Soundgarden At: Guitar Center
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 бер 2014
- Celebrating the 20 year anniversary of the pivotal album that seemingly changed alternative rock, the guys from Soundgarden gave us an intimate look into their past. From Kim's very first jam sessions in Cornell's room to Ben's Sisyphean task of learning every single cord on just the neck of a guitar. What we heard them say in Guitar Center Seattle was amazing, for fans and musicians alike.
Give their remastered Superunknown album a listen: bit.ly/QCXAHu
I think this video makes clear that the genius of Soundgarden is due to all 4 members being talented songwriters.
RIP Chris. You will be missed
Haki Mann R.i.P
+Haki Mann First time i cry for someone I didn't know.
Well lt shows that you have a heart. This man helped define who I am. He's a great talent. A piece of me died when I heard about it.
+Haki Mann Thxs. He made my life so much better. I'm 17 and when I was 11 or 12 I got into Soundgarden and Audioslave. Since then I've been a fan and I just couldn't believe it when I heard the news on my radio. Chris is now resting in a good place. He is a true legend.
R.I.P Chris Cornell :`(
killthedead23. My mom him
Along with Chester Bennington, Chris Cornell was taken too soon :'( [el'sda2].
:´(
If I had 2 minutes with him I bet he would have at least waited before he did that, and that's all it takes. That moment of bad feeling, judgement, pain, whatever. He will always be a legend to me but damn.....he needed some Jesus in his life. Praying for you Chris
killthedead23 Chris will be missed by many of us. He was one of the greatest poets of our time and a genuine person
Rest In Peace Chris.... we'll always love you.
RIP from Portland.
I think Kim is a Philosopher who just happens to know how to play guitar.
Gritando Vida He has a degree in Philosophy
They all are
Hes a genius. Definitely love his note selection and the rhythms he uses.
he has a degree in philosophy from the university of washington lol
He's like Osho, but he spreads his mediunic messages through guitar
I think Kim Thayil is one of the most underappreciated rock guitarists I can think of. He doesn't focus on fast technical shredding or anything, but his playing is distinctive and he's penned so many crushing and memorable riffs in this band.
Yep... true.
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time is Beyond the Wheel. I love the blues-based licks and bends combined with the outright noise. It’s viscerally gorgeous.
True!!!
A lot of his riffs are almost prog. They use odd timings or weird tunings.
Gun from Louder Than Love has an amazing guitar solo.
I love Soundgarden, Matt is my favorite drummer of all time, and Chris was my favorite singer of all time. Badmotorfinger totally blew my my mind when I was 15 years old in 1991, I listened to it thousands of times and I still love it. Chris, no one sings like you anymore, and no one ever will.
Badmotorfinger es probablemente el mejor álbum grunge alguna vez creado. El riff intro de Room a thousand years wide es de otra galaxia 🔥
When Kim says: "Domestication of the material" is such a good way of describing the conflict between playing a song live versus recording. Genius.
This is the most interesting thing about playing on a band alive and on a record, good point man
I could just sit down and listen to Kim doing chord progressions forever
+swerve driver lol I was thinkin the same thing man
+Anton Bakutis agree
swerve driver Nice tone. Wonder what he's playing through in the vid.
Well said.. 👍
swerve driver Guy's a pioneer, unique tuning. Why he sounds so different, so mesmerising
Matt Cameron is one of the most underrated drummers ever.
+hadeskiller1 He isn't underrated...he's in the top 50 greatest drummers of all time.
+DoomPowerMetal
He should be in the Top 10.
5
hadeskiller1 he is super technical.
agreed. like alfredo hernandez.
Sometimes when a major rock star passes on you realize how much of a impact they had in your life without really knowing.
He learned every chord..??!! That's like a dad saying son learn all these calculus equations THEN I'll buy you a graphing calculator haha
That's why it's fun to find it out for yourself. I don't know any chord but I can play ac/dc, judas priest, venom, metallica, DEATH, kanses, anthrax, megadeth, jimi hendrix songs. Well, I know the E A and D the rest I just do stuff.
+Lucas, there's only maybe 7 or 9 chords tops, so shouldn't be too difficult right? lol
I learned in the same way, from a chord book on a guitar with no strings, aged 12.
Rick Cox sooo wrong. there are thousands of chords
Lucas Weiman Guitar absolutely that's bad to the BonE
Damm the band is four guitarists!!
Guitar is a universal instrument, really
2 Guitarist, 1 Bassist, 1 Drummer
i ment when they compose...
wat fox said. u would be hard pressed to find a musician who can't play guitar
you fucking dumbass!
Vote For Soundgarden 💚
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
2020
Loud Love 💚
We all miss one of the greatest artists of all time.....but I feel awful for Ben, Matt, and Kim; as their bro is gone :'( RIP Chris
onions.. damn..
joe strummer Ben's solo album isn't bad, if you haven't checked that out.
joe strummer miss you Joe
For sure!
R.I.P Chris. We will never forget your talent.
"I sat there and learnt every chord in that book, and finally I got a guitar" - he said, holding a bass ....
I could be one of those rare cases of a bass player that also owns a guitar
*learned
Isn't it called a bass guitar?
He plays guitar as well
That is a guitar.. A lot of great bass players also play guitars
Am I the only one that thinks it's not right that the Rock Hall of Fame recognizes Matt Cameron for Pearl Jam and not Soundgarden?
Benjamin Marlatt yeah pretty sad news, but the fact Matt is more famous as Pearl Jam drummer when Soundgarden wasn’t active as a band for over a decade
I honestly don't even LIKE Matt's drumming in Pearl Jam. He's got zero feel for their original songs, especially the ones they made before him. Pearl Jam has an insane groove that was lost after Dave Krusen and Dave Abrusseze. Matt is EXCELLENT in Soundgarden (and extremely innovative with his beats), that is where he fits IMO. I think he's serviceful, but kind of awful in Pearl Jam. He makes no attempt to play their original songs the way they are supposed to be and the live experience lacks because of that.
I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about what the Rock Hall is doing. Waste of time. That place is a joke.
CJay Ramone was rejected when the Ramones were inducted, the rock n roll Hall of fame is a joke, completely irrelevant.
@@matthewheinecke2621, I spent 15 mins. in the lobby and couldn't go any further. I.M. Pei's architecture is the only redeeming inspirational positive facet, but even that doesn't make it a worthy visit. sad
Chris Cornell is incredible on every project he does. Amazing artist
Kim Thayil will always be my favorite grunge guitarist. He has the bluesy technique of Jimmy Page, the heaviness of Tony Iommi, and the alternate tuning textures of Keith Richards. I adore Soundgarden; probably the most technically gifted of the Seattle Sound.
idk dude. between Alice in Chains and Soundgarden, sure Seattle produced some of the best music and talent ever
rip Chris Cornell you will be missed
“If you start out playing for the love of playing music and getting better on your instrument, then you’ll always have that in your life” -Matt Cameron of SoundgardenVEVO. Read his full interview at interviews.guitarcenter.com/matt-cameron/
thats gonna stick =)
I can only imagine what it would be like to not only be in Soundgarden, but also Pearl Jam, Mr. Cameron, you are so lucky/blessed...
Don't forget "talented".
Guitar Center And that doesn't matter what age you start learning to play the guitar or any other instruments! 😂 👍 👊 👏 🎸 Mark UK
Having an instrument in your life is: having a pathway to mastery and passport to a whole bunch of transcendent moments of bliss and unexpected connection with strangers.
These are true musicians , It sounds like they all write music and know the instruments I wasn't really crazy about their style back then . The whole grunge thing I was hesitant on . But seeing as where music has gone from that time , I was a douche !!!!!!
I know what you mean.
As I musician I envy this guys, it's so hard to find bandmates with their mentality this days... At least it is in my country, Spain.
+Tom Adams 2 years ago, I tried Soundgarden for the first time and it was difficult, I was barely attracted to them, they were to weird for me... Now they're my favorite band and I consider Superunknown to be a masterpiece, more than music, that album (and that band!) was and still is an experience... I love bands and album where every intruments is highlighted (not sure for the terms, English isn't my first language...) and Superunknow is plenty full of that... Insane music, brilliant lyrics, awesome production, beautiful atmosphere... It's hard to find albums that can match the perfection of Superunknow (Just like Tool's album)
+Javi G
It is here in the States as well.
InfinyteGard3n totally agree, when I first heard of Soundgarden back in the early 90's, it took me a few listens to get into them, but the more I listened to them the more I liked the music, to the point I can never get tired of it. Must have listened to Badmotorfinger and Superunknown hundreds of times!
Tom Adams Iona
Kim guitar playing excerpts: 0:00 (Superunknown), 1:56 (Let Me Drown), 4:07, 6:42 (Non-State Actor), 9:35 (Spoonman)
Thank you!
Cody Kopp the real mvp
Cody Kopp = a real fan!
4:07 Sounds like the melody to Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Cody Kopp as
I never thought much of Matt Cameron as a great drummer, until I actually started learning some Soundgarden songs on drums and I found such huge appreciation for his drumming. He comes up with some amazing musical drum parts, and he's actually technical as well, without showing off. I'm learning so much from his playing and now I think of him as one of the greatest Rock drummers ever.
Nice King crimson reference
A truly timeless album. In my top 3 of ALL time!
Thanks for all the great music Chris. God bless your soul.
well, he sure did. . made him so depressed , he killed himself...
@M.H. Pech What in the holy fuck are you even talking about? lol :D
Say hello 2 heaven Chris Cornell I'm still listening to all his music
RIP Chris..long live Soundgarden!!
I met Soundgarden in Japan in 93 at Gas Panic. I was a bartender. I gave them free drinks and they gave me free tickets. Thanks guys. lots of fun. I had drum sticks and the drummer did some cool riffs for me too.
Man miss u Soundgarden and really miss Chris RIP brother gone to fking soon man!!!
I can't believe he is no longer here , love u Chris Cornell. RIP
This summer I was lucky enough to have a sit down conversation with Cornell 1 on 1 before his solo acoustic show. He's a big inspiration to me as a musician, and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met, so down to earth and he took the time to sign my Vinyls and take a picture. It was an amazing experience getting to meet him. We chatted for a good 20 minutes. Last year I flew down to Toronto to see Soundgarden , and it was hands down one of the best live performances I have ever seen. If you ever have the chance , I highly recommend getting out to a Soundgarden show. They do not disappoint!! Legends !!
Cody Gittins Wow that is awesome... you must be feeling pretty bittersweet right now given the recent news :(
oh man , so depressing. I was devastated hearing the news. Way to young, and gone far to soon. A true gentleman and legend. His music will live in our hearts/life forever.
Cody Gittins wow you are so lucky!
Cody Gittins Wow, I'm glad for you that you had that opportunity. I'm a journalist and never got the chance to meet CC, and it blows that I never will. Who do I have left? Vedder?... Grohl?... Matt Cameron has a new album... Not too many others from my era left
:( If I get the chance to interview any of them, I'd better jump on it. Glad you got that experience. I will never forget him. 'No one sings like you anymore..." 💔
Dont lie
I wish I could just watch Kim Thayil play the full tracks. His play of the riffs is so sharp
Bad ass band with a bad ass heavy sound. A life changer.
One of the reasons why Soundgarden was great was the fact that all the members played guitar and wrote music for the band meaning that they were able to make really well written and diverse albums.
and they were cerebral, non-scumbags that kicked ass.
Soungarden it's so unique. Every single member it's insanely unique and talented...
Man, I love when Ben tells the story about how he wrote Head Down, its my favorite SG song. That man is a genius and one of my favorite bass players.
It's hard to express fully how I feel about this band and what have they brought to my life... but I can say for certain they changed my life. My classmate brought me their "Superunknown" back in the day, 10+ years ago now. And to be honest I didn't quite catch it "right on", it was a struggle. Some songs I liked, some I skipped intentionally. But now when I'm almost 30 I listen to the album and realize how much I love it. And nostalgia has nothing to do with it. It's the quality of the material, the diversity of writing and rhythm approaching, everything. Chris did a lot of beautiful stuff apart from Soundgarden (Audioslave for instance is also one of my most favourites), but this particular record speaks to me like nothing else.
I don't know how to say this, but I think I should, cause there's a chance this happened not with me only. I've been listening to this album nonstop for the past few weeks. Everywhere - my iPhone, at home on my iMac, at work on a laptop with some speakers, literally everywhere. Enjoying and thinking about all I have said above... and then I wake up to the news of Chris' passing. It shocked me, it still does. This will take time to think over and live on, but now it is a wound for me, definitely... So, to all the people who read this and feel the same - hang on and may all of us find peace and may Chris rest, which he deserved by leaving the incredible heritage of art in music. Thank you
throughout all the grunge period, Soundgarden was it. Tight skills and really the best "grunge" sounds. Love these guys. Everytime I've seen them live, excellent. RIP CC
These guys must be absolutely destroyed. I feel for them. Sad times for us. I think of Chris daily. I believe he will pass through my mind every day till the day I die.
How can Chris be gone?...it's wrong...
Yes. It's very wrong..
Big Fucking Pharma keeps taking our people.
We should all be careful what we ask for..... you dream of stardom as a kid only to end up dead due real world problems involving your dreams coming true......or is it mental illness, drug addiction, bad genetics? In the end it’s a damn shame to see talent at this level get snuffed out....So once again be careful what you ask for.
We all have to face death. Each and every one of us. That's just life
@@pjinspired yeah, but suicide is dark and different than just dying of natural causes
These dudes are gods. Always have been, always will be a huge inspiration to me.
awesome!
yep

I've never heard Kim speak!
If you've never heard Kim speak,then I can tell you have never seen any Soundgarden interviews before. Kim is always very vocal in interviews,and almost always the first one to initiate an answer to questions posed to the group.
He's the shit
What? He is always speaking
Soundgarden is by far my favorite band. These guys were pioneers of an entire era of music
im not really a sound garden fan but these guys are really respectable dudes
They take their music very seriously
Yeah, and their music fucking hits the spirit with the force of a verse from Christ. Okay. Well maybe not that powerful, but it's up there.
And you're not a fan. Such a shame.
vballmusicGod I love them.
Yep, i started to listenin'em like seven years ago, and i think its beacuse they are the least conventional band, i listened since my teen age Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP a lot of bands, but SG really push the envelope anda can be a little hard to digest, i read the other day an interview with eddie vedder where he says that when Matt apports some song or concept to a song, pushes th others hard cuz his different approach to music, and i really love Pearl jam too.
did you ever hear "Fell on Black Days" that song is amazing
Ben wrote Head Down? It's amazing! A song I've listened to a zillion times. Wow. What a mammoth of talent, those guys. Sigh.
What an important band for me growing up. I wish Chris would have been able to stick around for his family and the band. Thank you Soundgarden, bless your soul Chris.
I came here hoping to see footage of the band wandering into Guitar Center and playing guitars. This was nice.
Speaking of “wandering” there was an episode of a talk show called Lex and Terry where Chris was the guest one day on the show, and he was late coming into the studio, so the producer went looking for him and saw Chris casually wandering the hallways like a normal dude. They’ve interviewed rock stars of all walks and said Chris was just that… a normal dude, and they loved that about him.
I really love them! I'm a drummer and Matt Cameron is one of my biggest idols.. such a great drummer
+Angel Sanchez
One of the best. I need a drummer like him.
20 years old now and I'm still captivated by the amazing and Unique sound of Soundgarden
Chris Cornell is the "Quinta-sentional" "Rock Star!" He's cool as fuck, Melow as fuck, Honest and Pure to his Art, and Fucking Geniune!! Thank You Chris!!!
Fuck yeah. You fucking better fucking believe you fucking fuck.
Fucking great fucking band. Fucking a. Fuck!
Keven Carson Quintessential * mellow*

RIP
常盤勝男 * you
As big as Soundgarden got I think they were under appreciated in the shadow of PJ and Nirvana. SG were around long before those bands but never really hit huge until 92 and especially 94. I still think they were the best band out of Seattle dating all the way back to the mid 80's. Cornell's ability to write pop hooks is equally as potent as someone like Cobain but Cornell did it with more than just power chords over a distortion box. Cameron and Shepherd wrote awesome riffs straight from left field and Thayil brought some great doom laden heaviness. That band was/is a collective with all parts bringing something great to the table. They were more inventive than any of the other bands, great bands too. They fucked with tunings, time signatures, polyrhythms, arrangements, riffing, and came out with something that can only be the mighty Soundgarden.
Shreddie Krueger yep😎👍
Shreddie Krueger PJ was shit. They were more mainstream and acceptable than SG. Stipid Vedder hanging from the ceiling at the Moore theater. Lame and boringnnnn
Shreddie Krueger amen
Shreddie Krueger well said...
I think someone who knows and listens to soundgarden also knows their contributions to other seattle rock bands and wouldn't underestimate them.Those bands were all connected to each other actually, especially pearl jam and soundgarden.. you know the story. But when it comes to Nirvana..yeah they were, i dont want to say overrated, but they were in the foreground definitely. But you can't deny that nirvana kinda pulled attention towards Seattle which is a good thing for other bands.I dont know, i love 90's and i'm just glad that all these people exist. I hate comparing those bands because they are all like a family that i always want to be a part of. Also one more thing, i wouldn't say pearl jam overshadowed soundgarden. They're equally underrated bands if you ask me.
Kim is a beast on guitar..
LEGENDS!!!
Hats off to whoever shot this video. The cinematography is amazing.
Watching Kim Thayil do the riffs to "Spoonman" made me smile.
Long Live Chrus Cornell and Soundgarden.
Epic Band! The music will be timeless.
I always forget how much Kim influenced my guit playing. Love that dude.
Super Unknown and down on the upside are my two favorite albums, ever, and both by the same band, absolutely incredible !
Legends.
it's just awful that there will never be more SG music. I love these guys. My condolences to all who loved Chris. We miss him so much.
Chris Cornell is amazing.
Was :'( R.I.P Chris
Jesus Aponte Velasquez yeah. Gonna miss him..
"We really created some piece of music that I think will be around for a long time" indeed my man, the legacy of Chris and Soundgarden still lives on. Thanks for the awesome and beautiful music.
'Head Down' is the best.
fucking poetic, you're so tough!
It's my favourite song full stop. Superunknown also happens to be my favourite album, and SG my favourite band. But Head Down-that's my song. Nothing's ever resonated more accurately, the sound of life, to me. My life, sure. But mainly just...life.
Chris's dual vocal personas-protagonist and antagonist: the cold, disembodied, cruel, thin, alien, manipulator. The Tormentor. Impassive; Impenetrable. "We see you smile, we turn your head, then we slap your face. BOW DOWN, BOW DOWN, BOW DOWN TO LIVE YOUR LIFE."
So be it.
The human response: indomitable will to survive. Tormented. Bowed. Silenced. Stultified. *Alive* A mote, invisible, not even a speck, beneath the oppressive, choking, seemingly permanent abyssal winter gloom.
Weathering the storm. Conserving, harbouring, protecting. A lightless glint in the eye, a slightly upturned corner of the mouth. Occulted. For now.
Eventually, a spine unfurled, a breath of air, drawn deep into the lungs and held: firmament for the chest & back. Two glinting, shining eyes. A half-smile, no longer hidden. A head held high-exhultant.
Like my favourite Soundgarden song :)
Soundgarden is timeless
I love this band so much.
Kim Thayil is cool
we lost another great artist one of my absolute favorites. gone way too soon. R.I.P Chris Cornell
I saw these guys in my youth at Lolapolooza in 1996 with Metallica, The Ramones, etc. Great show! Soundgarden is and always will be a magnificent band. They've aged, but in a good way. Kim Thayil looks like a wise Hindu guitar God! Awesome piece, good to see them again after all these years. P.S. I joined the "official" SG fan club in 93 or 94 by sending 5 or 10 bucks by mail to whomever it was, and I wonder if I'm still a member? They sent me a cool T-shirt and some stickers, but then that was it. Ha Ha!
Ben Shepherd, I love you.
Superunknown has a special place in my heart. Takes me back to my youth and good memories
This is the first Soundgarden video that i watched which has no "noone sings like you anymore" in the top comments.....how refreshing.
we're not worthy we're not worthy
very simply put my friend...ah that's great!
RIP Chris Cornell 😢
I was always an admirer of Soundgarden. It wasn't until I saw them live that the music really came alive. I am still so disappointed he is no longer with us.
I met them in Seattle and spent time with them. All very sincere. All very talented. My one and ONLY listenable "grunge" band, besides the screaming trees
R.I.P. CHRIS.. we know you were taken from the world...🙌💔
rest in peace chris, you were and still are a legend!
4 incredible musicians, one of the greatest bands of all time. Thank you so much Chris Cornell for inspiring me as a singer, songwriter, and guitar player. I saw SG last year at Carolina Rebellion, 2 weeks before CC died and it is a show I will forever be grateful for.
RIP Chris Cornell. You helped get me into music, man. The first time I heard this record I knew immediately that I was a heavy music fan and I have carried that with me until today and will continue to carry it as long as I'm alive. Thank you for all you've done, and rest in power my friend.
R.I.P now Chris - a voice of a generation
It's odd how at 4:30 Chris Lists "Suicide" and "Black Hole Sun" as Experimentation. R.I.P. Chris.
He mentioned Half
@M.H. Pech It is not. Not even close!
God I miss these guys... I have been a fan since the 90s and finally I got to see them last year 2017 at Rockville... Best damn gig I have seen, and I've seen many... Of course that was just a temporary glow as we all know what happened shortly after that... RIP Chris, and thanks for the memories and the legendary music!
To this day this is one of my favourite Albums, a work of true art.
That super unknown riff was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the most underrated rock bands!
Soundgarden's music/art helped me in so many ways growing up and their music still does. I listen to them every day. Music therapy!
RIP Chris. You're one of the reasons I picked up the guitar. I can't thank you enough for the memories and the stories.
You'll be missed.
Not much of a Soundgarden fan, but I give Kim Thayil credit for keeping track of all those alternate tunings he uses and when to use them at the right time so he doesn't accidentally grab the wrong-tuned guitar. Also, tuning all the strings to E on "Mind Riot" is quite a novel idea.
6672rock tuning all the string to same note is done by Lou Reed, thou
+TheZooropaBaby I remember Chris talking @ a chance/encounter w/ Lou Reed & a mutual desire to get together on A .... (?).....Project (?)
All 4 members wrote with weird tunings. Chris is the one who wrote mind riot in that tuning.
I'm sure he'd thank you for that. It will probably mean alot coming from someone of your stature in a money making music industry. Are you going to sign him?
SOUNDGARDEN. One of the best bands of our history.
One of my favorite bands ever
It must be a joy. To not only be writing your own riffs but also playing off and developing ideas from the other members. And it shows in how good the songs were. It was team work.
a group of very talented men!!!
That guy's the bassist for Soundgarden? He looks like a truck driver. That's so cool.
Yeah he also wrote some of their best songs
+Jew Adolf Jesus Christ Pose, Head Down, Zero Chance, Black Rain, Slaves & Bulldozers, Ty Cobb, Face Pollution, Rowing etc...
@@anonymoususer2756 Had no idea he wrote Black Rain. Amazing track.
Slaves and Bulldozers is an awesome jam
A genius and live a beast
WOW!!!! This the greatest interview session EVER, like EVER out of everything
Still cant believe Chris took his own life..so sad.He is the one that made me listen to this kind of music and find out how genius it is.RIP Chris you will be missed ..wish strength to his loved ones and family
I really love " Down on the upside" ..
Same...! My favourite song is Rhinosaur. Gonna miss these guys... 😕
Best album from Soundgarden
4:20 - I don't know what that is... but I sure as hell know its a Kim and his purple Ibanez chorus pedal. fucking brilliant. the cornerstone of so many good SG songs
Except that Kim is universally known for playing Guilds

+BlueLead1945 no, solid guitar. Google it if you want
except that "so many good SG songs" means Sound Garden songs! duh.
Your music will be around forever, Chris, and you will be missed forever. Thanks for all the great songs, which were like a soundtrack to my youth.
thank you for letting us continue to experience Soundgarden even more
