  • A side by side comparison between the three versions of Black Hole Sun.
    Thanks to u/Notelu on reddit.
    The first version started airing ~June 1994. Sometime between it's first airing and July it had already been replaced by the Second Version. That is because people were calling the number shown at 1:35. Sometime between July 1994 and June 1995 the second version was switched out for the more common 3rd version. Most likely the 3rd version is what the band wanted, but the first early version was released because of how popular the song got. The first version aired on daytime TV for a while afterwards and might still air internationally. [The recording used is from 2002-2018 on ABC1 (Australian) Most likely later as this recording only showed up literally 2 weeks ago on SoulSeekQT].

    There's an earlier version. I remember the girl spitting out the ice cream without any effects, because it startled me when the version with the effect came out. 100% sure because I had it recorded on VHS and watched the music video 100x. I recorded all new songs that came out on MTV so it might have been the first airing. Edit : Watched it again and I also remember the guys laying on their back swatting the bees, there were no bees in the original version....I remember that because I was thinking "what are they doing???".

      TBH I don't see any difference at all between version 1 and 2, except for the removal of the 1-800-TRUTH on the TV screen. Version 3 is way overproduced and the excessive CG just detracts from the video.

    Someone had to do this:
    Every major difference between each version -
    0:07 - version 3 has different transitions to v1 & 2
    0:20 version 3 shows cgi when v1 & 2 continue showing video footage
    0:23 version 3 sky is lighter shade of blue with different cloud patterns
    0:33 hard to notice but old man’s smile is edited in version 3 with none in other versions
    0:35 same as previous but with whole face on man mowing lawns
    0:40 different distortions on face and closer shot on version 3 than others
    0:46 no hill in background and lower shot + sky
    1:00 early cut to cgi on version 3
    1:10 different cgi on womans face
    1:23 weird cgi butterflies on version 3
    1:32 lighter sky on version 3
    1:34 version 1 has a phone number - 1-800-truth which was removed from other versions because too many people were calling the number
    1:37 v3 lighter sky
    1:48 that again why are you still reading this
    2:09 lighter sky on 1&2 for once
    2:14 dancing girl added for no reason
    2:37 version 1&2 cut to woman’s face, 3 goes to cgi
    2:50 another v3 early cgi cut
    2:52 creepy 90s cgi lizard tongue on v3
    3:00 lots more cgi on 3 than 1&2
    3:03 most of scene in 1&2 use gray backgrounds compared to red in v3
    3:33 it’s not a feature but does everyone agree this is the best part of the song
    3:43 cgi in v3 on woman’s face
    3:52 back to more v3 red background and gray 1&2
    3:54 old people return but with lots of light in v3
    4:17 same shot used but cgi in the sky in v3 others seem normal
    4:24 weird timing delay between transitions
    4:25 prams flash red on v3 blue on 1&2
    4:44 v1&2 recycle same scene v3 shows house being destroyed in cgi
    4:48 the literal creepiest sh*t I’ve ever seen in v1&2 but 3 lighting creepy too
    4:57 yet again cgi on 3 recycled scenes in 1&2
    5:24 v3 ends in cgi while others show band leaving

      Good work. I wonder if the addition of the dancing girl @ 2:14 was a shot at the Bee Girl from the Blind Melon video (especially as the video already had a swarm of bees in the sequence with the old woman's body). Other than that (as you pointed out earlier), there was really no artistic reason to have her inserted into the sequence otherwise.

    • @JFS3

      I have since read that the pendant Chris Cornell was wearing was purportedly a gift from Shannon Hoon, so that could explain the shout out to Blind Melon in Version 3.

    Pretty sure this is the only video on all of YT that shows the original Black Hole Sun video. The 1-800-TRUTH on the TV screen was the one thing that stuck out the most to me in the video (at 1:33). The faces were a little uncomfortable sure, but I never thought they were scary.

    While I was born in 1999, there was still bleedover from the grunge era into the early 000s and yeah this video while it didn’t scare me it was pretty unerving. I think the versions that were played a lot was versions 2 and 3 around that time.
    Looking back the video is almost Lovecraftian with a Cosmic Horror Black Hole Sun causing a rift on a small Surburb town that drives people to insanity and sucks up everything in sight.
    Love the song, video, the Superunknown album and Soundgarden. RIP Chris Cornell

    I like some of the CGI black hole effects in Version 3 and while I'm all for adding little extra bits (especially if it's stuff that should've been there before), I think it was overdone. I also don't understand certain changes, like some of the faces. As a kid, the woman at 4:47 terrified me as much as the woman with the fish (which I'm glad is the same on all versions). As I got older, I learned to find this video and it's faces humorous, now anytime I see version 3, I wonder what was wrong with the original and feel bummed that anything was changed. Still love this video, but also still partial to Version 1.

  • @jam9852

    For the visuals I have to say that Version 1 is the scariest but version 3 is the best overall product for adding more of the actual black hole
    Version 3 also adds the most to the original video and song atmosphere especially at the ending.
    Also why was the girl with the skipping rope jumping next to the dead person only added in version 3 ?
