i miss a time i wasn’t even there for. man the 90s is something i want to experience more than anything.
Chris looks so handsome
around the 00:58 Ben Shepherd points out the image of former Soundgarden bassist Hiro Yamamoto on the cover of an album by Truly, a band that Hiro was in after Soundgarden. something i love that i'm finding about Ben the more I delve into interviews and such is that he never stopped repping the huge influence that Hiro was upon him. he really had the utmost respect for his predecessor.

I know, right? He was just naturally very charismatic and had this presence - being tall, dark and handsome helped, but there was more to it than just that.
That's what I love about Soundgarden is how humble they are. It's always a pleasure to listen, watch and see them have fun. They are my all time favourites.

Mellon Collie definitely up there too, but IMO Siamese Dream has it beat out in terms of quality vs quantity. Both are absolutely amazing albums in their own right, but Mellon Collie is a tad bit more... overbloated, from being a double album. Siamese Dream is a perfect single album. @@monkeyliver1986
I went to SubPop head office in Seattle and they have this polaroid of Chris and Matt taken in this shop near Moore. The funny thing is that I took a picture of it without knowing the story behind it (I discovered it when I saw this video few minutes ago).

When you go onto the SG wiki page, and you notice that it says “Soundgarden WAS an American rock band…”. That really is an absolute kick in the teeth. It all went tragically wrong and ended too soon for SG.

I liked when Spoonman went "BRA CAPADAPACA (POP) BRA CAPADAP POCCO (POP)." That was awesome.

When MTV was good... good times
I read Mick Wall's book recently about Led Zeppelin, called "When Giants walked the Earth". Somehow the title of that book floated into my head when watching this video. Soundgarden weren't just a rock band with a talented frontman - all 4 guys were amazing musicians, multi-instrumenalists, and Chris IMO remains the greatest male rock vocalist of our time - who also happened to have amazing songwriting ability, natural frontman attributes and much more. I've listened to their music much of my adult life and been amazed by it, so to watch a video like this and see such icons just strolling round with a coffee and floating between shops in Seattle ............ man, what I'd give to have been standing in that record shop at the time.
This is the essence of the Seattle scene. I miss those days so bad
man i love the early 90s style
Chris Cornell is flawless.
From the time when Kurt and Chris were still alive.

Hell yea!!!! One of my favorite albums of theirs. RIP Chris 🖤🕯️
the king of kings of voices the master who sings like no other with his incredible bandmates in the history of planet earth and here he is just walking around like hes one of the guys😇 RIP CC ♥
Been to Seattle many, many times. Next time I walk the paths they walked I will reflect on these streets where legends have walked.

Holy shit!!!! Does anyone remember how epic 1994 was? That's when the 1990s got so much better. In every way. Making the 1990's the best decade ever. The memories and feelings came Flooding back from that year. And the fact that the real Spoonman, the one and only person this song is about, was actually a part of the video! Epic, awesome, stellar, classic! I ordered the cassette of this album in 1994 along with about 12 other classic 1994 albums, from the BMG mail order promotion. I listened to the album for 2 weeks straight!! I've never listened to a new album for more than a week, before or since that time. Incredible! My favorite rock and roll album from the 1990s.

Seattle was getting overhyped and we lost Kurt ….the high deflated especially in Seattle (I was there) and the music world had to regroup and find itself again.. Thank God for the Deftones and the many other bands that came along later to top off the last great decade of the 20th century!!! 🥳👍🍻
I saw Spoonman when I was 16. There must’ve been 30 people or more standing around watching. Even then I thought he was amazing.
I love this so much, it's almost eerie in a sense. This was a month or so before Cobain died. It was the end of the early 90s, but Soundgarden would absolutely blow up the following summer. I still remember being mesmerized by their music and videos. Rest well, Chris.
Chris, beloved, dearest!!! So sad hes gone... He s been so gourgeous since ever
The video quality here... It looks like it's 2010 instead of 1994
Rest in Peace Chris Cornell 🤘🤘🤘 I still think it's a shame what happened to him..

I wonder when in 1994 this was filmed? I was living in Seattle when Superunknown came out, and it was such a pivotal album at the time.

With the mention of “Kerrigan wins silver!”, I’m guessing this was filmed on or around February 26, 1994, since she won silver the day before. Amazing to see this footage since I had just moved to Seattle earlier in the week.
Terrific documenting

This video is February. Superunknown came out in March, in April Kurt was gone and that was it for grunge, it lasted 927 days in the mainstream. That Pigeonhed album on the rack came out Dec 1993.

I wonder how often the other guys watch these old videos?
It's weird because I was only 8 or 9 around the time of this filming and grew up mostly in Europe, but somehow it brings up memories of those days and specifically a kind of general feeling of life back then. I guess it's a response to seeing the fashion and all, and ofc it's how I was feeling at that age. However I think it maybe also speaks to memories of a largely pre internet time, where you had to walk to the store to hear new music etc. instead of clicking some buttons on a phone screen and either hear or see music being played instantly at high quality or order physical recordings and receive them often the next day. We live in an abundance of convenience yet everyone's stressed and angry...
Amazing album
Spoonman is almost like a Motörhead song. Always been my favourite one.
That was cool.
Watching this is like seeing the seattle grunge scene Spinal Tap

Chris Cornell, nacido Christopher John Boyle (Seattle, Washington, 20 de julio de 1964-Detroit, Míchigan, 18 de mayo de 2017), fue un cantante estadounidense y guitarrista que adquirió fama por ser el vocalista de Soundgarden, Audioslave y Temple of the Dog. Comenzó su carrera como batería antes de convertirse en guitarrista y cantante.
What’s the song playing at the store from the beginning of the video?
Wait. At the end, playing guitar with Spoonman, was that Marc Maron?
I wish my hand was big enough to hold a coffee cup like that
Spoon man was written about Cobain’s intravenous hobbies.

Anyone catches the "random" illuminati earring... " They also had a throng of highly-distraught crew and tour team members already in or headed to Columbus who needed support. So they organized a vigil in a conference room at their Columbus hotel, where they were accompanied by their crew, assistants and friends who hugged, wept and attempted to console each other for many hours.”
i never knew spoonman was an actual man. interesting................................................... for some reason i thought it was about heroin.

I listened to Soundgarden's one song called 'Black Hole Sun' this year. Everyone must be sad that Chris Cornell (leader of soundgarden died, in 1994). I wonder if there's another MTV Rewind : Behind the scenes of every past MTV VMA's and/or MTV Movie Awards throughout the years.

Chris Cornell so hot
The year Soundgarden get famous is the year Kurt Cobain became a legend. I say Kurt was jealous of Black Hole Sun...it was the closet grunge song to the beatles.
Ok I saw Kurt at the beginning so I see what u doing ...release that Kurt cobain
