@cldpiece0 I actually learned about Mother Love Bone thanks to following a rabbit hole involving Layne Staley. It's crazy how he ended up passing days before their first release, so they never got the true fame and stardom they deserved. Luckily, Eddie Vedder came along, and ended up forming Pearl Jam with the rest of the band. It's crazy how many of these bands were all interconnected in one way or another
Cornell's voice changes so much from song to song. Here, he gives a blues rocker vibe, a la Robert Plant. On Outshined and Jesus Christ Pose, he's kickass metal singer. On Spoon Man and Black Hole Sun, he's an emotive, beautiful singer. It's amazing really.
his singing diversity sets him apart. Most great rock singers sound great but they have a certain sound and that's it. Chris could sing one song and sound different in another one.
and his love songs are THE ONLY ONES im able to listen to, temple of the dog album for ex i cant stand romantic songs from no one, but his are celestial
the haunting intro guitar with cornells voice fading in is all you need to hear to confirm that chris cornell is the greatest rock singer who ever lived.....absolutely gutted. thanks chris cornell for your amazing talent.
Yeah I mean Freddy Mercury is just the top. Then I have Layne Staley and Chris right there Together. I know there are lot of great vocalist but these are my top 3
My family was not that wealthy when I grew up, so I persuading this jock type in my class to tape headbanger's ball on VHS for me. I remember waiting outside my school every Monday for him to give me these tapes. It was the high light of my week back then, haha. I also clearly remember falling in love with this song the instant I saw this video, and I still love it after all these years. The best Soundgarden song, imo. Rest in peace, Chris.
WOW!!! This still -- 31 years later -- gives me chills and makes the hair on my arms stand up and salute the late great singer Chris Cornell. I still remember our conversation when Soundgarden played the Cleveland Phantasy Theater during this 1990 period. I told him that "I hear the Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath influences in your songs but I love how you guys have created something new, fresh, exciting and powerful. And, dude, your voice can move mountains!" Chris was beaming with a huge smile ear to ear as he simply said, "Thank you."
There's no time to keep it low I've been deaf now I want noise You stay down But I won't be quiet I'll hammer on until you fight Loud love Loud love Loud love Loud love I'll hammer on until you fight If you've got some time to kill Slow resistance wins the war Well I know But that's no way to go You can't resist the louder pull Loud love Loud love Loud love Loud love You can't resist the louder pull, yeah ? Well that's right I want something to explode I've been deaf now I want noise Loud love Loud love Loud love Loud love, love yeah
same here too, this is the song that started it all off for me. Grade 11, saw the video on Muchmusic, got the tape, and have been hooked ever since. Almost coming up to a year, and still so hard. Rest well Chris
SoundGarden Loud Love Lyrics. There's no time to keep it low I've been deaf now I want noise You stay down But I won't be quiet I'll hammer on until you fight Loud Love Loud Love Loud Love Loud Love If you've got some time to kill Slow resistance wins the war Well I know But that's no way to go You can't resist the louder pull Well that's right I want something to explode I've been deaf Now I want noise
This was such an amazing album, i saw them live so many times because I lived in Seattle right before the grunge scene exploded and all these local bands suddenly became popular. Good memoirs , good music, good times.
Gee, I envy you so much. I wish I was there. Grunge didn't come out and circulating around the music scene in Oklahoma until a few years later after Soundgarden's first album. Oklahoma runs behind times. No wonder Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and Stone Temple Pilots rarely played here if ever. It's all country here, which I can't stand. Oklahoma is backwards in their taste in music. Oh, Geez.
I love the drums rhythm from 3:15 to 3:58 it's so unpredicted, so hard to follow. It's so clear the Matt Cameron drumming style. Long life to Soundgarden!
Chris was awsome in all those bands and in solo. Both bands were 2 of my favourites bands of alltime. They had great names (and it's rare) with significant and simple meaning (thanks to Chris) and amazing songs that sounded like no one else. I would love your input on our last video from our first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i1fVRW6z3n4.html and Happy new year
This video was my introduction to Chris Cornell and Soundgarden. I remember seeing this video on MTV's "120 Minutes" for the first time. Here's this guy, shirtless, with hair like a lion's mane, wearing shorts adorned with duct tape, and stomping around in Doc Martens, looking every bit as feral as a wild animal, screaming the song's opening vocals like a shrieking banshee... ...HOLY SH*T. I WAS SOLD. I'd never heard anything like Chris Cornell's voice before or since. This death hurts, because it's one of mine. It's MY GENERATION. 52 is WAY TOO YOUNG. RIP Chris Cornell.
Jesus is this the only one he knows then?? I mean it's a great song but I figure out of all their material his favorite would be something besides loud love, just my opinion. I can't really say anything though because my favorite is flower out of all that Sound to pick from the Garden so I guess I get it lol
Chris Cornell wrote that riff in addition to 60% other SG riffs including Spoonman, The day I tried to live, Rusty Cage, Outshined, Burden in my hand, Searching with my good eye closed, Mind Riot, Ugly Truth, Black Hole Sun. Just giving correct credits.
When this album came out in Seattle I was a 24 year old headbanger with no job, no money, and no clue. This was always my favorite band of 5 or 6 truly groundbreaking acts that were not just part of the same collective in the same scene, they were friends and that led me to be able to see Tad, Screaming Trees, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone/Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, and to a lesser extent Alice in Chains, (we called them Kinder garden because they weren't as good as Soundgarden) in any of the venues in Seattle. Playing with different acts, in smaller towns like Olympia and Bellingham, Spokane or Ellensburg, the shows I witnessed were legend, and you could FEEL it. You knew that what you were witnessing was monumental. Before Nevermind broke all the records, these were just a few of our local bands that you went to the bar and checked out and everyone felt a part of, even those of us that would be early and be in the front and get rewarded by spotting ourselves on an album cover or sleeve. Seeing these videos took me back to a time when young people who got no respect up until the early 90's .clothes, music, hair, drugs and alcohol.. everything we did was bad news for parents, teachers and cops. but when these bands got heard and exported around the globe it changed how I was treated and thought by everyone in town. I remember the change in perception that maybe were not just lazy loser hippie like kids with no brains, but were creative, intelligent, unsatisfied, young people who might have a point once in awhile, and were worth listening to. This collection of young people in the right town, at the right time, created music that influenced people in every corner of the globe and is still listened to, witnessed live and sometimes used to sell stuff.. Some have died, but most have lived lifes beyond any that one could imagine. It was a thing to experience and I thank God that I was allowed to bear witness to one of the biggest creative outputs of sustained quality, popular, hard rock music the world has ever seen in one place and one time. Must have been something in the water.
The Tranya Well having just returned from a decade in Phoenix it appears there is no scene of any real distinction going on... It is so expensive no one I grew up with can even afford to stay in the neighborhoods we grew up in... In the last 30 years Seattle has evolved into an overpriced yuppie (fill in your preferred word) hell with no charm, no feeling, no hope. The Bumbershoot festival, A perennial end of the summer festival used to feature three days of non stop music by the best of the best.. last year not one band I'd pay to see... This year? Weezer ( it would be the third time seeing them for me) and Die Antwoord. That's it! Somebody took everything that was cool about Seattle and jumped ship what is left I don't claim nor do I recognize.
You just about nailed it exactly correct, bdawg. The yuppienerd invasion has destroyed this city. Belltown is a "neighborhood" now. People, other than bums, actually live there. Most of the places we used to go to see bands have been eradicated and replaced with high rise yuppienerd-housing. The charm, eccentricities and quirkiness of the different communities in the Seattle area that were so vital to the creative spark that inspired so many of these bands, have been plowed into a homogenous generic mass filled with anonymous peoples from every corner of the country and the world. The Seattle of our youth is dead and gone forever, and the close-knit community that was instrumental to that late 80's early 90's music scene will never be repeated here. It's a tragedy that can only be fully realized if you had the privilege to grow up here.
RIP LEGEND CC so fortunate to have seen Chris with Audioslave twice & solo once I actually had tix 96 in Massachusetts they cancelled the show because his voice was shot than they broke up and I never got to see them when they reunited 😢 so lucky to see him @ all tho ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The first song of Sound Garden I ever heard. First thought, " This guy in duct tape shorts can really belt it out!" Chris, you'll be missed by soooo many. Prayers for your family.
The interesting thing about me is I actually became bigger fan of Soundgarden after Chris Cornell had died. Unfortunately I didn't arrive in time. I wish I had gotten the chance to listen to them more when Chris was alive. I knew of Soundgarden and some of their songs and I was still really sad when I heard about Chris. After he died I decided to explore his disography a little bit deeper and I found out that I really like his music more than groups that ended before I existed. I now feel that I like Soundgarden more than Nirvana. Its sad, but true that some people are more appreciated in death than they ever were while they were alive. I wish knew more of Chris when he was here. I wish I had been a bigger Soundgarden fan when Chris was alive.
Go dig into Alice In Chains…. Layne Staley was a fucking force man…. And Audioslave never made a bad song. Chris really shined in that group in my opinion.
just like jim...they were searching for NIRVANA...but never found it...they were both looking for truth,but only found drugs,pain, suffering+ lies...when they finally came to a DEAD end(pun intended)they checked out of here...they couldn't take it anymore... better luck next time Chris in finding the answers to life's riddles...
This song is pure heaven from beginning to end. It is my favorite intro to any song, and the first time I saw Chris Cornell gyrating all over the stage... pure bliss. He is packed with sex appeal from head to toe. No one should have that much.
I concur with all these posts. Chris Cornell has replaced all my Rock God's! And they also are great ones. I listen to bangers like this or his softer ballads, at some point everyday.
Damn people will be looking for this stuff till the end of time.A band dare i say to rival Zeppelin.What a voice Chris Cornell had he will be sorely missed.And rest of the band are all awesome and what can you say about Matt Camerons drumming holy shit .I met chris Cornell and Kim Thayill backstage at the third big day out in Sydney Austaralia working as a roadie really genuine guys no ego at all.This is rare of guys of this status.Every other act on the day had come backstage to stare in awe of them.Including the Ramones.These bands where particually focused on WTF Matt Cameron was doing.Literally scratching their heads.Good times, give it your all everybody life is short especially you musicians get it out there.
I agree grunge will be played and loved by fans until the end of the earth. Grunge will never die, because it set a presidence and set an era of music that will be enjoyed by people until the end of times. Like the Beetles, The Doors and Led Zepplin, grunge is forever.
Soundgarden before Superunknown, as much as they're known as a grunge band, they weren't. This is some hard jamming, dare I call it Metal. People need to appreciate Screaming Life and Louder Than Love more, now that's something underrated. Either way, they're fucking incredible. R.i.p. Chris 🤘
