try. Temple of the Dog was a great project too that seems to be getting mid 80s averages and the reason behind the project is a lost Seattle legend so its likely great through out plus has a few eddie vedder appearance too.
Oh yeah. This Soundgarden. Back in the 90s I liked Pearl Jam better than Soundgarden. I didn't really start to get into them till maybe 2000. I'd forgotten about their highly experimental phase. Is is it my cuppa? No not really. Does that make it bad? Not really. It's a matter of taste. It's just not um organized enough for me personally. I think 8.1 is very generous personally.
I thought you were going to give it a much lower score. I love Soundgarden but I have to admit the beginning and ending goes on too long for me personally.
It could well be that drugs played a part in the beginning and end of the song 🤷♂️. Anyway keep up the great work David!
Hi David! Could you react to "Overfloater" and "Blind Dogs" from Soundgarden? These songs are amazing for me but I would like to know your point of view. Thanks a lot.
Very nice! Keep SG reactions coming. Would love to hear your reaction to Flower, an early track of theirs from Ultramega OK (1988 -- nicely remixed back in 2017)
Ah, I see you've done Flower already. Excellent!
8.1? That’s great tho. Compared to other songs that I love that you’ve given a like 2 or 3, I’m quite happy with that.
Check out "Outshined" or"Rustry Cage" , from that sadness album.
Interesting that atonal guitar noise still offends so many rock fans and musicians, even to this day. Soundgarden were clearly influenced by contemporate alt.rock bands like Sonic Youth (which now I don't know whether I should recommend you listen to them, or warn you of them, but just so you know: they were not a metal band). And what about Meshuggah's guitar solo passages then?
His voice is awesome 😎
I can't believe I missed your reaction to this song!!!
I know it's been a year since you did this video...but Loud love is a killer track and is earlier soundgarden circa 1989... give it a listen or a reaction.
Dont know if you ever did a reaction to Soundgarden's " Cold Bitch " ..strong vocal range by Chris Cornell on that one too
No other band had those great beginnings and endings, Soundgarden hated genres and being boxed into any kind of one . They hated being called metal and no doubt deliberately did unconventional things which made them all the more heavier. They absolutely dominated the metal scene without even meaning to. None heavier.
JCP for me was a difficult song to like. Listened to it back in 94, kind of appreciate it now in 2022. Totally understand your reaction and review. I feel the same.
Yep, same. I'm a big SG fan and thought his review was just fine.
I'm with you on the bookends of this one. It wrecks it a little.
The answer to "why?" is always the same: ART! hahaha...I was thinking 7.4--and I wasn't even disappointed! hehehe...The vocalist is special; the rest of the band...not a fan.
Epic Rant!
I always thought the cacophony was cool but just too long, and I was surprised first time I saw the video, it was hard to look at. That being said I did listen to it quite a few times. Agree David.
I saw somewhere in yt that its his shoutout to the TV evangelist during that era.
Maybe. I have always read it as mocking rock singers like U2's Bono, who tend to overuse that pose.
Yea think it has to do with all the people taking advantage of peoples faith for financial gain and greed if you look at some of the lyrics towards the end
Lol
You must not like Hendrix, then. Or, a lot of psychedelic music, because that’s what it reminds me of: dissonance, distortion, feedback and noise.
That’s basically rock music, in general.
But, we all have our opinions.
you cannot have a soundgarden without weeds.....
check out TIGHTER and TIGHTER from Down on the upside record -
Man, I thought youd get the end once you'd heard the whole song.
The thing with Soundgarden is that you have to ignore their hits. They're their worst songs. Same with the Smashing Pumpkins. Black Hole Sun, Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose are more palatable to the pop/metal listening audience at that time. No review is complete without:
Room A Thousand Years Wide
Black Rain
Mind Riot
Mailman
Superunknown
Fresh Tendrils
(subtle payoff)
Holy Water is one of my favorites.
Black Rain is one of my favorites.
Get a grip...imagine being offended by dissonance and feedback in a heavy rock song 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There are way better songs from the same album such as Slaves and Bulldozers, Outshined, Mindriot. Totally i get your score and explanation for it. I don't expect everyone to like what I like, the way I like it, so I totally appreciate your POV. World would've been so boring if your views mirror mine completely. Great job!
Jajajjaa IT's hilarius jajjaaja don't anoy ......I Love the noise
When you have the opportunity please look up and listen to...
Metal Church. 1984
But it's still a great song!
Ruin it? Just because you dont like the begining doesnt mean it is trash lmaoo, this song is 10/10
SG fan here, but they're called opinions and it's ok if his differs from yours?
Personally love this song but the first time I heard it, I don’t think I made it 20 seconds in. Appreciate the reaction!
Honestly, I think being offensive to the ears was the point of the dissonance at the beginning and end. It’s sort of a direct rejection of what was mainstream at the time.
I believe if studios weren't forcing bands to make media appearances and music videos and had invested in finding new ways to promote bands and their albums instead of seeking get rich quick profits by signing sound a likes to contracts. The best trend in business is rewarding loyalty and for investors to give a smallest fraction of a downfall when people go beyond their worth in a legendary way. This was just not the music industry of the time so I could see why a lot of these early 90s rockers just screwed up their albums and songs with dissonance because they just didn't want to make money for these record companies that were using their gains to dilute the market. I guess these guys could have instead given record contracts and pay outs for publicity to musicians of 30-50s that were not given great contracts.
If you didn't like the beginning and end..... never ever listen to Black Angels by Kronos quartet. You will pull your hair out..... I did back in 1992 and I'm bald now.
Good song
It’s grunge!
I feel you, if they wanted to make a sound that was disconcerting then there are ways to do it without making you rip your ears off.
I’m a Soundgarden fan and watched the whole review. I completely agree. Beginning and end is a bit overkill. Would have been much better if those sections were cut in half.
My score would've been lower. I love soundgarden but this song just never jived with me
I consider myself a Soundgarden fan and I too do not like the intro and outro. That is all!
