Soundgarden - Incessant Mace

These guys should be up there with sabbath and zeppelin. To me, they are even higher. More diverse, darker, more power. Rip chris, your music lives through us forever

[@chrissimpson6701]

King of Grunge, innovator and Architect of the Seattle sound, what can I say, it's been 6 years today Chris, and I'm still missing you, my heart still aches for you. Your music helped changed my life in a good way, it made me feel included, it made me feel understood, your powerful crooning and soulful screams, one of the most iconic rockstars to have ever lived, and was very easy on the eyes. I will never forget you. 5.18.23 #ChrisForever

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.

“We wrote one song called "Incessant Mace"... lyrically and vocally, it was very European Gothic. But I guess because we're American and because of our influences as kids, it sounded to people more like Sabbath or Zeppelin.” - Chris Cornell

You know you can tell a good band when their live stuff is better than the recording, as is most certainly the case here. This song is improved in every way.

Best guitarist ever!

[@IdentMusic]

In watching this, I take back every criticism of Cornell's voice I've had in the years since Euphoria Morning. When the dude gets it right, he really, really gets it right. To pull off an Ultramega OK track and have it sound so fresh, with vocals that, in my opinion, make the original pale in comparison, is wonderful; maturity, depth and a fuller sound than back in those days. He's still up there as having one the most outstanding voices of the last 30+ years, not to mention his, and the rest of the band's, outstanding songwriting to support the whole thing. Awesome.

[@scottberenyi2985]

This is a great song. I love how Kim Thayil is such a calm mellow player. He just lets his guitar play do all the talking. I never get sick of Beyond the Wheel. That is such a cool song, and Kim is always going to play it a little different each time. Absolutely my favorite band from the 90's. So glad they are keeping us all young.

[@lucasfenderjaguar]

***** He didnt. He sounds different cause he used to smoke a lot, and alcohol just make things worse. And now, he might be singing with a different technique.

This performance was outstanding. The crowd were there to see Letterman, but u could tell they were in some weird shock listening to Soundgarden blast an outrageous version of Incessant Mace. Nevermind seeing and listening to CC, the greatest vocalist of all time. Nothing compares to the moment any of us discovered this.

[@j_ko9]

I love that E5 at 7:23. It's mind blowing he can still hit that note as clean as he did in his mid-late 40s.. especially after as extensive of a career he's had of vocal belting in the 5th octaves. Vocal god

Yeah, this would definatly be a great End of the World type song. Follow it with Seasons from Cornell's solo project, Alice in Chains Love Hate Love, maybe Disgustipated off of Tools Undertow albom....great songs to vaporize to.... But I think I may have to put on Aloe Blacc's Ticking bomb. It's totally not what style music I usually listen to,, but for that style, it's dark, speaks truth, and holy F'n monkryballs, that Colored Guy can F'n sing!!

[@douglasflummer4076]

This is what happens when a really good band works on their craft, even while apart, and then comes back with a thoughtful interpretation of their older material, underlining the strength of the material and the power of their musicianship. Then, on top of that, Cornell comes in with a voice as clear as it had been in years, and improvises that high note at the end. They were at the peak of their power, and there was no telling what might have come next. Miss you, Chris.

This performance shows Soundgarden's supremacy, even after 20 years as a band they haven't become generic and in a way the masses have made them change their essence; they remain the same, obscure, quality intact, and have only improved year after year. They are untouchable in artistic terms, they are totally underrated since they became the greatest grunge band and one of the best rock bands that ever existed. Cornell with his potential vocals, matt on drums and kim on guitar are legendary when together.
