Soundgarden - Spoonman

[TheProdigySupreme]

Dope!

[NatofDom]

1:54 The bent fork! Anybody know why chris cornell stopped wearing it? it was a gift from shannon hoon? I mean after he died wouldn't you still wear it to honor him?

[belzatan]

FANTASTICI-

BELIAL FLORENCE

[karlk553]

this song is about artis the spoonman but the lyrics suggest heroin use and the spoon is used to take heroin so it could also be about heroin

[MrDeathstarbud]

soundgarden kicks ass

[willdude85]

Who knew spoons could be so EPIC!

A song this amazing and its about a guy playing with spoons!

I want to learn how to do it and spoon all across America!

[guitarguy7100]

swing and a miss for rosered316

[cheseeproductions]

0:15 it starts

[anythinggoes31]

I was gonna say it musit be about Heroin.

[rosered316]

I get why the song is about being addicted to heroine,because spoonman (spoon) you use a spoon and put heroine on it and light it up. :(

Maybe that explains why he's dancing all crazy in the video.

[hhhseanhbk]

@rosered316

No. The song is about Artis the Spoonman, a guy from Seattle who travels the world playing spoons. The guy in the video isn't dancing crazy, he's using his body as an instrument.

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

@rosered316 That is completely understandable. Besides, the band came from Seattle, where heroin use was rampant in the early 1990's.

[MyDogJuno1]

Amesome i play this on ROCK BAND 2

[MsLongNails]

Spoonman likes to spoon.

[Pravindaswani74]

Artis rules too

[ataEMMEata]

spoon me

[Shortstuff0127]

lulz

[hEINRICh6669]

So awesome. 90's in my heart.

[DharoksPimp]

I know it is about the music the spoon makes, but could this song also be bout escaping from jail?

"save me, i'm together with your plan" "save me with your hand"

just a thought

[alucardio]

this song is about heroin addiction

[Darkjedi195]

yesssir heroin addiction...layne staley kurt cobain...was pretty much the staple of grunge right there

Good times :D

[looseground]

Awesome music. I was missing this, Cornell at his best. Long live the 90's. Would like to invite everyone to check my band Loose Ground. We've just recorded our first EP but Soundgarden and many other stuff from the 90's are our main influences. Anyway that's where the real music is to us. Thanks&Peace

[CrashBurner47]

thats so true long live the 90s man best decade ever

[redsox76789]

yeah but audioslave was good too...but then rage against the machine got back together and audioslave is done now so i dont know where cornell is going now...soundgarden should get back together

[MrKsizzle]

naw, soundgarden has nothing left to prove. they broke up because they were finished. reuniting would be undignified. a one off tour would be rad though.

[fua80]

CHORNEL IS FUCKING PLAYBOY NOW...

[ataEMMEata]

anyone can become worst

[tga2848]

there's a few spoon player vids here on the tube. Probably a few jugband vids too.

[buffalobanditsrock]

this is on atv of road fury

[Skajizzle]

witch one?

[Mynameis708]

It is not just rock, it is grunge.

[snowman759]

Spoon man rulez!

[justindude40]

so um...what is this song about?

[snowman759]

duh its about someone who plays the spoons!

[SweetestVenom]

Artis the Spoonman. xD He's a musician who plays with spoons. The song is just about him.

[zavorapipefish]

why are their no more spoonmen on my corner?

[Marcelis]

that intro should have been on the album

[SCHENTH]

Diese Musik von Schallgartden heißt "Löffelmann": Einer der besten Musiken aller Zeiten.

[Unequivocalx]

One of my favorite songs of all time! I miss sound garden!

[spoonlamp]

yes it is!

[DogFacePigBastard]

Spoonman!!!!!!!!!!!!

[najikuHyuuga]

this song is the shit!!!

[sebastiano2012]

Fucking Awesome.

[natedog949]

it sorta sound like tool in one part...

[natedog949]

wait is that maynard as the spoonman?!

[PaulyCracker]

No, that is Artis the Spoonman. And that's really him too.

[minodude01]

do you know if they used Artis for recording too, or just making the video? I saw him at bumpershoot and thought he was awesome

[PaulyCracker]

No idea on the recording, but I'd venture a yes guess on it as you can hear something on the track. But it's Artis the Spoonman playing the spoons in the video, not Maynard, however similar they look.

[minodude01]

I checked wikipedia, and it said thats him on the record

[knox11]

Mayby the old tool, definatly not the shit tool has come, where all their new songs sound alike....

[chukurrinow]

Are you talking about Maynard James Keenan TOOL?

[Shalashaska777]

I wonder whatever happened to that fork necklace that Shannon Hoon gave him...

[blackjack0555]

I've read that he stopped wearing it shortly after Shannon died.

[MemoryLaneCinema]

THEIR BEST SONG!

[judojon2216]

what the guy does with the spoons in the begining is cool! great song!!!!!!

[Lman90dude]

[Hardysamnin]

[tehsVen]

No.

[bMoney9292]

[sarteagam880626]

good song bad video

[luquito3]

totally truth man, Black hole sun is either a great song, but the video sucks, spoonman its a great song, but the video sucks too, Superunknow its a great album, but the videos are not cool! lol

[jarrad8616]

chris cornell is the shit.

[poopeater14]

this made the word "spoonman" seem so awesome lol ;)

[michaeljamesmccabe]

The guy performing is a famous street musician from Seattle.

The somg was written about him. It's awesome that they got him to perform in the track and in the video.

Chris' fork necklace was given to him by Shannon Hoon of Blind Melon. Cool gift!

Just some trivia for ya.

[2kmax]

lol dude video length is 4:20

[SkyShaw]

Great, go eat some cheetos and go away. I'm all for legalization but typing under the influence should be illegal.

[Sidar654321]

SkyShaw, you made me smile (:

[gvlaker9]

This is an incredible song.! I love soundgarden!

[Northsound360]

[sonicpotter2000]
