Kim Thayil

Soundgarden's final album, the one with Cornell's last recordings on it, it's in post-production right now.

Kim Thayil described it last week as a lullaby paired with psychedelia.

The band played, the stadium got it.

Everyone watching at home got a commercial break.

And remember the whole, the whole concept of these is I'm just like a Q and a moderator.

I mean, I'm saying some good things too, here and there, there are, you know, um, as we go through it, but the idea was, you know, I've got a whole panel of people on here, Metallica experts, people who are going to focus on lyrics, people who are going to focus on music, some big rock stars, Kim Thayil from sound gardens here.

Right.

Um, and, um, And yeah, it's it literally is what I like about these books is they're beautiful.

He is the lead singer and guitarist who founded the heavy metal band, Wasp.

Kim Thayil was born in 1960, co-founder, lead guitarist for Soundgarden.

Igor Cavalera was born in 1970, Brazilian musician who found heavy metal fame as the drummer.

for the metal band Sepultura.

He looks like a grungy kind of dude, doesn't he? Right.

Like, like he looks like he could be like the guitar player, like Kim Thayil from Soundgarden or something.

And on the right there, you have St. John the Apostle, and he's looking really nice, and he's got nice robes on and stuff like that.

These are a representation of the unity of opposites, okay? This is what they are.

This one comes out October 8th, 1991, produced by Terry Date.

double platinum very cool um super unknown goes six times platinum down on the upside goes platinum and then king animal not expected to certify it and it doesn't certify but yeah this uh this band got really big with super unknown this was them just becoming better songwriters rusty cage has got that crazy riff and the dropped beat and the and the great uh matt cameron drumming on it you know essentially uh what we have here ben shepherd's in the band Kim Thayil said Shepard's contributions help make the album faster and weirder.

Although this song is written just by Chris music and lyrics, which is amazing because it is a really cool technical heavy track.

So a bunch of the songs on this album, alternative tunings, Rusty Cage, Searching With My Good Eye Closed and Holy Water, all with the bottom E string tuned to down to B.

It's gonna be amazing.

And Kim Thayil has played on The Pretty Reckless albums before.

Mm-hmm.

So they, they have a long working history.

It's that simple.

Halftime at a football game is a strange place for one of the heaviest bands America ever produced, but it's their city, it's their stadium, and Kim Thayil playing Rusty Cage over a Seahawks crowd is gonna be something.

Bad Wolves have been removed from Skillet's fall tour, and their singer decided not to let anyone guess why.

Quick timeline.
