I've always wondered that did they share rhythm guitar parts on the studio albums? I think Cornell wrote most of the riffs or am I wrong? A nice touch that while the song is heavy and doomy Kim's lead is in major scale.
@@petrilampelafrom what I understand, everybody wrote riffs and bass lines (yes, even Matt Cameron), but Cornell was the main composer (and most likely the reason they used so many weird tunings).
Came to say the same. I don't know if it's who I surround myself with, or what - but I don't hear much love for Kim Thayil. I think the thing with him is that he very rarely grabs for the cliche. Like Judson was saying, he makes a sound familiar enough that you're comfortable with it to the point of thinking you know where he's going... then he doesn't. And his choices in tone... anyway. One of my favorite guitarists. Next time, let's talk about Matt Cameron...
You guys do so many things right - not begging for likes - not pausing the song - choosing good songs, not just hits - real discussion that can go anywhere - great intros by Judson I've been turned on to several bands i didnt know of, I love both of your taste in music, love your humor and realness, and love your moms.. I never miss a video
And hilariously was only the vocalist instead of staying as the drummer (!!) because they got tired of interviewing or looking for a vocalist. They didn’t realize Chris had that voice at the start of band.
Not the biggest Soundgarden expert, but the song Tighter & Tighter from Down on the Upside, has always been one of my favorite. Last quarter of the song is a guitar solo with Chris singing over it like only he can, it moves me every time I hear it.
@@Greatmeasures It means a lot to me too, because I love heavy metal this much and know what it deserves, but we're getting caught up on cliches too often to get a bit deeper.
I enjoy your channel so much. Living in a family enjoying metal, rock and classical music you make me chuckle a lot. Also your philosophy is strong sometimes. Big love to you
"Beyond the Wheel" - "Mood for Trouble" both spectacular examples of some of the points Judson hit here. The Ultramega OK album is a gem! You can hear so many of their musical influences in this album.
When I heard superunknown for the first time, it was the song "like suicide" which really caught my attention. A slow song and and awesome wailing solo which still gives me goosebumps.
If you liked this style, you can checkout the following: - Mailman - similar vibe and some fun lyrics to chew on - Fresh Tendrils - great guitarwork - Tighter & Tighter - great song, a perfect blend between the "popular" Soundgarden and the songs above and 4th of July.
It's the subtleties in guitar and bass lines that make this song, with Chris's warm vocals mixed in with a slow deathly beat that makes this thing such an amazing oddball of a song. I can't get enough of it. It's other worldly. They must have been tripping when they came up with this, it's so offbeat and beautiful at the same time. I've never heard anything like it.
I get so happy when I see people discovering absolute gems from the great Soundgarden. They are hugely underrated and are my favorite from the Seattle bunch. Off this same album check out an absolute banger called Superunknown or Mailman. Thank you for this channel, you guys are the best out there by far. You actually have knowledge about music, and meaning..
Man, I forgot about this song until it came on and then I instantly remembered all of it. My poor brain has done some living since the 90s but buddy has it survived on some good jams.
Kim has said that his Indian DNA comes out in his playing for tones and modal scales. He’s also a huge fan of Tony Iommi, Ace Frehley and Johnny Ramone.
I love that you found this gem! First I will say that the 2nd half of the superunknown album is like Chris was talking to me. Love all those songs. Second, guitar solos could have been Chris or Kim. And I don't know well enough to know usually when that happens. When Kim goes off, then it's obvious as Kim as a unique expression. And last, Rick Beato interviewed Michael Beinhorn who produced superunkown. That was an interesting interview and definitely shed a lot of light on that process. Thank you for this!
Superunknown is one of the greatest albums ever. It’s jammed packed full of great songs. To me Fresh Tendrils is the stand out track. I highly recommend that one.. or maybe a whole album review would be great too
it took me forever to realize that chris was singing both parts. i thought for sure when this album came out that Kim or another band member sang the low part. this song still haunts me 30 years later. outstanding album!
You can't go wrong with Soundgarden and neither can you go wrong with Obituary. Come on Richard, get Mr Judson into Obituary the legends of the Florida death metal scene. You guys are awesome. Love the analyzes afterwards. Keep them coming please🤘
That song gives my shivers down my back whenever I hear it but that era was so saturated with amazing music imagine being 13/14 pre internet liking girls liking sports and not enough time for all of the good music but sound garden was one of them. The transition from their metal days badmotorfinger to grunge to post grunge was all amazing I don't think they have bad songs man just listen to them all
I worry. The most important thing in our lives in the 90s, was music. Things are changing, i appreciate that this is being shared with people who are interested in discovering new/old music.b
You guys have described exactly how I always felt but couldn't put into words. One of those albums I wish I'd bought back then but couldn't afford. I think I first bought it a decade later
Man that was a great conversation. Might be the most I've ever thought about that song before. And some Kim Thayil love, hell yea. That opening riff took me from 'yeah i know some Soundgarden songs' to being INTO them, full stop, tip to taint. It's a worthwhile rabbit hole to go down! *Richard* - I feel like our tastes are similar. Think you guys would really dig "Mailman," "Like Suicide," and "Superunknown" (among...everything else). Bon voyage, bitches!
Judson ❤ Kim 4ever. What a lovely surprise of song choice! There are few songs as downright sludgy as this one and I'm not surprised it caught your ear. This album has so many great songs and my least favourite without doubt is Black Hole Sun haha! The thing with Soundgarden's song writing is that they wrote the music that they wanted to and (for the most part) it didn't matter whether the audience liked it. That's why it's almost impossible to characterise them and why some of their stuff is just plain weird. I'm not going to recommend a next track to listen to (although Like Suicide touches places most other songs can't), but I would recommend that you listen to all of Badmotorfinger and Superunknown several times just for the sheer joy of exploring this most excellent musical force. Then explore everything else they've done. It's all good, but you gotta start somewhere!
This song was almost a tattoo. Now im in control, now I'm in the fall-out, Once asleep but now i stand. Judson's monologue in and around the 23/24 minute mark. I wrote very similar interpretations in my diary back in 94!
This song blew my mind the first time I heard it in about 2002, and it still just melts me every time I hear it. Cornell is one of my biggest influences as a songwriter, and this one's a masterpiece. Loved what you guys said about Kim Thayil, too. To me there was always something angular or a little eschew about his soloing, in all the best ways. He's always coming in with a rhythm that is just a bit off from what the band is playing, or with strange note choices that - on paper - SHOULDN'T work, but with him it always does. It's like he's the only one who can see that there's an optical illusion, so he's able to break the rules in a way that nobody else could. For a song that scratches the same kind of musical itch as this song, I'd recommend "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" from the Badmotorfinger album (1991). For a less-riffy song that taps into the same vibe, I'd recommend the album closer from Superunknown, "Like Suicide". To my mind, that was the greatest song Cornell ever wrote.
One of my favourite albums of all time, it's a 10/10 for me, you should react to more songs from it! Like suicide, limo wreck, head down, fresh tendrils, the day I tried to live
Any Soundgarden is gold! Just listened to (one of many) the acoustic for Fell On Black Days, you guys should check it out even just to listen, great rendition...
If you really liked 4th of July, you guys should give a listen to "limo wreck", "fresh tendrils",or "let me drown", ... all from Superunknown. these are not so popular but I think you might like it... 😁
I love Kim Thayills style. It’s got eastern and orient styles and intervals which I’m partial towards and he loves odd tunings which are all a win in my book
Keep it up with the Soundgarden reactions, please! The Day I Tried to Live, Just Like Suicide, and Fell on Black Days. Check out Alice in Chains as well. They're my two favorite Grunge bands!
May I add Switch opens and Overfloater? They are also hauntingly beautiful, just like the songs you mentioned. Like Suicide i wanna hear at my funeral.
@@Jadawin-kk3fzcool to see DOTU songs mentioned, Pretty Noose, Zero Chance, BUTOW, Burden, Applebite, Tighter and Boot Camp are amazing songs that are overshadowed by Superunknown
Kim is obviously the guitairst, as is Chris, and i think Chris wrote this track. All 4 members had their own publishing titles. One of the reasons that made em so special.
A lot of people are gonna recommend their earlier material, but despite it being their "hit" album I really do think Superunknown is also their best. The sludgy, heavy guitar work from Chris and Kim is SO good paired with his vocals. Try a couple of the non-singles, like "Limo Wreck", "Mailman", or the title track. Just perfect. Thanks for diving deep into this one, guys!
Love y’all’s videos you guys do a great job. Your channel is becoming my favorite reaction content. My I suggest kingfish empty promise live believe it was in Nashville the one I’m think of. If you havnt heard this kid play event if you don’t do a video check him out he’s a fantastic blues player with a great voice. Keep the great content coming!
It's so nice when someone understands Soundgarden and why they truly are amazing. Like Suicide has my favorite Kim Thayil guitar solo. He doesn't really play "solos" like other guitar players. I remember him calling his playing coloring. (Or something like that.) If you listen to Like Suicide, just know the song is about a bird that flew into his window, which you can't tell from the song unless you know. Check out that solo though, it's glorious!
I love this song. I think Room a thousand years wide from Badmotorfinger is the for bearer of this song. Similar placement on the album too. Keep up the good work.
Could've also been visuals from street and car lights looking like 4tth of July. If you haven't checked out The Pretty Reckless the song Only Love Can Save Me Now is a deep song and video that features Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron from Soundgarden not to long after Chris died. Lead singer writer Taylor Momsen looked up to Chris and was possibly the last person to talk to him. You guys would definitely love the song.
The thing is with Soundgarden is that they were so prolific because everyone in the band was a songwriter so they didn’t have a fixed sound every song sounded different from any other but of course had the same dna of the members of the band that you could tell it was Soundgarden
All of their songs sound Soundgarden, no matter who was the one who put more into each one. Because they only went with the ones thay they worked as a band, together, until they all liked it. Got to love that.
I think you're right about that CREAM tone or style there. Good one 👍 Your guys banter and talk is good. These guys play together like Zeppelin, not so much in their technicality but definitely chemistry wise...great band....
Jeez, guys. I was a Pearl Jam kid too but how could you not branch out into Soundgarden back then? 😆 This was the first CD I ever bought. You're right though, this song does hold up very well for being as old as it is. Have you guys ever checked out Badmotorfinger? Some great stuff on there as well.
I'll list off two songs from each album: Ultramega OK - Beyond the Wheel, Smokestack Lightning Louder Then Love - Big Dumb Sex, Hands All Over Badmotorfinger - Room A Thousand Years Wide, Holy Water Superunkown - Mailman, Fresh Tendrils Down On The Upside - Tighter and Tighter, Overfloater King Animal - Eyelid's Mouth, Taree Some honorable mentions that never made it to official album releases, instead making it to cutting room floor albums: Black Rain, Birth Ritual.
Awesome to hear so much love for Kim Thayil. While so many players were/are like "Watch me shred," Kim is like, "Let me haunt your soul."
that is doom metal
I've always wondered that did they share rhythm guitar parts on the studio albums? I think Cornell wrote most of the riffs or am I wrong? A nice touch that while the song is heavy and doomy Kim's lead is in major scale.
@@petrilampelafrom what I understand, everybody wrote riffs and bass lines (yes, even Matt Cameron), but Cornell was the main composer (and most likely the reason they used so many weird tunings).

You guys do so many things right
- not begging for likes
- not pausing the song
- choosing good songs, not just hits
- real discussion that can go anywhere
- great intros by Judson
I've been turned on to several bands i didnt know of, I love both of your taste in music, love your humor and realness, and love your moms.. I never miss a video
That means the world to us
@@GreatmeasuresLet me echo it then, I feel the exact same way. Best react channel on UA-cam and the only one I regularly watch now!
@@DoylePTB thank you so much. We genuinely appreciate the kind words.
11:38 Let's not forget Chris Cornell was the second guitarist in the band and wrote many of their most iconic riffs.
Tuned his guitar to his voice.
And hilariously was only the vocalist instead of staying as the drummer (!!) because they got tired of interviewing or looking for a vocalist. They didn’t realize Chris had that voice at the start of band.
One of my all time favorite Soundgarden songs
Agreed. Back when bass speakers in cars was all the rage I'd use this song to see how good a cars bass was.
Same! This and Limo Wreck are my favorites from that album. Glad to see it get some love all these years later.
Same, I just never knew what it was actually about until now, which makes it all the more interesting!
Love this song it’s so slow and sludgy and Chris’s vocals are so haunting it’s a masterpiece
New genre : Sludgy
Superunknown is a masterpiece they went to a different level when Ben joined.
Not the biggest Soundgarden expert, but the song Tighter & Tighter from Down on the Upside, has always been one of my favorite.
Last quarter of the song is a guitar solo with Chris singing over it like only he can, it moves me every time I hear it.
Excellent choice
That one and Overfloater. Great stuff. 🤘
@@headofamonster Yeah, Overfloater is my 2nd favorite from that album :)
There isn't a lot of discourse this deep and human about stuff like this on youtube. Well done for elevating this 'reaction guys' format.
That means a lot to us! Thank you
@@Greatmeasures It means a lot to me too, because I love heavy metal this much and know what it deserves, but we're getting caught up on cliches too often to get a bit deeper.
Gotta second that.
I enjoy your channel so much. Living in a family enjoying metal, rock and classical music you make me chuckle a lot. Also your philosophy is strong sometimes. Big love to you
Limowreck is one of my favorite songs.
Tighter and Tighter is one of my favourites. Psychedelic af
I concur. The production quality on Tighter and Tighter is among the best I've ever heard.
"Beyond the Wheel" - "Mood for Trouble" both spectacular examples of some of the points Judson hit here. The Ultramega OK album is a gem! You can hear so many of their musical influences in this album.
When I heard superunknown for the first time, it was the song "like suicide" which really caught my attention. A slow song and and awesome wailing solo which still gives me goosebumps.
The Best Vocalist from Any Genre.... RIP Chris.❤
100% agree.❤
Sludge Soundgarden is top tier!

- Fresh Tendrils - great guitarwork

Couldn't agree more. Tighter & tighter is a masterpiece, imho.
Love Fresh Tendrils

Jesus Christ Pose! That song will blow you away! Lyrics, vocals and guitar riff! Amazing! do it. Love the channel guys!
Always thought that song would be an awesome track for beginning credits of an action/adventure style movie
i think the two of you guys should start a podcast that's just you two talking, not even necessarily about music. It would be really interesting
Just one of those songs where you go, "Well, that just happened."😂
Guys you would love Mailman 🤘🏻
Nirvana made me feel like I could play guitar. This song made me get a guitar.
“Tighter and Tighter” off Down on the Upside is a gem as well. I think you can hear a lot of Sabbath in Kim’s playing,
Probably my favorite Soundgarden song I usually don't watch reactions until the end but that's what I did excellent analysis I always enjoy you guys.
One of their best examples of how musically diverse this album is would be "Like Suicide " an absolute masterpiece!
Lately this song keeps showing up in my life strange, after so many years almost forgot about this song.
My all time favourite song from my all time favourite band. The riffs are so low and heavy not even Thor can lift 'em
That's easily one of my favorite Soundgarden songs.
Man, I forgot about this song until it came on and then I instantly remembered all of it. My poor brain has done some living since the 90s but buddy has it survived on some good jams.
The riff on this song is killer; this is one of my favorite songs from that album.
Kim is a philosophy major. His guitar influences are Nietzsche, Descartes, Socrates, etc. They really show up in his chaotic & dissonant solos
Kim has said that his Indian DNA comes out in his playing for tones and modal scales. He’s also a huge fan of Tony Iommi, Ace Frehley and Johnny Ramone.
Indian from India or amerindian ??
@@naturalianoss Kerala, India.

Yes! I had forgotten about Fresh Tendrils. A lot great musical components to that one.
When I was 19-20, my CD rotation was Obituary, Death, Kreator, and this album. Life-changing.
poser
@@naturalianoss um, ok?
Great song, thanks for this.
'Like suicide' is my favourite of thiers, Love it.

Judson's monologue in and around the 23/24 minute mark.
I wrote very similar interpretations in my diary back in 94!
Chris Cornell plays guitar on alot of Soundgarden too. Wrote alot too. Kim Tayhil is great as well.
Crazy I was just watching a Live Soundgarden Show from 1992. Then seen this. Soundgarden day it is.
This song blew my mind the first time I heard it in about 2002, and it still just melts me every time I hear it. Cornell is one of my biggest influences as a songwriter, and this one's a masterpiece.

You guys are so great. There are so many "reaction" channels now, but you guys bring a different level of genuine intellectualism. Don't stop!
She played it so much I know most there songs now 😮
Good mourning/black friday next❤❤❤
This is my favorite song by Soundgarden! I think this is the only channel I've ever seen do a reaction to it.
Kim is magician guitar player, it´s magic and fantastic.
Alright, alright, i’ll get into Soundgarden.
Spot on very under rated.
"Soundgarden is strangely relevant."
That's them in a nutshell. No Alice In Chains pun intended.
Any Soundgarden is gold! Just listened to (one of many) the acoustic for Fell On Black Days, you guys should check it out even just to listen, great rendition...
I had a crappy apartment, but my ghetto blaster had this album going constantly. 🤘
My favorite
This one was new for me also. It’s now my favorite by them. Thanks
If you really liked 4th of July, you guys should give a listen to "limo wreck", "fresh tendrils",or "let me drown", ... all from Superunknown. these are not so popular but I think you might like it... 😁
Limo and Fresh, my favourite 2 tracks off Superunknown.
I love Kim Thayills style. It’s got eastern and orient styles and intervals which I’m partial towards and he loves odd tunings which are all a win in my book
Definitely Fell On Black Days or Limo Wreck from this same album. Just awesome.
one of my favourite Soundgarden songs - so pumped you guys did this one 😄👍
Listen to "Burden in My Hand"
Wow. Hadnt heard that one in a LONG time. Great song.
Keep it up with the Soundgarden reactions, please! The Day I Tried to Live, Just Like Suicide, and Fell on Black Days. Check out Alice in Chains as well. They're my two favorite Grunge bands!

Soundgarden were the Black Sabbath of "Grunge"
Love that
Beatles and Zepplin too. They had it all
Super moody piece of music. Awesome track
It's so nice when someone understands Soundgarden and why they truly are amazing. Like Suicide has my favorite Kim Thayil guitar solo. He doesn't really play "solos" like other guitar players. I remember him calling his playing coloring. (Or something like that.) If you listen to Like Suicide, just know the song is about a bird that flew into his window, which you can't tell from the song unless you know. Check out that solo though, it's glorious!
I'm subscribing now because he really understands Soundgarden. 💜
Podcast .. first guest Kim Thayil.
Amazing song! You have to do A Room 1000 Years Wide next. Its the best Soundgarden song of all time.
Like Suicide (off the same album). I simply love that song.
Judson make Richard listen to Latin Shuffle off of Combustication.
That is a great idea!
You should know that Chris wrote 4th of July entirely. At least that's what vinyl's booklet says @@Greatmeasures
Great review and commentary!Let Me Drown and Slaves and Bulldozers are 2 more recommendations from SG.
Chris Cornell's "Ave Maria" is beautiful.
Like Suicide has one of the most unique solos ever recorded by Kim.
I love this song. I think Room a thousand years wide from Badmotorfinger is the for bearer of this song. Similar placement on the album too. Keep up the good work.
Could've also been visuals from street and car lights looking like 4tth of July.

You're right though, this song does hold up very well for being as old as it is. Have you guys ever checked out Badmotorfinger? Some great stuff on there as well.
Kim Thayil comes from the school of the master of riffs: Tony Iommi.
Fresh tendrils is also such a good song
"Rooms A Thousand Years Wide" was one one the only songs written by Kim Thayil. Check it out next 😁
I'll list off two songs from each album:
Ultramega OK - Beyond the Wheel, Smokestack Lightning
Louder Then Love - Big Dumb Sex, Hands All Over
Badmotorfinger - Room A Thousand Years Wide, Holy Water
Superunkown - Mailman, Fresh Tendrils
Down On The Upside - Tighter and Tighter, Overfloater
King Animal - Eyelid's Mouth, Taree
Some honorable mentions that never made it to official album releases, instead making it to cutting room floor albums: Black Rain, Birth Ritual.
More Soundgarden please! Songs: Tighter & Tighter, Burden in my Hand, Loud Love, Mailman.
There's a Rick beato long interview with Kim thail and other Seattle guys
