Guest Len B'stard Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) don't see how anybody can take "Guess what daddy's bringing home for supper?/black person nuts and guts and slabs of human meat motherfucker..." seriously. Brotha combined outright black comedy with serious elements, as Eminem does. It's like a joke about how fucked up everything is.I get this a lot with the more freakier end of metal, it seems like shock tactics for its own sake, which is kinda...lame. In my opinion anyway, its just not my thing, it just seems kinda...kiddy. I mean i like Alice Cooper but its all theatre with Alice...but you get bands like...Rammstein and whoever those fuckin...gore metal weird fuckers are that with names like Anal Cowboys from Hells Whorehouse or whatever, with their leatherface masks and its like...uhhh, okaayyy. I guess its just a taste thing. With Eminem its abunduntly clear that he's joking, he's self-depracating (or was early on quite a bit) so i guess that helps. Perhaps its just not my thing but it just comes across as kinda limp. There's humor in bands in lots of ways and place (Nirvana are a great example of that, Kurt lyrics were pretty much full of humor and irony) but there's gotta be something special about it for me.What you're citing as examples of Cornells prowess are, granted, fucking amazing. I had no idea he could sing that well but despite all of that it doesn't come across as anything a lot beyond really well sung blues-rock vocals...doesn't even really enter into whats great about Marvin...not even a patch. I was never a big one for those horsey Eddie Vedder type vocalist, they all sound kinda samey to me to be honest although i must concede there's something quite exceptional about the way Cornell does his thing. But exceptional within the framework of his style of music, actually thats unfair, its pretty generally exceptional but...it doesn't really enter into the sort of thing people like Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder or even Michael Jackson (as much as i dislike him) did.

CheapJon Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 tool, ratm, refused, blind melon, down, pantera, korn and rammstein are just a few 90's bands that are thousands times better than soundgarden :rofl-lol: Tool are like Soundgarden's YET MORE retarded cousin. Even more retarded than Nirvana. I mean, Tool are like the cousin that drools all the time and shits his diapers even though he's 23. The rest aren't even worth mentioning, I mean, Pantera?...

Spoon87 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Soundgarden is a fucking great band and Superunknown is up there with the greatest records of the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick83 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 When I first heard Soundgarden many years ago, I didn't get it. I listed to Badmotorfinger, and then put it in my junk bin. I guess at that time, I didn't realize the brilliance.Years later, I started listening to them, and they provided some of the most powerful music/life soundtrack experiences I had ever had. Soundgarden became the soundtrack to almost 3 years of my life.I debated with myself who was the best band of the 90's, and I decided it was indeed Soundgarden. I originally though Alice in Chains was that band, and it came close.To anyone out there who hasn't listened to, or gave up on Soundgarden: save this band for important moments of your life, and begin listening to them. You will be so happy you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanatic Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Meh, I prefer Alice In Chains to Soundgarden.And I think Pearl Jam is the best band of the 90's.That's not to say I don't love Soundgarden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrandyk Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I dont care where you take the argument whoever the band of the 90s is was huge in the early part of the decade because from the second half of the 90s onward has had nothing. Lets just call grunge the band of the 90s lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Nirvana > Alice in Chains > Soundgardenand lolpearljamI think all of those bands are equal; Though Nirvana does have the best all round album out of the three.Jar of Flies is very underrated by the way.

I think Sap and Jar of Flies are both as good as Facelift if not a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Eyes Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Their decent man, I like them.I think the nineties were Oasis' decade but its each to their own like.. I'm british so I'm gonna relate to oasis better and you're american (??) so you'll relate to soundgarden better, it's just how it is.I thought Primal Scream were on fire in the nighties as well, and Godspeed You Black Emperor.. at least I think they were nineties.
