"Rusty Cage" is the first track on Soundgarden's 1991 album Badmotorfinger.
It appeared on the fictional radio station "Radio X" on the successful videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, albeit as a shortened version. It has also appeared as the theme to Road Rash 3D.
The song was also covered by Johnny Cash, on his album Unchained, which won a grammy for Best Country Album.
"Rusty Cage" was released in several different formats in 1991 and 1992 and features a striking tempo changes before the song ends -- always accompanied by the 'Chris Cornell Stomp' when performed in concert.
"The tuning on that song was pretty nutty. It's recorded with a wah wah in the low position used as a filter. That was the first time we did anything like that. It was Chris' idea; he wanted to get that weird tone that you can't really dial in on an amp. But if you use the wah wah as a filter, it gets an incredibly weird sound. And if you listen to that riff, especially if you've heard the original demos of it, it almost sounds backward." --Kim Thayil
