Axl Knows Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yep, better than the other grunge contenders, Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Less commercial appeal, but who cares? SG had a better vocalist, were better songwriters, more skilled musicians, and wrote better fucking songs. Badmotorfinger takes a big shit on Nevermind and Superunknown pisses on In Utero. Jesus Christ Pose is the heaviest song of all time. Anyway, Soundgarden were by far the best band of the 90's full fuckin' stop. Can't wait to see them now that they've reuinited. Chris's voice is coming back, he sounded amazing at the reunion show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cdlove Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Eh, there were plenty of better bands. Hell I like Chris's post Soundgarden stuff better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Great band.Definitely a contender for band of the 90's. Superunknown and Down on the Upside are definitely great records; but the band of the 90's imo, is U2.By the way, Jesus Christ Pose is a excellant track, but Pretty Noose and My Wave are Soundgarden's best, imo.

If I put it on it's always from start to finish. Better 90s bands, Oasis, Nirvana, thank you, come again Nirvana were actually kind of like Soundgarden's retarded, less talented cousin. Oasis were and always will be joke, almost as bad as The Verve. I was at one of their last shows. Worst live band I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC185 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I actually always found Soundgarden the blandest out of all those bands from the 90s, although Cornell probably had the nuttiest voice. I gave them a chance a year or two back and they never clicked. Maybe I should go back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundgarden is a really good band, but Nirvana is a fucking great band.Don't kid yourself. Nirvana's best wouldn't be fit to be Soundgarden B-sides. Superunknown was probably a factor in Cobain's suicide. He just knew he couldn't match that kind of songwriting. It's not a coincidence that Cobain killed himself a month after Superunknown was released. Edited July 15, 2010 by Axl Knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should go back to them.I can understand that.When I was younger I would listen to them, like they were going out of style; but these days I have to be in the mood for Cornell's voice, and even then I only enjoy certain songs. Not full albums like before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now go lay by your dish.I never said that the release of Superunknown caused Cobain to kill himself, I said that I believe it was a factor in his suicide. It was just so much better than anything Nirvana had put out that Kurt must have felt pretty daunted. SG stole the crown from Nirvana with that album and cemented themselves as the best band from the Seattle scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I don't like their last two albums at all. Badmotorfinger I can take or leave. The first two albums are by far their best, IMO. The last three are entirely too boring for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wrote better songs, were more powerful live, wrote better tunes.Oasis were and always will be joke, almost as bad as The Verve. I was at one of their last shows. Worst live band I've seen. Oasis are good a rock n roll band as our times will produce and you can quote me on that. Name one song, one single song, just the one i said and no more, songs by Soundgarden that are even worthy of mention beside Live Forever, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Champagne Supernova or shit, even Liams I'm Outta Time.Answer, none. never said that the release of Superunknown caused Cobain to kill himself, I said that I believe it was a factor in his suicide.

Axl Knows Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I think Kurt would have shat his pants if he'd have heard this performance. His guts would have fallen out if he tried to sing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
