I'm a sucker for nostalgia but this trope is being abused of every band, movie, artist, or photographer or whatever being underrated and a hidden masterpiece when it's a band as WILDLY popular as Soundgarden who I was sick and tired of hearing over and over on the radio and MTV.
Imagine watchin Chris do ALL that, put out that kinda energy...you'd be like... "If I cant catch it with a matching skill in my part......fuck that...Im catchin this magic!"💪🪨⭐️
They were the best rock band of the 90s, and the best of grunge. Alice In Chains was cool because it had Layne Stanlley and today Jerry Cantrell can't hold it together, 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.
Dude accidentally picked up Shaq’s bass strap backstage and just went with it And holy fuck every time I see Matt Cameron playing I am blown away. Incredible confidence and ease in playing those parts, and they aren’t easy to pull off.

How blessed us 90 kids were. I cut my teeth in the moshpits of Soundgarden and their grunge brothers and sisters before mobile phones and social media took over. Look at that crowd and how the band feed off that energy! Helps when you're fu*king musical beasts like Soundgarden. We miss and love you Chris. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world . ❤
These phones and social media ruined a lot of things. You’re right, the authentic energy in that crowd just doesn’t seem to happen today. Everything seems so fake.
This is such a jaw dropping performance: intense, wild and strangely beautiful. I was there as a very young man and this captures the mood., the energy, the rain and the sights and smells of not only that day in The Netherlands but of that era. Suddenly I felt 31 years younger. I think the early 90's were the last great blast of rock music with real value. This performance more than stands the test of time.
Choice Soundgarden in their f-ing prime. Cam and Shep are un-f-ing-stoppable. Cornell hits the high notes with full authority. K.T. is always confidently original, no other guitarist like him. Bad ass and worth the watch. Thanks for sharing.
God knows how many times I’ve watched this, the bass player somehow still manages to play in amongst all of the moving around. Such a great band, mega in concert.

Love how Chris gives the finger to the camera guy getting in his face …. Next scene you see both dudes with cameras backing off stage 😂. Like they pissed off God or something. In his own way I guess Chris kinda was …..R.I.P. to one of the best vocalists to ever get up on a stage anywhere and sing his heart and soul out . Damn glad to have been able to see these guys and be a part of this era in music history. Happy 2023 to everyone.🤞✌️
yeah exactly, and he looks so fucking cool doing it! I saw someone else in the comment section of Lollapalooza same year call him a praying mantis wielding a bass guitar lol
still in disbelief that this amazing human isn't with us anymore. What a gifted person he was. Long live chris cornell and the beautiful music he shared with all of us
1992 i was 17 years old it was one of the best years of my life i still have great memories of those golden times. Alice in Chains and Soundgarden the best bands of that time but the media choice was Nirvana. Great injustice with AIC and Soundgarden.
Vinter Sorg....Dude come on...I was 20 in 1992...I was a huge Nirvana fan...I also love Soundgarden and like a lot of AIC...but there was no "great injustice" done to Soundgarden or AIC....both bands got critical acclaim, huge fanbases and sold tons of records. Great injustice is bands like Mudhoney or the Melvins never making it huge, while Billy Ray Cyrus does. The media choice was actually Pearl Jam. Nirvana got the most attention because they were the first to break through, had the catchiest tunes and because Kurt was such a presence. They deserved that attention. Soundgarden has and always has gotten a lot of respect, especially by Nirvana fans like me. Nirvana and the guys in Soundgarden were friends, the guys in Soundgarden respected them and were completely blown away when suddenly Nirvana made it through. The attention and glare that Nirvana brought to the genre benefited Soundgarden, AIC and all the other Seattle bands, not to mention alternative music in general and thank goodness for that, since i was pretty damn sick of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.
I think its all about what the band did to expose themselves more. nirvana and pearl jam both probably contacted MTV to do the unplugged show that year, and SG perhaps didn't yet want that exposure, or MTV thought their sound is too heavy. it's sad, but MTV has a say on what kids/people will like.
NARKISDUDE Well let's not say Nirvana "contacted" MTV to do MTV Unplugged...in fact, the relationship between Nirvana and MTV was in the toilet because Nirvana was furious at MTV because of their behavior. Nirvana did not want to go to the MTV Video music Awards that September (1993) and MTV threatened them by saying not that they would never play Nirvana videos again, but that MTV would never play *ANY* videos by other groups that Nirvana's management, Gold Mountain represented... MTV's behavior was despicable.
tnx for the info, now I hate these mo'fuckers even more (MTV) other than that, my point was that it's good publicity you know, to have lots of music videos etc., even if it means selling out and at times shorten the length of the song because THEY think its too long. unless you're Justin Timberlake and in that case a 10 minute video is peachy(: ...
When Chris Cornell looked like a beautiful Jesus It's good to show the public, a whole era seriously. When will rock make a come back in the mainstream??? We need new rock bands, with energy, passion and art I am more than ready for it
I dont even know who else played this festival, but just the fact that a young Soundgarden and Pearl Jam played makes it legendary. I wonder how many people there even realized that day the level of greatness they were seeing
Tool, Soundgarden and Pantera were the three best bands of the 90s. I mean i like Nirvana, but IMO they were so far behind the power of Soundgarden and only really rose so high because of Kurt's death
i keep coming back to watch this a million times. chris’ vocals are insane, the fact he sounds just as good or better live as studio recordings just proves he’s one of the greatest. kim’s guitar work completes this band, matt just plays the drums like no other, and ben is a bass legend and has written some of my favorite SG songs. love this band so much. one of my favorite live SG performances
music was really amazing at this point: Hip-hop was coming into it's own, metal was at full peak. Alternative had gone overground. The energy was real. not sure whats happened.
One of the only times in history where all genres we're producing top notch music, rap was great back then, grunge, and alternative were at their peak, experimental was thriving. Metal was also great at the time. Now rap has become generic autotune crap that's barely rap, rock has mostly become pop music with instruments and no one appreciates alt/ experimental 😪
So great! I remember seeing them at Lollapaloosa in 1992 Orlando FL, there was a small hurricane approaching FL we thought the concert might cancel, but it went on. When Soundgarden came on, they were on the second stage (outdoor) and the Tropical Storm force winds were coming from directly behind the stage, blowing all their hair straight at us and with the gray menace of clouds behind them and wind blowing through them and toward us, it felt like we were all being pulled into some kind of vortex, pulling us in with Soundgarden ROCKING us all the way. It was AMAZING. It was a great time to be alive :-) Yeah!
The bands at this point should set up funded sites where their fans' secretly recorded videos are uploaded. Plus of course provide their own footage. The situation is exactly THE OPPOSITE of the past, now the bands should be celebrating those old videos their fans made.
Almost 30 years ago. I gave good memories about it. I was at there. I did not know Soundgarden yet but for me the best performance at the festival. I remember the lighting whe they were playing. I also met a very nice girl there and am still with here today!
Soundgarden's and Pearl Jam's Pinkpop 92' performances were out of this world amazing. What a great time for music. Side note: Look at the rain puddles creeping in from the sides of the stage, it's a miracle someone didn't get electrocuted.
Its incredible the amount of people that hates pearl jam without reason, the irony is that eddie is the only grunge singer alive, long live grunge and fuck off all the haters
I discovered this band only days ago...If only I had discovered it before....Chris he had a fabulous voice...and This band deserves a lot...This guys was amazing.. RIP chris

@@drvitorhugoc Hopefully they'll be releasing some unreleased stuff or postumous album. They evidently have stuff in their vaults. Legal stuff has kept it from being released.
I never saw them live but I was in the sixth grade when this album came out and my older bro brought it home. It changed my life. This era is the pinnacle of rock and roll.
That’s a piece of history I never get to experience. I was too young to see the greats live as they rip through the sound waves. We were poor and lived far from all. But lucky to have seen few. But never Soundgarden. Life is too short and I hope remaining band members will celebrate their history someday. Just like Pantera tribute going on right now and refreshed Alice in Chain. I get to see Pantera tribute last sommer. And it was glorious. Life assuring to those who never experience the greats!
The brilliant voice of a rebellious, raw and real generation-everything has a purpose, it's our attachment to things that gets in the way of living Miss you Chris and Thank You for being you! XO
+Bajuri Oxa Oh, you should be! I was born in 98, my generation SUCKS, but my dad taught me well, so I got that going for me, Pearl Jam Concert in November was really nice, first time I Headbanged until I got a headache
RIP CHRIS CORNELL..We immediately spotted the power of his voice and music at the tv broadcast of this 1992 Soundgarden performance on Pinkpop which was so loud and different that it totally blew us away...fans ever since!!! Watch and shiver!
love the improv section in the middle. they really know how to bring it down to a low, unsettling growl, and then bring it crashing and screaming back up to the climax. this is soundgarden in their prime!
Chris was a genius. Like many who are gifted, he struggled with depression. He saw his flaws and rarely recognized the talent, always wanting to be better. He definitely did not consider himself a rock God.
Been Shepherd is fucking awesome, I love the way he plays and performers., He wrote Switch opens Jesus Christ pose, Ty Cobb, By crooked steps, Zero chance, etc. Fucking genius and gets no credit. My favorite bass player of all time.
@@joandrumz3176 I recall Chris Cornell introducing Ben Shepard at the Capitol Theatre in Olympia, WA in 1991. He raved on him and sounded extremely grateful to have him in the band. He was being really modest and almost sounded like he thought Ben was too good for the band saying they were really lucky to have him. Perhaps he never got a lot of mainstream credit, but he got a lot of respect from other members of the band.
90's definitely had some balls to it! We're playing our music whether you like it or not! To me 90's is the last BEST decade for Rock music. It's not the musicians fault, it's the industry. I'm confident there are bands in basements, garage's, banging music like this out there. It's a shame the Industry doesn't let this shit through anymore! Cornell was definitely one of the best vocalists of ALL time! Fucking commercialism!
I am not so sure if there are bands out there doing this. Today it's all about, I'll be in a band for 6 months and if we are not playing Madison Square Garden then I'll move on to something else. The fans and industry aren't there to support bands. So band members move on and get on with their life. Or they simply copy another band verbatim. People today are more concerned with making it than the art portion of it.
@@AMetalheadsJourney You're both right, but people like me and otehr ones we are here to play our Music because we love play and listen to Music, not because of "Making it". Sadly, "This world" we see in this old video concert doesn't exist anymore, the world has changed it. Now there is Internet and social web that put out Music.
@@AMetalheadsJourney It also takes work ethic and commitment to make a band work and succeed. That ain't happening with the entitlement generation. Pay your dues? Yeah, right. They all want the contract and Grammy without the sweat.
I say that to my kids when I’ve got the stereo so loud it can be heard a block away ‘I’m playing my music whether my neighbours like it or not’. Because sometimes it just needs to be fvcking LOUD! It’s always something from this era that brings it out of me

It gets even more impressive when you find out he was drunk all the time at every concert.
every session they used to drink, so if they weren't drunk it was harder to play

Most iconic Pinkpop line-up; Soundgarden, Pearl Jam & the Cult. Honored to have been there.
This is such a jaw dropping performance: intense, wild and strangely beautiful. I was there as a very young man and this captures the mood., the energy, the rain and the sights and smells of not only that day in The Netherlands but of that era. Suddenly I felt 31 years younger. I think the early 90's were the last great blast of rock music with real value. This performance more than stands the test of time.
R.I.P. Chris Cornell, thanks for the good music
This is why Soundgarden was the best of the best of the Seattle groups. Raw, powerful and absolutely amazing
I love Soundgarden. That was a WHOLE lotta hair happening back then.
Choice Soundgarden in their f-ing prime. Cam and Shep are un-f-ing-stoppable. Cornell hits the high notes with full authority. K.T. is always confidently original, no other guitarist like him. Bad ass and worth the watch. Thanks for sharing.
God knows how many times I’ve watched this, the bass player somehow still manages to play in amongst all of the moving around. Such a great band, mega in concert.
not to mention is shoe lace haha
The bass IS UNBELIEVABLE
They were the best rock band of the 90s, and the best of grunge. Alice In Chains was cool because it had Layne Stanlley and today Jerry Cantrell can't hold it together, 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.
somewhere out there someone is practicing day and night and one day they will revive rock n roll once again
It's you baby
Amen to that 🤘
I’m trying my hardest with low support
Uh if still relevant check out Gojira. Give it a chance.
Soon….🤘🏾🎸
The greatest band of all time, past, present and future.
💯
Jujur biasa ajh,,, mereka hanya ikutan meniru
Damn. Damn. Damn. Those drums. That bass. Those guitars. That voice. That voice. RIP- Chris

@@drvitorhugoc "Jerry Cantrell can't hold it together..."? You are either deaf or just plain stupid🙄🧐
Incredible voice
"HOW NOW BROWN COW? YEEEUUGHRIGHT" is the best lyric in all of grunge
Love how Chris gives the finger to the camera guy getting in his face …. Next scene you see both dudes with cameras backing off stage 😂. Like they pissed off God or something. In his own way I guess Chris kinda was …..R.I.P. to one of the best vocalists to ever get up on a stage anywhere and sing his heart and soul out . Damn glad to have been able to see these guys and be a part of this era in music history. Happy 2023 to everyone.🤞✌️
There seems to be a very big spider creeping around on the stage with a bass in its hands.
But a very cute one 😏💅
All of them got the crawls at some point during the performance 😂
Those dude in the pits yoking one another... and loving it
It's a Grungenid.
yeah exactly, and he looks so fucking cool doing it! I saw someone else in the comment section of Lollapalooza same year call him a praying mantis wielding a bass guitar lol
Chris was one hell of a singer!!! My throat got sore just from watching this !!!
That’s what she said 🤡😳
@@effdonahue6595 stop
No clicks, no autotune, no VS, just amps and pure talent.
the fact that cam can do this on that simple of a drum kit is mind blowing
still in disbelief that this amazing human isn't with us anymore. What a gifted person he was. Long live chris cornell and the beautiful music he shared with all of us
One of the most legendary performances... pinkpop was still cool. I keep coming back to this
1992 i was 17 years old it was one of the best years of my life i still have great memories of those golden times.
Alice in Chains and Soundgarden the best bands of that time but the media choice was Nirvana.
Great injustice with AIC and Soundgarden.
don´t Forget pearl jam,candlebox and rage against the machine
Vinter Sorg....Dude come on...I was 20 in 1992...I was a huge Nirvana fan...I also love Soundgarden and like a lot of AIC...but there was no "great injustice" done to Soundgarden or AIC....both bands got critical acclaim, huge fanbases and sold tons of records.
Great injustice is bands like Mudhoney or the Melvins never making it huge, while Billy Ray Cyrus does.
The media choice was actually Pearl Jam.
Nirvana got the most attention because they were the first to break through, had the catchiest tunes and because Kurt was such a presence.
They deserved that attention.
Soundgarden has and always has gotten a lot of respect, especially by Nirvana fans like me.
Nirvana and the guys in Soundgarden were friends, the guys in Soundgarden respected them and were completely blown away when suddenly Nirvana made it through.
The attention and glare that Nirvana brought to the genre benefited Soundgarden, AIC and all the other Seattle bands, not to mention alternative music in general and thank goodness for that, since i was pretty damn sick of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer.
I think its all about what the band did to expose themselves more.
nirvana and pearl jam both probably contacted MTV to do the unplugged show that year, and SG perhaps didn't yet want that exposure, or MTV thought their sound is too heavy. it's sad, but MTV has a say on what kids/people will like.
NARKISDUDE
Well let's not say Nirvana "contacted" MTV to do MTV Unplugged...in fact, the relationship between Nirvana and MTV was in the toilet because Nirvana was furious at MTV because of their behavior.
Nirvana did not want to go to the MTV Video music Awards that September (1993) and MTV threatened them by saying not that they would never play Nirvana videos again, but that MTV would never play *ANY* videos by other groups that Nirvana's management, Gold Mountain represented...
MTV's behavior was despicable.
tnx for the info, now I hate these mo'fuckers even more (MTV)
other than that, my point was that it's good publicity you know, to have lots of music videos etc., even if it means selling out and at times shorten the length of the song because THEY think its too long. unless you're Justin Timberlake and in that case a 10 minute video is peachy(: ...
I always come back to this vid. So powerful. RIP Chris
When Chris Cornell looked like a beautiful Jesus
It's good to show the public, a whole era seriously. When will rock make a come back in the mainstream???
We need new rock bands, with energy, passion and art
I am more than ready for it
@@emmaphilo4049 his music is like a great feeling!..it just rocks!. blows you away?
Missing these guys today...RIP Chris....
The 90s ..The last GREAT decade.
I was born in 91 so my childhood was spent in the 90s. When I was like 6 I started discovering all these great Rock bands
@Jason Weaver I grew up in the 90s for 9 years.
@Jason Weaver His birth
@Jason Weaver *His birth*
Unbelievable in concert in the 90’s took a few days for your ears to stop ringing. How good were the 90’s great everything !!
The guitar work between Kim and Chris in the intro and then solo section for "Slaves and Bulldozers" is just masterful.
That era for metal & grunge was so damn good & will never be repeated...hail Chris Cornell R.I.P
I dont even know who else played this festival, but just the fact that a young Soundgarden and Pearl Jam played makes it legendary. I wonder how many people there even realized that day the level of greatness they were seeing
Soundgarden & Pearl Jam On Pinkpop Fest 1992.
Holy Fucking shit!!!!!
At least there was one good band, aye?
Pearl jam can't hold a candle to Soundgarden!
Soundgarden was always the best hardrock band of that era, no question.
Tool, Soundgarden and Pantera were the three best bands of the 90s. I mean i like Nirvana, but IMO they were so far behind the power of Soundgarden and only really rose so high because of Kurt's death
@@NooDLES411911 Yeah, nirvana aren't bad but to be honest they only became THAT popular because of the morbidity around Kurt's dead
@@ximenaarmenta1852 blasphemy
Alice in chains is better
@No One dont play G. Punk yo. Tripping dawg
i keep coming back to watch this a million times. chris’ vocals are insane, the fact he sounds just as good or better live as studio recordings just proves he’s one of the greatest. kim’s guitar work completes this band, matt just plays the drums like no other, and ben is a bass legend and has written some of my favorite SG songs. love this band so much. one of my favorite live SG performances
Chris Cornell was channeling Jim Morrison at 15:30 ... so sad that he is gone. I was fortunate to see him live best concert ever !!!!!
Agree, thought it was Jim for a second
music was really amazing at this point: Hip-hop was coming into it's own, metal was at full peak. Alternative had gone overground. The energy was real. not sure whats happened.
+Scott smith I agree everything was raw and real in all those genres at the time
$$$$$
Justin Bieber became a thing,unfortunelly.
One of the only times in history where all genres we're producing top notch music, rap was great back then, grunge, and alternative were at their peak, experimental was thriving. Metal was also great at the time. Now rap has become generic autotune crap that's barely rap, rock has mostly become pop music with instruments and no one appreciates alt/ experimental 😪
Pablo Power sad but true..
So great! I remember seeing them at Lollapaloosa in 1992 Orlando FL, there was a small hurricane approaching FL we thought the concert might cancel, but it went on. When Soundgarden came on, they were on the second stage (outdoor) and the Tropical Storm force winds were coming from directly behind the stage, blowing all their hair straight at us and with the gray menace of clouds behind them and wind blowing through them and toward us, it felt like we were all being pulled into some kind of vortex, pulling us in with Soundgarden ROCKING us all the way. It was AMAZING. It was a great time to be alive :-) Yeah!
31 years later and the complete show hasn’t surfaced 😫
The bands at this point should set up funded sites where their fans' secretly recorded videos are uploaded. Plus of course provide their own footage. The situation is exactly THE OPPOSITE of the past, now the bands should be celebrating those old videos their fans made.
Almost 30 years ago. I gave good memories about it. I was at there. I did not know Soundgarden yet but for me the best performance at the festival. I remember the lighting whe they were playing. I also met a very nice girl there and am still with here today!
Badmotorfinger came out when I was in high school, it changed my life.... still listen to it regularly....
Soundgarden's and Pearl Jam's Pinkpop 92' performances were out of this world amazing. What a great time for music. Side note: Look at the rain puddles creeping in from the sides of the stage, it's a miracle someone didn't get electrocuted.
Epic day indeed. Soundgarden had the rain and the thunderous volume. Pearl Jam had the sun and an energy of a bunch of crazy teenagers. What a year
Pearl Jam ain't good , just stop mentioning
@@paulclalchungnunga2052 lol yeah ok loser
Its incredible the amount of people that hates pearl jam without reason, the irony is that eddie is the only grunge singer alive, long live grunge and fuck off all the haters
@@paulclalchungnunga2052 they’re amazing stop hating
I put Badmotorfinger on the CD player and didn't stop until i could play the whole thing on drums. What memories.
Very nice guys, I partied with them at a grateful Dead concert in 92. Awesome people
I discovered this band only days ago...If only I had discovered it before....Chris he had a fabulous voice...and
This band deserves a lot...This guys was amazing.. RIP chris
Really?
One of the best performances of all times.
I LOVE 'EM ! Seriously. Excellent live Rock ! ALL of them played their respective parts as though they were born that way. UNBELIEVABLE ! ! !
Love how loud Chris' guitar is in the mix here! Chris, dude, I underrated your axe skills sir, I am sorry. An awesome racket
Ben Shepard was playing his bass guitar almost like an upright bass. Awesome.
Just wish it was louder.
9:49 the low meister

@@drvitorhugoc Hopefully they'll be releasing some unreleased stuff or postumous album. They evidently have stuff in their vaults. Legal stuff has kept it from being released.

Savage.!! 🔥🔥
rest in peace
God bless you Chris you are the man dude. ❤
thanks for the timin Sorely,issed the band and Chris
Somebody pin this comment!
There will NEVER be another Soundgarden but Hard Rock will come back around. Chris Cornell came from a very special, musical, place.
I never saw them live but I was in the sixth grade when this album came out and my older bro brought it home. It changed my life. This era is the pinnacle of rock and roll.
That’s a piece of history I never get to experience. I was too young to see the greats live as they rip through the sound waves. We were poor and lived far from all. But lucky to have seen few. But never Soundgarden. Life is too short and I hope remaining band members will celebrate their history someday. Just like Pantera tribute going on right now and refreshed Alice in Chain. I get to see Pantera tribute last sommer. And it was glorious. Life assuring to those who never experience the greats!
The brilliant voice of a rebellious, raw and real generation-everything has a purpose, it's our attachment to things that gets in the way of living Miss you Chris and Thank You for being you! XO
i lived the 90's and i am happy..fell sorry for 2000's
You got that damned right Bajuri. Music for the majority anymore is shit, at least IMO.
LOL.. i played the 90's music...in 2014..as good music is good music
TooNumb TooFeel soceity sucks too, but that was the same in the nineties
Ralf Römgens LOL. I would take 90's society any day Ralf. Maybe it's just because I'm getting older, but things are even more wacked today.
+Bajuri Oxa Oh, you should be! I was born in 98, my generation SUCKS, but my dad taught me well, so I got that going for me, Pearl Jam Concert in November was really nice, first time I Headbanged until I got a headache
U don't understand how incredible this band was.
Heaviest band ever, because of Chris.
Louder than Heaven
Watching this over and over. God I respect Chris and he'll be missed
I saw them twice this year (1992). They had such '90s swag. Ben Shepperd dusting the floor with his bass!! haha
one of the best quality old school footage... this is awesome. wish i was there.
R.I.P. Chris Cornell, thank you so much for your music!
Just an absolutely seminal example of Soundgarden being totally Soundgarden. I am speechless. That is rock and roll at its MOST primal.
I saw them about 9 months after this in Australia. They blew my 14 year old mind. God bless the 90s
Rest peacefully Chris! Your music was such a big part of my childhood.:(
Best show I’ve ever been to was in a small venue in Ventura in the 80’s so badass.
Like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath had a baby.
Yeahhh!
25 years before he killed himself.
@@James-en4cx Dude thats a shit statement. Be ashamed.
FACTS
One of them is like Jim Morisson :) Which?
This is where I fell in love with Soundgarden. My top ten, maybe even top 5 of all time.
Can't get over the amazing vocals by Chris live. Such power.
Chris could really peel the paint off walls back then. Brilliant post. Thanks for sharing...
Slaves and Bulldozers is a monster track...RIP Chris Cornell
The explosion of guitar music was off the rails - I was in heaven… the early 90’s were the best
RIP CHRIS CORNELL..We immediately spotted the power of his voice and music at the tv broadcast of this 1992 Soundgarden performance on Pinkpop which was so loud and different that it totally blew us away...fans ever since!!! Watch and shiver!
love the improv section in the middle. they really know how to bring it down to a low, unsettling growl, and then bring it crashing and screaming back up to the climax. this is soundgarden in their prime!
The quality is so good for 92
Imagine being Chris Cornell on that stage. The absolute knowledge of knowing you’re a rock god blowing minds..
and being the hottest man ever
@@silverfckaw shucks😊thanks 🤓🤡🤪
The man suffered from depression.
Chris was a genius. Like many who are gifted, he struggled with depression. He saw his flaws and rarely recognized the talent, always wanting to be better. He definitely did not consider himself a rock God.
No Chris seemed too humble to think that way. Especially in 1992.
Been Shepherd is fucking awesome, I love the way he plays and performers., He wrote Switch opens Jesus Christ pose, Ty Cobb, By crooked steps, Zero chance, etc. Fucking genius and gets no credit. My favorite bass player of all time.
My personal fav Never named
@@joandrumz3176 I recall Chris Cornell introducing Ben Shepard at the Capitol Theatre in Olympia, WA in 1991. He raved on him and sounded extremely grateful to have him in the band. He was being really modest and almost sounded like he thought Ben was too good for the band saying they were really lucky to have him. Perhaps he never got a lot of mainstream credit, but he got a lot of respect from other members of the band.
Same, absolute monster musician.
Ben also wrote the criminally underrated "Somewhere".
@@XistoKente yeah that song fuckin rocks
In a grungy mood. Smoking a cigar on a kick ass summer day. Just listened to silverchairs frog stomp and this came on next. My god life is good!!
Rest In Peace Chris Cornell...
Your dedication on music will never be forgotten.
90's definitely had some balls to it! We're playing our music whether you like it or not! To me 90's is the last BEST decade for Rock music. It's not the musicians fault, it's the industry. I'm confident there are bands in basements, garage's, banging music like this out there. It's a shame the Industry doesn't let this shit through anymore! Cornell was definitely one of the best vocalists of ALL time! Fucking commercialism!
I am not so sure if there are bands out there doing this. Today it's all about, I'll be in a band for 6 months and if we are not playing Madison Square Garden then I'll move on to something else. The fans and industry aren't there to support bands. So band members move on and get on with their life. Or they simply copy another band verbatim. People today are more concerned with making it than the art portion of it.
@@AMetalheadsJourney true take
@@AMetalheadsJourney You're both right, but people like me and otehr ones we are here to play our Music because we love play and listen to Music, not because of "Making it". Sadly, "This world" we see in this old video concert doesn't exist anymore, the world has changed it. Now there is Internet and social web that put out Music.
@@AMetalheadsJourney It also takes work ethic and commitment to make a band work and succeed. That ain't happening with the entitlement generation. Pay your dues? Yeah, right. They all want the contract and Grammy without the sweat.
I say that to my kids when I’ve got the stereo so loud it can be heard a block away ‘I’m playing my music whether my neighbours like it or not’. Because sometimes it just needs to be fvcking LOUD! It’s always something from this era that brings it out of me
🖤🖤🖤🖤💯💯💯yessss I found it again ,, this is better than finding anything that u thought u lost ..my fave pinkpop of all.times just waiting for me 💋
Awesome. We need this show in full version
Chris foi o melhor vocal da sua geração. Saudades eternas.
For those of you younger folks wondering, yes, the 90s were incredibly awesome and a great time to be alive. Best decade ever!
To add to it, Soundgarden one of my top 10 Rock bands of all time!! Great performers each and every one of them!!
what an incredible performance and what incredible quality
