I love'em from the early times to the last ones, including screaming life and fopp, although I consider "down on the upside" an inferior album because it miss kim thayil's compositions and therefore the darkest, doomest, coldest, blacksabbath-like side of SG.
however videos from the grunge era were very unpleasant.
MMMMMmmmmmm LOVE THIS BAND SO MUCH!! Man I wish they didn't turn into Audioslave.I heard some of their new stuff which was pretty good,but it just isn't the same! I miss the flowing hair,raw screaming & dirtiness.
One of the best rock band of all time and the fact that Johnny Cash would deign to cover this particular tune just shows how badass it really is. Take that Jonas Bros., Lady Gaga, et all.....
The base player of this band used to work at a store I used to go to called Wild Rags! LOL Everytime I would ask him for an album, he would say, "We don't have it".
Great song...love the sound of the recording too, if u notice, the bass has this kinda mid-rangy, flapping attack, killer drums & hypno electric-drill guitar..i heard they're back in action...Is Matt Cameron gonna rejoin?
What this line means is open to anybody, to me this lines means "The protagonist beats a flowing,churning river to the point where it's nothing more than dead, still water."
If you see it that way, the line is pretty violent, in a positive sense.
The song is (to me) about rage, anger, breaking free from a deadlocked life. Not in a sense of being violent to other people but starting anew.
Good i can see your theory how ever i think this was a story of a person that took soo much crap that one day he snaps and this is basicly it. like 'You hit with with a head of broken nails. You pull my chain and watch my blood begin to boil' so that rusty cage was hes life till he broke free. I broke my rusty cage a a long time ago.. Great song
@opiumrebel - I've often wondered if he was talking about the Stillwater river in Oregon. These guys are from Seattle, after all. "Ride a pack of dogs" could be a reference to the Iditarod held around that area (metaphor for something, maybe?). The meaning would still be the same, though, regardless of the imagery.
First, a bunch of thanks for some lectures about American culture, being from Europe I wasn't aware about those facts ( I must admit I had to look up Iditarod in my Oxfort dictionary). Now I now the background of the lyrics, they make sense in that way (Though I prefer my interpretation of "take the river down to still water") ;-). I guess Chris refers to the things you say.

Thank you for such a well-considered, intellectually stimulating response. I love you, too. P.S. What is a "fukface"? Is what one wears over a closed mind?
just wondering, when do you think that chris looked the most badass, then with his long hair, audioslave with his short hair, or now with his fro/not a for?
Ha! What???? Oh god! You, my friend need to become familiar!!!!!! All of their stuff is excellent! I suggest you also try Audioslave if you like these guys. It's the same singer and the style and sound is pretty much the same. Both are excellent! Sorry this is long...I just got really excited! You've never heard of these guys???? Peace...:)
hum....i'm changin my opinion 'bout grunge bands...what people say 'bout them, that grunge are relaxed is just 'bout that fuck nirvana...look at this sound...so zeppelinian!! pearl jam's ten is almost psychedelic, now this tunew...fuck nirvana! (except grohl, awesome drummer)
oh yea, btw, im a latecomer in the world of rock, i liked it before (due to repetition in media such as movies and video games) but it wasnt until i heard killing in the name of when i was playing gta san andreas that i really got into it. yea, san andreas had this track too. first time i heard it, awesome track
1st time i eever heard this song i was about 6/7 possibly 8 on road rash on the playstation :) god it brings back memories, anyway yeah, its great, guitar isn't complicated but sounds great :)
I remember they used this song for the opening FMV on Road Rash 3D, with cops chasing dudes on bikes. But I only ever played the 3DO version. It was probably the same on the Saturn though. :)
OH YEAH!!!!! My favorite Soundgarden song ever.. just had that grinding grunge guitar that could lift me from the shittiest day when cranked at full blast. God how I miss the early 90's rock that has been replaced with this emo-scene shit with whiny mascara-laden skinny jeans-wearing fags. Bring back flannel, torn jeans and grunge.

What this line means is open to anybody, to me this lines means "The protagonist beats a flowing,churning river to the point where it's nothing more than dead, still water."
If you see it that way, the line is pretty violent, in a positive sense.
The song is (to me) about rage, anger, breaking free from a deadlocked life. Not in a sense of being violent to other people but starting anew.

@opiumrebel - I've often wondered if he was talking about the Stillwater river in Oregon. These guys are from Seattle, after all. "Ride a pack of dogs" could be a reference to the Iditarod held around that area (metaphor for something, maybe?). The meaning would still be the same, though, regardless of the imagery.

Part I
First, a bunch of thanks for some lectures about American culture, being from Europe I wasn't aware about those facts ( I must admit I had to look up Iditarod in my Oxfort dictionary). Now I now the background of the lyrics, they make sense in that way (Though I prefer my interpretation of "take the river down to still water") ;-). I guess Chris refers to the things you say.

( in part one it should read "Now I know..", sorry for the misspelling).
But some questions are still unanswered, what does Chris mean when singing "Hits like a Phillips head..."
But thanks again for clarifying some of the mysteries.

Phillips is a type of screw head, drill bit tip or screwdriver end. in other words, it's the "star" shaped one. Roberts refers to the "square" headed or tipped ones.
