Total Fucking Godhead / The Soundgarden Thread

[DeLima]

I have it on good authority that it was recorded in the future.

This was a good post, tommy.

You need to be tougher on non-regulars posting in this thread zeb

tommy already has a place at the table.

the previews are down! I can't even listen to it! I hope it's from the past tho.

Judging from the preview, it sounded older to me, like it was recorded circa DOTUS. In other words it doesn't seem sound as crisp/clean as the "re-recording" of Storm. But again that's only judging from the very brief 30 second snippet. It sounds as bad ass as we could have hoped for though.

*DOTU

Shit, I did it again!! Sorry man

[tommymtcom]

Thanks Zeb.

I'm pretty psyched to get my hands on that rarities collection. For some reason I never really went out of my way to get any of Soundgarden's demos/bsides, so this will be a lot of new material for me.

[DeLima]

You're gonna enjoy it then. If you haven't heard the stuff like smokestack lightning and stray cat blues you're in for a treat.

I can't listen till I get home this evening but according the Sterogum press release, Thayil had this to say about the song:

"This is the original and ultimate studio version of “Kristi.” Recorded and tracked during the ‎Down On The Upside sessions, it was set aside, never mixed or mastered, and until now, never released. It was always considered an unfinished gem from the sessions. Thanks to producer Adam Kasper and Matt Cameron, who kept reminding the rest of us that it needed to be completed and released. Given a brilliant mix by Adam, this song delivers the doom, foreboding and tension that has long been a signature of much of Soundgarden’s songwriting, especially in our earlier works.‎"

[DeLima]

i think this gets the job done

[DeLima]

I have to say guys, this is one of those days I'm glad I hung around to see. I've been waiting for this song a long time.

[zeb]

Song fucking delivers.

[Mojopin]

Fantastic!

[ilpazzo]

Kristi... Damn..

The ONLY justification I can think of for it not making the cut, is it would NOT have fit in with the rest of the tracks on Down on the Upside.

Incredible.

[DeLima]

Yeah, where would you have tracked this on DOTU? If you sub it in for Never Named that makes one hell of an end to side 1: Burden => BOTUW => Kristi

[zeb]

Cut No Attention, slip Kristi in between Overfloater and An Unkind.

[bada]

DOTUS

[Dev]

sounds more superunknown than dotu.

I don't dislike it by any means but I'm not blown away either. Of course, unlike you guys I hadn't really listened to the live versions, either..

[zeb]

DOTUS

No.

[Revelator]

I'm a fan of King Animal and all but damn I miss this kind of Soundgarden. A lot. Can't believe this one has been buried for almost 20 years.
