Chris’s voice is what definitely stood out. It seemed like Chris always wanted to make sure his voice was heard over the music, it should have been and it was. His voice changed over the years, more like a soulful sound. I loved his voice in the beginning, when he reached those high notes, it would blow me away. and I loved his voice as he aged and it changed into a beautiful soulful sound. I still listen to all of Chris’s music. I miss him.
First, SOUNDGARDEN RULES! Second, thank you so much for taking time & effort to make this excellent video on my favorite band of all-time. Since before Cornell's passing I've awaited a solid, hi-production "rockumentary" on Soundgarden because they absolutely deserve one. And while your video isnt that rock-doc it still is an in-depth look at the band's early days and that is just awesome for fans like myself and I thank you. Great work!
I saw them February 3rd 1990 Cuban Club Tampa,Fl. We were walking up an alley just as the show started, his voice hit is smack in the face, we started running and stood front and center, the rest is history. I thought Robert Plant was it, Chris changed all of that, life changing band.
Yeah man, Plant from 68-71 was godlike but Chris could match him in his day. Chris voice lasted far longer than Roberts. I always felt bad that Plant lost that powerful high register at such a young age. Chris could pretty much still do it through Audioslave which really taxed his voice. He did recover and the chris from the 2010's on was solid but no match for the beast mode chris. Then again, whom of us can compete with our 21 year old self? Being 55, I sure as hell cant.
I was at that show at the Lingerie in '88. Can't remember who we went to see, but it wasn't Soundgarden. The crowd was a usual L.A crowd, but I remember this show distinctly. I was there with my drummer at the time, and when we heard Cornell's vocals we both looked at each other and we knew "that guy" was gonna be a star. He had that "thing"... We really liked the guitar player, and Cornell was a superstar in the making, but we didn't think much of the rhythm section (a little professional jealousy perhaps? IDK), so when I later saw them (with a way better rhythm section) on MTV I wasn't that surprised. Peace.
I saw Soundgarden in 1990, opening for Faith No More, and Voivod. Cornell was a brutally beautiful dude, with a voice unmatched. Ne was born to be a rock god.
The crowd at rhino records is blowing my mind. Like you, I thought the songs from Louder than Love were amazing. I cannot imagine standing there and not totally rocking out. I think, based on this performance, that I would be able to notice that this band was special. Thank you for putting this together. The quality of your video is great and the content is awesome.
Dang...the girl who was taking pictures right in front of Chris. Those Hollywood kids didn't know what hit em! Matt MF Cameron 🥁 The chemistry, and synergy of Chris, Kim, Matt, and Ben made the difference in Matt's playing IMO. They may not have been fully formed upon arrival, but they got there. And that's all that matters. On the east coast I was late to catch on to them, but I'm glad for the opportunities I got to appreciate the F out of them LIVE while 🎤Chris was still with us! 🎼
Regarding Woodstock ‘99, the Red Hot Chili Peppers decided to play “Fire” when vendor’s trailers were being looted and destroyed by arson. UltramegaOK was Grammy nominated for the best heavy metal category, first introduced and which heavily favored Metallica lost to Jethro Tull.😂😂 Heavy blues? Maybe covering Howling Wolf’s Smokestack Lightning, but the Zep and Sabbath-like riffage is more like hard rock and metal from the 1970’s. Bauhaus was a big influence on the band, Goth. Plus Fopp is an Ohio Players’ song, so funk music wasn’t out of the realm of music that influenced them. Plus them recording for SST in the late 80’s had a lot of groups that were experimenting with sounds of all types. If Soundgarden ever does get the RRHOF, it’s gonna be one helluva task to find people who will sing on their set.
The Rhino Records show was a release concert for Louder Then Love that came out a couple weeks earlier. This is also about 6 months before Andy Wood’s death.
I agree thank you for putting that together and alllowing us to be able to listen to it was great Chris's was a true musician from birth his taken showed at a very young age but then I believe that there a very musical talent for singing in his family listen to his brother sing he also has a amazing voice Chris Cornell will truely be missed by the world and myself I listen to all his music every night
Ultra mega OK was released October 31st on SST records . Sub pop did a re-release. Louder Than Love came out September 5 1989. I was in my early 20’s living in Seattle and they were kings here by 89
I just watched a rig rundown with the band premier guitar did and we find out the wild tunings on kim and chris guitar and what tunings were used on certain songs that became huge hits ,its a awesome interview at a venue Soundgarden were set up to play ,so you see the setup and tunings that Kim especially used and its so badass ,Iwas in Europe when they started out so I when I came back in 88 the first I heard from chris was from Temple of the Dog and that was badass, and instantly knew this was a band that had thier own sound and I loved it
The crowd reactions to Soundgarden in those early shows was not too dissimilar from how Led Zeppelin was received in their earliest shows. This was something new in both cases, and the crowds didn’t know how to react.
I know this is about Soundgarden (i am a huge fan especially of Matt's drumming) so I apologize in advance if this gets categorized as "who cares" information. But...Def Leppard's Hysteria didn't come out until August of 87' and it wasn't an instant hit. If memory serves (i was 13 when it came out and bought it immediately after seeing "Animal" on Dial MTV) it didn't blow up until until "Sugar" came out as a single in America. I don't think it hit number one until 1988.
You can say what you want to but I think they were about tripping on LSD too, what you call sub pop sound... Throughout the years I've been there done that, especially loud love and motor vision
Well, iimagine that in the early days people were still expecting all rock bands to be like Poison or Mötley Crüe, bands like FNM, SG, Mother Love Bone, were all too anti-hair metal for that time...
Lost me 4 minutes in. I love Temple and CC, but he did not write two of the songs on that album in terms of music.... Therefore "wholly" is inaccurate.

I saw Soundgarden @ The Reseda Country Club around 1990 with Prong & Voivod - unbelievable…
Chris Cornell would go into “American Woman” by “The Guess Who” in the breakdown verse of “Hands All Over”…
Wow wow wow what a bill ❤ so lucky.

saw them at the Ritz NYC early days - 90 I think - also at Roseland - voice was raw, loud, crazy range - a powerful experience.
They sound legendary in their earliest videos

First tIme I heard of Soundgarden was in the movie Pump up the volume 1990.

I definitely felt that they got better as they progressed.

LTL came out september '89. Wikipedia.

Ultramega OK was released on SST, not subpop.
I stand corrected.

Hiro🎉🎉🎉
I hear a heavy U-men influence in early SG.....to me Chris is immolating John Bigley..
