Soundgarden I discovered thanks to my friend Fer. When I could not leave Pearl Jam and Nirvana , he, always a heavy step, let me hear the record that cemented the strong foundation of Fame Soundgarden "Superunknown " (1994) called me to continue in the catharsis that I supposed the other two relating to what we accepted called "sound Seattle" or directly "Grunge ": The " Nevermind" by Nirvana and "Ten " by Pearl Jam . Sorry put these disks in the same boat but exerted a gravitational influence on me keeping me similar magnitude in the first half of the 90 sitting in a chair in a medium unfurnished room through the windows without curtains and entered this day other discs to rotate immediately put my head around as if they were satellites. Tucked
fully in this roll teenager ( Adidas "Gazelle " sheathed and stained on the first day to look more dirty, shorts and long sleeve shirt, fiddling with some drugs) the following Soundgarden album I heard was it " Badmotorfinger" and soon I understood where it came from and how it evolved its successor, " Superunknown."
" Badmotorfinger" album is a strong, fast and guitars where its creators show a perfect harmony between knowing a technical instrument and emotionally. And this is not a cliché, is an empirical statement declared after listening carefully tracks on the album. As the voice of Chris Cornell , there is one that has been branded copy of the great figures of the 70 heavy and 80 as Ozzy Osbourne or Robert Plant. Well, I think Chris Cornell grew up listening to records Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin and has masterfully managed to combine these influences with the incredible power and comprehensive register of his voice. Who is not reflected in his works the influences that have drunk? On the other hand say that his voice until Superunknown I like it so much I think something loud. The last two albums by Soundgarden become darker, slow and heavy and it shows both the guitar as voice.
"Badmotorfinger " was overshadowed by the other disks in 1991 removed by Nirvana or Pearl Jam , but once they began to leave copies of the record stores, he dedicated from my point of view, as one of the best albums of the year (even was nominated for a Grammy ) to stay on the shelves of half the world letting hear from time to time by the owners or piggy Dj's of bars. Today Soundgarden a few years apart and have no views leaving again for other hollow in my ears, but the corn that have occurred within me will remain intact until the time and fate, end up with me.
As a gift, do not miss version of Rusty Gage Jonnhy Cash. Hilarious!
Highlights:
- The crazy guitar of "Jesus Christ Pose "
- perfect harmony between guitar and vocals with " Outshined" (" I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota " Great!)
- The world seen through a glass completely opaque to "Slaves and bulldozers " And special mention to the video released in 1992: " Motorvision " where is this video out. Conseguidlo!
- The flavored anthem "Mind Riot "
