Badmotorfinger was my introduction to Soundgarden, and I was blown away by Slaves and Bulldozers. If I had enough Jack Daniels, I could actually sing it, but my cigarette smoking made it really difficult. Then my friend Gabe introduced me to the earlier stuff on Deep Six, Screaming Life/Fopp, and Ultramega OK. Nothing to Say and Beyond the Wheel blew me away. As a matter of fact, the riff from Beyond the Wheel is very similar to Slaves and Bulldozers. All of the old school Seattle stuff that was released on cassette or CD by SubPop or C/Z records and ANYTHING engineered and produced with Jack Endino is amazing. Hearing the early sounds/germs of the developing music explosion is even better than the post-Nirvana scene. I love this interview. Rick Beato asks a question and Kim Thayil says something like "Dude. This was 30 years ago", but then he rehashes it like it was yesterday. To Layne Staley, Andy Wood, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain, Mark Lanagan, Kristen Pfaff (jeez - there's too many), and anyone I missed - THANK YOU for your artistry and I hope you're in a better place.

I smoked for one year just to help fill out my voice, just for Chris's stuff. Not heavy, and I'm not recommending this, and did stop, but it certainly seemed to help. Just being honest.

Jack said there's something in the water and he might be on to something.

When he talked a minute later about how the singers were developing, he didn’t mention how Chris actually suggested to Layne to start using his lower voice when recording and singing since Layne ALWAYS used only his highs in his and AIC’s early days.

It's a pity Jerry Cantrell is forgotten in these conversations, for me the driving force behind AIC.

I used to live in Seattle and that guy Kim was everywhere. Coffee joints shows and the E.R. A.A. meetings on Aurora Ave, the other guy I saw at those meetings was the bass player from AIC he would leave the chair next to him vacant for Layne

Great band. If you like Chris's voice, listen to Ian Thornley of Big Wreck. Phenomenal guitarist plus he kinda sounds similar to Chris. I like both.

Ian isn't even close to Chris.

The lead singer of the short lived band operator sound closer to Chris style soul crusher definitely had spoonman vibes
@mikedavis8008 7 місяців тому
Didn't he also have a side project called Thornley as well ?

If there's a band that truly deserves more praise and success, that's Big Wreck. A friend of mine told me once, "Big Wreck is elite hard rock, they will never be huge. It's only for elite listeners". I think he's right. You really need to know your music game to fully appreciate how great they are.

@stonerdemon I live in Idaho. Sadly. Will never get to see them. Oh well. Guess I've seen a lot in 62 yrs. And cheaply, too. $7-$10 back in the day.

When you saw Soundgarden live On stage it was like something out of a dream... I will never forget how I discovered Soundgarden... I was clocking out at a screen printing company in West Virginia that I worked at.. we predominately did shirts for punk rock bands and stuff like.. which went on to be a huge screen printing company called Balzout... And I was clocking out one day and there was a cassette tape waiting in the floor... I normally wouldn't have thought anything of it but I walked over and picked it up... It said Soundgarden louder than Love... And I put it in my walkman and listen to it as I walked home... I was like oh my God this is incredible!!! And I am a second-generation punk-rocker I was listening to social distortion and stuff like that at the time... But I gave this to benefit of the doubt because I was a katar player changed everything.

Kim Thayil is so self-deprecating - and he always is - for being such a great rock musician. I mean, he's the total package.

Lost my brother this last May to fent poisoning. He was a huge fan of Chris. The last song he told me was his favorite was Moth by Audioslave. I fucking hate drugs.

Lou Gramm started out as a drummer, too and had no ambitions initially to sing. Thank God he did sing and became one of the greatest of all time.

Excellent🙌 thank you for sharing! @ 5:40 the talk is loudness, got me thinking 🤔 it would be neat to have a vocal loudness scale. Tiny Tim Vs Shirley Temple, Chris Cornell Vs ? Chris was special, cut from different cloth that was on fire...❤️
