Lex: "I believe Chris Cornell might have the best voice of all-time...I haven't listened to that much music though." I started listening to Soundgarden around 1992. I'm 45 years old, been a music lover since I was a small child, listen to all kinds of genres, and I believe Chris Cornell is one of the greatest of all-time if not THE greatest.
During the Grunge era in terms of range and power Layne Staley was on a par with Chris Cornell . That's under Heroin addict destroyed his voice and even then Layne was better than many others
Oh hell yes this is one of their most underrated songs. It really shows Chris full capacity and what a monstrous voice he had, he absolutely went mental in this one.
@Christian Adams And those guitar rifts. This entire song is next level. Top 5 Soundgarden song. Lyrics. Chris' voice. Drumming. Rifts. The "Feel". It is so awesome
Yes, Chris Cornell has the greatest voice in rock history. My father died when I was a teenager. Cornell’s music helped me through the next several years of my life, it me from spiraling more than I did. Until Cornell died, I had never understood what people were talking about when they had an emotional reaction to the death of a celebrity. I couldn’t listen to anything of his for about a year without tearing up.
I'm still tearing up when I'm not careful. I was shocked by some prior celebrity deaths, but none felt as painful as Chris passing. And apart from that, I'm in my 50s, I've listened to literally all kinds of rock music and hundreds of singers, and Chris was the best, no question. There were some who were more *important* for the history of rock singing, like Ozzy, Freddy Mercury, and David Bowie (to name just three), but only Chris' voice could touch me like it did. He was the GOAT. There are three other singers that can make me as emotional, though, all of them are women: Björk, Ninet Tayeb, and Suzuka Nakamoto. Brad & Lex will get to them in due time, I'm patient.
This is the song that hooked me into being a Soundgarden fan. The technical aspect of the vocals, and the playing where just out there for a 20 year old that just started playing bass. I was floored.
The incredible vocals, intense and so much range. The guitars are a mix of all kinds of riffs ,all over the map. An outstanding band of the Seattle grunge era. My favorite along with Alice in Chains. Those two bands drew me to that music and made a slightly older(30 at the time) hard rock and metal fan very happy indeed.
This one always feels like atomic powered Black Sabbath to me, and Chris Cornell's voice travels into new dimensions - an amaaaaazing track! I miss Chris sooo damn much 😢 Gone far too freakin' soon. So glad we have epics like this to listen to, but still wish he was still here with us living his best life and making new music ❤👍
Dirty, yeah. Just my opinion, having never heard this song before(I heard the rafio hits through the 90s by Soundgarden), the guitars, bass, drums have a little '90s C.O.C. flavor in this song. (To me)
I agree with Lex, Chris voice was technically very incredible, very expressive, always in tune, a great range, incredible control, incredible screams without falsetto, but also a beautiful voice when singing melodies
When he drops to the low and smooth tone after the drum fill before exploding back to the intense vocals is an example of what made Chris Cornell great!
This song is amazing and a total showcase for Chris’s vocal abilities no doubt, one of the greatest ever. Equally as great was his ability to connect with the listener with every word he sang. #LoudLove
And even Axl Rose, to his credit, has said as much -- I think it was a 1990 RS interview where Rose (who had recently won top male vocalist award or poll) said if he could sing like Chris Cornell, he'd "have it made".
This album is absolute solid fk'n gold. Literally not a bad song on the album. I still listen to it all the time, and it's one of those rare albums that I typically listen to all the way through without skipping.
Pleased to see you guys vibing with Slaves & Bulldozers, one of my all time favorite tracks by Soundgarden and also one of the best gems on the Badmotorfinger album lol great reaction and song choice as well, hats off to you two. This song is a pure banger and it perfectly demonstrates how far Chris's vocal range is able to reach. Insanity at its best, love this song and its meaning. ❤
A great song for your reaction by Chris Cornell: "Seasons" its off of the soundtrack from the movie 'Singles'. His voice is beautiful here, I think you'll love it.
The way they took a slow rocking, like a very old wooden rocking chair. Threw in sounds from a machine shop, and a lyric rhythm that sways like a nursery rhyme. It’s just cool.
My favorite all time Soundgarden song. Has everything that Chris Cornell was and stood for. What a jam. Glad Lex appreciated it. Love the channel guys!
I grew up on late 60's -70's music. Lots of amazing vocalists during that era and since then. But I'd have to put Chris Cornell in the top five as far as sheer power, range and control. Never heard anything like him. And he seems to do it so effortlessly.
This is actually my most favorite song in the world, EXCEPT only the live version. This studio version is fine, but the live versions of this song are different and experiencing them live is even better. This is actually the last song they played in concert shortly before Chris's death. RIP dear Chris. They often played it as an encore song. It makes me feel like I'm a dragon bounding from one mountain top to another. Powerful, beasty and free... lol. One of the first songs I heard of Soundgarden's was in 1989, "Loud Love," and the intro starts with some screech-y guitar that turns into Chris's voice. It blew my mind. I was a diehard fan since. Matt Cameron's drumming also changed my world. Some people keep time on drums, Matt makes music and paints pictures.
What makes Chris stand out is that he can do songs like this, then do something completely different like, "Like A Stone". He can do both, equally well, while emotion oozes from his soul.
He's for sure in the top 10 👍 But there are some others that might also deserve that throne: Paul Rogers (ruclips.net/video/q13EUUsIsFE/видео.html) Jimmy Barnes (ruclips.net/video/I1y9sXEfO34/видео.html) John Fogerty( ruclips.net/video/ec0XKhAHR5I/видео.html) Ian Gillan (ruclips.net/video/uEwVz6P7lZg/видео.html) ... There's also quite a few great ones besides the ones that I have listed here 😅
My top 10 singers 1. Kyo- Dir En Grey 2. Kurt Cobain- Nirvana 3. John Lennon- The Beatles 4. Ronnie radke - Falling in reverse 5. Chester Bennington- Linkin park 6. Glenn Danzig- Misfits 7. bradley nowell- sublime 8. tatiana shmailyuk- jinjer 9. dolores o'riordan- The cranberries 10. Jim Morrison- The doors
Really rocked out in Soundgarden of this era. Try "Rusty Cage" or "Outshined" to get a bit of a taste of the power. And almost every single track on Superunknown is a banger
Wow did not expect to see this! This is one of my all time favorite SG songs. They performed this live at the 1992 Lollapalooza in the Detroit area, and incorporated part of Ted Nugent's song Stranglehold which was fantastic how they did it and that they did it as an homage to being in the Detroit area. Thanks for this! ~Be Blessed
This is, in my opinion, pinnacle Soundgarden. The vocals, the weight of the guitars, the groove of the rhythm section, the angst. It's just a perfect moment from one of my favorite bands.
Sex Type Thing from Stone Temple Pilots (The title is misleading, its actually a song against sexism) is one of my favorites from the 90's it's when STP pumped some metal into their sound, definitely worth checking out:) great vid as always!
Love Soundgarden. My daughter use to get upset with me for playing them and S.T.P. All the time. I'm almost 65 and 💘 a good wailing , emotional voice!!
So Good,one of the songs that really shows how powerful his voice really was,Loud Love is another one that kicks ass.I agree Lex,him and Robert Plant from Zep
Chris Cornell, Rob Halford, Jim Morrison, Ronnie James Dio, Sebastian Bach, Bruce Dickinson, Jeff Tate, Robert Planet, Ann Wilson, Eddie Vedder, James LaBrie & Ozzy = all voices I can never get enough of🤘🏻💜🤘🏻
This may not be Soundgarden's best song, but its their best performance, if that makes sense. It highlights how good they could be as a band, heavy with a groove, and Cornell's vocals are unparalleled here.
Imagine the scene. Dance music and glam rock rule. Heavy Metal dominated hy hair bands singing songs like “Unskinny Bop-op-op-op”. Then comes Chris, ripping his guts out and pouring the bloody mess on the stereo. Our chins never got off the ground.
Definitely one of the top 5 SoundGarden songs … check out :” H.I.V BABY! By them .But check out Chris Cornell’s vocals on “ Say hello to Heaven “ by Temple of the dog …and I agree with Lex : Chris was and still is the best … RIP Mr Cornell.
Went absolutely crazy when this album came out, still one of my favorites of all time. Felt like I was listening to it for the first time again, thank you for that! I also have a request for you two if you have the time for it; Kingston Wall - Nepal. Drums are insane on that, and their jamming is out of this world. Less known band, but they are a hidden gem many are missing on.
This album from Soundgarden is truly amazing and this is my favorite song. Put this on driving down the road and I'm head banging and getting weird looks. Chris Cornell can be put in legionary status with his voice. 🤘💥🤘
Soundgarden - like suicide, searching with my good eye closed, room a thousand years wide, loud love, hands all over, fell on back days, 4th of July.....just to name a few of my favorites 🤘🙂🤘
I was fortunate enough to see Soundgarden play live at large clubs, a couple of times before they’d gotten famous, and the thing about Chris Cornell, is he sounded that good live. That whole band was amazing, but his vocals always stood out.
'always felt this was Chris' best vocal performance/recording since first listen back in the early 90s. A crazy blend of absolute control and pushing vocals where you shouldn't. It's so unfortunate his voice was damaged for so many other albums
Chris's either a capella, acoustic or heavy as hell had a beast of a range. I was a goth girl studying opera when I first heard "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden; obsessed ever since. Maynard, Lane and Chris..no one can touch them vocally!
I was lucky enough to see Soundgarden live back in 1992 at a venue called the Institute in Birmingham when they toured the UK for the "Badmotorfinger" album back in 1992 when I was 19. One of the best gigs of the early 90's I went to. Up there with Jane's Addiction, Faith No More and Nine Inch Nails, all of whom I saw several times each between 1990 and 1994. All incredible live. Soundgarden were immense at that show. They were supported by a band called Corrosion of Conformity who were also fantastic. You should check those guys out at some point too.
Cornell definitely has one of the greatest Rock voices ever. Even people who are not fans of his bands recognize that. He also has the widest octave range of any I believe, as well as the best control of that range.
Part of this album was recorded up the street from where I live in the Seattle metro area. I actually grew-up in Michigan, a guy I knew as an acquaintance back there named Mark Dancey designed Soundgarden's album covers. He ran a fanzine and played in two key bands in the 80s out of Michigan - Born Without a Face and later Big Chief. Big Chief were signed to Sub Pop Records out here in Seattle in the very early 90s. Incidentally, Maynard James Keenan from Tool also grew-up in Michigan, he was a big fan of Born Without A Face. Soundgarden actually opened this tour on Halloween night 1991 at St Andrew's Hall in Detroit because they liked to play there. The underground rock/punk/metal scene was a very tight-knit scene before it went mainstream, felt as though everyone knew each other and for the most part, we all did meet each other at some point. About 12 years ago I was at a bar in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. There was a recording studio in the back room of the bar and Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd was recording an album there at the time. He's spend the night there during the week when sessions went long, the owner of the bar took me back there one night and there were all of these mannequins all over, LOL. Really interesting. FYI - Ben Shepherd wrote the riff for "Slaves & Bulldozer"
Finally! Chris Cornell's vocal ability on this track is jaw dropping..still listening to this song some 25+ yrs later after its release. Killer tune!
Agreed! Just the raw power he had hitting those notes. There are singers out there that can hit the notes, but none with the power that Chris had
Shadow on the Sun is a better display, his smooth vocals on that are better.
Soundtrack to my life.... provided by a Mr c Cornell.🤘😎
Rest in peace brother 🙏
31 years later...sorry im old too
Chris hits those notes it melts your face and opens. A portal to another dimension
Lex: "I believe Chris Cornell might have the best voice of all-time...I haven't listened to that much music though."
I started listening to Soundgarden around 1992. I'm 45 years old, been a music lover since I was a small child, listen to all kinds of genres, and I believe Chris Cornell is one of the greatest of all-time if not THE greatest.
He was amazing, but one vocalist who gives him a run for the money is Mike Patton. His range is Ludacris.
During the Grunge era in terms of range and power Layne Staley was on a par with Chris Cornell . That's under Heroin addict destroyed his voice and even then Layne was better than many others
My man 👊
Listen to more sweetie
@@nickyleighton3766 I cant decide who had a better Seattle voice, Robert Plant just entered the chat.
Layne Staley and Chris Cornell are 2 of my fave vocalists ever.
Badmotorfinger is also one of the great Rock albums ever, IMHO.
Hell yes.
FUCKIN A
Bad motor finger Soundgarden dirt Alice in chains the 2 best grunge albums ever and 2 of the best rock albums of all time
Yess the best to ever do it 😫🥰to here them play live just once 😭 I wish
@@kyliamckoy1317 Glad I caught both of them live.
Chris Cornell was just a total vocal force of nature.
Oh hell yes this is one of their most underrated songs. It really shows Chris full capacity and what a monstrous voice he had, he absolutely went mental in this one.
I understand all the talk about that voice, but what about the incredible drumming!
@Christian Adams
And those guitar rifts. This entire song is next level. Top 5 Soundgarden song. Lyrics. Chris' voice. Drumming. Rifts. The "Feel". It is so awesome
Yes, Chris Cornell has the greatest voice in rock history.

Soundgarden song that hooked me was "Jesus Christ Pose "
@Twisted same
I agree with Lex
Lex, now you have to hear “Beyond the Wheel” by Soundgarden. You will freak!
Agreed. His stunning range and high notes on that tune are unbelievable.
It has to be a live version though, the album version doesn't do it justice
And Birth Ritual
Live version, good stuff
@@Undertaker5083 yes!!! especially live in 1990 i think, Its at a music festival I think in Germany
Finally y'all got to hear the true power of Chris Cornell's voice, now Beyond the Wheel by Soundgarden for even more
This.
They are gonna be blown away again .
Excellent choice. Also don't forget Cold B. And New Damage.
Yup.
Yes but the live version from Superunknown deluxe. WAAY more powerful and Cornells vocal peak.
The incredible vocals, intense and so much range. The guitars are a mix of all kinds of riffs ,all over the map. An outstanding band of the Seattle grunge era. My favorite along with Alice in Chains. Those two bands drew me to that music and made a slightly older(30 at the time) hard rock and metal fan very happy indeed.
I agree, Chris is top 5 for me, his vocal tone is just super human, it makes me laugh out loud on those high notes, its so good!!!
Him and Robert plant
Say Hello 2 Heaven....Hands All Over... the range is mind-blowing
@@lodey Absolutely, the man was just incredable!
@@ojs94bronco43 Definitely, two of the best to ever do it!
I like Sebastian Bach's Vocals as well. Bach & Cornell, two of the greatest 90’s Rock singers
We need more Soundgarden on this channel! 🔥 No one sings like you anymore…
I think “Birth Ritual” by Soundgarden is probably the most unreal Chris Cornell vocal performance. Ridiculously high pitched and LOUD.
That's a good one on the Singles soundtrack
Cornell at the absolute peak of his prodigious power.
This one always feels like atomic powered Black Sabbath to me, and Chris Cornell's voice travels into new dimensions - an amaaaaazing track! I miss Chris sooo damn much 😢 Gone far too freakin' soon. So glad we have epics like this to listen to, but still wish he was still here with us living his best life and making new music ❤👍
this melts sabbath into a tiny puddle of goo
This could be the greatest Soundgarden song ever
So fu#king dirty... it's one of my favorites. My first tattoo was the badmotorfinger sw blade.
Dirty, yeah. Just my opinion, having never heard this song before(I heard the rafio hits through the 90s by Soundgarden), the guitars, bass, drums have a little '90s C.O.C. flavor in this song. (To me)
The guy was incredible. He could sing anything.
I agree with Lex, Chris voice was technically very incredible, very expressive, always in tune, a great range, incredible control, incredible screams without falsetto, but also a beautiful voice when singing melodies

The way they took a slow rocking, like a very old wooden rocking chair. Threw in sounds from a machine shop, and a lyric rhythm that sways like a nursery rhyme. It’s just cool.
My favorite all time Soundgarden song. Has everything that Chris Cornell was and stood for. What a jam. Glad Lex appreciated it. Love the channel guys!
Lex on point as usual! Chris Cornell one of the greatest voices ever.
I love how she’s just loving it! And he’s thinking it out like “this is what I think every day of my life” lol
I grew up on late 60's -70's music. Lots of amazing vocalists during that era and since then. But I'd have to put Chris Cornell in the top five as far as sheer power, range and control. Never heard anything like him. And he seems to do it so effortlessly.
I agree Lex... Chris's had the perfect hard rock voice... You should check out Soundgarden "Hands all over"...
Yes! Baby, Chris!!! 😍
This is actually my most favorite song in the world, EXCEPT only the live version.

There's also quite a few great ones besides the ones that I have listed here 😅
My top 10 singers
1. Kyo- Dir En Grey
2. Kurt Cobain- Nirvana
3. John Lennon- The Beatles
4. Ronnie radke - Falling in reverse
5. Chester Bennington- Linkin park
6. Glenn Danzig- Misfits
7. bradley nowell- sublime
8. tatiana shmailyuk- jinjer
9. dolores o'riordan- The cranberries
10. Jim Morrison- The doors
Ahhh…memories of seeing them live, down front in the pit. Some of the best times I’ve had going to concerts.
First song I ever heard Soundgarden play live was "Hands all over" amazing song when you see it performed live!
My introduction as well. Still one of my Top 10 Soundgarden songs for sure.
Saw them at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, opening for Danzig
One of my favourites. Seen him with Soundgarden and Audioslave. One of THE BEST VOCALISTS EVER. ANYWHERE. ANYTIME. MAN ROCKED !! Cried when he died.
Chris’s best vocal performance for me
OF ALL TIME!!!
Really rocked out in Soundgarden of this era. Try "Rusty Cage" or "Outshined" to get a bit of a taste of the power. And almost every single track on Superunknown is a banger
Wow did not expect to see this! This is one of my all time favorite SG songs. They performed this live at the 1992 Lollapalooza in the Detroit area, and incorporated part of Ted Nugent's song Stranglehold which was fantastic how they did it and that they did it as an homage to being in the Detroit area. Thanks for this! ~Be Blessed
For some more great Cornell vocals, try his live performance of When I'm Down at the Troubadour.
This is, in my opinion, pinnacle Soundgarden. The vocals, the weight of the guitars, the groove of the rhythm section, the angst. It's just a perfect moment from one of my favorite bands.
A lot of people out there agree with Lex on Chris Cornell's voice. Such a good album. "the devil says . . . "
GOOSEBUMPS WITH A COLD CHILL THROUGH THE BODY!!!!!!!
Sex Type Thing from Stone Temple Pilots (The title is misleading, its actually a song against sexism) is one of my favorites from the 90's it's when STP pumped some metal into their sound, definitely worth checking out:) great vid as always!
Just got into velvet revolver. Scott’s passing was so heartbreaking
Crackerman is equally good in that crunchy sexy way. STP is my favorite band.
Soundgarden is awesome! Next up you need to listen to Seeing With My Good Eye Closed, Fell On Black Days, or Superunknown.
I grew up listening to black sabbath and this band most reminded me of them from the grunge period. This is the quintessential sound garden sound!
My favorite song of theirs. Song Rocks!!
This is a good song to describe what it feels like when you snap!
Saw Chris live a few times. Yeah, he can do this live, probably better than the disc. F'n amazeballs !
This song is the perfect example of the vocal sonic blast capabilities of one Mr. Chris Cornell. Just otherworldly!
More Soundgarden guys, you will enjoy every second.
Love Soundgarden. My daughter use to get upset with me for playing them and S.T.P. All the time. I'm almost 65 and 💘 a good wailing , emotional voice!!
So Good,one of the songs that really shows how powerful his voice really was,Loud Love is another one that kicks ass.I agree Lex,him and Robert Plant from Zep
Stoked for more Soundgarden! You guys should checkout the song "Fresh Tendrils" by them next. Cheers
This is one of my favorite Soundgarden songs! So underated!
You have no idea how pleased and thankful I am that you covered this.
One of the very finest rock vocal chorus performances of all time.
Such an amazing talent Chris was. To hear this and then hear him do a song like The Keeper. So versatile.
Chris Cornell, Rob Halford, Jim Morrison, Ronnie James Dio, Sebastian Bach, Bruce Dickinson, Jeff Tate, Robert Planet, Ann Wilson, Eddie Vedder, James LaBrie & Ozzy = all voices I can never get enough of🤘🏻💜🤘🏻
Agree with Lex about Chris voice😍 Loud love is another great example. The intro where his voice seemless takes over from the guitar 👌
i love this woman!!! Her reaction is like so genuine!
You guy's are by far the best duo to watch...super interested in the music and genuine reactions..great content!
Amazing song writer epic singer one of the best ever so glad i got to see him in concert.
Beyond the wheel you should check out also birth ritual
I remember when this was released, whole album was great, couldn't stop listening...kickass band.
This is my favorite Soundgarden track of all time, brilliant just brilliant 🖤 RIP Chris Cornell
When Chris says "So Bleed your heart out!"... WHEW!!! Chris is the GOAT!
One of the single greatest vocal performances ever 🎤🙏
Thank you for reacting to this one. Much love!!
Love Soundgarden. This song in particular is probably the pinnacle of Chris' vocal performances in my opinion.
This may not be Soundgarden's best song, but its their best performance, if that makes sense. It highlights how good they could be as a band, heavy with a groove, and Cornell's vocals are unparalleled here.
Imagine the scene. Dance music and glam rock rule. Heavy Metal dominated hy hair bands singing songs like “Unskinny Bop-op-op-op”. Then comes Chris, ripping his guts out and pouring the bloody mess on the stereo. Our chins never got off the ground.
Is it true?
Yep.
Definitely one of the top 5 SoundGarden songs … check out :” H.I.V BABY! By them .But check out Chris Cornell’s vocals on “ Say hello to Heaven “ by Temple of the dog …and I agree with Lex : Chris was and still is the best … RIP Mr Cornell.
Went absolutely crazy when this album came out, still one of my favorites of all time. Felt like I was listening to it for the first time again, thank you for that! I also have a request for you two if you have the time for it; Kingston Wall - Nepal. Drums are insane on that, and their jamming is out of this world. Less known band, but they are a hidden gem many are missing on.
This album from Soundgarden is truly amazing and this is my favorite song. Put this on driving down the road and I'm head banging and getting weird looks. Chris Cornell can be put in legionary status with his voice. 🤘💥🤘
I love this album so much.
This is my favorite Soundgarden song. A lesson in grunge all in this masterpiece of a track.
Soundgarden - like suicide, searching with my good eye closed, room a thousand years wide, loud love, hands all over, fell on back days, 4th of July.....just to name a few of my favorites 🤘🙂🤘

My favorite Soundgarden song!
Chris Cornell, Freddie Mercury, Maynard, Myles Kennedy, and Geddy Lee. My top 5. So glad y'all finally did this one.
Chris Cornell has one of the greatest voices in music history for sure
'always felt this was Chris' best vocal performance/recording since first listen back in the early 90s.
A crazy blend of absolute control and pushing vocals where you shouldn't. It's so unfortunate his voice was damaged for so many other albums
i love lex. both brad and lex make this feel as if it really is first hearing on their vids. and i love the real commentary... ...
Chris's either a capella, acoustic or heavy as hell had a beast of a range. I was a goth girl studying opera when I first heard "Jesus Christ Pose" by Soundgarden; obsessed ever since. Maynard, Lane and Chris..no one can touch them vocally!
I was lucky enough to see Soundgarden live back in 1992 at a venue called the Institute in Birmingham when they toured the UK for the "Badmotorfinger" album back in 1992 when I was 19.

Yes I would say Chris and Layne Staley are my favourites for sure 👌
This song and 'Rooms a thousand years wide' are two of my favorites from Soundgarden
2:54 LEX IS SO WELL VERSED IN ROCK. SHE HAS EVERYTHING. LUCKY, LUCKY BRAD!
Cornell definitely has one of the greatest Rock voices ever. Even people who are not fans of his bands recognize that. He also has the widest octave range of any I believe, as well as the best control of that range.
One of my favorite songs from Soundgarden
My fav Soundgarden song ever!!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Chris Cornell is THE Grunge God, no doubt! Rest in peace 🙏
03:25 - and this is when I realised I loved her. Shout out from Glasgow, Scotland.
Loud Love is worth a listen. One of the best intros ever.
You are absolutely correct, Lex. Best voice to ever pick up a microphone
I agree with you Lex....Chris does have the best voice...soooo much character, passion and skill
chris cornell does have the best voice of all time, he is the gold standard. His lyrics are also hard to beat. GOAT
Part of this album was recorded up the street from where I live in the Seattle metro area. I actually grew-up in Michigan, a guy I knew as an acquaintance back there named Mark Dancey designed Soundgarden's album covers. He ran a fanzine and played in two key bands in the 80s out of Michigan - Born Without a Face and later Big Chief. Big Chief were signed to Sub Pop Records out here in Seattle in the very early 90s. Incidentally, Maynard James Keenan from Tool also grew-up in Michigan, he was a big fan of Born Without A Face. Soundgarden actually opened this tour on Halloween night 1991 at St Andrew's Hall in Detroit because they liked to play there. The underground rock/punk/metal scene was a very tight-knit scene before it went mainstream, felt as though everyone knew each other and for the most part, we all did meet each other at some point.
About 12 years ago I was at a bar in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle. There was a recording studio in the back room of the bar and Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd was recording an album there at the time. He's spend the night there during the week when sessions went long, the owner of the bar took me back there one night and there were all of these mannequins all over, LOL. Really interesting. FYI - Ben Shepherd wrote the riff for "Slaves & Bulldozer"
Favorite song from Soundgarden I seen them live in Detroit at Lollapalooza
When i saw them live in Austin, you better believe they played this one .. and it made the most of a moshpit the crowd got going
Chris’s voice is so damn unbelievable. You are 100% correct, Lex. Chris…best singer of all time.
