Soundgarden - "Ugly Truth" - Lollapalooza '92

[@SpicyPants]

This was the best show I ever attended in my 45 years. I was 20 years old. My brother (RIP) was 19. We were up front, and let me tell you, that pit was a muddy, nasty mess. You had to literally lock arms with your buddy, because if you didn't the crowd would carry you away. And you had better not fall, or you'd be screwed. I also recall Ben getting into a fight with someone in the crowd, and him screaming, "Fuck you!" over and over to the dude while flipping him off. He was fired up! It was fucking awesome. One of the best days of my life. Saw Soundgarden/Cornell 4 more times, but this was by far the best.

Soundgarden isn't just a band... It's the way of life. Great song.

[@JD-zd8tm]

Not even Freddie Mercury could sing his songs like this

[@KobySGSRV]

Kicks ass! Great show his voice was fucking amazing

[@sarahboller5912]

Chris was golden ~♡☆!🖤

[@gimmetehroids]

Long time SG fan but just discovered the brilliance of this song. new favorite.

[@4345ghee]

the sound just floods my brain...it's amazingness.

[@minihats]

Interesting hearing Chris singing Louder than Love songs after 1991 or so, because his voice had matured so much.

[@KobySGSRV]

Simply amazing!

[@asdfffytr]

[@AudioFantasy]

[@gunzero7]

[@topdogkiller]

[@aeternalequinox]

the chord progression at 6:17 is amazing.. different from the studio version i love it.

[@ZapataRusty]

NO COPY!! SOUNDGARDEN SOUND!!

[@sum2us]

I would like to die right now if I could relive those days once again.

[@lookinCAfeelingMN]

Dam I thought I was the only one who felt that way

[@mjdomicello]

I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK (AS PART OF MY GENIE WIH LIST) INTIME A RELIVE LED SEP; THE QUEEN; JOY DICISION, SOUNDGARDEN & NIRVANA IN THEIR HEYDAYS

[@juandigreat87]

Gwen thanks for all these great videos you uploaded, please put more of this show.

[@SavageListener]

I love these great songs that main stream doesn't know about.

[@SInmon-gq8xe]

I was there!!

[@JoeSidhu]

Just an off day. He's still a brilliant vocalist. I'd kill for that voice.

[@weskoki]

Who could sing this song other than Chris? Great~

[@cappz]

killer song! post more of this show soon! cheersss

[@melfre2004]

I was here front and center when I was 12..best times!!

[@Fakename70]

BOSS!!!

[@nemteligo]

Please man, send that live version to me. I'm searching that for years.

[@pattonPwr]

ENORMES.

[@kiracameron7078]

LOL My Husband Justin J. Sanders the singer of our Band Soundgarden I'm the Singer too We like to Watch Nacho Libre we bought the DVD Twice from The Exchange

[@Kreepyb5]

Love

[@CSWRB]

I've never seen ChrisCornell when he didn't look good as ....um, well, what you said. If only you knew what torturous pleasure straight females feel when looking at him (*eyes glaze over, shakes head and sighs*). The vocal talent draws you in, and then, after you actually get a look at him, it's all over after that. LOL! (But hey, I'm sure you are just as handsome. ;) And you definitely have major cojones to make a statement about another guy looking good!)

[@1112eminem]

I think he sounds better now rather than then because his voice now suites that song

[@perincito]

that's how we liked it back in those days, kenny. rough & real. biggest rock upset since the beatles toppled elvis. these bands changed the rules.

[@tanvo93]

@douchedouche123321 i just saw them live 2 days ago and it sounds like his voice is like a muscle..the more he works on it the stronger it gets..and his voice was better than ever then..and they played a 2n half hour show

[@seahawk75]

The Cult and Soundgarden are the two favourite bands from my youth. They toured Europe along with Pearl Jam back in 92 as well. Great times. In truth, Soundgarden were always the greater artists. Early Cult stuff was massively influential on the alternative rock movement of the time though.

[@MewCun]

Brilliant.

[@soundgardener75]

Chris' voice was changing at the time. Big difference between Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger. One's voice can only last as long, unlike any other instrument.

[@drewfuss2006]

Does anyone have the pro shot version of this song from 10/26/1989 NY,NY. I think it was for the New Music Awards. Great version, i have the mp3 but not the video!

[@sex0drugs0and0rock]

THSI VIDEO IS EPIC

[@philfly66]

Very cool! Not only did he tear his larynx, he started smoking pretty heavy, too. That's why his voice didn't sound as strong, after Superunknown. Still, one of the best rock vocalists of all time!

[@soundgardener75]

Well, unfortunately, around Superunknown, he blew out his voice, since he never had a real vocal training. He's still a great entertainer, to be able to last about 2 hours singing within his entire catalog (SG, TOTD, AS, solos), is commendable.

[@JoeSidhu]

Thayil = Guitar GOD

[@ThePimperor]

great song, but I saw them at the Walnut Creek Amphitheater in Charlotte, NC for this tour, and they were much more on point there. Amazing renditions of every song.

[@Boganator4]

@GHEE4345 Chris tore his larynx? Damn that sucks.

[@pwarren1010]

Ive commented on that too and I get alot of angry emails.But its true he tends to blow his voice often.

[@WalterWillems]

Some instruments get better with age, like a Stradivarius violin.

[@Zooropa420]

EPIC! Yes, his singing starts out rough, but he hits most of the notes once the song gets going.

[@JoeSidhu]

that's true. lol did you see him skip around at 6:20? lmao That's enjoying your music.

[@tehawes0mesauce]

i noticed that too. either that or just not proper warm ups and not proper vocal maintanence.

[@Boganator4]

@GHEE4345 Chris tore his larynx?

[@Superunknown190]

True true, whats TOTD?

[@song6garden]

I too, am a straight female, WELL put DITTO everthing u said He's unbelievably HOT once you do that initial doubletake, so true its O-V-E-R! \m/

[@Fakename70]

Depends on who you catagorise as "psycho". But, his influence on, say, Adam Jones, was always apparent early on and straight away for those paying attention.

[@goladen]

everyone always comments about chris. Yeah great singer.. Matt cameron is the Man of this band holds bottom end down.. He is without a doubt one of the better drummers on single kick

[@JoeSidhu]

This is how he used to sing for Louder Than Love. He changed the way he hit higher notes for Badmotorfinger. But his voice does seem a little thicker than normal here. It sounds too screamy. . . too gargled, I guess. Those higher notes at 3:05 sound great though.

[@ShannonKeith73]

I can tell he was sick or tired existed and thats why his voice sounds run down, But i saw Sound Garden live a year or so before this, they opened up for Skid Row(Half the stadium walked out after sound garden) and his voice sounded great just like the album and better. It was a Solid straight hour of non stop early sound Garden.Oh they so blew Skid row off the stage, ha ha ha

[@emotivedonkey]

for all of those saying Chris can't sing, watch Motorvision. It will knock your fucking teeth out.

[@worthlessburger7]

Before I say this, know that I'm a heterosexual male. Chris Cornell looks good as fuck here.

[@vinyldiary6664]

Same Brother! But fuck I ride on it

[@remithelizard]

The weirdness in his voice is mostly the wobbling of the obviously old VHS Tape...

[@the13green]

what happened?

[@fender7682]

man ben shepard really plays his bass really low its like a foot below his waist

[@Boganator4]

5:26 sounds funny. lol. Chris sounded like a drunk karaoke trying to scream. So you all know I'm not a hater. I personally love SG.

[@minihats]

Haha, thats brilliant.

[@NOC4SFV]

hahaha, chris thinks he's underwater at 6:40 :D

[@karyn27]

This song is ace. Shame about the sore throat.

[@mistifais]

that was the way he used to sing before badmotorfinger

[@pattonPwr]

Ben FKN' Shepherd

[@Monchi2006]

damn i dont know why...but i sure like poor video quality,and poor audio quality as well

[@CSWRB]

:)

[@Hugolastra]

por eso se le chingaron las cuerdas vocales XD

[@mariselachavez]

chris cornell was a hottie back then

[@MewCun]

He was/is very hit and miss with is vocals. Maybe it was the lifestyle..

[@Superunknown190]

@ 1:34 "A PENIS"

[@str8bttr]

...any live music kicks ass over any studio recording...it's raw and the only reason they choose to be a band and play in the first place...if any band copy cats any other band in history....then they all copy Elvis and the Beatles....zip it....already...

[@Superunknown190]

Awesome shit. Too bad Chris broke up 2 awesome bands and now he's doing Pop with Timbaland.

[@theend92]

6 people need their hearing checked.

[@lethe2008]

it's rude voice that hurts

[@heathermacpherson8489]

dude.

[@WalterWillems]

His vocals are ugly! What the hell was Chris thinking. Maybe his monitor speaker wasn't working that day. Painful to watch. Butt what a great sound, Soundgarden's best.

[@kushisaac]

an off vocal day

[@jjmklauwn]

ok thats why he sounds so terrible live

[@coldacre]

pfffff.... Soundgarden are 100 times better than Sabbath.

[@ABTE67]

a black sabbath copy

[@vinyldiary6664]

LOL

[@ABTE67]

the cult is so much better billy duffy is so much better guitar man que "tahjyill"
