Hey kids, what did you do at school today? Oh not much, just played fucking Spoonman with Matt Cameron.

[@steveperry650]

The kids sound great and really nail this song. Matt is such a class act as he becomes part of the band for this song. Love it!

[@neiljohnkeithpeartbonhammo6222]

Too True!😛😛😛😛👍

[@martinkriletich3635]

It's funny how Matt doesn't look like a musician at all, but in fact he is one of the greatest drummers ever

[@bodhisattva99]

What does a musician look like?

[@joshualessore7652]

like Baba ghanoush on a warm meridian sunday

I know what you mean. He dresses like a regular dad.

Martin Kriletich looks dont mean shit man haha obviously you never did shows with other bands or if you have you're a poser for thinking this way lol

[@phnigra111]

I like how Matt plays very simple fills ( by his standards) and counts down consistently throughout the song so they dont get lost.. Everyone sounded awesome !!

[@vk3fbab]

Yes spot on. Playing time in the hats and things like that Matt had nothing to prove so he played the parts that were going to be most likely to succeed with the band. I thought the kit might sound terrible but that didn't happen. Great drummers are selfless.

[@AdamJ11]

@@vk3fbab The crash on Matt’s left was too bright for me. Everything else was actually pretty good

[@loudloveen]

I got very emotional watching this. The world needs more female rock singers, Miranda. Keep it at it.

[@chrisg7731]

@@mirandakitchmusic hey man, you had some power in your voice all those years ago. Just checked you out doing "Crazy on you" and that was great, too. Hope you're still making music. Don't know if you ever dabbled with some Alice in Chains, but you'd probably kill an AiC cover like "Love Hate Love" or "Would?" Could see you being good in a doom/sludge project, though that would be completely different stylistically. Be good. If you see this comment and have a link to your Facebook, share it. I'll follow.

Matt Cameron-the human metronome. I wonder if those kids realize how lucky they were to play with him. Also, that was pretty cool move by Matt to play with them. If they don't appreciate it now, they will when they're older.

I know right??? ... so spoiled

[@headlight31]

I think the crickets were the result of clueless parents who had no clue one of the best modern rock drummers ever was in their presence.

Imagine being the bass player and Matt Cameron gives you the nod to come in. Awesome.

[@RRTNZ2]

Great how Cameron shows those kids such respect by coming out and giving his best -but without trying to take over, what a classy dude ! Of course we're all waiting for the drum solo, aren't we. What a treat!

[@RRTNZ]

The drum solo at 4:07 is a little reminder about how Awesome Matt is! A lot of Soundgarden songs rely on his driving beat - especially Burden in My Hand.

[@watermelonface10]

The singer is ace!

[@fonsecorona]

Emma Thomas Yes, but they took off a lot of her effort by not giving her enough volume on her mic.. What happened there?? She was obviously pretty good, but we can barely hear her voice! 😨

THE LEAD HITS ALL OF CORNELL'S HIGH NOTES. VERY GOOD. THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER POSTED ALL TIME! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED AND I WISH I WAS THERE! I'M NOT YELLING. THIS IS LEGIT.

singer was great. chris' stuff is hard to sing. that was great.

aggroed Even harder when you have to strain yourself to compensate for a freaking mic with no volume! 😡 Her voice is great, but you can hardly hear it!....Who is this girl anyway?...you can tell she was very excited to sing with him...And, don't you guys get me wrong here...he's a great drummer, and he really nailed it..with accolades...And I think it's wonderful he's doing this with these kids, but...This girl wouldn't even get a hug from him at the end?...Or at least a hand shake?..Come on, man...she deserved it... I'm sure Chris would agree... ☺

[@naccibobacci]

Very cool, reminds me just how infectious Kim Thayil's riffs are.

[@maninblack9850]

naccibobacci This is Cornell's riff......most of Soundgarden's music was written by Chris

[@mattfoley1207]

This was indeed Chris's riff, complimented by a ripping Kim solo, well-fitting back-up vocals, and outstanding performances from entire band. However, contrary to one commenter above, Soundgarden were a BAND! They wrote in many different configurations of 1, 2's, 3's, and at least once or twice per album, all four collaboratively, in a way few great bands have done since the Beatles. Look at the credits in the liner notes of each record, or just check the band wikipedia - they were hardly "the Chris Cornell show". Not a single member was unimportant or replaceable, and all are incredible idiosyncratic writers with powerful, mesmerizing stage presence - passionate performers.

[@billyhughes9776]

This is so great -- those kids just kill it. What a treat to have one of the best rock drummers on the planet play with you.
