Soundgarden - Homicidal Suicidal (Budgie Cover)

[braindrain52389]

JOHN FOGERTY!!!

[Brown92SG]

I have to say that this cover made me want to listen to Budgie more than Metallica's covers did.

[heinzpo]

@Brown92SG I was thinking the same and not knowing how to say it without offending the Chris Cornell's fan-club.

[TheBigMclargehuge]

Wonton killer? Nomnomnomnom!

[TheGreaterGood80]

I personally like that it isn't 100% like the original. Why not do your own thing instead of simply covering?

[barnetboy1]

Hi squeekification,I'm 54 and still turning to Budgie's early abums for a rock-out! I bought their 1st album 'cos I liked the sleeve artwork and the notes on the back.A "Funking Good Rock Band"-Roger Bain,no less!.Never looked back.

Please say Hi to Ray,if and when you see him,and pass on a long standing Budgie fan's thanks for some top gigs, and some great double bass drumming!

[GRILLBUOY101]

a tad slow but still a great version chris's voice is great burke shelly is the best though

[swamptoy75]

Yeppers Hotdoggins Was WestSeattle wasnt Hers ! Thanks You DJ .

[TheGreaterGood80]

Soundgarden:=the perfect blend of 80's hardcore punk and thrash metal sensibilities to early 70's metal like Budgie, Zeppelin and Sabbath

[ggsenturk]

BUDGIE was much better for this song

[5Cincinnatus]

great band covering a great band

[swamptoy75]

@5Cincinnatus . Well Said 5.

[sabbathofcolorblack]

Soundgarden loves my favorite song.

[squeakification]

not a bad take,but saw budgie doing this number live as a teenager back in the 70's i'm 53 now but still sodding love it, got to say this cos i live near ray (original drummer) he might read this.hi! ray.

[DeathMetalAxial]

Nice lenght of a video!!

[fuzegt]

Ahurr hurr hurr

[kris35x]

spox Budgie :)

[23266334]

with whole respect they due the song sound pretty lazy , doesn t it sountd heavy , budgie playing this sound with shortage budget on 1970 and they did awesome proto speed metal recording , each song in the lp to devastate the ears

[fuzzleredmenn]

Its a bit sluggish alright! Budgie are very underrated, their 70's albums are all phenomenal.

[mdelair420]

@fuzzleredmenn yea i agrea i love sound garden. but budgie for their day were and still are the shiot....peace.

[TheBigMclargehuge]

@mdelair420 Honestly I think most of what budgie did was copy Zeppelin. And I mean shamelessly copy. I've been meaning to do mash ups for some time now. They still wrote some sick music, no doubt.

[DoomMetalSludge]

@TheBigMclargehuge I don't think its far to generally say every band copied each other. I mean sure, they probably lifted some stuff from each other, but Rock music was headed in a heavy blues oriented direction anyway and I really think that the bands just happened to sound similar in some cases due to this.

[TheBigMclargehuge]

@DoomMetalSludge Certainly. But this is one of those cases where it was clear they were listening to one song trying to write another just like it. (straight down to the heyyyyyyy girl). I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. John Christ wanted to do a riff like in Zero the Hero, and you got Her Black Wings. Matt Pike was trying to do Hole In the Sky, and we got The Druid. It interests me how music evolves, it's these little copies that can gradually become a whole new species.

[DoomMetalSludge]

@TheBigMclargehuge You hear Zeppelin in this? I mean, I hear Sabbath Master Of Reality (This album actually came out a month before MOR!) but I agree with the evolution thing. Thats why I get pissed when people dismiss bands like Pentagram, Saint Vitus, and Sleep as Sabbath clones. The more you listen to them, the more you realize they don't sound like Sabbath really at all other then a few parts here and there. Its all about adding your own element to the music.

[TheBigMclargehuge]

@DoomMetalSludge By "this" I was referring to "the author" which I believe is totally a lifted zep song, which I mentioned in my first post. Sorry, didn't mean to spin the Wheels of Confusion hehe. Anyhow, exactly.. Pentagram was way ahead of modern era Doom, but they were probably doing exactly what you and I do.. They were sitting at their instruments one day thinking "DAMN I wish I wrote The Writ".

[TheBigMclargehuge]

@TheBigMclargehuge I think it helps to understand the reality of the situation. Pentagram can't write Sabbath, and Sabbath can't write Pentagram. Approaching the composition of a song with this attitude has made me far less intimidated by the wealth of great Stoner / Doom that's already out there.



[mdelair420]

@TheBigMclargehuge well your free to think that, but they are really so different one, they are more metal and more orginal than that. so to me they are nothing like zepplin. zep was a huge radio band budgie more underground. plus i think bourge and shelly were there own music ,own creation.peace bro.

[unleashed2rage]

do know that budgie was an influnce on soundgarden. i love both bands = D

[MattHatter]

Good cover, Chris' vocals are just friggin' awesome here, but Budgie's original packed more of a wallop!

[scallyhunter]

i had this on the 'outshined' CD single. only wish i could find it!!!!

never knew it was a budgie cover- interesting!

[toda304]

now i really like Budgie, but this is great cheers

[16penney]

Soundgarden was such a great band, what more can be said.

[universal90]

a classic.

[itswhip]

Is there anyway for me to get a few of these songs from you? Or can you tell me where you got them?

[Chrotisofus]

Where on the internet have you found these?? I thank you so much for posting these songs here.

[truthisugly]

Is there a complilation where I can get all these SG songs on CD?

[SGBSides]

Kim Thayil has the rights to all the b-sides, so he's in control of when the CD gets released, which should have been after A-sides. That was ten years ago, and I came across these on the internet and I'm not sure if B-Sides will ever get released.

[metalyouth666]

@SGBSides soundgarden are back.
