    around the 00:58 Ben Shepherd points out the image of former Soundgarden bassist Hiro Yamamoto on the cover of an album by Truly, a band that Hiro was in after Soundgarden. something i love that i'm finding about Ben the more I delve into interviews and such is that he never stopped repping the huge influence that Hiro was upon him. he really had the utmost respect for his predecessor.

      Mellon Collie definitely up there too, but IMO Siamese Dream has it beat out in terms of quality vs quantity.
      Both are absolutely amazing albums in their own right, but Mellon Collie is a tad bit more... overbloated, from being a double album. Siamese Dream is a perfect single album.

    Holy shit!!!! Does anyone remember how epic 1994 was? That's when the 1990s got so much better. In every way. Making the 1990's the best decade ever. The memories and feelings came Flooding back from that year. And the fact that the real Spoonman, the one and only person this song is about, was actually a part of the video! Epic, awesome, stellar, classic!
    I ordered the cassette of this album in 1994 along with about 12 other classic 1994 albums, from the BMG mail order promotion. I listened to the album for 2 weeks straight!! I've never listened to a new album for more than a week, before or since that time. Incredible! My favorite rock and roll album from the 1990s.

    I read Mick Wall's book recently about Led Zeppelin, called "When Giants walked the Earth". Somehow the title of that book floated into my head when watching this video. Soundgarden weren't just a rock band with a talented frontman - all 4 guys were amazing musicians, multi-instrumenalists, and Chris IMO remains the greatest male rock vocalist of our time - who also happened to have amazing songwriting ability, natural frontman attributes and much more.
    I've listened to their music much of my adult life and been amazed by it, so to watch a video like this and see such icons just strolling round with a coffee and floating between shops in Seattle ............ man, what I'd give to have been standing in that record shop at the time.

    It's weird because I was only 8 or 9 around the time of this filming and grew up mostly in Europe, but somehow it brings up memories of those days and specifically a kind of general feeling of life back then. I guess it's a response to seeing the fashion and all, and ofc it's how I was feeling at that age. However I think it maybe also speaks to memories of a largely pre internet time, where you had to walk to the store to hear new music etc. instead of clicking some buttons on a phone screen and either hear or see music being played instantly at high quality or order physical recordings and receive them often the next day. We live in an abundance of convenience yet everyone's stressed and angry...
