Soundgarden - Flower (Live - 1990) RIP Chris Cornell

[@mrsir06]

my parents were there and 9 months later i was born. must've been a good evening if you know what i mean

[@metralleta4234]

creepy

[@basementdweller6000]

disgusting

[@entertain7us148]

Cornell is captivating to watch. That charisma... it's not fake, it's just natural and beautiful. I feel like this song means a lot to him, somehow.

[@morphinlounge101]

So true brother. What a gem, This should be released officiall.

[@thewhatorwhy]

This song was written by Thayil.

[@entertain7us148]

mmm... Chris wrote the lyrics

[@pedrohenriquepinheiro9131]

RIP

[@DreadedEd]

Soundgarden was the best grunge band. Period.

[@codebabe]

agreed. imo the only thing those grunge bands had in common was intensity and rawness. some took influence from punk, and some from metal, and some from classic rock.

[@mytiedye1]

R.I.P. CHRIS CORNELL ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💋💋💋💞💞💞

[@chrissimpson6701]

The most beautiful man I ever laid my fucking eyes on! Ultimate Rockstar, I will never get over his death and will never accept he killed himself. I'm so proud of Lily carrying out his legacy. Chris forever.💔

[@sadlandmachines7297]

Along her vain parade Along her veins All of seventeen Eyes a purple green Treated like a queen She was on borrowed self-esteem She would do her dance A painful masquerade Spinning you into her web Along her vain parade In her uniform Studded brass and steel Kissing napkin lipstick stains And smearing sincerity Time crept up on her She's early gray Her reflection looks concerned And flowers hit her grave

[@somedaysometime]

I swear long haired Chris and short haired Chris are two completely different people. 1990 and '94.

[@pwnshhhop51]

His mustache and goatee make a huge difference too.

[@JamesMacnevin]

I believe younger to bolder chris. Age defines us all.

[@RyanLinkMusic]

Jason Everman, future Green Beret, on bass. This must have been that brief period between Hiro Yamamoto and Ben Shepherd. Cool! (Also after his time in Nirvana, I think.) Seattle high school graduate of 1991 here.

[@mikevito9776]

This is what started my journey

[@hbbean5894]

This is one of the most a$&@ kicking songs ever. Cornell’s vocals and the guitar riffs mixed with Matt Cameron on drums - how could it get better? Still a soundgarden fan after all these years. Rip Chris!

[@insulto9390]

R.I.P1964 - 2017

[@radialaxis]

R.I.P., Chris.

[@godis4sale]

All genres are given a name because the media can't write about music without giving it a label. It's usually a generalization and the longer people use the term, the more of a blanket it becomes. From what I've observed, the thing that unites all the bands of the "grunge" era is they were the first mainstream bands that expressed emotions of rage, cynicism, despair and boredom through music. When these bands took over, it was like all of the excesses of the 1980's came tumbling down.

[@random95725]

This is just the start of a smokin' hot rock legend. Look at that headbanging!

[@jbean7952]

Miss you Chris. All I can say! The world not same without you. RIP to a true great individual!

[@scruzme13]

this is great! wow, just before it all spilled over into the mainstream! very nice! They had no idea what to do with bands like SG then...putting them on tour with the likes of Guns and Roses etc... lol

[@klondike316]

Drinking a Foster's oil can and watching Soundgarden. Life is good. Why is the next oldest comment one year old? How can nobody be checking this stuff out and commenting?

[@samsquanch1996]

I can barely hear Kim, plenty of bass though. Chris, sounding great as ever, RIP.

[@blinddog1212]

Sludgy AF. Somehow awesome. What a groove.

[@321joana123]

The gift of voice himself!

[@WillS-pl8wg]

GOD= chris cornell / shine on brother

[@themachineeatsitself]

i wasn't even concieved yet and they had Ultramega Ok out. i love soundgarden. ;D

[@hannapeter628]

my eyes go a purple green that I am not at this show

[@henchwolf]

met the guy, he works out about 6'3

[@codebabe]

Pearl Jam are amazing too man. Don't forget them. AIC and sound garden had tremendous appreciation for them.

[@Grrizo]

At the beginning this version sounds weird, but later on sounds fucking amazing. Even with the bad quality. _Flowers are always bettter than the paraguayan pot, but you gotta start somewhere._

[@12Daze]

Chris is quite tall.

[@vanncoughanour6175]

Same here! Agreed. Soundgarden is like the only band I listen to...waiting for B-Sides boxset!

[@danielsgrunge]

This was an amazing show

[@isaiahshorter4143]

Ya dude I agree when he passed man I was in high school I am still sad😢 in 2017

[@coldacre]

they have their own stash. welcome to grunge ibonyun!

[@BrandtArt66]

Totally killer footage. I loved when Jason was in the band for his short stint. Drank at the Cathouse with him while seeing Alice In Chains. A totally cool guy imo.

[@Hellon999]

Perfect!

[@jaykay7309]

Love this! Saw them live 1990-1994 and this is the best footage I've seen - beats the official videos. Need to see them live again...

[@emotivedonkey]

grunge is a word people used to describe the sudden rock rise in the late 80s. It's not a music genre, all of those bands are completely different form each other.

[@FunkMastaMegaFlex]

At finally someone gets it, a label is just one more thing to draw away talent and credit from the artist. When someone makes a good song, that's what I call it I don't give a damn about the genre or the style or any of that bs! When people get awards at those silly gatherings they aren't really awarding the (supposed) artist they are just promoting the genre to increase sales at some store somewhere.

[@thewhatorwhy]

Promoting their own self-importance as the one who makes the musician a 'real artist' or star.

[@apiloto3219]

That bass tone though

[@esanch4918]

you can argue the same thing with respect to the term "punk"; it originally was the name of a NYC 'zine which focused on the Ramones, the Dictators, the Stooges and the Velvet Underground. The founders of the 'zine named "punk" said when "punk rockers" came to the fore, it was ironically the death of the original movement and very, very un-punk. Elitism, maybe, but quite correct.

[@4345ghee]

hellyeah. this is fuckin metal at its best tempo.

[@WhyGo79]

@onlytheawesomest trust me in real life he's quite tall.. seen him perform several times ..he's like this force that comes at ya and all you can do in just be in awe !! really haha ..

[@tanvo93]

@italianstallion30 i feel that saw them in LA with the mars volta one of my fav shows everybody (including volta) is on a new level now

[@pablobarrio1270]

La verdad......en la misma época, pero en el desierto de California sonaba Kyuss.......y eran muy parecidos....... en algún punto el Grunge y el Stoner se rozaron de cerca.......

[@cmlukey]

Underrated song.

[@NOC4SFV]

i heard he was 6 foot 3 inches?

[@vanncoughanour6175]

I downloaded it online but I still like to own official release from the band. Better sound quality,too.

[@dynjarren7523]

Again the younger Chris before the mustache!

[@Fakename70]

Exactly 1 month after Andy OD'd

[@solin.victus]

Sad.

[@DreadedEd]

Chris is a tall bird eh?

[@kiracameron7078]

I love u Justin

[@inhofera99]

Bieber?

[@jadhsyjhduyhjy]

wow it is twenty years!

[@pattonPwr]

@NickJanosky its my mom.. well of course its chris cornell, who did you think it was???

[@12Daze]

@adam79adam79 Not quite sure what you mean... It does take about 1 minute for the song to kick in..

[@Roncsipar]

:D:D:D:D:D Awesome comment!

[@davebrocks]

So Heavy.

[@wenders99]

No one mentioning Mudhoney? Sad. I love SG (saw them live from 1991 through 1994), but you have to include Mudhoney in the conversation.

[@12Daze]

And a year later he busted out "Birth Ritual" .. In my opinion, his solo stuff is better than everything else he's done... Before you all start throwing stones at me... KNOW that I love Soundgarden, and dug some Audioslave stuff....

[@12Daze]

@adam79adam79 Wow.. That IS weird.. Glad it's workin' for ya now!

[@radboi90]

Yeah, that's true. I'd buy the official, which would include a lot more, but my version sounds great. I think it was a CD rip. No terrible audio quality, as are some of the torrents out there.

[@lovmjking58]

CORNELL FUCKING HOT

[@12Daze]

@NickJanosky Cornell.. Yep!

[@exe4eye]

@12Daze bizarre.. when i came back to comment on the page, it played the correct video; the first time it was footage of that tadgarden show.. must have been a fucked connection.

[@samimalone7561]

Fluid

[@logansample8436]

No one else finds it weird how it says rip chris but the vid was uploaded 13 years ago and Chris only died like 5 years ago

[@radboi90]

Vann, have you tried getting the fanmade Fresh Deadly Rarites?

[@12Daze]

He's blowing the hair out from in front of his face.

[@shakurgore]

what was chris screaming at 3:18?

[@12Daze]

Sounded like filler vocals... "all along her vein"

[@shakurgore]

i guess so, thanks!

[@NickJanosky]

is that chris cornelle?

[@RoebenSwart]

the volume is way too low!!

[@suhijo]

is that mudhoney bassist .. you know on bass?

[@solin.victus]

Jason Everman. He was in Nirvana as a guitarist in 89 and later as a basist in Soundgarden. He was fired in 1990.

[@WhyGo79]

Dude Tom Morello isn't even in Soundgarden you have them mixed up with Audioslave!

[@nuynobi]

Who gave these guys downers before this show?

[@coolbrando1]

@Rachidth1 Hiro Yamamoto..he's not that bass player..I wanna say he either quit or got fired from the band lol

[@worthlessburger7]

coolbrando1 suuuuper late, but he left to go to college I believe.

[@exe4eye]

what is this, a joke, or did the video get changed?

[@drewfuss2006]

Bad ass mo fo's=soundgarden

[@windsurfingdog]

hi, is there anyone else out there ?lol..

[@brandontylerkaiser]

@lilabitch Mother love bone, isn't really grunge, i'd say they are Pre-grunge/glam

[@jasmaxi1]

Outrammusic Grunge is not a music genre, it’s a media term for the scene. And I fucking hate that term.

[@niklasdefiego]

thats quite funny, my littel brother was born in the night from the 15. to the 16. april 1990. now he is twentee years old. but i thing the guitar is not loud enought in this vid. i bet my brother and my mother dont care about the guitar from soundgarden in that night. well, maybe my brother did care about the bass. i thing i´m gonna ask him today.

[@Rachidth1]

whos the bass player here?

[@solin.victus]

Jason Everman, I think. He was a guitarist for Nirvana in early 1989, but he had trouble adapting the life on the road. So they fired him, the same year he filled in for Yamamoto when he quit Garden. But he was fired some time in 1990. He went on to become a Ranger in US Military and fought in Afghanistan and shit, I just read an interview of his last night.

[@worldz9749]

Clean shaven Chris looked weird

[@15lesson]

It doesn't look weird to a old school SG fan. It only looks weird to you cause started listening to him in the mid 90s

[@maiki60fps]

whoever captured the sound or set up the systems did it wrong... this sounds just terrible compared to studio versions, I can hardly hear the guitars...

[@KerryxInxYoxFace]

eh some songs i could probably see but not a lot though and if you go by that logic than any song sped up is punk and that wouldn't make too much sense.

[@pattonPwr]

NO!

[@jumpfart666]

"!!!!!

[@grahamroach505]

Incredible tone. But I’m so sorry to say it…a bit pitchy.

[@4345ghee]

nah, listen to the riffage. so intense!! plus grunge is a media label doesn't describe soundgarden's sound at all. yes, you were right about it not being metal. it's not metal, it's punk slowed down. slowed the fuck down. imagine speeding up a soundgarden song, what do you get? PUNK.

[@jasmaxi1]

ghee4345 The band themselves referred to themselves as a metal band. That’ll do me.

[@youknowyourewrongright93]

Did you predict the fucking future

[@WhyGo79]

that crowd totally sucked, not knowing what they witnessed and now years later banging themselves in the head for it ...

[@elerickkoo]

well vh1 say the 5 greatest grunge bands were 5.-stone temple pilots 4.-alice in chains 3.-pearl jam 2.-soundgarden 1.-nirvana so now you know who is the beest

[@Grungedude93]

@funlivelife i know dude it blows doesnt it. its like we were born in the wrong generation

[@codebabe]

stone temple pilots is stp.

[@TofikToficTofic]

nirvana sucks soundgarden has always been the best, along with pearl jam and alice in chains

[@elerickkoo]

junior bri for sure men i know more of music than you
