CFCGBE tuning. Pretty much half Drop C & half standard.

Couldn’t have said it better myself

😔 yup

@@stolenhal0 whack

+Tara Tanzer you're my spirit animal

Same. Remember exact time and place. Miss you, Chris. He was the epitome of Seattle. Not Kurt.

I know. I remember hearing this for the first time. i think you would really enjoy Machine Heads song "Violate" if you've not heard it yet

rocknrollboise never have I ever read a comment on KZfaq better than this. He was a fucking legend. Gonna miss him forever

kurt was from aberdeen not seattle

Yes I agree awesome song Chris Cornell a awesome singer,sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP

100% agree.

100000000% agree

i agree id say its the same with layne

I agree bit what a lot of people don't realize is that so many of his songs were written in tunings that haven't really been used before by anyone at least to write and record with. Bizaar tunings, really odd time signatures and tempo changes. Its hard to imagine the level of musicianship that he had. Almost otherworldly. He would here these songs playing "on the radio in my head" and write this way. He probably has written thousands of songs. All of that writing ability and talent he was blessed with and the voice on top of that. He has touched so many lives with his music it makes you think there must have been a purpose for him or some divine intervention. I wonder how a mortal human being could have that much cognitive function. Anyone agree?

Everything that has ever happened is underrated

Well said, brother!

Absolutely couldn’t have put it any better than that love this doom metal song today and every day🤘🏻🤘🏻 Soundgarden for life 🇱🇷🇱🇷

so descriptive, vivid and accurate

If you like this sound, Crowbar's been doing this for 30+ years and I've been dreaming since forever they made a cover of this because it's exactly their sound

@@iaial0 thanks mate, I'll check it out.

Welcome to my world. when I really thought SG was my favorite band and CC was my favorite singer, he passed away 6 months after that. Would always be my biggest musical sadness.

There is a new thriving music scene that is reappearing in today’s time. We should appreciate being young as we get easy access to old music and new music. If you need any recommendations for bands I can help with that.

I have loved grunge since I was 8 and I am now 37. Soundgarden was the only band that I was able to see with original singer. I was able to see Alice In Chains last year. I would love to have seen them all in the 90s! Keep your love for them and grunge alive and enjoy the many videos and concerts available online.

the unUSEFULidiot I 100% agree!

I’d have to go with Dirt but superunknown is up there no doubt

@@puppetmaster8551 Superunknown being a little more upbeat edges it out for me. When I first came across it years ago I thought it was a greatest hits album. Same with STP’s Purple. AiC-wise it’s Facelift, probably for the same reason.

That's a distinction that can only be made by oneself. It is one of my favorites, though.

@@aazreaal Still the greatest, Purple by STP is a close second. What's your best of all time? You're right though, there are about 25 albums that are my 'greatest of all time'.

@@ShotOfSelf Man I can't freakin say. Superunknown is certainly up there, but I too have like 50 "greatest of all time" albums, like everyone lol. I find it's quite the anomaly when someone has a definitive favorite. Lately though, I've added American Music Club's album Everclear to the list, but the staples have always been Tired Of Tomorrow by Nothing, Ghosts of The Great Highway by Sun Kil Moon, Power Corruption and Lies by New Order, uuuuuhhhhhhh Siamese Dream? Fuckin idk man. Maybe Red House Painters I (some people call it Rollercoaster) is up there too. Yes I am aware none of those are anywhere close to Soundgarden besides the Smashing Pumpkins lol

Fuckin love this comment! So true.

Greatest description

On Tighter & Tighter they’re show it in full power, great description of their essence

1aquila1 omg i'm flying highhh!!!!

MAYBE ITS THE END? OR WAS IT JUST THE 4TH OF JULY?

And I thougt it was the end

Sedento pra caralho ser humano sedento de paz

Só consigo ouvir assim do jeito mete marcha Cris

Já mais serão já mais serão

He was at his vocal peak then. I love when he can hit the highs like on the record album.

Man you're lucky!

another 4th of july ritual 2022

Interestingly and typically for the universe to do this: According to Chris this song is from a time he took acid and had a bad trip turned good

I love that Gretsch

This and Head Down are my two favorite songs from SG

Its not hard to play but theres this weird turn around type variation in the verses that starts right after the intro that isnt hard to play once you understand it but its very weird to sing over. Every live version you can tell Chris was really focusing on the timing of the singing and thats why. Great song. If your also a guitar player watch a video of someone playing it or look up the tabs and youll see what im talking about. It took me awhile to figure out what the fuck they were playing lol its a very weird rhythm variation and with the CFCGBE tuning being so low on the first three strings it makes the variation really hard to hear cause it all kinda melts together. But that weird verse part really is the genius of Soundgarden. Any other band would have just written that part to have a typical cadence and chord progression. Its rarely a good idea to try and learn guitar ignoring music theory cause without acknowledging theory it will take a very long time to learn concepts that theory would help you understand much quicker. But in the few cases where musicians teach themselves and dont go out of their way to understand the theory of music songs like this are written. Theres a misconception that anyone can be a great guitarist without theory but its just not true. Even the great musicians who are known for not knowing any theory actually know a lot more than they realize they just came about understanding it in a different way( and it took them significantly longer to learn what little they did). So i guess i should have said, teaching yourself and avoiding learning music theory while also unconsciously absorbing some basic theory concepts is a good recipe for bands like this and songs like 4th of july which are very unconventional. Wow that was way too long of a comment......

check out the live version with Cornell's solo band, including Yogi Lonich and Corey McCormick. killlllllerrrrr

@@michaelinglis8516 I disagree completely. I would advise people that want to write to avoid theory wherever possible. Come up with your own language in your head, as you say: Just by teaching yourself you will understand large parts of theory, you will just have your own understanding and language, you wont know the official names of anything. Or the rules. Theory is the enemy of creativity IMO and it robs you of the joy of discovering new sounds on your own terms. Just my opinion and I would never expect to change the opinion of someone that believes the exact opposite. I am a guitar teacher and when a pupil wants to learn theory I always ask them why and usually advise them against it. I see a pattern of people that learn theory, become obsessed with it and obsessed with learning and they nearly always forget to write any songs along the way because they're too drunk on music theory. It's wrong to generalise but I see that again and again. Any players reading I would say: Write your own songs and your own rules. Practise thousands of hours and challenge yourself, learn different instruments, but dont learn theory. PS. Also, just to annoy you even more, I find this fairly straight forward to sing and play over. Sorry :)

Definitely

it will never not be great.

It's 2022 now, and I think it got better.. like 2025 better if that's even possible.

who cares what year it is.

This song will eternally be phenomenal. It doesn't matter if it's 1994 or 5094.

+Wahoo Gonzales He's just not a good match for PJ, simple as that

+Wahoo Gonzales Matt is not suited for PJ. They are almost like a metal band sometimes, which is awful. Some guys are in need of Matt's drum kicking and smashing, and we all know who they are.

Definitely more suited for Soundgarden. He plays well with Pearl Jam, but SG is def more his style. For that reason, I really miss Dave Abruzzesse when he toured 'Ten' and 'Vs.' w/ PJ.

last time i saw pj matt had the double bass hitting so hard it felt like it was changing the pace of my heart beating during RVM....we just smoked a blunt too, which prob has something to do with it.

Couldn't agree more... I'm sure he'd tell you the same.

matt was live drumming on pj so ;)

Diego Núñez Soundgarden never labeled themselves as a grunge band.They have classic metal influences and hard rock roots and elements,also the album Super unknown is a mixture of sludgy metal,stoner rock and psychedelic rock

Diego Sebastián Núñez Soundgarden is his first and foremost. That is his mother!

Ugly Truth Nothing To Say and Loud Love, it's Stoner before Stoner

Maximilien Rigobert stoner rock is much older than soundgarden

davidofpiano423 lucky lol

so was he when he wrote it, apparently! this song lyric was brought to us by an acid trip, according to an interview with Cornell. Stunning song

@@ileanasantamaria2364 nice. I was gonna swoop in with this tidbit but you got me.

This song is actually about someone tripping in the vicinity of the 4th of July, as per Chris' explanation, so, nice ;).

Soundgarden has always been dark, if you are not one of those who knows the band only by Superunknown, you will know. In 1986 Soundgarden already sounded like Sabbath, while AIC still toyed with being Glam.

Aic is great but soundgarden is to me the goat

Listen to Echo Of Miles and you will see why Alice covers SG instead of the other way around

I always thought parts of this jam sounded like Alice too.

The dude makes a comment appreciating both bands and here you idiots come making comparisons and turning it into a competition. What a fucking shame...

This is very pro shot filming,I love it!

Indeed

Pearl Jam doesn't have a song like this. The drumming doesn't form the character of Pearl Jam's music. Whereas it very much does in Spundgarden.

He blows Freddy away. Fred was always a more Broadway voice. Imo

title?

Un buen maltrato jjajaja

Soundgarden is not doom metal you idiot. You just insulted every Soundgarden fan on the planet.

You did not just try representing Soundgarden fans by refuting a fact that true hardcore Soundgarden fans know. Every Soundgarden fan I know says they are a great retro/stoner rock band who also play well into doom, such as with Mailman and 4th of July (which, as I will be quick to mention with an insufferable smugness, I was not calling them doom metal as a whole, just that 4th of July is a doom metal song) and arguably influenced the stoner metal genre with Ultramega OK and Louder Than Love. Don't know what Soundgarden fans you know. Probably only listen to Superunknown and Down on the Upside and don't even remember when they were playing with the U-Men and the Melvins.

Ok well I msunderstood what was said, which is pretty stupid considering that there were only three words to read. I thought you were refering to the bands overall genere as doom metal and just because there are alot of darker, slower songs on Superunknown doesnt mean Soundgarden is doom metal. Anyway I just wanted to clear that up. Im a dumb 15 year old so correct me if im wrong again.

You're not dumb! Actually, you're smart for likin' Soundgarden. Actually, I wasn't concise. I was trying to say "Soundgarden is an inventive rock band who played around with stoner/doom metal." Meh. We all have our moments. TL;DR Go listen to Louder Than Love and Skin Yard

feels more like doom rock (if that's even a thing)

It's actually C tuning, instead of Drop C. C F C G B E, which makes an open and bar chord wobble and crunch.

In my opinion, CFCGBe is the most nasty and gnarly tuning there is out there that still remains musical.

it's a C11 chord
