[@drvitorhugoc]

They were the best rock band of the 90s, and the best of grunge. Alice In Chains was cool because it had Layne Stanlley and today Jerry Cantrell can't hold it together, SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

​@@drvitorhugoc Thank you for describing my favorite band of all time so perfectly. There is nothing I can add to your excellent, eloquent description of these absolute mad-lads of the '90s grunge era so, I shall thank you again, THANK YOU so much. I got to see my Soundgarden bros during this awesome Badmotorfinger Tour when they came thru Nashville, Tennessee at the Municipal Auditorium. They killed it. Just a week before we lost Chris Cornell I took my 12yr old son to see Soundgarden play in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with Dillinger Escape Plan opening. We have excellent pics and even better memories from that show and when people ask him what his first live show/band/concert was he can hold his head high and say, "It was Soundgarden and they kicked ass".

[@slbslayer]

don´t Forget pearl jam,candlebox and rage against the machine

[@USCFlash]

Vinter Sorg....Dude come on...I was 20 in 1992...I was a huge Nirvana fan...I also love Soundgarden and like a lot of AIC...but there was no "great injustice" done to Soundgarden or AIC....both bands got critical acclaim, huge fanbases and sold tons of records. Great injustice is bands like Mudhoney or the Melvins never making it huge, while Billy Ray Cyrus does. The media choice was actually Pearl Jam. Nirvana got the most attention because they were the first to break through, had the catchiest tunes and because Kurt was such a presence. They deserved that attention. Soundgarden has and always has gotten a lot of respect, especially by Nirvana fans like me. Nirvana and the guys in Soundgarden were friends, the guys in Soundgarden respected them and were completely blown away when suddenly Nirvana made it through. The attention and glare that Nirvana brought to the genre benefited Soundgarden, AIC and all the other Seattle bands, not to mention alternative music in general and thank goodness for that, since i was pretty damn sick of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.

[@NARKISDUDE]

I think its all about what the band did to expose themselves more. nirvana and pearl jam both probably contacted MTV to do the unplugged show that year, and SG perhaps didn't yet want that exposure, or MTV thought their sound is too heavy. it's sad, but MTV has a say on what kids/people will like.

[@USCFlash]

NARKISDUDE Well let's not say Nirvana "contacted" MTV to do MTV Unplugged...in fact, the relationship between Nirvana and MTV was in the toilet because Nirvana was furious at MTV because of their behavior. Nirvana did not want to go to the MTV Video music Awards that September (1993) and MTV threatened them by saying not that they would never play Nirvana videos again, but that MTV would never play *ANY* videos by other groups that Nirvana's management, Gold Mountain represented... MTV's behavior was despicable.

[@NARKISDUDE]

tnx for the info, now I hate these mo'fuckers even more (MTV) other than that, my point was that it's good publicity you know, to have lots of music videos etc., even if it means selling out and at times shorten the length of the song because THEY think its too long. unless you're Justin Timberlake and in that case a 10 minute video is peachy(: ...

[@jlemans4831]

Almost 30 years ago. I gave good memories about it. I was at there. I did not know Soundgarden yet but for me the best performance at the festival. I remember the lighting whe they were playing. I also met a very nice girl there and am still with here today!

[@Stanimal62]

How lucky is Matt Cameron?? Plays with two of the best bands ever!

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

They're both lucky to have him. Someone has to replace him though on Soungarden 2014 dates, he had to choose one or the other this time and he picked PJ. Good luck finding somebody to play his parts correctly...

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

***** Yeah, they got Matt Chamberlain for all the tour dates this year. It's hard, Soundgarden are touring right now to support the 20th anniversary of Superunknown, but Pearl Jam are touring for their new album, and they both are pretty heavy tours that would probably be logistically and physically impossible to coordinate, so Matt chose to go with PJ.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

***** I don't know if you're a drummer or not, but a Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Temple of the Dog tour would absolutely murder him. He's 50 years old now, and it's not like he's playing smooth jazz or anything, it's hard rock and it's very tiring to play an hour long set, let alone a 3 hour long set. With two different bands.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

***** Nothing like that, I don't think he likes one band more than the other, he still played with Soundgarden at the two shows this year where they played Superunknown in full and on the Tonight Show, he just can't do both at the same time. He also cited his decision on wanting to still have time available with his family as well.

[@NilsHedstrom]

[@drvitorhugoc]

They were the best rock band of the 90s, and the best of grunge. Alice In Chains was cool because it had Layne Stanlley and today Jerry Cantrell can't hold it together, SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

[@drone2778]

Perhaps he never got a lot of mainstream credit, but he got a lot of respect from other members of the band.

I'm confident there are bands in basements, garage's, banging music like this out there. It's a shame the Industry doesn't let this shit through anymore! Cornell was definitely one of the best vocalists of ALL time! Fucking commercialism!

[@AMetalheadsJourney]

I am not so sure if there are bands out there doing this. Today it's all about, I'll be in a band for 6 months and if we are not playing Madison Square Garden then I'll move on to something else. The fans and industry aren't there to support bands. So band members move on and get on with their life. Or they simply copy another band verbatim. People today are more concerned with making it than the art portion of it.
