If you are out there and are ever prepared to part ways with your copy please consider me first. I’m trying to master my collection of this particular vinyl and would be forever in your debt.

Also if you don’t think Hunted Down and Nothing to Say are some of the most bad ass songs ever written let’s meet up and fight. I’ll lose, handily, but I’ll die defending their honor. Loud love to you all.

i’m surprised to see that this question hasn’t ever been asked. i personally think mailman is my literal mating call, that song does something inhuman to me. but, im really curious to see what song you guys find the most sexually appealing.

Who didn’t know he was a dark and why publish this now?

I mean I've seen many fans from other bands, musicians or many other mediums like TV shows, movies and sports act like psychos and even send death threats to people. But I've never come across such things with fans of this band or anything related to CC. I know this might not be completly true, but what have been your personal experience as a long time fan?

So Live to Rise has been living rent free inside my head for 12 years now, yet I haven't really seen anybody discussing it much on this sub, so I'd like to hear your input.

First I should state that I don't think this song is bad, I just think it's weird. If I was a Marvel executive in 2011-2012 tasked with putting together a song for the first Avengers movie, arguably the biggest movie of the year, I think I'd have two options. Either ask some at the time popular band or singer (probably not One Direction or Taylor Swift because they didn't know they can advertise The Avengers to women at that point, but something similar I guess) or to go all in into the opposite direction and ask AC/DC or Black Sabbath because of the Iron Man connection.

But instead they decided to approach Soundgarden: a grunge rock band from the 90s that haven't put out an album in almost two decades, and make them create a song that doesn't even really sound like Soundgarden. Like apart from being a Soundgarden fan, I also love Pink Floyd. And even though I love the later 80s-90s period of Pink Floyd, I also understand the criticism that some of the songs from the era sound just like something from a David Gilmour solo album, only with the Pink Floyd instruments. Because this is how Live to Rise sounds like to me. Like a Chris Cornell solo song, only with worse lyrics and the Soundgarden guitars and drums.

Now my question isn't really why Soundgarden did this song. I think I get it. I bet the money was pretty good and that it must have been a great promo for King Animal that came out 7 months after Live to Rise. Rather my question is why Marvel wanted them to make it. And so far I think it might be one of two things: either a producer was a fan of Soundgarden, or somebody was like "hey, Chris Cornell kinda looks like RDJ, this could be neat".

The third and more obvious option is that if you are making a movie for dudes in late teens/early twenties in 2012, they still might remember Soundgarden from the 90s. But I'm not sure that the band really had that broad of an appeal, not to mention twenty years after their active run, plus if they really wanted to target Soundgarden fans… this really isn't the song to do it with.

Does anyone know anything about the possible release of their unfinished final album? It was mentioned earlier this year about seven recorded songs before his death that might be upcoming but something about legal disputes. Hoping for their release as an EP as I'm sure many people are. lmk

they are so incredible and I don't know how to do something similar and original!

Guitar hero type of thing

Similar, but not exactly the same. Just a fun observation!

Just revisiting King Animal again nice and stoned and I'm realizing that the three song run of Blood on the Valley Floor, Bones of Birds, and Taree is a perfect trio. What other three song runs give you this kind of feeling? Can be any record from any band.

I was listening to some Led Zeppelin and Misty Mountain Hop comes on the CD, Immediately reminds me of a song that sounds similar made by Soundgarden. It fits the vibe of the Louder Than Love album but I just can't quite place the rhythm. I'm thinking Get on the Snake. But I'm so in my head about this its all mushy at this point.

I know Soundgarden usually Is More heavy psychodelic rock, but is there any Soundgarden song that can be concidered romantic?

What would you think if there we're a revival or a tour of Soundgarden with Kim and Ben Sheppard, maybe with Matt Cameron too, but with a new vocalist (kind of like they did with Linkin park)

so I got really obsessed over Soundgarden recently, them being my top 1 on Spotify for like 3 months in a row, and a few days ago I decided to start listening to Chris by himself (I already knew like one or two songs), and holy fucking shit Euphoria Mourning is so damn good I loved every second of it, and I'm very excited about his second record seeing there's a Billie Jean cover and the James bond song

I’m going through a bunch of CD’s right now after moving multiple times and I’m still finding random CD’s in boxes I didn’t know had CD’s in them. I found this loose Soundgarden - Mega Sounds CD a while back and finally found the jewel case for it which when opened had a Live on I-5 CD inside. The CD is all black and says Soundgarden Live on I-5 across the bottom with basically the same graphics, colors and font as on the front of the Live on I-5 various versions of the CD jewel case inserts. It has 5 songs, the same as the bonus disc on A&M B0015418-72 (upc 602527649566). I own this version of the CD but the package is unopened and I don’t want to open it.

I have 2 questions:

1. If anyone owns an open version of the CD above, does the bonus CD look like the one I described?

2. I suspect my CD came with the Limited Edition 2-LP version of Live on I-5, maybe as a pre-order bonus… if anyone knows if that is correct, how did the disc come packaged? Would it have been in with the records or just sent in an envelope or something?

What a gorgeous album, especially Moonchild, Preaching the End of the World, and When I’m Down. I mean seriously, this is an absolutely stunning project. What’s your favorite song off of it?

The guitars, Chris Cornell singing and the echo or reverb in the hook gives me goosebumps. Incredible song and I actually started listening to the entire album, 'Down on The Upside'. lots of great tracks and I decided to order this CD a few days ago.
