Soundgarden "Fopp" Live - 1988

[MamaKat024]

soundgarden doing a great Faith No More

[kc768]

I heard that Green River was a great Seattle band. Since somebody mentioned Kim wearing that shirt. 

[maosaytounge49]

I like Kim's Green River tee

[bassistdave109]

seemingly this is a band that has worked very hard to become famous unlike these fucking bullshit 13 year olds that hit a lucky fucking lottery ticket and become huge in a day, seriously as terrible as this performance might seem listen to the studio version and wonder how else you expect to express sheer ahead of its time brilliancy? this shit is genius man fuck.

[1dabop]

This sucks period..His voice is not suited for this song period..I like soundgarden but this song is ohio players property not a good vehicle for chris to sing...

[larrymyclown]

utter stupidity

[SAXYRIC359]

THIS IS AN OHIO PLAYERS TUNE YA'LL!

[MissusFingerBottom]

i can't stop watching this Chris is so freakin hot here, and he is thrusting!

[TheRealCritique]

real subtle with the shirt coming off....they WERE good. Cornell on his own is poopoo.

[albetty100]

i want to do the brand new thing.

[FortMetallica]

No, Chris sounds more like hot.

[tmekt]

Is it just me or does chris sound little like mick jagger?

[OddManOut13]

@tmekt That is hilarious and I totally agree, during certain parts of the verse anyway..... awesome :)

[OpinioniDi1Vagabondo]

Grazieeeeeee per questo video!!!! Stupendo!!!

[stargazerchloe]

Is it bad that I've studied this and fopp whenever I get the chance to?

[DieHardGardenFan]

Fuck the stanky leg, I'm Fopping!

[SoundgardenPearlJam]

Look how young they all look, and how asian Ben Shepard looks

[Snake8778]

@SoundgardenPearlJam Their first bassist was Hiro Yamamoto until 1989, so yes asian

[SoundgardenPearlJam]

@Snake8778 It was a joke, I'm well aware about Hiro

[SgtBastard101]

Yamamoto is working at the Starbuck's near my house now!

[oasisforever00]

@SgtBastard101 Is it for real man? OMG...poor him...

[SgtBastard101]

@oasisforever00 , Kim was the manager at a Bagel n coffee place in Pike market in Seattle until Soundgarden got back together. Things are tough here in Washington. Like the Gas Huffer album named "Future Janitors" implies,a lot of people from these bands ended up doing jobs like that!

[oasisforever00]

@SgtBastard101 Wow...listening to that had make me feel awful man...haha...It's sounds kinda sad...

[SgtBastard101]

@oasisforever00 its not all sad up here. Barrett Martin from the Screaming Tree's is a Zen Priest now with a very successful art gallery in Seattle!

[oasisforever00]

@SgtBastard101 Hahaha well...that sounds cool. It's amazing how everyone's life have turned out.

[moimoiac]

@oasisforever00 This is Art ok! the video is Art and the cool coment also... Art!

Don t worry be happy! Have fun... enjoy the life!

[moimoiac]

@SgtBastard101 Well! the musicians had no chance! lack talent and virtuosity

[SgtBastard101]

@moimoiac let me guess,you think sweep picking is a viable musical progression?! 

[moimoiac]

@SgtBastard101 HEI man listen the last 10 seconds how they finish one song

ahahahahahah! and the last tune voice eheheh! shit!

[moimoiac]

junkies! not musicians!

[moimoiac]

this is music?

and that man a singer?

no sense of ritme drums or melodie vocals

this is a cheat!

[PosFlow]

@moimoiac lol, like, for real? I'm going to pick the lesser of two evils and just assume you don't know the significance of this video.

[HypeNapungra]

This would have been around the time that Chris & Co. were taking ecstasy before they went onstage.....all of a sudden his dancing and spazzing about onstage makes more sense.....Ha!

[shatchett0]

White boys: Please stop.

[kovalevisgod]

Not too much footage available with Yamamoto on bass. This is pretty cool.

[pirllo09]

Chris rocking those fopp moves!!!

best vocalist in this planet, no doubt!!!

[huevason]

hahahaha wow... this is great.. so.. I think Thayil wears a Greenriver's t-shirt, ain't he? just pure beginnings!!!

[dukeljk]

This is probably more like 86 isn't it?

[jeffarmon]

Is that bass player Yamamoto? It doesn't seem to be him. If it's not, who's that?

[caraozn]

soundgarden é foda!!!

[toadsnmarshmellows]

what the fuck is fopp?

[dukeljk]

@toadsnmarshmellows Fucking

[bigjdawg1]

looks this was recorded at the central tavern in pioneer square. 15 people in the audience. most of them at the bar ordering drinks!

[vonzeke]

@bigjdawg1 I don't remember that painted backdrop at the Central. Did you see them open for The Wipers?

[TheNovanCritics]

Jeez, could Chris be more drunk? Ahaha! I love Soundgarden!

[Radz117]

Chris looks like a little boy high on coke here.

[coslip]

Yes!

One of the best band rock ever seen!

S-O-U-N-D-G-A-R-D-E-N

[Dreamer23245]

@coslip grunge band mate.

[ih8japscraps]

classic!

[vonzeke]

Where was this recorded?

[twistswitch]

Where did all the shirtless rockers go?

[ginghamslut]

In my pantsssssss

[AtotheFwiz]

@twistswitch no the real question is where did all the drugs go?

[funlivelife]

this song always cracks me up.....Chris is sex....

[diandra111]

ha - fopp your way to my doorstep weeee

But of course he's about so much more . . . yes? . . .

[csxt6573]

I'm happy I'm not the only one who gets a laugh out of this song!

[1embletina]

i like how his shorts r really tight :)

[ABTE67]

ROCK `N ROLL

[rtscott2001]

Ohio players cover... no way.... right on!!!! Soundgarden!!! Cornell gives Sugarfoot's distinctive voice a good shot....

[unleashed2rage]

one of my favorite of soundgarden's songs (including the Fucked up heavy dub remix)

[ramiroortega1991]

Wow, I don't know about you guys, but I sensed a sort of Robert Plant meets Mark Arm kind of vibe from Chris Cornell on this video, not only in the way he's dressed, but the way he moves as well. Excellent performance.

Glad to see Hiro on this one. He was a mean bassist, although I prefer Ben for Soundgarden, Hiro was a great addition to Soundgarden.

[bynoon3]

Well done,this is a surprise,can't touch the Ohio's but interesting anyway.Cheers

[Coldacre]

of course the Ohio's is a better version. but for a Seattle band in 1988 to cover a song like this! only Soundgarden could do it.

[tonyskins19]

ohio players original version is way better than this

[valicia666]

You are a wonderful human being for posting this. May you be blessed with happiness and multiple orgasms for all of your days. Thank you.

[skydog69zoso]

WHAT A VOICE !

the led zeppelin of the 90's

[metallybenj]

hey, it's from the Hiro days, I've never seen and videos with Hiro on bass before, thanks for the upload

[cpHiJet]

i like this song , is great

[templeofcoy]

fopp is the worst SG/ Cornell album, by very very far. Nothing like the rest.

[Poopy003]

fuck you and yur mother three times

[dieterderblau]

Welcome to an EARLY sound... Now go home.

[boggie91]

Awesooomeeee! Love Kim's playin'

Thanks so much for posting!

[FullMetalAngel182]

Thanks for uploading! Classic SG... I wish I was alive then for this concert.

And Cornell's moves in the first two minutes are hilarious =] The shirt doesn't stay on for long aye.

[BongOfCthulhu]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

[DKCandyKolibri]

Lol awesome! This song rocks! Haha Chris in 1:38! I love his moves!

[ThoughtScientist]

you know this vid is from way back when hiro's in it

[anticomercial93]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!­

[tonyskins19]

check out the original version out by the ohio players

[foolover92]

this HAS to be way earlier than '88....

[wdeboer0]

Wow, that's a very young Chris. And I love this song!

[dukeljk]

this has to be much earlier than 88 probably like 85 - 86

[gustavv1988]

i prefer..: fopp/party on your pussy/red hot mama.... rhcp... full groove full felling!!! is better!!!

[grungeera]

did soundgarden cover party on your pussy?

[ugar]

aaaaahhhhhh!unbelievable! FOPPP!!!! these were Soundgarden at the beginning!

[stopthrm]

HIRO!

[itswhip]

Hiro went on to form the band Truly. They weren't really that bad either. I'm not sure why he left Soundgarden--some disagreement I guess. Tho Hiro wrote and co-wrote a lot of the early tunes we love and I just found this tidbit on wikipedia:

The lyrics of the Soundgarden song "I Awake" were originally part of a note by Yamamoto's then-girlfriend Kate McDonald.

I always sort of wondered about the lyrics of that song too LoL.

[SoundgardenReunion]

ya, haha Chris stumbled upon that note and used it to write that song, hahaha awesome!

[wilhelmizer]

wow awesome footage of hiro

[holenaap]

WOW funky! cool good yeh

[onlytheawesomest]

i love this song and i love chris cornell!! omg!

[Gwenwhyfer]

ME TOO!

[onlytheawesomest]

how did u get this video?

[buckwheat1990]

great moment in sg history!

[ofot1]

heh! nice :) funky led zep. why did hiro yamomoto quit soundgarden by the way? cool guy...

[FullMetalAngel182]

i think hiro quit cuz he needed to go to college

[eannelayomay]

You gotta wonder if he was kickin' himself by the time SG went to the Grammys. But, you know, their were so many bands starting up in Seattle (I was in 2) and I had to complete college at the same time (UW) because you needed some career guarantees. Too bad he didn't do both, but the next bassist was cool!!

[FullMetalAngel182]

haha yeah he probably was kicking himself when soundgarden got big time. i wonder what subject he did at college? and whether chris cornell ever talked to him after he quit sg?

[vironfletcher]

i heard he was studying philosophy with kim and hiro decided to go on studying, that's what i konw
