Soundgarden "Hand of God" Live - 1988

HISTORY IN THE MAKING

SOUNDGARDEN PROVES TO BE TOP GREATEST BANDS OF ALL TIME

[cammyshaft1]

Oh yeah. This is what grunge is about. Who cares if you don't play the song note for note or play it too fast or too slow or the vocals don't sound the same everytime. Just get up and play, have a good time and go fucking ape shit. A bit disappointed with the crowd.

[IMSCARED1408]

this is the greatest most awesome Soundgarden footage I have ever seen dude- SERIOUSLY!

[malaliz]

I wouldn't ignore the contribution ben brought to the band, I think he completely changed their direction. Maybe if Hiro stayed in the band SG would have stayed a little heavier and less experimental.

[Coldacre]

'completely changed their direction' is a tad excessive. Chris Cornell has always written the majority of songs in the band, he's more responsible than anyone else. it's funny you used the word 'experimental'. I always thought Ultramega OK was their most experimental album. they got more 'straight down the line' as they went on. just my opinion of course.

[CanyonOasis]

As Soundgarden got older they experimented more with time signatures and alternate tunings. Pre Badmotorfinger is mostly Standard tuning and Drop D. Where as most tracks on Superunknown were using alternate tunings. Also there were some very interesting songs (like half, and ty cobb, an unkind) that would never have existed without ben's contribution. Plus songs generally got longer as there career went on. I think there was more humour on their albums in the Hiro era.

@Coldacre He didn't hardly wrote any of the songs on the first 2 albums.

[Coldacre]

brilliant upload Gwenwhyfer, don't apologize about the quality, there's fuck all footage of the mighty Soundgarden from 85-88. well done and thanks!

[ramiroortega1991]

This song is definitely in the top 3 of the Screaming Life/Fopp album. I prefer obviosly the album version of the song because of the sound quality, but still a killer presentation. Epic guitar work, reminds me of Mudhoney actually.

[Sveekido]

This is my fav song from the Screaming Life/FOPP/Ultramega OK days.

[antifaith82]

That was Jim Jones they sampled on the studio ver. right?

[Benser1993]

Thanks for posting this kick ass video. Love old Sound garden stuff.

And that's the legendary guitar Spider-Man Guild S-1 (customized with a sticker Kim found in a cereal box). Even you can see Spidey Lol.

[zootiehead]

[itswhip]

I wonder of Chris or any of the other former members have sat down and watched any of these old vids.

This video alone would have to spark a reunion, wouldn't you think???

Come on guys!!!!

[cgnetwork1]

@itswhip I guess they did.

[AceOfSpade1234]

Its cool to see how much Chris' voice matured over the next few albums,...

[holenaap]
