Limo Wreck Live

[AmbassadorKong]

Chris said it's Sabbath influenced, but I've always thoughts it sounded pretty Doors-y to me. It's both actually. I fucking love soundgarden...

[Valentys2011]

I remember an interview with Chris,(I think it was on MTV 1994) he talked 'bout this great song and he said somethin' like "it's one of my fav songs from superunknown cos it's very influenced of my fav band Black Sabbath(...)we tried to make something so dark, so raw, and the result was this song, yeh"

[Fakename70]

Hmm...

So, who's gonna be the 1st prick to dislike this clip?

[TheStimpyf]

thanks for upload this, I looked for a live version of this a lot over the years. :)

[wengrunge]

soundgarden es la mejor banda de la historia lejos

[pearljamporch]

can somebody tell me what tuning are they using in this song?

[samsael]

@pearljamporch Hi! They're playing in open C.

Cheers!

[pearljamporch]

@samsael is it the same tuning used in Head Down and Pretty Noose?

[samsael]

@pearljamporch I can't tell for Pretty Noose, but the tunning used for Head down is quite different from the tunning used for Limo Wreck. Here's the tunning:

Head down (from low to high): C-G-C-G-G-E

Limo Wreck (from low to high): C-G-D-G-B-E

Almost identical... don't you think?

[pearljamporch]

@samsael oh thank you, I nailed Limo Wreck today on the guitar, very fun to play... those harmonics are very mezmerizing don't you think? ..and yeah, well you didn't asked but Head Down, Pretty Noose and Burden In My Hand are in the same tuning

[samsael]

@pearljamporch Heres the tunning (from low to high) CGDGBE

Hope it helps you.

[Kronik2g2]

Kim Thayil Rocks...I think his guitar loves him more than how he loves his guitar just for the way he plays it.

[Nucleozoid]

Someone may have already answered this somewhere in the last hundred comments, but where was this recorded? I saw them on this tour at the Armory in NYC, june '94. The air conditioning system broke in the venue and it was like 120 degrees in there - almost intolerable. The played great despite that and I remember going completely nuts during Rusty Cage, Jesus Christ Pose and Superunknown - great memory, wish I could see them again.

[NicholasJohn10]

HOLLY SHIT ! Im still cant believe the power of Chris(t) Cornell, BEST SINGER EVER!

[carouselcarouse]

Simply one of the best voices ever in rock

[ricki25life]

leyendas ...vivas ...

[alonsh4]

this is so unfair....i soooo grew up in the wrong country.....

[schumatrix]

@alonsh4 I grew up in the wrong decade. TO HAVE BEEN BORN TEN YEARS EARLIER THAN I WAS!!!

[adam79adam79]

best sg song

[dredotcom25]

Jesus CHRIST i love this song...

[llamasarus1]

i predict that there will be a rock revelution in a decade. the first since the beatles. And right then better music will be released. either that or itll get worse and rap and pop will evolve into something much bigger and worse.

[bcancun123]

@llamasarus1 hope im alive to see it

[italianstallion30]

One of my favorite SG songs.

[golyz]

year?

[MrHopeTelevision]

Ahhh - Chris Cornell when he was cool :D

[freakyfirefaerie]

well you certainly do learn something new everyday! i never noticed Matt Cameron plays drums in Soundgarden too!

[dylanja09]

@freakyfirefaerie Matt was always the drummer

[omegalen]

@freakyfirefaerie lol

[ILikeWafflz]

I look up these videos for the sole purpose of catching some of Matt's drumming, but I get so disappointed that EVERY ONE of them focuses on Matt for no more than 15 seconds throughout the whole thing. And he's the most fun to watch too.

[italianstallion30]

@ILikeWafflz It's all about Cornell. Sorry man. haha

[SummerDrive]

What a voice. Awesome song. Hope to see this song live in the near future.

[omegalen]

@SummerDrive well, they did beyond the wheel @ the showbox, but this one...

i wouldn't bet on it.

or who am i kidding.. it's chris cornell ;D.

i'm sure he could pull it off !

[lawrenze13]

modern day black sabbath

[Andymalcolm1]

@lawrenze13 I love Black Sabbath and Soundgarden...rock and metal legends

[evilagent]

While the rest of you harvest the gold!!! While the rest of you harvest the souls!!!

[czech698]

God has cleverly arranged it so that my income tax is due one day before my birthday. Thus I start off each fiscal and mortal year flat broke and apprehensive. My financial balance sheet is red, my moral state black. If it were up to me, I would never reduce to figures the sorry state of my bankroll, but there seems to be no escape from the government

[BRIANPERKINS100]

ummmm yeah.

[drebinable]

I love the 5/4

[metalfan8]

@drebinable

isn't that a 3/8?

[bobshenix]

Godly

[securitysystem]

For me the best song from soundgarden and one of my personal top10 ever. I cant imagine how often I listend to this and it always gives me a shiver

[evilnerdap]

DAMN RIGHT!

[theenigmajjames]

read the album notes friends...Chris wrote the lyrics..and Kim and Chris the music

[No1Zero]

Um ladies and gentleman, the lyrics were written by Chris.

[nerotoukamaterou]

This song sends chills down my soul.

[ktrel54]

4th of July does that for me

[evilnerdap]

cold bitch, limo wreck and 4th of july are my absolute favs since '94...

[javiercamafeo]

one of my favourite songs ever

[oreganospy2]

the song was written by Matt Cameron

[XXjConXX]

and kim, but matt has always written some of my absolute favorite garden sonds

[miguee86]

awesome song

[XXjConXX]

favorite lyrics ever

[musclegas]

i always fall asleep to this song. elevating...

[maxismx]

Overfloater, head down and mind riot are very deeps as well as this one

[sjbeverley]

Immense song, immense album, this shit will never die !!!

[eelwj]

fucking legendary album! Listen to him sing in the chorus fantastic!

[nomaanimal]

My favorite song of Soundgarden.

One of best songs from 90

[devray]

i agree - one of the best songs on this amazing album

[offthetop0]

legend album

[froibaad1]

One of the best Soundgarden's songs

[MrDawsonsean1]

Such a great songwriter........

[funlivelife]

This song was written by Kim Thayil unlike other songs which Chris wrote

[XXjConXX]

and Matt Cameron

[iseeu1980]

The main riff in this song reminds me a little bit of Mastodon's "Sleeping Giant".

Awesome song....

[Tomdawg89]

Blood Mountain is fucking great, I can see a slight resemblance with this riff and Sleeping Giant.

[Darkkorners]

When the whole thing washes away dont run to me...

[Chiboy00]

hands down my fav song off the album! and Matt wrote it!! hey it's better than Cropduster...

[Lockhelm123456]

best song in superunknown album

[kubrickfan21]

the guitar just gives me chills in this song.

[chaka178]

Somebody noticed that in this show they only played Superunknown songs. Why?

[lucyzebra51]

Garageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee porra!!!

[luisalmirantebrown]

greaaat song !

[fonkyjunkie]

this one is simply brillant... everytimes i listen to it, it makes think of Zeppelin...

[7d7e7f7]

Extremely underrated Soundgarden song, the last 2 minutes are brilliant.

[luismarianosh]

like suicide too

[SuperDecarlos]

i love the guitar intro too

[Lunacyk]

If this band EVER reunited, people would, I believe for the first time in recorded human history, do the very first global Simul-Crapping of their pants! I have a vision...this must happen lol

[chilil57]

HAHA!! Soo true!!

[bobshenix]

I've always felt the same way... I'm dying for it to happen but Chris doesn't seem like hes having it unfortunately. Hate to say it but I think he's kinda sold out a bit, i dont think the guys (Soundgarden) really stay in touch at all. sad really...

[CynicalSolo23]

Well I guess we'll see now that they ARE back together. ; )

[paul258o]

yeah, but Cornell's voice is not the same live. where did those harmonies-chords come from. musical minds I guess. God-gifted

[XXjConXX]

the lyrics are incredible on this song

[temporaryacc0unt]

i wish someone would post fresh tendrils live

[sackingswin]

Damn Soundgarden was amazing. I love this track. All of Superunknown blows me away to this day.

[jasonwaynesummers]

This album is so incredible, best of the 90's!

[kramerspadowskiki]

i love soundgarden too but come on nevermind achtung baby the bends ok computer bssm and californication we're all better

[KablesP]

Hahaha theres no way californication even compares to superunknown. Sure theyre totally different bands and shouldnt even be compared in the first place but music wise Superunknown is almost untouchable.

[kramerspadowskiki]

ok maybe not but the other ones i listed are better but soundgarden rock im just saying

[Radz117]

Blood Sugar Sex Magik should be the comparison;)

[XXjConXX]

haha U2 better than soundgarden in any way, shape, or form? haha fuck no

[kramerspadowskiki]

you soundlike a drugged up metal head dude u2 is legendary while soundgarden is great

[XXjConXX]

U2 made some classic albums that im not really a fanof but can still acknowledge. but even though they do have some songs i can enjoyably listen to theyre quite annoying, and im not even considering the whole "bono being an asshole" factor but come on, have u heard the song vertigo?? thats the epitome of irritating pop rock.

[kramerspadowskiki]

i hate when people automatically assume bonos a bad guy hes a good guy not superman but an ok guy and yeah vertigo is pretty generic but ive listened to that wholw album and their is som great songs on it i think u2 and soundgareden are 2 very different bands that both did alot for music i just leave it at that

[DavidsonTFP]

I like U2 and I listen to them. They're really influential and have been for the past twenty or more years. They got the mainstream appeal and never left the spotlight since they got in it, but that's it. I feel that Soundgarden was more talented than them.

Oh, and Californication was lame as far as I'm concerned. It was good for a RHCP comeback album, but they're best stuff is BSSM and before to their funk days.

I don't really listen to Radiohead much, I can only tolerate their hits.

[Soundgardener80]

All I can say is i bought superunknown thirteen years back and it still blows my mind to this day the more you listen the better it gets

[schism206]

word. this would be one of my "alone on a desert island what CD do u want" albums.

[demiusza]

@Soundgardener80 Agreed - I never seem to tire of it.

[IanWebster81]

@Soundgardener80 Best album of the 90's by far. It always puts me in a trance, especially this song and "Like Suicide".

[RebornLayneStaley]

@Soundgardener80 Yeah me too dude.... One of the very best albums ever. Fell On Black Days is my favorite song ever but the whole cd is a complete masterpiece.

[dweezil2104]

dude when and where was this recorded??? Awesome performance by one of the best bands ever!!

[Noobel24]

In my opinion the best song on the Superunknown album.

[JLDoggard]

I agree Noobel24, I agree 100%

[leert123]

kim goes crazy on this song thats cool, he is a great guitarist, along with cornell

[drunkenstern]

too heavanly blind

[Gblessi]

This song is awesome

[alexmelch]

Great!!! Wonderful!!! This is where Matt never should have gone out!!!

[ninjachipzanuff]

really odd that they'd close the show with such an ominous song...

[DrumminQuinn]

i cant believe cornell was able to sing that song live...and it was the LAST song at the show? the mans a freak! i mean that in the best way possible.

[damiangarden]

what an amazing song!,one of my favourites.

[rriffrraff]

enne ik heb ze 3 keer gezien

[rriffrraff]

lots of creepie memories are creeping back in when i hear this ,mad but great times

[zythry]

kim looks fat XD

[ferlmds07]

FUCK YEAAAAAAAAH!

I love this song,

and it's the first Live version i've ever seen!,

i was just 4 when they recorded this..

plus i live in Argentina...

:(

Fu** me :(

at least i have this videos..

[JoeSidhu]

That's the same shirt he wore in the Black Hole Sun music vid. :D

His hair looks sorta weird here.

[MarkNotMe]

It is a about a limo! In a 1995 interview Chris made clear that the inspiration for the song lyrics came to him when he saw a limo thrashed on a offroad somewhere, and he thought about the unvencible feeling that whoever owns a limo may feel, writing the lyrics about how deceitful that is... but he might have joked... I think it is about how fake and frail the feeling of power can be.

[pantera1414]

no one really knows what this song is about some people have said that its about the apocalypse and our own demise and some people have said that its about how we're using up everything around us and our responsible for our own imminent extinction but who really knows.........................­... it could even be about a limo wreck.......

[EleanorMitrari]

can anybody tell me what is this song about?

information for my thesis, please!

[ninjachipzanuff]

princess diana

[DiosCuervo]

BEST BAND EVER... rock dies a little when Soundgarden breaks... =(

I miss those guys...

[MarkNotMe]

Eerie song, creepy riff, scary lyrics. An outstanding job by Soundgarden, not a doubt. Love it!

[FARIN1992]

love soundgarden but chris is faking here!

[babayaga77]

best song of not-early soundgarden

scarying

[babayaga77]

i love kim thayil

[introvertical71]

nutty cats.

[fanofkasey]

If you wanna hear soundgarden at it's best check out hands all over and birth ritual

[Dandees]

I just love this song, thanks for the vid...

Brilliant performance.

[sergionano1]

kim were you at!

[fighttyler]

i love the end...badass song badass cornell and thayil, i fucking hate the fact that i was 6 in '94 but this is just an insane song it gives u this hopeless feeling and u're guided through it by cornell's unique and powerful voice

[marsiozo]

hehe I doint want to rub it in, but in '94 I was about 18 , and saw them on Lowlands festival in the Netherlands...

I was high on LSD....was a great performance...they even played the Doors' Waiting for the sun

[soundgarden86]

hahah

gozer ik ben zo fucking jaloers op jou !!

ik ben nu dan 20 in 2008

ik had hun zo graag wille zien!!

[ChristopherStraub]

A soundscape. Hits you square on in the face and just keeps coming. Sweet.

[rajuas]

i just can't vote for only one best soundgarden song, i'll be going crazy,

[brownztone]

5 million stars

[NME38]

Chris Cornell's voice is god like here like it usually is. This song is easily one of their best if not the best Soundgarden made.

[Tomdawg89]

One of my favourites by Soundgarden as well. It's all about that killer riff! And the sound just drones on and on. Sound like....the impending doom or something.

[broon27]

I'm the wreck of you!!!!

Brilliant!

[CMGrunge]

fucking amazing

[JazzBassDude]

Awsome!

[Audioslave3]

Simply great!

[Quinnpie]

Amazing performance!

To everyone who says Cornell can't sing live - F*@K YOU! His voice is incredible here!

[Tomdawg89]

While the rest of you harvest the souls!

[689ADAM]

the crazy grunge era..I was in high school,when all this was happening. Good times.

[evilnerdap]

fuck thanx for this!!!!!

[MindFuLL]

thanks I can't wait to hear Mailman and Superunknown. Did they do 4th of July too?

[timekillerinhere]

No , 4th of july was played in 95 and in one or two shows in 96 but never in 94

[jucabe]

[samsael]

[Vitalogy7]

[ralbon]

Awesome, I've been dying to hear this live!
