SOUNDGARDEN's KIM THAYIL Recalls Seattle's Diverse Music Scene & "Grunge" Only Being A Marketing Term
"We didn't think it was grunge — that became some marketing thing."
I thought about the Clash briefly yesterday, strangely via one of my previously less favorite of their songs that's grown on me recently popping in my head-- "Lovers Rock" (it's ALWAYS in my head lately?) & I knew I'd have to listen to London Calling today. I've listened to it so many times, it's like, a PART of me. I know every weird little sound on it. And I still listen to it multiple times every year. Just like Superunknown.
Ah, the perfect album. Not all bands can do it. I think very few can.
Soundgarden's 'Superunknown' still sounds just as amazing as it did when I bought the CD from Circuit City in 1994 when I was 14. Easily one of the greatest albums of all time. That day, I bought my first 3 CDs ever -- the others being Jar of Flies and Versus. What a YEAR for music 1994 was.
I had this badass Soundgarden "Kickstand" shirt around 1995 probably that was done by an artist called Pushead. I wore it til it fell apart. Wish I still had it 😂 They sell for a lot now (see attached sold eBay listing, not mine).
That back graphic! 🔥 What a SONG, too. That first line, "Kickstand, you broke loose and I threw up" it's just like 🤯
Soundgarden were on another LEVEL with this album.
#Soundgarden est un groupe de metal alternatif américain originaire de Seattle, dans l'État de Washington. Il est formé en 1984 par le chanteur et batteur Chris Cornell, le guitariste Kim Thayil (qui sont tous deux les seuls membres d'origine) et le bassiste Hiro Yamamoto. Le groupe se sépare en 1997, se reforme en 2010, et se sépare à nouveau en 2018, l'année qui suit le suicide de Chris Cornell.
Today's theme for the #ThursdayFiveList (via @neurothing) is #TheNumbers, which is super tough because bands really love numbers in titles! Sticking to songs with "one":
2017, my #postmetal band needed to book dates in cities we had never been to, so after asking friends, we hit youtube to find some people to contact. One of the searches was for Clean Singing #HeavyMusic
This band came up & their music EXPLODED MY HEAD. Like, I was physically angry that I had never heard of them before.
We couldn't get a show with them, but they remain a guidepost for me.
