Dave Grohl on Soundgarden

Again Dave Grohl just sits down and talks about something passionately. Mr. Grohl spends a few minutes talking about the Soundgarden album Superunkown. 


Superunkown turns 20 years old this year.

Soundgarden set list and recap

I've been meaning to post this since the weekend, and haven't gotten around to it, but my buddy ended grabbing a copy of the Soundgarden set list from their show at The Rave in Milwaukee on Friday Feb. 1st. A show that I also attended and was amazing.

 

This was by far one of the best concerts I have ever been to. Now I grew up listening to Soundgarden and they were easily one of my favorite non metal bands in that era. When they broke up in the late 90's I thought alright it's over I'll never get to see that band live. I'm glad I was wrong, from the moment they took the stage with "Been Away too Long" to the encore it was a night to be remembered. 

Keep in mind that there was no opening band, no huge stage show, no crazy antics, just four guys on the stage rocking for 2 and a half hours with no break. I think there is a lesson to be learned from other bands.

Rock bands don't lip sing

But of course pop stars do. The music community is an uproar over the fact that super pop star and Mrs. Jay-Z, Beyonce lip singed the national anthem during President Obama's inauguration on Monday Jan.21st. Is it a big deal that she did that? To be fair it was about 40 degrees which isn't exactly the greatest weather to sing in. As a purest I must say I don't agree with it, but the sheep who enjoy what ever pop culture tells them they must enjoy will continue to.

You know who didn't lip sing? Soundgarden. They rocked the Presidential ball later that night and performed "Been Away Too Long," "Rusty Cage," and "Outshined."

Rock bands don't lip sing.
