Soundgarden - Mind Riot Live

Mind Riot Live. One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands.

I was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a third world war
And the police said this was normal control

And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot

I was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just to stamp out the coals

And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pouring down wind

Music: Cornell

I remember buying Badmotorfinger, and hearing this song for the first time. It pretty much blew my mind. It's one of my favorite Soundgarden songs ever.

Thanks for posting!

every string is tuned to E. try and make a song like this with such limitations.

Woah, Matt's wearing a Monster Magnet vest! That's awesome, two of my favourite bands listen to each other.

@Dagaman64 Check out the Wellwater Conspiracy albums, they feature Matt on lead vocals... Very psychadelic, come to think of it "Mind Riot" could fit very well on any of them :)

[templeofcoy]

wow, this version is amazing and such a different vibe from the studio

[krismcphee]

Mind Riot stands out as one of my favorite songs of all time. I think of Four Sticks, Prodigal Son, Diary of a Madman, ...
