soundgarden rockumentary - 1989

found this in the archive...the "directors cut" which was later shortened to about 4 minutes....brings back some great memories...proof that jason everman was actually in SG and that the world of music and the music business was alive!

[@entertain7us148]

Damn, Chris's advanced sarcasm is one of the main things I'm really gonna miss. It seemed like at least 40% of what came out of his mouth you could never really be certain if he was being serious about or not.

I saw them on this tour; November of 1989 at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit. Best $8 I ever spent. :D

$8 that is unreal

$8?!?? That’s it! I’d pay way more lmao

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

@@sarahssentongo2587 that's it. I saw NIN at the same place 8 months later for like $12 at most.

I saw Mr Bungle and FNM there 3 times ... and many other bands but sadly never soundgarden

[@jeffbogue3718]

The only band I ever saw there was Robin Trower .I met him and got his autograph..he was a super nice Guy

[@submoronicbomb]

"good loud, but not trashy loud" - sums it up perfectly - good music is good music

Man, somebody should release a DVD from Soundgarden...with all musicvideos, interviews and such AWESOME rockumentaries...

[@marguskiis7711]

SG was already world famous 1989. I was living in Estonia, which was a part of Soviet Union those days and I heard SG from state radio station and not only one time. It was amazing, it was special, it was totally different. The term grunge appeared about 1,5 years later and NOT about Nirvana (which exploded later), it was about Soundgarden.

isn't it weird how SG went from Jason Everman to Ben Shepard when Nirvana had Everman on rhythm guitar then almost replaced him with Shepherd? Most ppl don't know that Shepard was nearly in Nirvana

[@toad2117]

Shepherd was a good guitarist but his bass playing was unmatched by other grunge artists, with Jeff Ament being slightly debatable

1:32 so young and with a voice long awaited in the rock realm.once I heard that vocal I was blown away and still am to this day! great band!

[@bogonzales672]

Old Soundgarden ruled. Saw them in 87 opening for Voivod with Faith No More. Hiro was still on bass.

[@somedaysometime]

had to be some time in 89 before jason joined because that tour was 89/90, in 1987 they had just released their first EP on Sub Pop

10 years late, born I was.

[@Fakename70]

Even though the band distanced themselves from Louder Than Love after its' release, it's still my favourite SG LP, and I can remember being totally stoked to see them have their major label breakthrough in 1989 that eventually eluded Mother Love Bone the following year.

[@slayerdearly]

Rip Chris I can't be leave your gone :(

[@veightengine]

Matt Cameron one of the best rock drummers that I´ve ever heard. Soundgarden,Gruntruck and Alice In Chains the essence of 90´s and Grunge era

they are pretty amusing. I like Matt playing Chris' leg like its a guitar !

[@ivingdeadgrrl8060]

they are all all so attractive oh my ive never seen such beautiful souls like them

[@ericcharest7687]

I saw them a little after this on loud love tour , had to drive to San Diego. Because all Los Angeles shows were sold out. They opened for Danzig and corrosion of conformity opened for them. Was Danzigs crowd, but Chris Cornell was so on that night at San Diego state university. SOUNDGARDEN Blew them all away ! Was amazing . Best band I ever saw live !

[@HaleysComet81]

well we know know Vedder stole it all from Cornell, even the rafter climbing.

[@seltzer30]

I think Vedder would openly admit that

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Well some say Chris stole from Wood, his gf included. I don't know. But I wish Vedder had plunged off a rafter in the early 90s.

[@SunofShasta]

He also stole the move of jumping into a crowd with a guitar. Cornell was the first to do that... at least in that scene.

[@entertain7us148]

i think everyone in that scene was inspired by Chris

[@leinonibishop9480]

Crown surfing, stage diving, stage climbing existed years before Chris did it. He didn’t invent it or own it. He was influenced by bands before him and so was Vedder. Nothing wrong with either of them doing that.

[@kajuku666]

Louder Than Love will ever be their best...

5:56 these guys are either psychic or from the future & came back to 1989 to see Soundgarden in their early club going days.

[@commenter6763]

They were legit, no pretense, and they were correct. I'm going with psychic.

[@krisross8818]

yes, i think its great that Hiro left and eventually formed Truly which is a superb Seatlle rock band. Ben was a huge addition to this band, he really added alot to their sound with classics like zero chance, head down, and somewhere to name a few.

[@Hybrid_Pisces]

This is gold.

[@warzIbanez]

First, I believe Hiro left to finish a Masters degree, then Jason Everman came in and was only involved in touring. They ended up having him leave since he just didn't fit in, personality-wise.

[@BloodMilkSky1969]

I saw SG last year in vegas and my mind was fucking blown as to what a great drummer he is.

[@hannapeter628]

Saying fuck 32 times in a song is okay Matt Cameron. I'm working "courgette" and "negative equity" numerous times into a single song myself.

[@jetsonic69]

WOW , 1989 and they said the word : ALTERNATIVE ROCK I guess music really was changing back when SOUNDGARDEN took over , back when Seattle grunge and the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney and Alice In Chains were revolutionizing how rock music was produced and marketed.

[@boomchicaboomboom]

Lol he said he had a lot of practice combing his hair and using a lot of conditioner( referring to his preparation for Soundgarden's mass appeal) . Kind of reminds me of some of the comments Kurt Cobain made in early Nirvana interviews. Just crazy off the wall comments.

That's because most people, when confronted by something new and original can't comprehend and make sense of it. So their feeble little minds try to relate it to something they do understand. Which for most people who can't judge new originality, means Zep or Sabbath.

haha they're playing chess!!! Axl Rose's thing was interesting - I tend not to compare the two. And since when was sounding like Led Zep so bad? ha. They are kinda like a Grunge/ late 80's/early 90's version of Zeppelin, and by that I don't mean a rip off but more that they have same position in regards to their sound relative to the rest of the scene at the time

[@herrdruhl]

kewl...

[@Andre2010]

@PGROSYE02 which proved to be more appealing with the mainstream audience and, let´s face it, more marketable by MTV and media, for better and worse. Soundgarden were always more metal and psychedelic-sounding, with a more experimental edge to their songs than Nirvana. They were a tougher act to "sell". more of an acquired taste. Ironically, they got bigger after Nevermind´s success, especially after "Superunknown", which went straigh to nº1 in the charts.

[@RenataDomarco_Arquitetura]

If this young man : Chris Cornell , could of looked into a crystal ball and saw the future, do you think he would of seen himself playing rock rap songs with the likes of Rage Against The Machine or work with Timbaland as a pop record producer?? :) its scary to see how long Soundgarden has come from its humble beginnings
