CRAP.

crapgarden. the worst show I ever went to...even though I was 13 I still knew it was bad. that spoonman shit is for the birds! I don't need to hear from anyone,"Oh! You just need to hear Louder than Love, or this one, or that one...". No. I need to UNhear them. Now that would be a technology worth investing in...

i think it's about time Kerble finally weighed in on this one.

I would like to Superunhear them.

Hard for me to ever vote crap, due to the fact that this 17-years-old-at-the-time, impressionable, aspiring rock fan's first "small club" show in 1990 was:

VOIVOD
Soundgarden
Faith No More

...at Mabel's(!!!) in Champaign, IL

I was only 17 - that show completely slayed my face!

Even though I honestly couldn't get into the tunes much after 'Badmotorfinger'... "Spoonman"!? - I still am thinking WTF?! on that one - and it wasn't like a goofy B-side, even - that was like the main radio/MTV single besides "Black Hole Sun" for that album...

... on that last album I did sort of like that "Pretty Noose" song though:
"EAT THE FRUIT AND KISS THE SNAKE" - good grief!
(this guy thinks he's Jim Morrison or something?)

here's what Kerble wants for christmas:



only the best.

oh wow, i saw that same tour at this horrible club in DC called the Bayou that closed in the mid 90s. What a strange lineup, the show was incredible and Soundgarden was definitely the best of the 3. I recall Chris Cornell diving on my (bad) shoulder that I had just had surgery on. Had a great time.

man, no bands are safe on this board..

NOT crap

(nods head in respect)

Not crap, no waffles.

Badmotorfinger sucks (w/ the exception of "Room A Thousand Years Wide"), and the later two albums are spotty (although I have a secret love for Superunknown, "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman" excepted) but have their moments.

But man, those first few records are some of my personal favorites. They were the soundtrack to my youth. Chris Cornell's shriek at the start of "Nothing to Say" still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up on end, and "Flower," I mean, come on.

They definitely went downhill when Chris Cornell began wearing a shirt.

Sort of says it all, doesn't it? Thread's over!
