Little did we know unfortunately that after the first album it seems depression was starting to be the power behind the lyrics 🙄😞 know where that went,,shame, rest in peace m***********😅
And Cornell had been running around with his Nirvana shirt from the beginning. There are straight up vintage shots of him in that shirt probably within weeks after Bleach came out.
You aren't kidding. All those guys supported the hell out of each other's bands to a degree that we hadn't seen before, or since. They loved what they were doing and they loved each other.
@@LapsedPacifist79yeah it's way up there on my list of perfect albums. I think the only track on there that isn't single material is "Half" and it's still a great track that captures the spirit of the album with it's Eastern themes.
Feels kind of weird that this was brand new on music T.V. then. I have a snippet of a memory looking at the bottom of a gals baggy pants and converse chuck taylor shoes back then. Kids fashion has come in a circle with those stupid pants.
I was 16 when Black Hole Sun was released. What a great time to be a teenager. I still listen to all of my CD's from back then. My wife pokes fun at me because I won't switch over to streaming but I love listening to the entire album, start to finish. It's kinda my thing. 😊
Takes you back to that age bro, that's why you still do it this way. I was also 16 when it came out, however my music is mostly digital lately even though I have all of my CDs
I was in. Games Workshop store buying warhammer 40k models. And I was floored by the song being played. It took me out of where I was and when it ended I just needed to hear it again!
I agree. Compared to every other grunge band, even the greats, there was a level of melodic sophistication that could not be matched in Soundgarden compositions.
Only reason that song bugs me is the fact that it’s the only song most people I know personally even listen to by them and I’m like dude! There’s so much more!!
Man, the nineties were da s**t! I was in high school and into punk rock, but even as a young teen, I knew this grunge sound and these bands were something special. When I heard Soundgarden, I was quick to get my guitar and jam along to their songs, trying to learn them, just like with Nirvana. Then I heard STP, and again really got into them, as well. So much good music was going on, on the mainstream and underground.😊
are you me? First record I bought with my own money was Ten, the birthday gift before that was Nevermind. Humming the whole Core album all day. When I heard Superunknown and especially Black Hole Sun for the first time, I had a similar reaction as Dave. Thid is different, this is huge, this is something else.
and (obviously) Pearl Jam. Chris was Andrew Wood's roomie. If you don't know who that is: singer of Mother Love Bone whose surviving members would become Pearl Jam
I had never heard this Beatles- Black Sabbath reference... and I have been describing this to people that arent familiar with SG and really grunge overall... this is a perfect composition of melody combined with something punk driven and the dark sound depth of a Black Sabbath, if they had shown up in the 90s.
I seen soundgarden in 92 supporting guns n roses at gateshead stadium they came on n fuck me what a voice chris cornell had and as a band just super tight perfection 👌 n yup they was better than guns n roses
Black hole sun was/is 1 of the most songs from the first time I heard it.For me it was about an island in the sun with an asfaltlake (some kind of a black hole sun).Felt like I was not the only person struggling with that problem.A very important album in my life
I have all cds of Nirvana, non official live recordings too, i just have Superunknown of Soundgarden, and yet i truly think Chris Cornell was/is one of the best music artist ever! Soo good at singing, so good at playin instruments, soo good at composing songs, i love his music! And i love Nirvana but i love Cornelll with Soundgarden & Audioslave even more!
Apples and oranges. Soundgarden is grunge ,heavy metal alternative metal alternative rock. Radiohead is art rock alternative rock electronica experimental, rock art pop. Ok Computer is considered one of the best albums released. I was 17 back in 97' and I was shocked when in 2000 they released Kid A. A complete left turn from everyone was expecting. Masters.
Oh wow Dave! That's a perfect description of Soundgarden! My best friend and I would travel to the mall from small town Texas - I was getting Soundgarden tapes and she was getting New Kids On The Block. 🤦 Lol! Musical differences 😆
I remember reading that bio that he's misremembering, it was "the Bay City Rollers getting molested by Black Sabbath", but also I understand that they quickly started to distance themselves from using sexual assault terminology flippantly.
It’s been stated in magazines that Nirvana sound like The Bay City Rollers and The Knack being tortured by Black Flag (Rollins) & Black Sabbath. And yes, Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden (Chris Cornell) was, and still is, a beautiful melodic song with creepy overtones. I meant to use the word creepy in a good way.
I never liked it. I didn't. Fell on black days is like the one song i know i like by Soundgarden. Nothing against them, i do give them credit for everything tgey accomplished. My Sister loved them as so many others did. They just weren't my cup of coffee! AIC & Nirvana were great. Wasn't initially a Pearl Jam fan but they absolutely grew on me. And those are the most popular grudge bands. Oh & i don't care what anyone says, Hole fuckin rocked! Whether she is a POS or not, idk, i Wasn't there around them so i don't know. She probably was tho but Hole was great
Dave, if you ever read this… I do want to make a comment… If I were to make rock references versus rap references which I am personally influenced more by rock ‘n’ roll than I am rap… I would consider myself to play the guitar and sing rather than rap, I guess is where I’m going, but if I spit out, say one rap in a search bar, the biased and music takes over within seconds and say RUclips and it’s mind-boggling how quickly it takes over.
Unpopular opinion, I cannot stand Black Hole Sun, it's so dronish and repetitive, I feel the same way about Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana, those are my least favorite songs from each of those bands, they both are so much better than those two songs. imho
So it had been a year after Chris committed suicide in Detroit at The MGM Casino. I'm taking an Uber to work one day and my driver also worked in Housekeeping at the MGM. And we got to talking about Chris dying there and she said they ripped the room bare. Pulling up the carpet, tile, and stripping away the wallpaper and repainting. Threw out all of the furniture and bed. Then the sealed it up. They had so many requests from crazy people and fans wanting to book the room. The management decided not to book the room and let it sit empty for years until it died down.
I went out and bought the tape of Superunknown I think the day it came out. And the only song that I knew at the time was spoon man so I would fast forward to that song every time not really taking in the whole album (stupid me) . But for whatever reason I turned the tape over and it was Black Hole Sun. The first time you hear it it throws you. I was like, “this is like Zeppelin to the 10th power with a punk feel. They’re going to ruin this moment by making it a hit.” Sure enough…
Dave has lost so many close friends it’s sad. Kurt and Taylor especially. He was also friends with Chris as you can see. All tragic endings. I’m sure he been to some sort of therapy to deal with this. Plus being so recognized as the great talent that he is. He is known as one of the most down to earth guys in music. Nirvana has had such an impact on my life through music and my some of perceptions in life. I’m in my mid 40s. Still listen to them till this day.
If it hadn't been for Nirvana's smells like teen spirit, Soundgarden would have been recognized as the greatest grunge band. But that one song changed the game.
i bet that song meant a huge deal to krist cus of it being released the same year kurt vanished from the pre-web scorched earth; waterless earth only fire deep within our cynical depression, but sometimes nihilistic angst. truth or falsehoods? rip blackholenirvana.
I got into a car accident with my mom, brother and sister with this song playing on the radio when it first hit the radio waves. I’ll never forget and I love this song 🖤
Nirvana was the only grunge band. SoundGarden, pearl jam(who just sucked anyway) stone temple pilots, Alice in chains.. etc were not grunge, they were just 'alternative rock n roll'. But! The Melvins deserve an honorable mention. As do smashing pumpkins, while not technically grunge they were doing their own thing from like 1988 until 1996 I think is when they put out the Mellon Collie record.🤓🙃
Grunge is just a descriptor of that era and place, it has no musical significance at all, you just associate it with nirvana which is fine, but it’s not a knock on any other band that they don’t fit whatever you’ve decided grunge means

A meeting of the Beatles and Black Sabbath is an amazing description of Black Hole Sun 😩
Perfect 👍
The whole album too! 4th of July is just HEAVY
The solo sounds like something out of war pigs
Little did we know unfortunately that after the first album it seems depression was starting to be the power behind the lyrics 🙄😞 know where that went,,shame, rest in peace m***********😅
And Cornell had been running around with his Nirvana shirt from the beginning. There are straight up vintage shots of him in that shirt probably within weeks after Bleach came out.
You aren't kidding.
All those guys supported the hell
out of each other's bands to a degree
that we hadn't seen before, or since.
They loved what they were doing
and they loved each other.
It was a movement.
yes they were both big fans of each other
Sigh why Chris and Kurt gotta go the same way
And Kurt having a soundgarden sticker on his guitar
And on the same album there is:
- fell on black days
- spoonman
- the day I tried to live
All bangers !! 😍
There’s not a bad song on that album. There’s not even a weaker one. It’s near perfect
Fresh tendrils, Limo wreck, Superunknow e a minha preferida Like Suicide. É com certeza um álbum perfeito.
You said my name? Do you need something?
@@Spooonmansave meeee with youuur hannnnnnnd !!
@@LapsedPacifist79yeah it's way up there on my list of perfect albums. I think the only track on there that isn't single material is "Half" and it's still a great track that captures the spirit of the album with it's Eastern themes.
Soundgardens "Superunknown" is a masterpiece!
There is not one bad song, all songs are awesome!
My personal favorite song is "Head down". 10/10
90s Grunge/Alternative was an era. 💙 Absolute legends.
Couldn’t agree more!
Summer 1994 30 years ago wow time flies 😮
Feels kind of weird that this was brand new on music T.V. then. I have a snippet of a memory looking at the bottom of a gals baggy pants and converse chuck taylor shoes back then. Kids fashion has come in a circle with those stupid pants.
yeah, unbelievable that 30 years before that was fucking Beatlemania!
@@stulora3172 lawd, this is a crazy thought to process
@@charliecollins5658 sorry O_o. I had a Nirvana tribute band going on ten years ago. TEN! 10. Diez. Dieci. Zehn.
In my mind It feels like it was yesterday 😞
I still can't believe Chris is gone, that one really hurt.
Black hole sun was Huge and I understand, but Fell on Black Days, that was THE Song
Totally different
Pretty noose.
100%
Outshined was my intro to Soundgarden

It's the only way to listen to alot of albums 👍
You are not alone! 😁
Tangible music is the greatest
Takes you back to that age bro, that's why you still do it this way. I was also 16 when it came out, however my music is mostly digital lately even though I have all of my CDs
You can do that on streaming…
I still remember where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard "Black Hole Sun". That's how great of a song it is
Me too. Chilling with my 2 cousins at their house watching mtv
Do you remember how the video changed? When it first came out, the people's faces weren't contorted.
I was in. Games Workshop store buying warhammer 40k models. And I was floored by the song being played. It took me out of where I was and when it ended I just needed to hear it again!
Listened to that song on my Sony La Fiesta walkman, over and over again.
I agree. Compared to every other grunge band, even the greats, there was a level of melodic sophistication that could not be matched in Soundgarden compositions.
Nutshell, Rooster, basically all of Jar of Flies?. Nevermind? come as you are is literally a chromatic riff with CATCHY melodic line sung over it.
@Rayculdio Yup, AIC wins.
Only reason that song bugs me is the fact that it’s the only song most people I know personally even listen to by them and I’m like dude! There’s so much more!!
So much humility and decency
dave put it in words perfectly 🖤
I remember being 9-10 years old sitting in front of the TV watching video after video just waiting for this to come on.
Amazing track

When that Song came out, I was blown away. Then I got the Album and realized it was even one of the weaker Songs on there. Unbelievable record
I think Pearl Jam's Black could hang with Black Hole Sun.
I heard Cornell was thinkin' in Sinatra at the time
It's pretty Sinatresque the vocals in this song...this fuckin' cool song by the way
Nirvana and Soundgarden had a Strong conection❤
and (obviously) Pearl Jam. Chris was Andrew Wood's roomie. If you don't know who that is: singer of Mother Love Bone whose surviving members would become Pearl Jam
@@stulora3172 you're right. They were very close to Pearl Jam.
None of the other grunge bands touched Soundgarden. AIC were close, but Soundgarden were just gods among children.
I had never heard this Beatles- Black Sabbath reference... and I have been describing this to people that arent familiar with SG and really grunge overall... this is a perfect composition of melody combined with something punk driven and the dark sound depth of a Black Sabbath, if they had shown up in the 90s.
Soundgarden was an Incredible band!! So much talent and skill!
The Beatles and Black Sabbath I never thought about it, but it is
Rip Chris 🙏 ❤😢
I seen soundgarden in 92 supporting guns n roses at gateshead stadium they came on n fuck me what a voice chris cornell had and as a band just super tight perfection 👌 n yup they was better than guns n roses
Black hole sun was/is 1 of the most songs from the first time I heard it.For me it was about an island in the sun with an asfaltlake (some kind of a black hole sun).Felt like I was not the only person struggling with that problem.A very important album in my life
I have all cds of Nirvana, non official live recordings too, i just have Superunknown of Soundgarden, and yet i truly think Chris Cornell was/is one of the best music artist ever! Soo good at singing, so good at playin instruments, soo good at composing songs, i love his music! And i love Nirvana but i love Cornelll with Soundgarden & Audioslave even more!
That entire record is one of a kind
Soundgarden Superunknown is more than Radiohead Ok Computer that is so acclaimed by media.
Apples and oranges.
Soundgarden is grunge ,heavy metal alternative metal alternative rock.
Radiohead is art rock alternative rock electronica experimental, rock art pop.
Ok Computer is considered one of the best albums released. I was 17 back in 97' and I was shocked when in 2000 they released Kid A. A complete left turn from everyone was expecting. Masters.
Oh wow Dave! That's a perfect description of Soundgarden! My best friend and I would travel to the mall from small town Texas - I was getting Soundgarden tapes and she was getting New Kids On The Block. 🤦 Lol! Musical differences 😆
I always felt type o negative was the perfect meeting of sabbath and the beetles.
I wonder if Kurt ever got to hear black hole sun
I miss him😢
I miss Chris so much all the time
I remember reading that bio that he's misremembering, it was "the Bay City Rollers getting molested by Black Sabbath", but also I understand that they quickly started to distance themselves from using sexual assault terminology flippantly.
Nirvana was Beatles meets Black Flag, whereas Soundgarden was Beatles meets Black Sabbath
Badmotorfinger IS the best Soundgarden album......
Video for that song was wild
Superunkown is a classic album. It’s incredible. My personal fave of that genre/era.
When BHS dropped.
. It was on another level.. good times
Awesome tune
We sound like the Bay City Rollers after an assault by Black Sabbath, and we vomit onstage better than anyone!
Absolutely 💯❤❤❤

In Kurt's journals, it was "Black Sabbath meets Bay City Rollers."

My wife HATES this song.
We all have our flaws… 🤷♂️
That summer of 94 ❤ Beastie Boys and Soundgarden every second on MTV. I would do anything for a Time Machine
I went out and bought the tape of Superunknown I think the day it came out. And the only song that I knew at the time was spoon man so I would fast forward to that song every time not really taking in the whole album (stupid me) . But for whatever reason I turned the tape over and it was Black Hole Sun. The first time you hear it it throws you. I was like, “this is like Zeppelin to the 10th power with a punk feel.

Grohl just told me how I felt in ‘94 that I could never figure out.
Beetles suk
I had a cassette where I only put Black Hole Sun and Inside by Stiltskin on both sides a few times in a row for cruising around. So cool.
If it hadn't been for Nirvana's smells like teen spirit, Soundgarden would have been recognized as the greatest grunge band. But that one song changed the game.
It’s strange how Dave Grohl always shits on Nirvana. 😂 He must be annoyed that he is always asked “what was it like knowing Kurt”
i bet that song meant a huge deal to krist cus of it being released the same year kurt vanished from the pre-web scorched earth; waterless earth only fire deep within our cynical depression, but sometimes nihilistic angst. truth or falsehoods? rip blackholenirvana.
In a different interview, someone said that Chris wanted to write something that sounded like Cream & the Beatles.
⚡️🎵
And this is why I say soundgarden isn’t grunge, the music is way too complex to be considered grunge
Well now I want to hear the Beatles cover black hole sun. Nevermind.
I got into a car accident with my mom, brother and sister with this song playing on the radio when it first hit the radio waves. I’ll never forget and I love this song 🖤
This was my sons favorite song when he was younger. Every time I hear it, it brings me to tears.
I still think Chris's solo album euphoria morning was one of the most musically sophisticated albums ever in rock
One of my favourite albums of all time. It’s perfect imo.
Sound garden , audioslave and euphoria would be a super strong chris cornell album collection .. there is some work with temple of the dog too
There's way too much homage for the Beatles. They were okay but certainly not that great.
Dave never says anything good about Black Sabbath so this was nice to hear
And that video was epic.
These seattle connections are thicker than blood - so much respect between the guys - that's how it should be
I wouldn't say Abba meets Sabbath.
🤔🤔🤔 Abba meets the Ramones
Yeah Black Hole Sun great lyrics, great song
DAVE WAS DEAD ON
BLACK HOLE SUN WAS HUGE ! WHO WOULD THINK CHRIS LEFT US TOO SOON
RIP CHRIS 🙏 🎸
Wow. Wonder what he thinks about the good soundgarden songs.
Im so sick of hearing him talking about the beatles
Nirvana was the only grunge band. SoundGarden, pearl jam(who just sucked anyway) stone temple pilots, Alice in chains.. etc were not grunge, they were just 'alternative rock n roll'. But!

Dave is hilarious in his older years 🤣 hes a fuxkin machine!
Soundgarden is definitely superior to nirvana
I miss Chris Cornell. What a voice. 💔
❤ Chris Cornell meant this song as a song of death
One of my favourite songs. Genius
The Day I Tried To Live is a better song 🎉
*Forgets Dirt released in 1992
Perfect song. Never grows old.
Where's Courtney lmao😅
Such a poser…but great drummer
How's black hole sun Beatles?
The fact that, in Echo of Miles, Soundgarden released cover versions of both "Come Together" and "Into the Void". Full circle.
And somehow Spoonman became the first single off Superunknown!?!
Its going to be HUDGE!
the guy killed himself.
I used to eat acid to the song
Never be another Cornell ❤
Beatles? Seriously?
The video was cool also!
And the video is epic.
Black grohl sun
