  • tad got down on spoonman, wish there was a real track in clean audio to him doing this cover

  • This dude is just shitting the words out of his mouth,

  • tad dont need to apologize for shit

  • tom morello!!!

  • By the way Ben or Tom alone could have sung it much better..

  • Well the soundgarden guys badly needed a reunion and they knew Cornell would never join. So they played this emotional blackmail on him saying "If you don't come back, all the songs you wrote will be sung by this 'thing'" ... lol ... and see the result .... he came back ....

  • The whole Sub Pop/CZ/Grunge thing started as a lampoon of the Rock God celebrity '80's glitz mindset. It was a put on,kinda ironic humor.Tad Doyle had really funny stage patter back then.In 1989 TAD was the pony Sub Pop were betting on.Gods Balls and Salt Lick to me stand the test of time.Don't make me post an audio compilation of live Tad Doyle stage humor 'cause so help me God I'll do it.

  • EAT THE BURGER WITH YO HAND! EAT THE FRENCHFRIES WHILE YOU CAN! FAT MAN! Im sorry I just had to, lol.

  • FUCK YOU ALL: TAD RULES!!!!!

  • FUCK YOU ALL: TAD RULES!!!!!

  • TAD is awesome, but i think he's trying to be obnoxious on purpose, it is GRUNGE after all... listen to TAD - Leafy incline or 3D witch hunt, TAD sings quite well in those songs, he obviously isnt going to hit the high notes chris cornell hits so he went in the opposite direction, loud, grungey, he's there to rock not to entertain

  • Don't hate on Tad Doyle and don't hate on Chris Cornell.

  • TAD is fuckin' awesome...but this doesn't work

  • The only way that anyone could say that this guy has any Cornell in him would be if he ate Cornell

  • this fat fuk is a joke

    

  • this is so hilarious.

  • They're clearly trying to provoke Chris into coming back by having this 300 lb 5 foot tall singing tumor butcher his vocals.

    I think the heavy, popular bands of the 90's are finally seeing the damage their departure did to the music business for the rest of us that grew up on them, went to take our shot at it and found the door slammed in our faces then tightly bolted shut.

    I would rather listen to Justin Bieber sing for them than this guy :(

  • @JonDeth Speaking of heavy bands of the '90s, you obviously are missing some of the most important ones. Tad was THE heavy band of grunge, and as much as Soundgarden rocked Tad matched with more ferocity. Even Kim Thayil says that (check the Busted Circuits Ringing Ears documentary). Soundgarded wanted Tad to open for them on their world tour back in '94.

  • @albertdatino2 Then what the hell happened to his voice, it's dreadful!

    He also doesn't look like he would survive a year long national tour. It seems to me that the legend is just that, legend.

    Stage presence just doesn't compete with the power of soulful music, 10 million shredders on youtube prove exactly that.

  • @JonDeth As far as the legend goes, again, check the documentary Busted Circuits Ringing Ears and you will see Tad's headlining European tour with Nirvana and their world tour with Soundgarden. He survived several year long tours. I'm not trying to be "Tad is God" and get into a flame war, it's just that you stated that Tad is a "tumor" when I believe his importance in the Seattle scene and following grunge movement warrant his deserving of a better moniker.

  • @albertdatino2 you sound like one of these union guys, I HATE the union. Worst thing that ever happened to this country. You see the unions developed these communist societies where basically a guy that does 1/3 the amount of work at half the quality of the non union guy still gets the job.

    Based on Tad's terrible voice and stage presence, I boldly disagree.

    Whatever it is that earned him this reputation, it definitely isn't the quality of his voice and music.

    He's a polished turd.

  • @JonDeth Your ad hominem argument on what I am belies your lack of understanding of the issue at hand. Tad made it due to the heaviness of their music and their stage personas of large and intimidating rednecks, not merely to a pretty voice or frontman. In the eyes of Sub Pop, their fans, and their fellow musicians, Tad succeeded purely through hard work and their ability to rock. They needed no polish. Their music had much less production than Soundgarden or Pearl Jam, it wasn't their style.

  • @albertdatino2 You're an asshole and I have no lack of understanding, the guy SUCKS. His voice is absolutely terrible. If you like to eat out of a dumpster, go right ahead I won't try to stop you but don't try to convince me it's delicious and persuade me to join you because it's not going to happen.

    He should be banned not IN a band.

  • Insult of the original song...

  • Couldn't they get a better singer???!!

  • hard case,what a laugh.........but what is worse-this or soungarden releasing their music on a fucking video game

  • haha the name is so cute.

    But come on Cornell has the voice of THe rock god. He is The Rock God. I guess this is what it feels like to be a RATM fan watching Audioslave play Killing In The Name Of. But hey I'm not gonna hate. I just prefer Chris, because he sings better Chris being a freakin' hottie also doesn't hurt. So glad they have reunited!

  • Chris Farley on vocals.

  • Fuck Cornell huh? Yeah right. Now that they reunited all I can hear is Cornell is god!!!

  • WTF!!!! VOCALS ARE HORRIBLE!

  • Tad's new doom metal band "Brothers of the Sonic Cloth" is freaking awesome. Just an FYI.

  • This is one horrible singer!

  • WTF is this crap?

  • oh no! it's Fat Bastard! seriously, i wanna hit that guy w/ a baseball bat in the head. what a fucker.

  • that big fat fuck needs to shut his mouth!!! aaaaggghhhh!!!

  • Fat bastard will explode if he keeps singing like that

  • i seriusly want to kick the guys ass that said fuck cornell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fuckin dick squeezer

  • Holy shit..... spoonman tortured get that fat fucker off the stage bahahahaha

  • This is a pathetic attempt by an obese mediocre singer. Just terrible. And I hope that guy who shouted "Fuck Cornell!" gets squashed by this fat bastard.

  • @ljestabillo This is actually a pretty cool video for fans of the grunge movement. This is Tad Doyle from the band Tad - which was one first grunge bands. They didn't receive much commercial success but was known for having a more metal background opposed to their punk influenced peers. ANYWAY, yeah he can't touch cornell's range, or talent lol. But it's cool to see this collaboration - as a grunge fan.

  • damn cameron is solid

  • lol epic

  • Tad is the man... unfortunately he's attempting to sing a song that requires a High Voice which isn't tad's style

  • this tad guy ruined it

  • idc tht cornell isnt singing, its just tht tad sounds like he's throwing up the lyrics

  • this is so badass.

    its ridiculous. I LOVE THIS

  • Tad, not the greatest singer on the planet, obviously, but you know what, this guy did a lot for the music scene and though I dont like his band or his vocals, well, its simple, RESPECT. Period. You people dishing the hate on the guy, get a grip and know that the jam was a fun thing for all who were there. Besides, it brought 75% of Soundgarden to the stage for a jam. Now , thats never a bad thing. Ease up on the dissing and be thinking how cool it is that this band is going to reform

    Cheers

  • well said humble

  • Matt must be in SoundGarden and Dave Abbruzzese in Pearl Jam...everything in it's right place!!

  • tad is awesome! def not the best singer but for people that don't know who he is, he is the frontman for the band called TAD which was one of the first many grunge bands, they had more of a metal influence then the punk like most grunge bands, nirvana toured a lot with tad, now adays tad is doing other projects with memebers of mudhoney and screaming trees

  • Tad = absolutely no talent whatsoever. I am not buying his nonchalant crap. He's fat, lazy, and a freakin loser. Anyone can scream in the mic like a farmer screaming suey to the pigs. Get off the stage TAD!

  • I LOVE Soundgarden.

    I LOVE TAD.

    I HATE "Spoonman". It has to be thee worst Soundgarden song of all time...

    To all you haters... TAD is not trying to be the singer that Cornell was. Even Cornell can't do Cornell anymore...

  • i saw cornell this past year, he sounds fucking awesome. definitely not 1992 anymore but he can hit those high notes again.

    but agree with you on spoonman, although its still better than most songs out there for sg its weak. i feel like on superunknown they already covered that type of rock song with "let me drown"

  • @sunflowerspoon nah, its very rhythmic, with clever lyrics that actually have a nice double meaning, its not nearly as bad as some of their earlier stuff, on that album, it was one of the worst, although half was right there with it, as just some novelty song that lost all meaning after the 1st or second listen to

  • @Shepherd492 As bad as their earlier stuff? The fuck?

  • @ILiveInMomsBasement dont get me wrong, i love SOME of their earlier stuff, nothing to say, beyond the wheel, gun, prob 2 or 3 more, all kind of resemble what would later be the great soundgarden from 91-97, too much of it though just had raw production value, bleh lyrics, and too much of an 80s feel

  • @sunflowerspoon cornell can still sing! and its not tht tad isnt good, its just tht he sucks monkey fuck at this song

  • is that Tom Morello???

  • yes it is

  • WHERE IS CHRIS?! OTHER THIS WOULD BE THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. CHRIS CORNELL'S TWO MOST FAUMOUS TREES COMING TOGETHER HOLLY SHIT. We Just Need Chris, Timmy, and Brad in there OMFG

  • Well. Looks like Cornell didn't loose his job on this one.

  • Someone tell me who the heck is this TAD guy!

  • This Tad guy was probably the worst singer I've ever heard.  Props to everyone else.

  • He SUCKS!

  • Damn, the band still sounds nice and tight. We just need Cornell. I mean I give Tad credit for trying and all but his vocal range dont even come close to Cornells'.

  • Tom has played more with the members of Soundgarden than Soundgarden...weird, man.

  • saveee meeeeeeeeeee! :D

  • @organizationkiller these guys haven't played together in 13 years and had little to no rehearsal for this show, not to mentioned it is probably filmed with an iphone. of course the audio is going to be crap. not too bad considering.

  • hahahahaa !!! my 9 years old nephew's band plays this song better !! hahaha !! nahh just kidding but Cornell looks so finished... with that fatty thing he's loading. And his voice OMG hahaha.!!! Seriously, I wouldn't have paid for this stupid boring shit !! it's amazing that the audience actually clapped and scream !! I would have thrown a pee-bag to that scum fat bastard. They had better play at someone's house courtyard or something.

  • @huevason

    Please tell me you're joking. If Soundgarden get back together - they will bring so much back to music that is missing....

  • @Funkubicth

    Well man... I'm not against the musicians ! they rock even after 12 years of being out of business, but that Fat Tad..... maybe tom morello sings better man.

  • @huevason

    Dude - my mistake - I thought that you thought that Tad WAS Cornell.

  • Tad is no good here even for the fun of it. Should've brought Billy Milano though he's not a fan of grunge I believe :) Anyway nice news for SG reunion.

  • aw man the comedy of this show was the fun of it, jus havin fun wth the general vibe of the music, Tad knew he sucked, lol

  • glad to see thayil hasent cut his hair off

  • I've heard cover bands that blow this out of the water...I'm talking about the actual music, I don't care about the vocals. It just plain out sounds like shit. I really have no hope for this up-coming actual reunion.

  • @organizationkiller you gotta be the dumbest guy here...do you SEE where the video camera is? the sound from that standpoint would never sound as it should...they played it spot on! except for the singer of course!! oh my!!! hahaha

  • Are you kidding me? Explain yourself. How does the music sound like shit? You know this was probably taken with a digital camera right? The only thing that can really be heard well is Cameron's drums .. are you questioning MC drumming? haha

  • a reunion is what the fans made of it, all the band needs to do is get the sound right, KEEP IT DURTY AND STANKIN!! that was grunge...

  • @organizationkiller did u see showbox? because they sound fine

  • I could only watch until 1:41

    The band rocks...

    Fat Tad not so much...

  • whose this fat fuck? chris cornell rapes him!

  • i really like tad doyle but hes not good for this song and his performance is pretty terrible compared to chris'

  • Funny vocals =D

  • that guy who said f cornell sucks....and the crowd got real quiet

  • Fuck Cornell?!? If it wasn't for Chris Cornell, this song would not exist! He wrote Spoonman along with about 75% if not more of all other Soundgarden material. I don't care what you think about the music he's making now. It doesn't change a goddamn thing about what he did with this band. Show some fucking respect.

  • @maynx I think we can all agree he IS making pretty shitty music right now, though :)

  • @maynx

    Hell yeah, tell 'em as it is...

  • @maynx ... and Cornell was also the original drummer in Soundgarden....

  • @maynx Valid point, BUT he is kind of a douchebag for quitting Audioslave and performing their songs AND soundgarden songs at his "solo" shows when he should just stick to ONE band and THE band that wrote the music he is singing. And its obvious the ONLY reason he reunited with the old members of SOUNDGARDEN was because his solo material is just terrible. Chris Cornell is ONLY good when he is working with talented people, then hes unstoppable.

  • Kim Thayil is a beast!  Ben Shephard is the king of freaky bass lines

  • i don't know who this tad fellow is...but i don't like him

  • Sayn fuck Chris Cornell. tad can suck it he totally ruined spoonman. Soundgarden isnt whole without chris but they still soung great I have to say

  • Tad = :)

    Soundgarden = :)

    Tad + Soundgarden = :D

    Tad + Soundgarden + Spoonman = D:

  • Soundgarden + Cornell = better

  • @TheWoW12424 No kidding!

  • my thoughts exactly

  • didnt realize tom morello was playin with them here. pretty cool

  • FUCK TAD!!!!!!! Soundgarden FOREVER!

  • kim thayil can STILL solo like a motherfucker!!!

  • Tad ruins this version.. Cornell forever. tad reminds me of Fat Bastard

  • Get in my belly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I fucking hate Tad. Die Die Die Die Die motherfucker

  • TAAAD!

    hahaha

  • grunge lives again.

  • it sounds like louie anderson doing drunk karaoke. yknow..... in a good way.

  • this is brutal

  • Tad may be a quote unquote legend(I"ve written this way for effect) but he sounds like shit on this song. It isn't his fault no one other than cornell can go that high into the nosebleed section

  • Dude it's Tad. He was in a grunge pioneering band.

    He doesn't have to sing good for it to be good. That's kinda what the whole sub>pop scene was about. It's all about jamming. You Cornell would like this.

  • F**k Cornell :F and TAD rocks!

  • Thayil and Morello are great! drums rock too.. shame the vocals ruin it.

  • You just don't get it,and whats weight got to do with it.

  • Wow i grew up with soundgarden my fav band got me through some hard times best money spent ever by this crowd.......nothing good lasts forever

  • grunge wasnt just how they dressed, its how the music sounds. fuck cornell TAD RULES

  • omfg... that guy 'singing' was bad enough, but him screaming like a pig during Thayil's solo :/

    Cameron, Thayil & Shepherd sound excellent though!

  • Thats Tad,he's a Fucking Legend.

  • so is michael bolton and he blows too

  • Maybe to a poser like you.

  • what the hell does that mean?

  • I am going to do the lamest thing I know, and I will wrote a quote from the video as a comment.

    "FUCK CORNELL!!!" 0:35

    I couldn't agree more man.

  • RNRDOLL your comment kicks ass

  • Matt, Benny and Kim are still awesome, Tom alongside. They could possibly find a young clean powerful vocal having less ambitions than Chris. But I love them anyway.

  • i don't think having cornell back on soundgarden would be a good idea. the reason that they broke up is cornell wanted to turn soundgarden more pop and kim didn't let him. so they broke up. kinda explains cornell making shitty pop albums. so cornell reforming soundgarden, bad idea

  • Wow, it's Peter Griffin-Garden.

  • holy shit, no kidding, those four fuckers couldn't have found someone better than that to sing those classics? that's blasphemy, if you are some friends jamming on some songs you know you should do that at a show that no one goes to, or your practice space, not a fucking show like this. lame as fuck.

  • TOM!! That is really cool. TAD-GARDEN RULES!!

  • The drums, guitars and bass sound so great....

  • I think tad has a cool name..he sounds like the kid in middle school that calls people butthead all the time

  • I think this is an idea of Morello--so Cornell watchs it and decide to reunite the real Soundgarden..the world needs a comeback of SOUNDGARDEN!

  • wow. just the idea of tom morello and kim thayil up on stage together made me jizz my pants.

    And for them to actually do it, FUCKING SICK!!!

  • All you people talking bad are lame.

  • you know i dunno who tad doyle is, but i dont wanna say he's a bad singer coz hes fat, the point is post the 4:09 mark his vocals are crass, absolute crass!!!

    The fact that Tom Morello and Kim Thayil are on the stage makes me appreciate this vid. TWO ABSOLUTE LEGENDS and quite underrated, especially Thayil.

    But the worse part is that we have this awesome super line up and no Cornell and that makes all us SG fans clench our fist in despair and just say .......F*CK!! WHERE ARE YOU CHRIS??!!

  • what the fuck is this?!?

  • sounds like a little lizard is singing spoonman in tad's throat... its like some sort of trick to get chris back, out of pity no?

  • sure man no doubt, its like someone is killing a pig

  • Comment removed

  • OMG, this is self distruction ryt here, i mean i can sing the song better than this FAT BASTARD!!! God Damn wats happening nowdadys is not positive at all, Rage Against The Machine are long gone and now this???

  • faggot!

  • He sounds like the squealing pig he looks like. And whoever in the crowd yelled Fuck Cornell can die.

  • This makes me feel as good as I did the first time I saw Cornell, McCready, Vedder, Cameron, Gossard, Ament on that beach singing Hunger Strike all those years ago. This is "Justice" and ultimate slap in the face from Morello and Tad isn't "old school Cornell" but he's the best "ANTI-Current Chris 'Scream' Cornell" they could find. Please no reunion of any kind just to cash in. This makes me happy still sad though the direction Cornell has taken the last 10 plus years. Mostly in his solo career

  • Fuck Yeah, TAD Doyle he's a legend to bad the band split

  • Tom, Ben, Matt and Kim is truly a wonderful combination.

  • Damn its good to see Kim finally playing some music again. Wish he was as active as Matt and Shepard.

  • I really dont know what to think about these vocals...

  • Thail is amazing. SG is one of the best ever, thanks for the best hard rock music ever.

  • ala mierda qe askeroso! nadie le podia haber kitado el microfono a ese pendejo..

    Lo peor esqe parece qe no se oye qe psa qe su masa corporal no le permite oir una mierda o qe?

    No se como se lllama el conxasumare ese ni me importa pero CANTAS COMO EL CULO! y el publico debia de estar demasiado drogado para encima corear a ese jo puta.. POR EL BIEN DE TODOS QE VUELVA CORNELL!!

    pd: youtube censurar esste viideo.

  • jajajajajajajajjajajajjajajaja­jajjjajaaja

    jajajajajajajajajjjjaja

  • I guess it can wake up some feelings inside Mr. Cornell and his bandmates... maybe this not-soundgarden can make a real union of the real soundgarden... for while, it's a good jam.

    [impossible not imagine Mr.very fucking good Cornell on vocals. It would be great]

  • Nobody said this WAS Soundgarden,did they?...Isn't this some old friends jamming some songs they know?? You have no right to tell them what to do with their songs,no matter how big a 'fan' you consider yourself.just enjoy what you ve got here!

  • tad doyle is no cornell. this is not soundgarden.

  • I saw Tad on tour with Soundgarden in the early- mid 90's. Looks like some friends jamming to me, I doubt anyone was figuring on replacing Chris with Tad.

    this would have been a cool show to see!!!!! If you have no idea who Tad is learn some history do a search on him and his band , they have been around a long time!

  • latest issue of guitar world magazine Cornell says he doesnt rule out a soundgarden reunion

  • seriously!! despite the fact i cant hear the vocals, kim,matt and ben should have better connections who might know a better singer like cornell who had one of the greatest voices!!

  • TAD Rules!!!!

  • 2:57 epicness

    3:14 epicness forever!!!

  • Yeah Kim Thayil rules...:)

  • Damm chris put on some weight since i saw him last!!! Hey he still is good looking though.

  • lo.l xD

  • gosh! i wish chris was there..

  • This guy can't sing at all...

  • the singer sounds like spongemonkeys

    do watch?v=wY6insZjCfU

    haha

  • thayil's aged a bit

  • A lot of people are pissed that Tad sang but they should be blaming Chris Cornell. He should have been here and not not sucking Timbaland's black cock. Tad Doyle is awesome but only for the band TAD. But that goes for most singers. Eddie Vedder couldn't sing for Alice In Chains and Layne Staley couldn't sing for Pearl Jam.

  • No he shouldn't. Look chris deserves most of the shit heaped on him but the problem is his ex wife Susan Silver. He will not come near a soundgarden reunion so long as that controlling bitch is still managing the band.

  • ohhhh my god!!!!! could be a reunion of soundgarden????? that be amazing!!!

    the problem, i think is the DIVA call Chris Cornell

  • Oh my god when the heckler shouted "Fuck Cornell" i was in stitches.

  • Dude.

    It's fucking scary how old Kim looks.

    I mean it seems like it was only yesterday when they were touring BMF in 92.

    They were such a great band.

    Just hopes Cornell will stop douching it up and come back and just have a reunion.

    Either that or something similar to Euphoria Morning.

  • Fuck Kim looks old. Cameron still looks ok and so does Morello, but Kim looks like a homeless bum....

  • Who gives a shit what he looks like.

  • tad doyle replacing chris cornell is like having mike tyson replace bruce dickinson in maiden

  • The band was ridiculously tight on this song. Very impressive. The song definitely wrecked shop on Tad though. He sounded like a drunken weasel playing Rock Band.

  • Ian Thornley could do vocals for this song, but that aint gonna happen so we'll have to settle for TAD. I wish cornell could pull his lips off of timbelands dick and make some REAL music with these guys again.

  • people must have gone APESHIT when they played this!!!! FUCK YEAH!!! more TADGARDEN!!! and seeing Kim on stage again in this video is so fucking awesome man... that and the fact that i never looked up at the ceiling of the croc? funny as hell... way to go TAD! this is fucking baddass... btw --- for those of you really listening to this --- TAD is singing completely DRY. no processors, nothing. thats just him. NO BULLSHIT.

  • Maybe the logic here is that if they got a singer to completely ruin the songs it would motivate Chris Cornell to come back. It might work- It worked for Iron Maiden :-)
