Soundgarden Talk Johnny Cash & Perform "Rusty Cage" // SiriusXM // Town Hall

[@michiganweather]

Matt Cameron’s approach is so incredible. The power, the time, the fluid fills that just completely flow and don’t distract from the rhythmic structures inside of each song.. Hugely underrated.

[@NilsDervinger]

You ask any pro and Matt Cameron is top top top. Plays what's required for the music. Technically insane and just effortless. When guys like Taylor Hawkins (RIP) are like dude does shit we can only dream of , you know he's an all-timer. I could listen to him all day

[@anthonypayne2526]

Absolutely! He's in my top 5 all time.

[@vl292]

That’s the thing that impresses me most. Cameron does not sound like he’s playing weird stuff. Carey has same fluid style. There are technical drummers that have no sense what serves the songs and what sounds musical. It just sticks out and sounds odd. Cornell was also on par dealing with complex rythms while singing.

[@deadstar44]

How can Cornell sing while playing the main riff? It's like he sings in one time signature and the riff plays in another. And then the outro sludgy riff, it constantly throws you off. Mind-boggling and he does it effortlessly. What a loss of a pure talent, songwriting, guitar-playing and singing all rolled into one handsome package of a man.

[@MitchLyskKane]

It’s called practice

[@krissymissy1888]

deadstar44 He was a badass that's why! He deff will be missed!

[@lanstarphoenix3998]

deadstar44 Tom Morello said that he had a hard time on a few songs audioslave did just for that reason. He had his own style for sure RUSTY CAGE seems that way to me.

[@Augfordpdoggie]

just imagine if he was geddy lee, who does the same thing and plays keyboards with his feet at the same time, then, will play keyboards with his hands, bass notes with his feet and sing all in one song

[@GuccioneAle]

😢

[@sbrave]

Amazing how he can play that riff and sing something totally different.

[@pinchegreg1]

[@MeanderingSlacker]

Guitar gets like driving a car after you do it enough, as does singing.

[@AllOneVoice]

I'm convinced Matt Cameron is one of the more inventive and talented drummers in popular music. He's just so so good and different with all of his grooves and fills. Nothing feels generic

[@mattmarkus4868]

I don't know a good drummer who doesn't agree. He's badass. Seeing him live is such a thrill.

[@NerfYashru]

MRLein93 playing and singing this song at the same time is actually really difficult, specially doing it as great as Chris used to do

[@queensinthesky]

Matt Cameron is just so damn good. Definitely one of the most important drummers in rock for the last 30 years having drummed for and written songs for Soundgarden and Pearl Jam for so long.

[@ThiagodMoraes]

He's that good,i saw him playing a gig,my reaction was holy shit this man is a beast!!

[@nightsonnyjim]

I could watch him play Jesus Christ Pose all day!

[@hanscollins1413]

Such a ripping song

[@jacksonwolfe8517]

The fact he'll slip into 7 or 5 so easily is amazing.

[@ashleywolff2299]

The loss of Chris hit me harder than any musician ever. Still makes me sad as i sit here on lockdown in 2020. Soundgarden got me through school and changed the way i thought about making music.

[@vm2032]

Same! Only recently has it "sunk in" and is believable that he is really gone. Still not easily accepted and still a HUGE bummer knowing there will never be more of his great (new) work released.

@@eliborg Yes, I recently read about that. What a mess......crossing my fingers on that one. How exhausting it must be when involved in so many lawsuits and constantly bickering with everyone.

[@RAIDOVERMOSCOW1]

I hear ya...never really bothers me too much when a celeb or artist dies but Chris Cornell hit me hard and still does when I think about it or listen to him. Still doesn't seem real. So, so sad. I wanted to be him when I was a teenager and to think someone who appears to have it all - one of the greatest voices in music, looks, a beautiful family and to still not be happy inside - a scary thought! His lyrics make more sense now, to me. RIP, man, a true legend x

[@jonathanpiedrahitavilla4410]

Matt Cameron is THE MAN, one of the most complete drummers of the last 30 years.

[@salmonskate]

It’s fucked to think Matt is originally a guitar player and basically drums on the side. What a fucking beast. Soundgarden really was one of a kind, all 4 super talented musicians.

[@withmygoodeyeclosed]

And Chris was a drummer and guitar player/singer on the side (in the beginning lol). Yeah crazy, but it also explains why Matt wrote such great songs and why Chris came up with some quirky time signatures on some songs he wrote.

[@salmonskate]

@@withmygoodeyeclosed in my eyes they are Rush level

[@Ariel_thenotsolittlemermaid]

To me, Soundgarden always felt like a supergroup even though they technically weren't- Kim is such a great guitarist, Matt is such a great drummer, Ben is such a great bassist and Chris was such a great singer that it's insane to think they just got together organically.

[@ytdarkwaterblue6082]

Soundgarden are just timeless. Sound as good as they did 20 years ago.

[@ledsabbazepplath3889]

Yeah, after more than a decade of break, they kept their old sound with King Animal. Unbelievable

[@tracyjohnson5023]

They are. It’s a crime that they’re still not in the rock hall of fame

[@emeraldcelestial1058]

imo they sounded better than they ever did. they went out on top

[@DocHoliday444]

The way Chris could keep that unusual rhythm going and sing at the same time is really amazing...

[@ssonicdeafmonkey]

Matt's cymbals and snare sound so fucking good here.

[@TheNeurotik]

As much as I'm mesmerized by Chris's spot on performance, Matt's drumming is just phenomenal!

[@adsensedd]

[@Mrevits78]

One of the greatest voices in my generation. My wife and I still miss him terribly. He brought authentic soul to every song he performed, even when it was a half-ass inside joke like "Big Dumb Sex." Very few bands like Soundgarden have ever hit hard like this after such a long hiatus, but when I saw them in Newark NJ at the Prudential, I was lifted...the entire crowd was into it, and you could feel the feedback. It was utterly amazing, shoulder to shoulder with everyone there, and the set list alone demonstrated a love and passion that I'll remember for the rest of my life.
