Soundgarden - Spoonman (Music Video)

[lefdepord]

2:52 when did people who play the spoons start masturbating?

[peacization]

amazin song 4:20 yeah cant wait till they start touring again

[myToolisBigger]

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE BROWN AND RED.

[sgtroq]

The guy in the video is SPOONMAN. I went to law school in the Seattle area when the music scene took off there. My roommates and I really got into the music scene there. Spoonman was a local figure down at Pike's Place. He played spoons and I remember he had like callouses/scars on his cheeks from using the spoons on them so much. I wonder whatever happened to Spoonman? If anyone knows, give me a heads-up.

[coreyxh]

i learned just now he was saying spoonman that entire time

[ghostexplor3r28]

spoonman, the purple dragon. funny cuz the video is 4:20 long

[trumpetguy19]

Chris has one of the most unbelievable voices of all time.

[go2man1013]

didnt Chris go to pop now?

[not2niteluv]

ok this is not 1987 unless you heard of nirvana. THis Song happens to be about heroin.

[not2niteluv]

good shoot

[om3n147147]

i saw them at lollapolooza they still got. never in my life saw so many middle age people stoned out their mind but hey who cares i my ass stoned ass hell to

[holymonkey12]

@om3n147147 damn u should go 2 a slightly stoopid concert people wer passing their bongs around to people they havent even met it was sickkkk

[blacksquidward12345]

@om3n147147 saw them as well at lolla. theyre still so great and heavy. concert was so loud and people were so messed up that night it was great.

[mrnikko419]

It's weird that the SoundGarden video with the most views at the moment doesn't even have any video clips in it featuring the band. It pans around pictures of the band and pictures of other stuff but the only actual video is of the guy playing spoons.

[EireneOtrera]

the first set of eyes look like the lead singer of Seether.

[janter101087]

It is irritating as hell to have someone jerk keep count of people who for whatever reason choose not to leave a rating 

[4321cheese]

0:18.

[guitarnick914]

it saddens me that THIS, the most veiwed soundgarden video of all time, isnt even half of the veiws of a lower veiws justin beiber vid. what has the music company come to?

[uhuju1]

lol in the game oblivion the elder scrolls 4 theres A ripoff of this song theres a guy named forkman :P

[TheAMGLover]

This is a true classic ! Spoonman !

[maddie75724]

this song is odd but katchy

[RussMaGuss]

Seeing them at Lollapalooza is gonna kick so much ass!

[ForceRecon198]

No clue who the hell Spoonman is but he sounds like he could kick Chuck NOrris's ass.

[LUCUX85]

@ForceRecon198

it was a homeless that used spoons to make music....not for melting heroin like soundgardens used to do ahahah

[Valkyrie1965]

Excuse me youtube, there are 94 people on here who dont know shit about good music. might wanna check that out

[samoerai009]

how the f*** can't jou like this

[ste118]

[fortheloveoftunes]

[ScooterBob1234]

[beaupedraza]

When I was younger, I thought they were saying "spumen". Yeah, I wasn't the brightest lad.

[TheAMGLover]

[alexplummer1994]

90s



[alexplummer1994]

90s



[gothicgir111]

i like soundgarden..love others tho..heard better shyt u know..this is alright

[gtsvideodotcom]

Cornell should dress up like dali for halloween... he could really pull that off.

[MisterGlassesGeek]

Every time i don't tap my foot to this song bad things start happening and my foot strts hurting.

[oakforestboys]

how bout that drum solo

awesome

[kgbrace]

the problem with this video is that its too hard to hear the spoons! Thats like the best part of the song, they need to boost the sound of the spoon man and turn down the drums.

[TheRobynBobyn]

the first time i heard this song was when we first got our PS2 for christmas. my sister and i rocked out to it on atv 1 :D

[cbmlmz]

@TheRobynBobyn same here bro

[TheOrigionalArroyo]

@TheRobynBobyn BEST ATV GAME EVER!!

[NAllen828]

The riff from this is one of the first I ever learned.

[mspirate12610]

his voice is like sugar to my strawberries.

[HAYDS510]

@mspirate12610 hahaha



[TheSmashingPumkinz]

@mspirate12610 Chris' wow thats weird

[whysoserios5]

@TheSmashingPumkinz I hate the smashing pumpkins. Maybe if the vocals didn't sound like crap I would like them.

[TheSmashingPumkinz]

@whysoserios5 Chris' voice is good i love his voice but Billy Corgans is Better than his and yours and alot of other peoples there vocals dont suck so go f off

[HAYDS510]

@TheSmashingPumkinz hmm, i really wouldn't say billy corgan sounds better than this guy, but smashing pumpkins are good too!

[whysoserios5]

@TheSmashingPumkinz Maybe if he didnt sound like a queer...

[TheSmashingPumkinz]

@whysoserios5 Well whatever faggot Billy Corgan's voices does

not sound like a queer

[TheHitchhikingHippie]

so much talent in this band, too bad they only have 2 songs worth listening too :(

[TheSmashingPumkinz]

@TheHitchhikingHippie What the hell are you talking about

[Sveinkiboy99]

@TheHitchhikingHippie

lol a lot more than 2.

Just the whole Superunknown album has what 15 or 16 songs, they're all awesome. Hence the 5 star review from everyone.

[HAYDS510]

@Sveinkiboy99 yep 1hr and 13 minutes of goodness 

[Creecher66]

i dont like how the spoon man does not let you clap when your listening to his music werid

[choloman72]

some of the lyrics in this song sound like man in the box but idk if this song was made before or after man in the box

[EatCheezetopleeze]

Easily one of the best songs of all time. Period.

[camarojuana]

Miss that great 90's riff rock sound. Great vid here with a great tune that has that feel!

youtube.com/watch?v=UL4eX60i7M­A

[atlanta5321]

BRB GUYS i have 92 disliker to skull fuck

[stargazerchloe]

Happy birthday, Chris!

[JonathanTaylor97]

All my friends are skeletons...

[billyd28709]

This song was inspired by Artis the Spoonman, a street performer from Santa Cruz, California and later Seattle, Washington, who plays music with a set of spoons.

[auburntiger13]

I got tired of grunge, because theirs lots of good music out there right now. Every decade has bad music. Don't expect to find all the good music to be mainstream all the time.

[browma49]

@auburntiger13

What good music right now?

Justin Bieber,Lady Gaga?I dont think so.

[auburntiger13]

@browma49, PJ are my favorite band, and they have been making great music, Radiohead, RHCP, SP, and Weezer are still putting out great music. Also their are many band that are great that aren't real mainstream like the Black Keys, Band Of Horses, Ben Harper, Silversun Pickups, and The White Stripes. I said look outside the mainstream, because their is lots of great music being put out right now.

[auburntiger13]

*many bands

[giesteiraroberto]

@auburntiger13 indeed, plenty good music out there...justin bieber, lady gaga is the music shown by tv radio etc..nowadays you have to look for the good music, but theres still alot of it

[NerdetteTheNinjette]

all my friends are brown and red

[sanitariumcalls]

God... Chris' voice is just... damn. Even after all these years...

[diablogical]

@Laggejoh, what's wrong with sense of hearing son?

[TheRydog100]

So much masturbation innuendo here.

[calroxmysox1]

This song is totally about shooting heroine.

[schwoogie78]

sometimes my poop is brown and red

[arenasefi]

@schwoogie78 did butt-head say that?

[Laggejoh]

I love pearl jam and grundge people told me to check this out. But sucks ffing hard.

[benzieproductions]

@Laggejoh yep. you better go back to gaga. its too bad you have no taste

[ozzy22958869]

@Laggejoh you suck ffinf hard. fuck you dumbass

[MikkelThaUberHomie]

@Laggejoh no, its awesome :)

[PaulC39]

Great fucking song by Soundgarden!! Takes me back to the early 90s and it doesn't sound dated.

[masterdeathify]

Damn, Chris can beat the shit out of those damned spoons.

[zzzzaaarro]

Those 87 fuckheads just committed social suicide.

[SouthTexasKlutch]

we need more viewers!!

[GOCHICAGO5406]

isnt this song about his drug dealer

[ozzy22958869]

@GOCHICAGO5406 who cares if it is or not lol its amazing

[NetherWitch]

Ahh when music had soul. 8)

[seikounder]

i wish i could play spoons like that

[TheWilldude98]

@seikounder lol i would probaly cut my fingers off before i could play like 5 seconds of that spoon part

[TheZero991]

Is that Chuck "the iceman" Liddell as the spoonman? Great song!!!

[xFoxKingX]

@TheZero991 if I remember correctly the 'spoonman' was a guy they met in Seattle.

[TheZero991]

@xFoxKingX o thanks

[zeboy90]

now i know why audioslave also did spoonman! wow i cant believe i dident notice that sooner .-.

[gunganundercover]

LMAO I started drumming with my spoons and singing this song at a fancy restaurant and they got pissed off at me xD I can't stop singing this! 87 people saw that this was 4:20 long so they started smoking and clicked dislike due to being much too high.

[slippy575]

who do u think will win in a fight between plant man and spoon man?

[f1ngers]

Lol! Maynard playing the spoons!

[DanQuijote777]

@f1ngers de pana es maynard james keenan???

[Shorttyarts07]

Chuck Norris once round house kicked a genre, sadly it was grunge

[gearsofwar131]

GRUNGE is not DEAD it's just WAITING!!!

[NoahRodriguezShow]

@gearsofwar131 Grunge isn't dead, it just got really boring and repetitive. Nickelback, anyone?

[gearsofwar131]

@NoahRodriguezShow yeah dude, we just need more talented bands to come out of the underground scene.

[priest0001]

@NoahRodriguezShow

nickelback isnt grunge buddy. not even close.

[NoahRodriguezShow]

@priest0001 Nickelback is overhyped reheated bland and boring coporate rock manufactured to cash in on the grunge craze 19 years after the fact.

[guitarplayer213]

@gearsofwar131 Grunge tried to kill the metal, and they FAILED! And they were thrown to the ground! But in all seriousness, i kinda liked old school grunge, nirvana and pearl jam.

[gearsofwar131]

@guitarplayer213 haha nice tenacious D reference, but in a way it kind of did kill 80's metal and all that shit. I mean some 80's bands were good, but there was just too much glam and glitter involved.

[TriggsxBritian]

@gearsofwar131 I agree 100%

[shazam440]

@gearsofwar131 damn straight

[fortheloveoftunes]

@gearsofwar131 Grunge ma ass it´s only a step back in the seventies ripping Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin stuff go grunge go Lenny Kravitz! .-)

[PallidTempest]

@fortheloveoftunes fuck you. just fuck you. what would the old spice man say?

[TheAMGLover]

@fortheloveoftunes yeah right...a non-believer amongst us , kill'em ! x-) hehe 'j/k'

[ChemblieandCheese]

@gearsofwar131 Oh mi god. Shut up. You have commented the same comment on every video i have watched today.

[gearsofwar131]

@ChemblieandCheese yeah I did all that 4 weeks ago.

[TheMetalyankee]

@gearsofwar131 for what??????

[con10000000000]

i bet matt cameron is a beast on the spoons

[mwells2683]

The fucking Spoonman is SICK. That is an incredible skill!

[Styler1521]

dISlikers .. their hand was going for the like button but the brain is stronger and it wanted to dislike

[PsycoticRetard]

....Browns a colour between orange and black....

[StupidSmartGuy]

@milkshake7656

i stopped caring at "linkin park"

[Lisetta055]

Artis the Spoonman, the guy this song is a tribute to, totally rocks! So good to see they wrote a song about him, and an awesome song at that.

[JimHolland8]

I didn't realize I liked so many Sound Garden songs. Rockers check out some of my stuff.

[JohnnyLovelyOfficial]

SPOOOOOOONMAN lmao

[kjbass1986]

this song is fucking awesome.

[Soundgarden4eva]

Best. Guitar . Riff. Ever. How can you not tap your foot to this?

Seriously, people!

[Matsuda5555]

@Soundgarden4eva I love the guitar don't get me wrong but I tap my foot to the drums mostly

[sulthus]

@Soundgarden4eva Ever bolted your foot to the floor?

[NissanDori]

@sulthus Yeah i was stuck

[Priziner]

@Soundgarden4eva I can name a lot of Ozzy Ozz riffs that knock this out of the water. But for grunge, this is undeniable.

[rawkfist208]

@Soundgarden4eva Because there's not a consistant beat?

[earthboundgoddess94]

Great song. To the people who dislike this video: FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKERS! 

[cashmerestaten]

Drum solo is the best.

[chriscornell4life]

[ibbiggs]

The songs about a guy named "Artis the Spoonman", there are some vidoes of him. Check him out, he's amazing.

[whitedahlia420]

[antraxptpt]

@Sonjoeoe It's about a spoonman. I think a person made of spoons. Or the master of the spoons.

[superkulmedkniv25]

@Sonjoeoe homeless poor people who plays spoons on the streets to make a living

[cottond44]

[themagicdragon1]

@cottond44

Every song is about jerking it, especially Stairway to Heaven.
