r/Soundgarden
This is why I hate summer: the boiling heat, especially in Dallas, Texas, and Arizona. I'm so glad fall is coming soon.
What do you think the best soundgarden song is?
reddit.comLove this video of Chris crawling on the ceiling
Traveling back to his old stomping ground The Central Tavern to film ‘Singles’ after breaking out and being out on tour for a while. It’s like he’s saying to Cameron Crowe, “Hey Cameron, watch this. This is what I used to do right up here on this very stage.”
Question about the Hunger Strike video
In the this clip from the Pearl Jam: Twenty documentary they show footage from the Hunger Strike video that isn’t included in the version of the music video that’s online. Specifically the scene where Cornell is singing the opening verse around the campfire and another shot where either Matt or one of the Pearl Jam guys tackles Cornell when they’re clowning around by the campfire.
My question is: is that from an alternate version of the music video or is it just extra footage that wasn’t used?
I find it a bit weird that in this music video he uses a Catholic priest instead of a Greek Orthodox priest because he is Eastern Orthodox

blabbermouth.netWhy did Chris never play guitar in Outshined at concerts?
I'm a rhythm guitarist and it's actually an easy song to sing and play and I do it, so I came to ask here.
Has anyone received an audiobook of Kim's A Screaming Life?
I ordered an audiobook of the release from amazam June 10th and I haven't received it yet.
Astronomers Discover a Brand-New Type of Object: Part Black Hole, Part Star.
At the cosmic dawn, the universe was sprinkled with giant black holes—monstrosities so huge that scientists are still struggling to explain how they could have even existed. The answer may lie in a never-before-seen object from this cosmic era.
In a paper published today in Nature, astronomers report the discovery of an extremely unusual, bright spot of red from the early universe. Externally, it looks like an enormous star about the size of the entire solar system. It’s radiating about 100 billion times more energy than any known star, making it more like a black hole. After careful analysis, the team concluded that it’s an entirely new type of object: a “black hole star.” This black hole star, named MoM (Mirage or Miracle)-BH*-1, “is so swaddled within shrouds of dense gas that it effectively radiates in a manner reminiscent of stellar phenomena,” Rohan Naidu, the study’s lead author, told Gizmodo.
“It is a very special thing to find an object with no comparison given the vast stores of data on billions of stars, galaxies, and black holes that we have in our archival databases,” added Naidu, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii. “MoM-BH*-1 is one in a billion!
Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’
theguardian.comDid anyone ever ask Chris why he shaved his mustache like that?
It definitely wasn’t a trend he was following, but the idea must’ve come from somewhere, and he was pretty persistent with it for years

"Astronomers claim to have discovered a new kind of cosmic object, a black hole “star”, which is the size of the entire solar system and glows with a brilliant red light."
But is it really that new of a discovery?
Will the new album sound like King Animal, or will they continue in that direction?
King Animal fue un regreso bastante sólido para Soundgarden, pero después de revisitarlo hace poco, me queda una impresión bastante clara: se siente más como un álbum en solitario de Chris Cornell que como un disco real de Soundgarden.
De verdad quería amar este álbum, pero simplemente no puedo. Para mí, el problema más grande es que la identidad de Soundgarden siempre estuvo profundamente ligada a su sonido, y ese sonido inconfundible casi no está. El álbum está bien escrito y bien producido, y definitivamente hay algunas canciones fuertes, pero en general se inclina demasiado hacia un rock pulido y amigable para la radio.
Es un buen álbum, pero no tiene la misma oscuridad, la misma imprevisibilidad, la misma contundencia ni la misma personalidad sonora que hicieron a Soundgarden tan único. Cuando lo escucho, sí escucho a Chris Cornell, pero no siempre escucho a Soundgarden.
Y ahora que viene un nuevo álbum, no puedo evitar preguntarme: ¿van a seguir por el mismo camino que King Animal, o van a recuperar parte del sonido que hizo a Soundgarden tan único en primer lugar? Creo que esa es la gran pregunta, y hasta que en realidad escuchemos el álbum, no hay forma de saberlo.
