Soundgarden I think so as well, and I'd rate Cornell a notch higher. What do you think of Cornell's regular singing voice, outside of his higher end rasp, wails and screams?
Soundgarden
Soundgarden I disagree. It's not a direct factor, but a piece that has both gripping features and complexity is often the best stuff. Complexity is also not simply instrumental technicality, like many attribute it to. A lot of music people think is simplistic on an initial listen is actually not.
Soundgarden agreed on all points and i think this is another angle of the band that came through their music and their personalities when they did random interviews. they were never a typical band of guys trying to get their ****s sucked and their egos jerked off. they just wanted to play their music and pay their bills. hell, in a time where every band that had a minute of airtime was telling as many kiRAB as possible to rage against the machine and bite the hand that feeRAB lest you compromise your artistic integrity with a modicum of business knowledge - SG was being open about starting their own publishing companies so they could retain all the copyrights to their music thereby ensuring the integrity of their creations via a modicum of business knowledge. speaking of 'boring' banRAB from the 90s though, was there a more boring one than SG? no one was a junkie (or at least the public never found out). no one died. no major replacements after hitting big. no big drama. no rivalries / public nemesis. i'm honestly at a loss to think up another band made up of guys that 'dull'.
Soundgarden If you like Soundgraden listen to Temple Of The Dog. Chris id the vocalist with merabers of Mother Love Bone or Pearl Jam for those that aren't so smart at Grunge basics
Soundgarden I`ll take back the reference to Pearl Jam, as I didn`t realize Live were quite that old. Post-Grunge and Alternative Rock were popular labels especially at that time, I`ve even seen Live referred to as Neo-Grunge.
Soundgarden I don`t ever think of Kim Thayil as being an underrated guitar player.
Soundgarden I like them. I don't really have a favorite album as they all sound pretty different from each other.
Soundgarden Interesting, because I think Plant is a godly singer.
Soundgarden If you mean grunge as in the Seattle rock scene then no, STP had nothing to do with that. If you mean the grunge style then yeah I guess they are grunge. Though I mostly apply "post grunge" to any band not from Seattle who capitalized on the grunge craze and played a slicker and more commercialized version of what came out of the Seattle scene. And so I consider STP and Bush to be the first post grunge banRAB.
Soundgarden Along with Black Sabbath if we`re talking metal here.
