some sections reprinted from The Soundgarden Story and
Rolling Stone magazine
As best as anyone can tell, the seeds that would eventually
become Soundgarden were sown in 1981, when Kim Thayil and
Hiro Yamamoto (who would serve as the band's bassist until
1988), living in Park Forest, Illinois, and having kicked
around in local bands for a few years, graduated from Rich
East, an alternative high school. Wanting to continue their
educations in a similar manner, the two set out for
Olympia, Washington, planning to enroll at the progressive
Evergreen State College. Unable to find jobs once they got
to Olympia, and admiring the crop of bands that had sprung
up in Seattle, where Thayil had lived until the age of

Review about Soundgarden Invokes Sadness and Intense Fear | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song BLACK HOLE SUN performed by Soundgarden
Strangely I have had a rather morbid fascination with this song since it came out when I was little. I can not say that I like the song because, in fact I hate it. There is something, I don't know what, about it that sends shivers down my spine and literally makes me cringe. In fact there was one time when I was drunk that the song was played on RockBand and I actually ran from the room screaming until I got outside away from it and curled into a ball crying. All this aside, logically I can find nothing wrong with the song, nor a reason that I don't like it, just that I don't. However, that a song can inspire such deep feelings in someone, whether positive or negative, is a show of strength for the band that sings it. I like their other songs, this one's message is just too weird for me though apparently. Perhaps someday I will be able to overcome the irrational fear these lyrics invoke so that I might add this song to the list of songs I like.

CORNELL KICKS ASS. Ha, I'm so glad I can sing his stuff well! :D He was like, my idol when I was young, and now that I've started singing, I realized I can cover his stuff better than i can do anything else, which just makes me happy. :) :)

------ About the song BLACK HOLE SUN performed by Soundgarden
i kind of think this song has to do with Kurt Cobains demise. the lines 'In my eyes, indisposed
In disguise as no one knows' may refer to how chris knew kurt on a personal level and how from a glance you probably wouldnt recognize kurt as the artist.. or rock star he was. 'In the sun in my disgrace' and nirvanas 'in the sun, in the sun i feel as one'.
'Steal the warm wind tired friend' may refer to kurt and nirvanas huge success even though they remained friends they took the wind from under other 'grunge' bands wings. 'Times are gone for honest men' obvious..
and my youth i pray to keep meaning i hope i dont go out like you.
and finally and most obviously to me, No one sings like you anymore.... hang my head, drown my fear. TILL YOU ALL JUST DISAPPEAR

------ About the song BLACK HOLE SUN performed by Soundgarden
I've always loved this song ever since I heard it in the mid '90s. Those guitars suit the mood of this song perfectly and the lyrics are way out there...hats off to Chris Cornell. This one and 4th of July are my favourite Soundgarden songs...and they're my Doomsday Duo!!

------ About the song SPOONMAN performed by Soundgarden
Last night my father and I was listening to this song and he knew it word for word but it was the first time i had heard it. Then came the dilema of who sang the song. Even though he knew it's title he didn't know the band. I thought I was going to hit dead ends with it but thankfully it really is called spoonman and my father wasn't just crazy

------ About the song PRETTY NOOSE performed by Soundgarden
First Tune on the Last Album... Driven guitar and quintessential Chris lyric. And who DOES like what they're hanging from??? Existential excellence (like all Chris' poetry). How many of us even get it? Estimate is 1-2% of the population is ready for this "bridge"... jk

------ About artist/band Soundgarden
This band is one of the greatest bands ever! I mean seriously. Any band that stays around twelve years and surpasses pop songs in the #1 spot for any amount of time is great.
