It’s not even though you’re not wrong. It’s about an obsessive mail carrier that stalks a woman ( presumably). “Heading for the bottom “is getting caught.
@@hermajestyjenn7928 The song has nothing to do with a woman. Chris Cornell himself has said that “Mailman” is about going postal and killing your boss.
Love how it barely sounds different from the recorded version. Cornell’s voice is so beautiful. Him and Layne are the huge staples of grunge vocals in my personal opinion
That's it surprises me that neither soundgarden or Alice in Chains have been inducted in the rock n roll hall fame yet. Heck, they had Pearl Jam inducted the year Cornell passed yet not Soundgarden?
They recorded Limo Wreck and Mailman with Teles because the single coils offered more clarity with the lower, double-drop tuning that both songs featured.
This was Soundgarden at their peak...when this was filmed they were hands down the best band on the planet...I remember,I was 22 when this album came out & I listened to obsessively for about 2 months 🤘🏻
If it was 1994 that you are referring to, you might be the same age as the guys Green Day, it depends if you were turning 23 in ‘94, you’d be the same age as my dad if you were turning 23 that year. So that’s cool beans
I was 9 years old when Superunknown came out and I got this album from my father's guitar 🎸player from his band. He said "I think you will like these guys ". I listened to this album over and over.
Chris Was Such An Amazing Musician. I don't care what anyone says he was the Greatest Rock Singer of all time. The Man could Sing Anything. Great Band.
@@robvig absolutely man, Chris could have just been a singer. The fact that he picked up the guitar 🎸and learned how play to write music to contribute to the song writing process goes to show his die hard work ethic. He wasn't the best player in the world or anything but wow could he write a song. Very Tallented!.!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just love the mellow rage in this. the lyrics just feel so betrayed. so depraved of something. it makes me feel better. thank you soundgarden for things very select few could accomplish for me. im trying not to make that awful decision in the moment. i gotte keep my head straight. i need these simple things in life to help me patch it up at times. thank you
sew Cornell 3 times on stage. solo electric, solo acoustic and with soundgarden is israel. his voice and stage presence is something that cannot be described in words. I felt like electricity ran through my brain. Simply the best
It shocks me every time I watch it. How the hell you make those Telecaster sound so heavy. It's not normal, those guitars went to the shrink for at least 9 months after this performance.
Still almost 3 years later and I still am stunned that Chris is gone. 2 days before he passed I was online looking to buy tickets for them provided they would be playing in Chicago or Milwaukee. On that tour they were not so I said well they we be back through the Chicago area soon enough. 2 days later on my way into work when I heard the news on the radio. I regret never seeing him perform live.
@@robwalsh9843 that’s intriguing. I don’t recall the Beatles making any relatively dark records, but I’m not a fan so I wouldn’t know. Hmm, I suppose there is that psychedelic element occasionally…
Always felt this right here was the best televised soundgarden live performance, the sound, the performance, everything really on point etc, they were really at their peak heading into Down the Upside release......and then they called it quits. Going out on a high
3:04, awesome musicianship, how Chris slides down the neck on his guitar and Kim starts playing the verse riff again while he's doing that, simple but gives a great feel.
Hello, don't you know me?

I listen to this Every day What I'd give to see #Soundgarden play this Live, Together again Chris. When you left. You took a piece of my heart with you 💞
Those last words sung with that much power and he still hit every single note at perfect pitch. Very few singers can do that live, even some of the great ones have difficulties with that kind of live singing.
This song takes it's time punching and stabbing you in the head; Like rusty locomotive lead grinding it's way up a mountain of flames and a sky painted in red.

This called Mailman cuz they delivered this song perfectly
Damn that’s good

Respec

Chris sounds *better* than the record?..... perhaps. Excellent example of what his voice could do, either way..
Exactly. Kurt may have been the "Face of Grunge" but Chris was the Voice and Layne was the Soul.
THE Mailman performance.
Completely. The best.
Enough said!
Legendary performance
One of Cornell's Finest! 💞
I already 'Loved' this comment
But.
How haven't I found your channel before today??
You've got some boss stuff
@Rusty_Cage 🤘🏼💞
Definitive
God he sounds out of this world. Lord take care of Chris Cornell. Rest In Peace our sweet legend.
Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 🙏💐
Heavy, dark and beautiful song! One of my favorites. Thanks!
Those Telecasters sound so mean...
👍
This song could be a Phd paper on resentment.
Brilliant.
slow and seething hatred, choking and virile, like a wicked infection.
Caught the feeling of the abused workers.
New covid variant:
Yessir it's one hell of a love song 😂🤘
A testament to the underrated heaviness of the telecaster. I love Les Pauls and SGs, but a tele can deliver a crushingly heavy stomp too.
bruh this is gonna get posted in r/guitarcirclejerk lmao
Stick some hot pickups in any bit of wood, send it through some pedals and it'll sound the same.
@@imNotYourDad8000 I'll take it
@@DaveTaste only roughly. There's a certain "cut" to different guitar sounds. The tele has a certain twang/float that a lot of other guitars don't.
They recorded Limo Wreck and Mailman with Teles because the single coils offered more clarity with the lower, double-drop tuning that both songs featured.
04:17 ...... that is vocal devastation. No one in rock even close to this right now.
And never will...
My Favorite Soundgarden Song. I know I’m heading for the bottom......but I’m riding you all. The way. Fuck yeah
Ever?
I mean, I agree. I miss that that guy so much.
Agreed. Only person on his level was Layne Staley and even then I think Chris had the higher vocal range.
I didn't think porn was allowed on RUclips
When MTV mattered.

100 percent!
MTV is still around?
120 Minutes show, was so important in terms of what happened in early-mid 1990s.
Full blown Alternative Music Revolution!
(1991-95)
His voice just comes from another world. Pure perfection. Heartbreaking and mind-blowing. And that bass! I could listen to this all day every day!
Nobody: Telecaster don't sound heavy
Soundgarden: Yes, they sound MONSTROUS 😊
No one will ever sound like this again, ever. When the camera panned Chris and his eyes just turned to black holes. Gave me shivers.
shadap
Same..
Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer so sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 💐💙

How does this not have more views?
Unbelievable. Seriously
I pity those who haven't seen this

MTV used to pass this video often in 1996 . I was 16 .

Matt Camerons drumming is like his face. Angular and chiselled.
Andy M youll find you can tell a lot about someones personality in general by analyzing their facial structure and expressions.
That's the coolest and funniest definition i've ever read lol
That's the most ignorant comment I've heard all day. Go get your palm read now jackass.
Matt is a legend and very underrated. So very versatile
This song was actually written by Matt. Easily one of their most underrated songs.
Two Telecaster attack!
"Did a Fender truck wreck in front of the Soundgarden tour bus?" -Was my 1st thought.
Matt wearing the Screaming Trees "Dust" T-shirt! 🙂
sew Cornell 3 times on stage. solo electric, solo acoustic and with soundgarden is israel.

A Telecaster can't sound heavy? Think again.
Jim Root? 😁👍
joe shmo he’s got humbuckers
Thisnamedosntmatter2u chris and kim have booth single coil
Henry Smith I know the person I was replying to said Jim root who uses a telecaster with humbuckers
They sold me on a Tele for metal. Its not quite a classic tone but its snarly.
I just found out that Matt Cameron wrote the music for my favourite tracks of Superunknown: this one, Fresh Tendrils and Limo Wreck
It shocks me every time I watch it. How the hell you make those Telecaster sound so heavy. It's not normal, those guitars went to the shrink for at least 9 months after this performance.

I only saw them once in Virginia in 99 and wish I had seen them more.
I like how he turns his back at the end as if to say have that you bastards!
dark, hipnotic......thats soungarden
dark and beauty... love so much Chris... say hello to heaven
Raw Cornell, pure rock and his proficient band mates.
the most powerful song of all time. I've heard since 94 and the feeling is the same.
Agreed
Love this song
Album was a staple of mine and it took so long for this to become my favourite
Yes bruv, totally agreed
Check out Cold Bitch, even better
Best Fuck You song ever. Never until now had anyone in mind for this, bet you see me now.
I had no idea telecasters could sound this heavy!!! Fucking BADASS!!! RIP Chris
Tightest band in the fucking world at that time. Love playing this song on guitar. RIP CC
NO ONE can fuck with Soundgarden...
His facial view is so great it feels like a man talkin to the Gods 💞
And to think.... this dude wanted to be a drummer!!!
Metal on Tele's!!!!
My place was beneath you but now I am above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won't see
A future so holy without me
My guilty pleasure. 👌
They had some heavy dirty muddy songs towards the end, a lot on down on the upside.
I Love this song and especially this performance. Thank you for this high quality upload.
My guilty pleasure. This band rocked my youth. A twist of Sabbath and Zeppelin. 🤘
That's exactly my definition for them.
This album was basically Beatles with Zeppelin and Sabbath woven in.
@@robwalsh9843 that’s intriguing. I don’t recall the Beatles making any relatively dark records, but I’m not a fan so I wouldn’t know. Hmm, I suppose there is that psychedelic element occasionally…
yeh the psychedelic thingy and maybe check Revolver album or songs like İ Want You
@@all.the.same.iProductions the Beatles sophisticated songwriting mixed with heavy sound of sabbath with the power vocals of Zeppelin
watch once per day to keep the dust out of your veins....
Yes I agree Chris Cornell awesome Singer ❤
Once again showing how versatile the Fender Telecaster is.
Always felt this right here was the best televised soundgarden live performance, the sound, the performance, everything really on point etc, they were really at their peak heading into Down the Upside release......and then they called it quits. Going out on a high
So powerful and perfect. My fave on this album followed closely by Tendrills.
This is perfect stoner rock with grunge ❤️❤️
Yes!!
This is Stoner/Proto Doom Metal!
badass chris RIP bro!!!!
This is the Sound of 90s a Pre Load era of Metallica
I think it's Cornell's voice plus his expressions that make the music feel so good.
Does it get better than this?
Seriously?
This needs a real release
The most beautiful, artistic version of this song...a true masterpiece!!
Hands Down: Perfection!
I was unaware of Soundgarden utilizing Telecasters.
In stereo!!! finally! Do you have the rest of this show in stereo as well? =)
Gotta give it to the whole band here.. I know people are Chris this and Chris that.. But it is the whole band gelling.
The most powerful lyrics of all time
"For all of the times
when
you made me disappear
this time
I'm sure you'll know
that I am here"
put this on 1.5 speed hd, your life will never be the same.
Holy shit!
+NudeDragon12 Shows you how fucking tight these guys were. Damm at their peak they were untouchable.
prefer slow, dark and doom like normal
Are you in a hurry to hit rock bottom?
actually I prefer it on 0.75.
Badass performance why cant music be like this today in 2021?
You should take matters into your own hands, maybe
Four amazing musicians!!
Yes I agree awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer,RIP💐
indeed
Finally my favorite Soundgarden song in HD,and my favorite concert too
I fucking love this song. Very sabbath
2021 and I'm still in love for this band. I really miss Chris and Soundgarden
2022 and same!!!!

Happy birthday Chris, you're forever in our hearts ♥️

Those telecasters sound sexy, man...
Production of this whole show was ace
With his voice Chris was like a hurricane 😔💔
Excellent song off a excellent album by a FANTASTIC SORELY MISSED BAND 😢😢
Mailman rocks god dammit !
The heaviness from those single coil teles 😩
At 3min25.... Amazing !!! And 2 telecaster... beautifull !!
Stephane Gbt That whole verse is some of his best singing of all-time, in my opinion. He nailed that tone.
Great and underrated song...
Brutal as well ...
I come here every so often.
One of those instances where the live version is at least as good as the studio recording.
I'm putting this here to see how many people out there are aware of this Amazing performance❣️
And still listening to Our #Legend CC 🤘🏼🤘🏼💫🖤
Still love to listen to sound Garden a awesome group and Chris Cornell a legend awesome singer
I love this you make me sick i make music kind of song. RIP my friend.
Killer version!!
Perfect in every way.

GOD sound like CHRIS
That’s pretty close to what Black Sabbath would do .
