To all the people complaining about this song being not up to standard, have you thought for a second that maybe that's why this was never released on a Soundgarden album until now? It's a B-Side. You aren't really supposed to release B-Sides unless your fans really want to hear them... which is what happened... weird huh?
As a Musician/Guitar player since 1987,Full time professional since 2006 i have to say that Chris Cornell and his songwriting + Performance with Soundgarden/Audioslave/Temple of the dog . If i take the "worst " songs /Albums or Performances through 40 years +/- over 50% of it is still above all Albums releases world wide over the same time span ⚡
The more I listen to this music the more I hear a prelude to Limo Wreck! And yet again I was listening to New Damage and a part of it sounds like this. Amazing music, amazing band.
you really have to understand the beauty of chaos in this song, the chaotic riffs are like a slap in the face to the fairweather Soundgarden fan but we have been hearing this sound back in the early grunge days, the genre itself toned down to be radio friendly.
I imagine a fireman or rescue worker running up the stairs of a collapsing building (like the twin towers) while everything around him is falling apart and burning. The solid but pounding drum beat must represent his heartbeat, the climbing bassline is the adrenaline pumping through him and the 'messy' guitars have to be the building coming down and the chaos around it. Classic Soundgarden, pure gold indeed.
@@RiverOfDeceit2380 doesn't have to be the original interpretation to work, music evokes feelings however it does for whoever's listening. Especially instrumentals since there's no lyric to hook meaning around.
Holy- this is my first time listening to another song from Soundgarden that isn't Black Hole Sun, and I can say it's pretty amazing. It's eclectic, raw, heavy, entertaining (if that makes sense.) I'm listening to more!
TLDR: try to focus first on the bassline without getting distracted by the lead riff, and the song will make somewhat more sense. Why this song (especially the verses) will sound wonky to most people: the bassline goes from root => minor 2nd => minor 3rd => fourth, meanwhile the sixth note of the angular lead guitar riff is a major 3rd which is really clashy when played on top of that minor-2/minor-3 context. Focus on the root notes the bass is playing, and the song makes more sense, rather than letting that lead riff yank your musical reference point every whichway. I like the song but I can see why a lot of people would find it unpalatable. This much use of minor-2, augmented-4, and playing major-minor simultaneously is not going to have mass appeal, ever. But like I said, if you focus on following the bass first, the rest begins to flow a little better.
Was not expecting an instrumental. Sound is kinda wonky (a little too much crunch), but all the notes seem to be in the right place. Verdict: it probably sounds better live, but I still like this B-side.
Yeah it really does. You got a good ear on this one. These new Soundgarden songs really tickle my sludgy and stonery sensibilities. Completely unexpected but oh so fucking Welcome.
Haha for sure... I liked king animal but it wasn't dark enough for me... I have a feeling their next release will be nics and brooding like Ben Shepherds new album.
Timi T. I realize that, but I just don't hear how somebody finds it good. I can listen to music I don't like and figure out the value some people might get from it, but this one doesn't do it. Btw what's the first song you used in your "Goodbye video"? The guy with the deep Mark Lanegan/Tom Waits voice.
