Soundgarden or Alice In Chains

Where is the poll eh?

 

Chris Cornell= Best Vocals i ever heard...

 

soundgarden

 

Alice in Chains. Vocals included. AIC had two singers to boot.

I like Soundgarden too.

 

I saw him open for Metallica when he put that first album out ('98). Was ok. I remember sitting there saying it was kinda like drinking Bud Light. The album underwhelmed me. Days Of The New was also on that show. Liked them much better.

Also saw Soundgarden's last tour in '96. Good show. Rage Against The Machine played before them. Metallica after.

 

I will hook you up brother.

 

I caught that tour at Coral Sky, you are right, Cantrell underperformed but I figured it was their first gig live sooo Days of the New sounded just like the album.. crisp, nice harmonies... very surprised at Lunatic on the grass from Cantrell but he played Would so I was happy

I voted Chains

 

Badmotorfinger is a bad mofo album. It's awesome. I freakin' love the song Rusty Cage. That tune makes you want to run through a wall or something. I love it!

 

Alice in Chains, Soundgarden was fine, but Dirt was the go to album for a long time.

 

Two good bands but Alice in Chains if I have to choose. Very good vocals and guitar.

 

i saw in the sky
i thought it was the end

i thought it was the fourth of july..........

 

i voted aic although i love all three bands. had the pleasure of seeing all three live and i just loved aic's flexibility from a music standpoint..they could play something very heavy then turn around and make a country song sound great.it's a shame their carreer was cut so short as i really felt they wee just starting to find themselfs as a pioneering band who had so much more to offer a wider variety of fans.

i didn't really care for cornell's solo stuff as it was too "happy pretty flowers" to me.

a coincidence of bringing up nirvana and the melvins as they played quite a bit together much like mother love bone. check out the melvins guitarist on nirvana's unplugged.

 

i loved both bands.

but i just couldnt stand audioslave.

 

another great band from the 90s

dammit gap stop making me nostalgic about that great decade

 

I went to the same show. Was on the lawn.

He closed with Dark Side of the Moon, which kind of sums it up IMO. I was never a big Floyd fan though.

Days of the New was great. What's crazy is that they were only like 18 years old.

 

Sorry to hear that, Muck

 

You said it.

I miss being a kid and going to shows.

 

I wasn't into drugs either.

Nah I like some songs. They're just not my taste overall.

I guess what I mean is, I was hoping for more rock from Cantrell that evening. It just lacked punch. Days of the New was great that day. Travis Meeks looked like Kurt Cobain reincarnated up there. He had that 'it' factor. And that's what Cantrell had to follow. It was a letdown.

 

It shows...since Pink Floyd doesn't actually have a song called Dark Side of the Moon. Just an album. Perhaps it was "Eclipse"?

I hope you know I'm just busting your stones-that is a very common mistake.

 

I guess it does.

I always thought it was called that, since those are the lyrics.

 

Alice In Chains

 

Staley and Cantrell could harmonized like no one else. I loved everything that they recorded including Sap and Jar of Flies. Alice in Chains wins this one...hands down.

 

you are correct. have the melvins on the brain from something. didn't the guitarist for the melvins do a special guest apperance on one of thethe mtv unplugged? maybe it was with aic that he played with?

yea ok i remember know. the same pat smear that also played with the foo fighters early on.

 

You know they are playing Soundgarden and Nirvana on my classic rock station. I wonder how many people feel old after hearing that.

 

Soundgarden, AIC was great and all but I'm still Full On Kevin's Mom.

 

1.The Beach Boys would disagree about the harmony issue.
2. Pat Smear was in the Germs, not the Melvins. He went on to join Foo Fighters.
3. The Kirkwood brothers were in the Meat Puppets.
4. Drugs make music sound better.
5. Jar of Flies is a horrible record. Dirt = Bacon-wrapped filet mignon; Jar of Flies = Big Buford. Sorry, but those songs are terrible.
6. Man in the Box is one cool-*** record.
7. I voted Soundgarden. The first 5 songs on Badmotorfinger are killer. Louder Than Love kicked me in the head when I first heard it. Superunknown coulda used some editing, but it rocks hard and is weird enough to stay interesting.
8. Both bands kicked *** live.

 

Thats a tough question... I voted Soundgarden though. I like them both though. Soundgarden i think I enjoy a bit more, simply because its something I can listen to at anytime, Alice in Chains on the other hand, its a bit darker and if i'm in a good mood, i don't really feel like listening to them. Both great bands though. I miss those days...

 

I know the LP that contains "Man in the Box" was called Facelift.

I'm old school. Man in the Box was released as a single. The term "record" means "single". The Grammys give out an award called "Record of the Year". It goes to the best recording of a single song. "Album of the Year" goes to the best long-playing phonorecord. "Song of the Year" goes to the best musical compositon.

I'm right. You are wrong. But I forgive you.

 

Done!

 

Soundgarden. Its not really close either. I like AIC but Soundgarden is just phenomenal. Kim Thayil is an extremely underrated guitar player and Matt Cameron is a beast on drums.

 

not to mention the classic "Ty Cobb"

 

One of my favorite songs to listen to at the gym. Good stuff
