[edit] Reunite?
Anyone else here hoping they reunite? I fucking love Soundgarden...!
[edit] Random blaber
Soundgarden rules, especially Ben Shepherd, he rules all, and Kim Thayil is okay, but Cornell and Cameron are awesome as well
Yes they all kick ass, Cameron is the best rock drummer of our time and is tearing it up with pearl jam. The live stuff is incredible.
[edit] Thayil
tom Morello is better then him! Thayil is a better guitarist than any that chris, ben & matt have worked with or ever will work with. You play the solo to Like Suicide and get back to me.
Thayil is way better than chris will ever be Jobe6 02:17, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I can play the solo to Like Suicide, and every other solo he did on their albums. And I don't think it's fair to compare Chris to Kim, Chris was only a rythm guitarist on Superunknown, before that he didn't play any guitar. And of course Kim was the lead guitarist so... Ladysway1985 9/17/05
- uhh actually Chris has played guitar since the wee beginning. JobE6 Image:Peru flag large.png 03:11, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

- Cornell used to play drums as well as vocals right at the beginning but then they got someone else to play drums so that Cornell could concentrate on vocals. I think it must have been soon after that he became the rhythm guitarist. I seem to remember seeing a live video of him playing rhythm in Loud Love. In the Badmotorfinger albums notes, it says Chris plays Gibson Guitars.
Almost all the cool solo's are Kim's work. I suggest you watch the SNL version of Pretty Noose.
Cornell did not play guitar at the beginning, in the Soundgarden "biography", New Metal Crown, it states Cornell didn't start playing guitar until after the songs on Deep Six, or right before Screaming Life; I can't remember which. --199.29.6.2 22:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Soundgarden
All the separate contributors to Soundgarden were/are brilliant, full stop. Otherwise the amazing and original music they created would not be here today. When put together, however, they formed the even more amazing Soundgarden. It was their combined efforts that made this milestone in Grunge (and mainstream) music history - basically, what does it matter how great each was separately. They are all great musicians. But together they formed one of the greatest bands in music history (in my opinion).--Mozz 00:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Instrumental?
The article's intro says: "Soundgarden was [...] instrumental in creating the sound that came to be called grunge." While this is of course very poetic, I think something like "Soundgarden helped to define the sound that came to be called Grunge," or "Soundgarden pioneered the sound that came to be called Grunge." The use of the idiomatic "to be instrumental in sth." is slightly confusing in a music context; readers could misread or misinterpret and end up thinking that Soundgarden's instrumental work was the birth of Grunge, which is simply not fair to Chris Cornell. ;-) If a frequent contributor to this article agrees with me, please go ahead and change the sentence. --Netvor 07:08, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
I think the minimal of audioslave should be on this page because imho it's quite disgraceful to have Audioslave's "hit album" in a article about Soundgarden.
Agreed...It can be mentioned that Cornell went on to form Audioslave but I don't think that the info about Audioslave should be mentioned in this article. Flyerhell 08:23, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

- I deleted the audioslave thingy. it shouldnt be on a soundgarden article. its only suppose to be about soundgarden. KeyLime 3:05, 27 October 2005
[edit] 82.157.199.33=flx82
It is implied in previous version that Shepherd threw his bass in the air because he was fed up with the band or something, this was not the case as he commented in the summer 2005 interview. He was mad because his equipment died. And he was quite surprised to hear afterwards from a roadie that the band wanted to split.
ps. Sorry for the ref tags, didn't really know how that worked.
[edit] EPs
Were erased with no reason have put them backKsprayDad 04:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Loud Love was a 4 track single, so should it be under the EP section? It is at the moment, but I disagree
[edit] The band's roots
This article did not mention a very important fact: A cousin of one of the band members is Gidget G. Does anyone know which band member?
--How about we take a step back? Who the hell is Gidget G?
--- Perhaps he means Marilyn Manson's original junkie bassist Gidget Gein? Presumably, also, "very important fact" was intended as a joke... Artsfiend 02:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current members?
Uh, the band are split up (*sniff*) as far as I know. How can it have "current members"? - THE GREAT GAVINI {T-C} 17:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- A limitation of the current "musical artist 2" infobox. Hopefully there's movement underway to merge that and the "band" infobox, which would be ideal. Tarc 03:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
-
- The guy in charge of the infobox template says that "current members" isn't supposed to be used by defunct bands - that the lineup should be listed under "former members". I personally think that's ridiculous, and that an easy solution would be to simply switch "Current members" to just "Members" so that "Former members" is usable. But he doesn't feel that way. -- ChrisB 19:12, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Song page clean up
Serious Clean up is needed on many of the song pages, I've edited a few, but much more needs to be done...--Msl747 00:20, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Digging the Garden of Sound
Anyone ever heard of the album "Digging the Garden of Sound"? Can't seem to find any info on this album, and I don't have a physical copy to look at. I'm thinking it's a bootleg of some sort but I'm not sure.
[edit] Stolen Prayers
Speaking of bootlegs, what exactly was Stolen Prayers? When was it "released"? When were each of the individual songs recorded? Is it worthy of mention in the SG article? For some reason, stolen prayers is the only bootleg I've repeatedly heard mentioned by name. I've heard some of the songs on it, and it's definitely a decent CD. I'm still trying to find the demo version of Flutter Girl which is on it. Many fans consider it better than the version on Euphoria Morning. I'm rambling, sorry. --199.29.6.2 22:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is quite a short article for such a seminal band.
For example, the Nirvana and Pearl Jam articles are a lot longer...--HisSpaceResearch 18:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
