Like Suicide was the earliest single that is close to what I imagine Soundgarden would've sounded like unplugged.

this is pretty much exactly why i think a Soundgarden unplugged session would suck. it's not that it's a bad tune, and it's not that Cornell's acoustic demos are bad, not in the least.
...but can you imagine Kim Thayil trying to emulate the sound of a helicopter on an acoustic like he does for the intro to Jesus Christ Pose? there's no denying Cornell was the figurehead for the band, but you're focusing on the cult of personality if you don't recognize that it was Thayil's riffs that drove their sound, and that sound just doesn't carry as much punch when it's unplugged.
now... a Chris Cornell unplugged with choice SG tracks, and other random things he's done in the past with a few special guests here and there... THAT could be huge. though it should have happened just before announcing a reunion. |
