Soundgarden - Rusty Cage (Live at the Showbox 2010)

[oasisforever00]

I don't mind if he doesn't sing as good as 10 years ago...he'll always be my idol.

[Flipenultra]

does sond as good as he used to

[tacohead34]

You can see the ghost of jimi hendrix in the top left corner it's pretty wierd

[bobbybin3011]

This is fucking amazing

[easyeasy007]

if at any point serious intelligent listeners notice a difference in cornells voice thats for the worst, as they come and go, note hes playing rhythm guitar and this is a rehearsal, he has more on his mind than what part to carry high notes on and instead probably just screams and makes it sound sick anyways

[GtheMVP]

@easyeasy007 yeah, check out their new song beyond the wheel on thier official page, fucking sick vocals

[thedivegr]

"beyond the wheel" its not a new song... its from "ultra mega ok" record released in 1987 (or 1988)

[campoobutt]

@GtheMVP That's not a new song, man, it's from their first record.

[GtheMVP]

@campoobutt haha, I never knew that, thanks!-

[MrBrombomb]

Still Awesome!! They still sound kick-ass!

[Annonymus121]

Matt Cameron Is th dummer for two of my favourite bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nowe105]

damn man its like chris grabbed his vocal box from his early 90s and late 80s self :O way better then when he was with audioslave

[rlivorsi77]

Too fast. Tempo anyone? I mean I'm all for live energy, but this is too fast and destroys the groove of the original tune.

[c5rang]

@rlivorsi77 remember this is nudedragons rehearsal show, its a warm up Lol!

[LeeboProductions]

@rlivorsi77 sounds like you have never played in a band before..... adrenaline brother... that happens live ;)

[Alhambrattp]

Still amazing!

[Soundgardener80]

Wonder if this reunion will make chris think twice about the direction he's been taking as a solo artist, hope so

[demonrockgod]

Dude what's wrong with Chris??? He has been able to do this song real recently and has done well.

[soundslave]

A direct quote from Eddie Vedder, "Matt Cameron writes songs and we run to find step stools in order to reach his level,...what comes naturally to him leaves us with our heads cocked like the confused dogs that we are,...eventually getting it. Did we mention he's the greatest drummer on the planet?". Enough said.

[SolsierayAxle]

The best song of Soundgarden, and the best of the Grunge mouvement !!!

[gothnickify]

Soundgarden was the best group to come out of the Seattle grunge scene of the 1990s. To each their own and that is my opinion. I liked Nirvana, like Alice in Chains a lot but Soundgarden was my fave. Kim Thayil is a freaking Guitar God and Chris is a true poet that knows how to use those vocals. I do not think the grunge scene will ever come back, like if the scene it self actually matters, but I am sure glad that the best rock group of the 1990s along with the Smashing Pumkins is back.

[cgnetwork1]

@gothnickify Perfectly articulated except for one phrase: Guitar God. He isn't a Guitar God, he's a "Guitar Guru"! My apologies if you aren't aware of the reference, in which case I might look very stupid.

[gothnickify]

@cgnetwork1 No need to apologies, thanks man.

[TheJurneyMan]

Balls to the wall rock music!!!! It's nasty and it kicks ass. It's way better than Nickelback bullshit

[Grunxseattle]

Uffff



[mattrackham89]

All you motherfuckers that are being technical about his voice & register ...... Shut the fuck up....When you can sing as good as he can & have an ounce of his talent ...Then you can yap on & on ...If your as good as him or better ,Than post some video of yourselves singing better than him...until than ..SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!!!!!

[wyldedevilchylde666]

You know, the one thing I hate about Youtube is the comments...I could really give a shit what anyone thinks or says about anything. Maybe someday they'll ditch this stupid forum for morons to voice their worthless opinion.

[dakrusha]

the only audioslave cd that i liked was the first one

[b1cc2]

Chris Cornell has let me down too many times and has tainted Soundgarden, which used to be my favorite band, forever. I can't even listen to Soundgarden anymore, because everything reminds me of how Chris Cornell was supposed to save rock music with Audioslace until it got to be about money. Then he released that faggoty ass rap bullshit, and now this. That's gay.

[Quinnpie]

@b1cc2 What a fucking moron.

[wachman]

I'm really surprised how well Chris's voice sounds with them. He sounded like he was really struggling with audioslave but he sounds really comfortable here. I hope it gets even better! LET'S MAKE A NEW ALBUM!

[slaskrevenge]

cornell got no more voice...

[quathar]

@slaskrevenge He was a bit rusty on some songs, yes. But listen to Beyond the Wheel from the same show and say the same thing.

[slaskrevenge]

@quathar I've listened. Sounds impressing,but if you listen carefully you notice that is a "falsetto".not full voice (which you can hear from performances before they split).Don't know how long he can take,even falsetto is fatiguing;most of Audioslave songs were less difficult to sing,and we all know how it ended (i truly don't believe the "artistic discordances" thing),with Chris who couldn't resist a 2hrs gig (in fact after the first "screaming" album he changed completely 4 the next 2 works).

[slaskrevenge]

It's not good to say this, but I seriously think he reunited with SG just because he understood how awful his solo career had become... to avoid becoming a "commercial pop singer" (damn when I listened to his latest single I was astonished!) the only thing he could do was calling back his old mates (audioslave reunion's not possible anymore because of RATM) and try a revival (as every '90s band seems to do it nowadays..). Hope i'm wrong... but this is my impression.

[quathar]

@slaskrevenge I'm sorry but those distinctions between types of voices is meaningless unless you say what school of singing you adhere to. And even then it's usually still pointless because there are so many myths and confusions and inaccuracies in most voice schools. His voice IS different though, especially in the high registers, that I can agree on and generally I think he sounded his best in the mid 90s.

[slaskrevenge]

@quathar

it doesn't matter what school of singing (i couldn't even explain which is, i just think falsetto shouldn't be used/abused when one cannot reach high tones), those songs were recorded and played live with a specific register; if now Chris uses falsetto to replace that register, because he can't sing those high chorus, well, obviously there's a problem.

yes, he sounded best in the mid 90s, and probably he was a terrific performer until first gigs with Audioslave...

[quathar]

@slaskrevenge Sure it matters, just as terminology matters in any artform if you are to have a meaningful discussion about it. For instance, according to CVT both of his efforts would have been "neutral" (the equivalent, in some regards, to falsetto). He is obviously modulating the voice differently, and he was more in the center of the mode (neutral is one of four modes in CVT) before; my semi-educated guess anyway. All high notes are usually done in neutral since that needs the least energy.

[imabasketcase88]

these motherfuckers need to tour england very fucking soon... love soundgarden

[crapbagsound]

soundgarden reunion is the best news ever in 2010. i am so happy they are back. Kim Thayil's beard is still holy!!!

[Andras75]

@crapbagsound oh, how much i'd love to see that greybearded philosopher rippin out those riffs in front of me!! holy hair!!

[ClaussXeroS]

But im gonna break!! =D

que cancion pa mas wena! ksmre!!

[MIKEH75]

badmotorfingermotherfucka

[MIKEH75]

soundgarden and alice in chains.two of the best bands to come out of the 90's

[cheseeproductions]

I wonder how people would react if I hold the mic to my waist the rest of the show.....

-soundgarden

[TheKeatan]

Matt Cameron plays the part at 2:41, left handed. So fucking badass. I remember seeing it in a video of them playing Seattle in '92. BLEW MY MIND. He is so damn good.

[dukeljk]

Jason Sutter is average, and don't compare the guitarist to kim thayil, no comparison. Its one thing to play music that has all ready been written, quite another to come up with something original on your own.

[pot4tots]

Dude holy shit therye gonna blow the top off of that lolapalooza which is gonna suck except for soundgarden im so happy christ rocks again

[electricjake]

I was there. It was AWESOME...!!!!!!!!! To the argument posted below - Matt Cameron is an amazing drummer w/ great tempo and an innovative approach. Also, Chris Cornell held it down pretty f***king solid. I only heard him falsetto on 1 song. Pretty damn impressive (he ain't 21 anymore).

[rcrase]

I'm going to speak on behalf of all of Seattle, and say "we're most proud of Soundgarden. No other band as ever moved us the way they have."

[campoobutt]

They sent me free tickets through email, because I was one of the first ones on their mailing list, but I live In Illinois & had no way to get there.

Fucking sucked.

[marlom2312]

@campoobutt same happened to me, and im from brazil, can`t believe this shit, i was planning to kill myself but now i`ve got a reason to live again

[Pravindaswani74]

Chris Cornell has lost his voive ok..but let's not be too technical and see the positive side of all this comeback of the band...they're all together again and let's enjoy! :)

[ktrel54]

Thayil's really showing his style on this one. He does it sooooo much fucking better than that gay poppy backing band for Cornell. As for Cornell, these vocals are fucking incredible.

[Greaseball01]

@ktrel54 Well, I think Cornell stretches himself vocally so much on every song, that it's difficult to have consistantly fantastic vocals all the way through the show without straining himself, but you're right, they're really good considering.

[speakjones]

@ktrel54 Eh, that "Gay poppy band" has two of the best damn guitarists, Peter "effing" Thorn and Yogi Lonich - in the business and one of the baddest effing drummers you'll ever see, Jason Sutter.

I think you might be objecting to the "Timberlen" dance material, which I don't fault you for doing.

[JoeSidhu]

@speakjones

Jason Sutter was average at best. He's no Matt Cameron.

[speakjones]

@JoeSidhu Look fanboy, I'm major, raving fan of Matt Cameron's as well, but to refer to one of the most accomplished and versitile drummers in the industry as "average at best" beyond irresponsible, if not moronic. Whata tell us next, "Steve Gadd is alright." Lol! There are about 1000 seriously accomplish bad-asses that would LOVE to have that kind of "average" as their drummer.

[strust007]

@speakjones wow that guy is sooo dumb bro, Matt Cameron cud possibly b the best drummer or prob 1 of the best drummers alive

[walterp341]

@strust007 i wouldn't say the best alive, but he's damn good. Out of the "Big 4" of "grunge", i can't decide whose better, Grohl or Cameron, and i worshipat the altar of Dave Grohl.

[TheToastBrothers]

@walterp341 I would say cameron, but saying that would be impossible after listening to them crooked vultures' album.

[walterp341]

@TheToastBrothers they both seem like nice guys from what i've seen, and they are both god damn great drummers.For influence and notoriety, it would definately be Dave, but technical ability, i think it's too close to call.

[superdude13666]

@strust007 Neil Peart, Carl Palmer, Bill Bruford & Terry Bozzio are all still alive. But Cameron is still a great & bad ass drummer.

[deadboys1010]

@superdude13666 Personally, I'll go for personal style more than I will flash. I don't care about a drummer being able to hit 5/16 notes on a hi-hat, I want groove and intensity. Bruford is good on those accounts, though.

Its kinda like saying the best guitarist is the one who can hit the most notes. To hell with that!

Anyways, Soundgarden sound great here. Shame that Cornell isn't 10 years younger, but all things considering, he sounds awesome.

[CameronTheCCole]

@deadboys1010 i'm glad chris isn't 10 years younger. 10 years ago he was with audioslave and didn't sound nearly as good as he does now....now if he was "euphoria morning" age that would be a different story

[JoeSidhu]

@speakjones Only fanboy here is you. Get off Sutter's dick.

Have you heard him try and play this song? Horrendous. He's messed up live alot. And his drum solos are nothing special.

He's just an average drummer. He's not bad. But he's not all that great either.

". . . one of the baddest effing drummers you'll ever see, Jason Sutter." Seriously? Get off his dick.

[dukeljk]

@JoeSidhu your a moron fuck you, no one cares for you.  Fuck your mama.

[JoeSidhu]

@dukeljk Have fun insulting people on Youtube. Bet it gets you really excited.

[speakjones]

@JoeSidhu It's okay. I remember hitting puberty 30 years ago; it messes with your judgment.

[Shepherd492]

@speakjones ROFL what? you have no idea what you are talking about, none, GTFO and watch some of their faggot vids if you are of that opinion, its absolutely hilarious that you would think that "yes, random cover band X has 3 of the best musicians in the "business"" if by business you mean awful, boring, conventional pop, you may have a case, otherwise, seriously GTFO

[AICRULZ13]

that bass is pounding! great grunge sound from Ben Shepherd

[ringmeista25]

Matt Cameron > Jason Sutter. Great drumming with speed and precision. Nothing against the Run to The Desert guys ( Cornell's solo backing band), they're cool guys, but they can't tie the bootstraps of Soundgarden. This song is prime example of why :)

[duarw7]

lollapalooza?????

[frankrizzo09]

This is sooo epic...I listened to the shit out of Badmotorfinger when I was in High School..I read that they had a strict no audio/video policy at the venue at this show..Haha, high five to whoever recorded this!!!

[craymorr2003]

This is absolutely amazing...... Matt shows why he is probably the last few decade's best drummer.....soundgarden shows why they were one of the best bands in the last 40 years and still relevant

[superunknown831]

finally. the originators not cornells other fags that played the instruments and ruined it. SOUNDGARDEN FOREVER

[56Century]

Matt Cameron is blistering

[Coldiscool]

You have no idea how strongly i wanted to be there....

[ZGippe40GK]

@Coldiscool same here dude. i found out way too late...its too bad for us seattle soundgarden die hard fans.
