[@nealburrows8995]

[@renodavid]

Brilliant.👏

[@andreasbianconeri879]

Spoonman is Soundgarden!!

[@redarej2901]

[@homicidalghost4260]

Bit it was cool

[@cmccarthy]

Come on while I get off.

[@themrfj]

You're drunk, go back to the oracle!

[@itswhip]

This guy was the inspiration for the Soundgarden song, right?

[@carolyngutierrez9804]

He IS the Spoonman who the song was written about & performed in the recording and in the video. This performance was quite a few years ago. His name is Artis.

[@angelafgilmore]

This guy is so full of music. Yes. Soundgarden's very own Spoonman. ♡ He is a daring beautiful spirit.

[@nigrumlupus9643]

He deserves to have a song dedicated for his sake

[@SuckerFreeGear]

I agree I was just writing one about him since no one else did it, my tentative title is "utensil man" but my other band mates think "spoon" is better. We do early 90's grunge type of sounds. Hopefully it works out.

[@CowboyNate_]

Oh boy do i have a song for you

[@SuckerFreeGear]

@@outshined1337 Nonsense! What are you talking about? I said I'm writing the first song about this guy, no one else is.

[@Purplepawss]

better then Justin bieber.

[@heavenlypurple1]

I met him this weekend in Port Townsend he was at the blues festival workshop. We didn't talk soundgarden though but I got advice from him because I'm learning to play percussion using things like spoons and bones. He gave me tips and told how long he's been playing. Really sweet man!!!

[@eldonsleight]

a most amazing performance...second to none...you dance like a whirling dervish....such true beauty of crafted randomness spills from your inner beauty....you have no idea what an inspiration you are to me artis.....you are a true artist in the most purest form.....a lot of musicians can say alot of things about chords and theory...about right and wrong....they put shit over shit....and try to hide it....but one things for certain......stunning performances like these.....don't walk by everyday.

[@HoseMark]

This guy used to play on the street in Ptld OR @ the Saturday Mkt. - Glad to see him get some recognition!

[@homicidalghost4260]

That's some talent right there One day I'm gonna go to the mall and do this because I find this really cool

[@sigma11011]

Shit gets real @ 1:53

Shame on the 6 people who disliked this video. Shame on you.

[@joeledwardgunscristinoponc983]

Now are 10

[@AllManCorp]

This bit of recognition he received in 1988. 20 years ago. when did you see him in Portland ? where is he now ?

[@breakfastplan4518]

The best to ever do it. His name is Artis and he is a Seattle legend. Incredible soul.

[@Uvisir]

[@tewstronge9173]

[@a8127]

@HoseMark He was given HUGE recognition by the band SOUNDGARDEN , they wrote a song about him....called , wait for it...... Spoonman :-)

[@cathycolson382]

I spoke to Artis last I believe this year in PT at the downtown pharmacy........he is if nothing else a very unique person with great humble persona

[@sambac2053]

And Don Alias on Conga

[@shannonbowman5990]

😊

[@IMaiden89]

Anybody know the year?

[@AllManCorp]

1989. "Night Music" NBC

[@phnigra111]

@@AllManCorp so cool! I remember night music! They had old school RHCP, Sonic Youth, Screaming jay Hawkins, the Residents, etc.. good stuff 😊

[@jakehawthorn]

Is that Don Alias on conga?

[@zgress]

Yes

[@javaknowledge]

Ummmm...soooo...I guess I should be in awe of this "art". Trying. Trying so hard my spleen hurts but......no.....just no.

[@___xyz___]

What are you talking about? It makes a sound, it makes a rhythm; it's an instrumentalism and a practice, in other words it's an art. You don't need an acoustics or arts degree to recognize that fact. The word "art" means only that, a skill or a craft.

[@roknrolbilly]

my freind artis!👋✌🎼🎵🎶

[@whythewar1]

Did you watch ANY of the other 70 percent of the video?

[@edospartan2854]

save me with yourrr haaannddd

[@Neilhouse5]

In Bremerton, WA.

[@JoeyKane]

yeah the songs not about artis. It's about drugs... "spoon", and artis actually got a shit deal out of the sound garden track. he deserved more. How do I know? he's one of our closest family friends and talk to him on regular occasions. H eplayed whilst sitting next to me in a car.
