[HD] Soundgarden - Rusty Cage (1992 LoLLapaLooza WA)

[@slipshaft]

I have no idea how Chris can play something with that kind of rhythm and sing like a beast at the same time! RIP Chris Cornell!

[@mat11trick]

Max Weisenstein •••You're right. Playing this is very challenging but singing/playing guitar along with it? Incredibly hard.

[@manicmurph]

I know right!

[@gregs570]

I know right. Check out his acoustic version of outshined in PA. Now that's fucking way crazy.

[@pieter3842]

he works on it a lot until he knows it in and out, that s the way of the champion

[@j2martnz348]

Insane ability to play that weird time signature and sing like he does !

Bruh his bass was below his knees

[@BarekHalfhand]

He IS crazy, for real

[@jessclownin8836]

He's playing the bass at his knees like it ain't no thing. I also love his Frankenstein stomp at the breakdown. Kick ass performance.

No doubt he was feelin it wasn’t he!

[@torque91]

I guess Kim's cameraman called in sick that day.

[@75harg]

jajajaj

[@nesfan8]

Too common in Soundgarden concerts sadly

[@streamofconsciousness5826]

​ @nesfan8 he avoids them, actually gives them dirty looks if the try and follow him, there is a show, a European Festival in Amsterdam, Half way in it became, "this guy is a ass". No one is stealing your riffs buddy.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

For a minute, I was thinking that *Kim* called in sick and they had to perform as a power trio...

[@azzamatic4190]

Too ethnic to show for that period of time

[@manicmurph]

Breakdown riff is like one of the best riffs ever...rip chris!!

[@genebingle1754]

Yes it is!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah I think Rage Against the Machine kind of emulated the vibe from this song for Killing in the Name Of breakdown, though it's obviously different and great on its own merits.

[@speedking7224]

That breakdown is a fucking WMD

[@galetinm]

Main riff isn't bad either

[@palmerlp]

Ben Shepherd always played like his soul was leaving his body. Monster bass-player.

[@kalebbrown5523]

Crazy how chris can sing and play that riff at the same time

[@shaunpilkington4625]

I’m so happy and blessed to have been apart of this generation.. 90’s for life

[@waylonbeasley1477]

90s was the last great musical generation. Being 16-18 during the early 90s was special.

[@nebnep]

Playing all riffs in this song singing at the same time, outstanding!

[@DonVueltaMorales]

I'm in my late 60s and the dopamine rush from this performance was incredible.

[@cgkuch4184]

Most of today’s musicians can’t amount to half of Chris’s talent. RIP!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

There's plenty of talent, but the songwriting has become too emo and lame.

[@user-zt2wc3uh1l]

Nope. Not the singing half, not the guitar playing half, and ....um, not the songwriting half.

[@aimfuldrifter]

3:39 - that stage dive was awesome; even the chick in the background was amazed :D

[@justinkline1294]

Nice catch. Thanks.

[@tylerj.calhoun255]

R.I.P. Chris Cornell, you were one of the best singers in rock history

[@j2martnz348]

The level of musicianship on that stage is off the charts !

[@darcyrobinson4950]

Damnit what a badass!! Awesome performance!! An infinite sea of mosh pits! I have to admit I'm surprised at how missed Cornell is and how vastly celebrated he is. I deeply regret, and I'm old enough to say this, not catching a show with Soundgarden like this. Those drudgy low tuned guitar tone Thayil and Cornell played were killer!

[@lous8619]

So thankful I got to see them a few years back on the King Animal tour ! They were awesome as ever and Chris absolutely killed it

[@genebingle1754]

I hate that I didn’t get to see them

[@jgfunk]

RIP, Chris. You were a hell of a musician.

[@hermajestyjenn7928]

Is a hell of musician. Death does nothing to diminish it. 😊

[@Apebek]

These are the most ultimate bass moves

[@EbluestarE]

At 3:09 the bass player slid up to the following note without hitting the string. Something just badass about that

[@jeanpierrebalantaguevara3948]

That's Mr. Ben Shepherd! ¡What a excellent bass player!

YOU ARE VERY LUCKY!

[@jamesrusso3842]

saw them about 7 times in early and mid 90s...shook chris' hand in 94 after the NYR won the cup...i was chanting LETS GO RANGERS and he smiled and come over and shook my hand...and congratulated new york

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

I did! It was in october 1996 live in Ludwigbsburg (the town I live) Germany. Down on the upside tour.... Spoonman was the first song they played... and I literally felt the earth crumbling under my feet! And after Black Hole Sun... the audience, including myself... cheered the souls out our bodies! What an amazing performance. Best 2 1/2 hours in my life! R.I.P. Chris Cornell! May you rock in heaven now!

[@rickrussell5147]

I saw them in 1992, Lollapalooza, Jones Beach NY. I remember they played Outshined, I was completely blown away.

[@CarlosFloresRock]

Es duo de guitarras es letal la bateria una bestia y el bajo una locura una banda demasiado espectacular

[@justinkline1294]

Ben's jazz bass tone is damn near perfect.

[@arcusma]

Playing Rusty Cage while singing is insanely difficult… this is fucking impressive

[@bobamus1987]

What a dream team. I’m sure it’s been said before but having; Chris, Matt, Kim, and Ben together onstage is magical to me. I Wish I could take a time machine back, and see this show.

[@adriansmith76]

that is pretty crazy , its a tough riff to do and he's singing over the top of playing it , madness.

[@nicholepankhurst2370]

Loving this performance I’ve not ever seen anyone play the bass hanging that low but he owns it the whole band does. Loud Love Chris Cornell 🌹🌹

[@grecorobert97]

I'm a Grateful Deadhead. They shaped me, and completely changed my life. They are in my heart, my blood, and my soul. They taught me almost everything I know. Through their philosophy I eventually opened up to other music. I am awfully glad that I stumbled upon Soundgarden. I do believe that they are my favorite of the big 4. Now we all know who the big 4 are. And I have grown to love them all to death. I feel the undying devotion. I don't know what else to say. For someone who identifies with the Grateful Dead so heavily, to get into this heavier music. I am indebted to the band Soundgarden, as well as their Seattle contemporaries Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Pearl Jam. I find many parallels between that scene and the psychedelic scene of the 1960's. I could go on for hours and hours. Write you guys a fuckin book. But I'll end it here, so I can rock out to some more of my boys, that being Soundgarden. Rest in true peace Mr. Chris Cornell. Rest in true peace Mr. Jerry Garcia.

[@ricardolandgrave2532]

You should try listening to Stone Temple Pilots, especially Purple and Tiny Music. If you're also into Zepellin you'll love them.

[@Yeast191]

[@bigdaddybuster9494]

Listen to Kim normal they brought It back

[@cannatacris]

@@Yeast191 grunge is more a label than a real genre haha

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

@@cannatacris Grunge was more an attitude and time/space period than an actual genre. It did have some common elements, like the loud-soft thing that Nirvana perfected, the heavy driving riffs that Soundgarded perfected, and the vocal styles and lyrical complexity of all the bands in the genre was definitely unique (Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam stand out for that too). Something about the Northwest really did produce a bunch of dudes with an artistic/sensitive psychology that was particularly well suited to making memorable music! For all the really big names there are probably a dozen bands that were equally interesting but just didn't quite make it.

[@TKO_Mo]

@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Yeah good point. Nirvana and Alice in Chains really should have nothing to do with each other; Nirvana is punk influenced and Alice comes more from the hair metal influence. Its all about mood and aesthetics.

[@jgn2112]

3:39 - that, right fucking there. I hit my adult prime in the early 90s, and that was what a live performance back then was all about - letting it all out with the music that was as real and visceral as your own blood and sweat.

[@SouthEndDoom]

That was an amazing show. The whole thing kicked ass. MINISTRY destroyed my hearing that day.

[@keanuismyfather7477]

The collective talent in this band absolutely off the charts. Chris alone had more talent in one finger than 90% of the music industry today.

[@mikemagyar3222]

I was about 30’ from the stage in between Kim and Chris. I had seen my fair share of mosh pits in Seattle over the past few years but this show is etched in my memory as the King of all pits. Rusty Cage was one of the highlights of the show for sure. The crush was obscene, I remember being lifted off my feet for what seemed like minutes at a time, gasping for air, drenched in sweat and stink. Suddenly a hole would open up, 15 feet across, right in front of me, and the hole would fill with a collision of bodies, and the hole would close. And open, and close. I’ve thought about this phenomenon often, how a crush of bodies can create a hole instantaneously. From where does hole come? Who is deciding to make it? Perhaps quantum physics can explain this phenomenon.

[@HerrWerlein]

I was in damn near the same spot! What an awesome experience!!!

[@SouthEndDoom]

I was right there too. EPIC DAY

[@yrMomIsHere]

I remember watching an interview that discussed the change even in CA at that time. They talked about the hair bands still playing the famous bars there and in strides Jane’s Addiction. Perry Farrell jumping around onstage changing the tone and perception of live music. Wish I could link it here. I remember that shift happening everywhere. But everyone kinda knew it was real when the hair bands in CA hung it up. Nothing against them. It just changed like a quiet nuke.

[@XistoKente]

Kim Thayil called that ending groove an "undanceable riff". Upon inspection, it's made up of six-bar phrases - three bars of 3/4, one bar of 5/4, a bar of 3/4 and a bar of 2/4 (3+3+3+5+3+2). How Chris manages to play that and sing at the sime time, I don't know.
