Soundgarden - Incessant Mace [Studio Version]

[@iamgodbringmecake]

RIP Chris. You had more soul in your little finger than many musicians had in their entire body. Keep rockin

[@ventor11225]

Just saw Soundgarden and they opened the show with this song on Mothers Day. It was so fucking amazing. It was the final time they played the song. Chris died three days later after the next show. Its a night and week I will never forget. RIP Chris.

[@jadeipissedoffnow]

You were lucky to get to see them that last time.. I live a half hour from Detroit..but I didn't know they were playing here..Weird..But. watching the video of the last show here makes me really sad...He was slowed down...Shame getting killed the way he did...He was such a nice person..sweet guy..He had the best voice!!!! I hope you're happy where ever you are Chris..

[@NostalgiaKing]

Kansas City! I drove three hours for that show, and god did they deliver. I saw them in Chicago back in 2011, and while they were good then, the Starlight Theater performance was amazing - they were so tight, and Chris was at the top of his game, especially during Incessant Mace. I couldn't believe he passed away just a few days later. I'm still hoping a bootleg surfaces at some point - it was such a great show.

[@crisshadows1]

So he's afraid he'll suffer his father's fate Two sets of silverware, cups and plates Two bloody hands and bleeding hearts yeah But don't feel it's not too late to start Only the photographs on your wall Are chained and down your hall Reminding you of all the days When you collected hell to pay Well hell to pay I said it's not too late Not it's not too late, yeah Incessant mace Incessant mace Oh God I can see it, you know it's incessant mace Uh yeah yeah Magazine stacks and broken backs Are what you get for piling stacks Beneath your treasure chest? You wonder why you're under stress You're under stress I said, no it's not too late, no, not too late Yeah it's not too late Incessant mace Incessant mace oh yeah Incessant mace Incessant mace yeah Oh God I can see it, you know it's incessant , mace, mace

[@kaotekdj]

The Sabbath is strong in this one.

[@olivershagnasty7704]

Kaotek DJ I've always felt that vibe in a lot of their songs. True Story.

[@nunyabidness4220]

And the Zeppelin is even stronger. "Dazed and confused for so long it's not true, wanted a woman never bargained for you..." Soundgarden almost owes them royalties.

[@robertoricci3393]

@@nunyabidness4220 A song that Zeppelin stole from Jake Holmes? Nah!

[@UnchainedMelodie92]

@@robertoricci3393 They were definitely very known for stealing a lot of the music they called "theirs." That's why I could *never* get into Led or respect them.

[@ILikeWafflz]

Only Soundgarden can make a 6+ minute song that uses one riff and have it not be repetitive.

[@TheSkyHMaestro]

Well they're partially doom metal; every good doom metal band repeats a riff and makes it sound fresh.

[@basilpapachristos7835]

Unreal

[@777Eliyahu]

I think Black Flag did a pretty good job with "Nothing Left Inside"

[@motorologist]

Except there are many riffs... 0:04, 1:03, 2:03, and 4:25

[@NatteRoll]

Matt Cameron, guys Matt Cameron

[@EmeffMonkey]

Soundgarden... wow man. I have all their albums and they've never failed me, even King Animal sounds fucking amazing.

[@Eternitycomplex]

Its incredible that something this visceral and bluesy came out of 1988, the same year that the top 100 songs were saturated in glam bands and pop metal. How the heck did pop culture ignore Soundgarden for three years!

[@danielblauw618]

Soundgarden fanatic for life

[@Karolssik]

One of their greatest songs. I wonder why it is so little popular.

[@danielblauw618]

Ultra mega ok changed my life

[@IMEANCEREAL]

It's like Sabbath, Zeppelin, and Jim Morrison all got super stoned one night.

[@andressarangelbundy4150]

Such a fucking great song .We miss you Chris !! Keep Rockin the entire world wherever you are.

[@sausage4231]

I just love how dynamic the space between the vocals and the instruments is. DYNAMIC! MELODIC! RHYTHMIC! Not to say that 'all music today is crap', but it's certainly different.

[@drummerboy231434]

I love the riff, for some reason it sounds like something that'll just keep on going and never end.

[@Strangedayze]

5:09 - 5:13. Holy Shit.

[@vincehoialmen1283]

the blue notes are strong on this one. dig Kim's leads here. I bought both UltraMega OK and Louder than love at the same time in '93. This album and BMF are the greatest imo.

[@kylebatteson9572]

Such a kickass tune. Just a great song to kick back and break out leads out on.

[@MrMoon-59]

Rest in peace Chris.

[@drummerboy231434]

Its awesome cuz this doesn't even sound like Chris's voice but it is. This man has the vocal range of choir.

[@manuredrum4754]

It's because he was very young when this song/album was recorded!

[@MrMoon-59]

This is from 1987!

[@swimmercags]

They opened with this song last night in Minneapolis. It was awesome!

[@christophervalentino6692]

That’s awesome. First time I’ve ever listened to the song and I really like it.

[@mannyruiz1954]

Psychedelic metal.

[@kevinmcnamara2082]

Fucking kills me he's gone.

[@podfunaug30]

after listening to soundgarden, I stopped listening to most other grunge era bands. They are musically pretty innovative, great guitar tunings, complex riffs and brooding solos, superb drumming and, of course, searing vocals

[@UnchainedMelodie92]

Soundgarden and AIC are the only true bands worth listening to from the grunge era. Of course I still hold Nirvana and PJ close to my heart, but I'd be ok if I could never listen to them again. If I could never listen to Soundgarden or AIC again, I'd probably lose my mind lol.

[@podfunaug30]

@@UnchainedMelodie92 Yes AIC is very cool too, especially Jar of Flies.

[@chrissimpson6701]

Damn Chris sounded so sexy on this song. This is what you call a sexy rock, blues song. With Sabbath influence, my kinda shit. Miss ya Chris.

[@yesfan157]

They are not, and exactly do not, sound like Dazed and Confused. From a musical theory standpoint, they intervals are literally different. They both have chromatic tendencies, and subversive blues-pentatonics, though.

[@Rocker6969]

wow, thanx for posting :) my ex gf got this cd and was missing it. too bad billions havnt heard SG and cornell, they really are the BEST of the rockers out there PERIOD ^^

[@danielblauw618]

This song fucking rocks a grunge gothic I love when chris says "hell to pay"

[@doom696mented]

Classic grunge is influenced by Black Sabbath's early 70s material.

[@bryanl.morrison552]

Incessant Bass

[@jooziejacuzi]

God damnit this is always a treat!!!

[@HEXACO]

Chris Cornell diskile this song by himself to not make it suspicious to be one of the best songs ever

[@MelBee128]

People have said this is a Dazed and Confused ripoff but I hear Black Sabbath in this more than Zep.

[@shockingbluefanandynirvana7364]

i love this and the phiric version

[@alanrobert1987]

what sexy song...

[@joegarcia9742]

An early gem.

[@NatteRoll]

That's what I called Bluesy Doom...

And broken baaacks

[@MartyFriedmanRulez66]

@lvolcu Rolling Stone, Allmusic, Kerrang!, and Piero Scaruffi (as well as me and countless other Soundgarden fans) disagree but who are we right?

[@HyperionBirb]

Awesome! Totally Hot ! alice.

[@GordonRaphael]

Kim shreds

[@rajhansakima]

Actually the first three chords of the main riff sound exactly like that of Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused."

[@robertoricci3393]

Chords that Page stole from Jake Holmes without giving him any credit

[@yetibuster]

Thanks a lot for posting this. Soundgarden are on of my all time favorite bands and a huge influnce for me, particularly their earlier stuff. You can check out my music at my channel. Peace.

[@gorkkh]

@flamingpoodleofdoom You'll get used to it. They sounded pretty much the same to me too, now this is my favorite album.

[@TheDemonAnjel]

Read Corbin Reiff's "Total F*cking Godhead" AWESOME!!!

I was thinking more of a "blues jam" by the rollins band influence

3:35 = godhead

ahahha holy fuck im dumb
