GRUNGEREPORT.NET EXCLUSIVE REVIEW OF SOUNDGARDEN’S LIVE ON I5

I received a review copy of Soundgarden’s Live on I5 yesterday to my surprise. The album is Soundgarden’s first live album and it chronicles their run of west coast shows in late 1996 during the latter part of the band’s Down on the Upside tour. Live on I5 will be released on March 22nd through A&M/UMe. The mixing sounds great on the album, the vocals aren’t too loud or too quiet in the mix, everybody is heard. Chris’ vocals also haven’t been doctored or polished. Since this is a live album and most Soundgarden fans know all of the songs, I thought rather than writing a contrived traditional review I would write up some notes while listening to the album for the first time instead:

-The album kicks off with the band’s intro music and the crowd roaring as Soundgarden kick off with Spoonman. Ben’s bass breakdown sounds great .

-Kim’s solo on Searching With My Good Eye Closed is mind blowing, the best on the album. Chris also hits the high notes perfectly.

-Head Down sounds great, actually sounds very close to the album version unlike some songs like Burden In My Hand which don’t exactly give off the same vibe live as the studio version. Matt has a cool drum outro here.

-Chris says the following after Let Me Drown “Thanks…it’s nice to be up here finally, sitting around in the fucking cold all day sucked.”

-Chris’ voice obviously sounds different from the Badmotorfinger era on Outshined, but his rougher vocals give the song a different edge.

-Chris introduces Rusty Cage by saying “This is for the man in black.” The bass is front and center on Rusty Cage.

-Helter Skelter meticulously mixes the bass and guitar, fading into Boot Camp. The two actually sound quite fitting together.

-This live version of Nothing to Say is quite possibly even better than the studio version.

-Dusty is more upbeat than the studio version with a riff laden opening.

-Slaves and Bulldozers has the second best Kim solo behind Searching With My Good Eye Closed.

-Soundgarden’s cover of Search and Destroy is true to the original while also putting their own spin on it, including Kim’s intro and solo.

-Ty Cobb skips the laid back intro and immediately kicks in; it is definitely far more fast paced than the studio version.

-Black Hole Sun is a stripped down version of Chris’ voice and an electric guitar, it actually comes off better live than the full version does when performed. It makes you realize how genius Chris’ melody is.

Favorite songs:

Searching With My Good Eye Closed
Ty Cobb
Slaves and Bulldozers
Black Hole Sun

Live on I5 is definitely a meatier release for diehard fans of Soundgarden than Telephantasm was. I know some fans were a bit critical of the band for choosing to only chronicle the 1996 tour on this album, but it works. I may be biased though since Down on the Upside is my favorite Soundgarden album. Listening to this made me think about how awesome it would be to have a live Soundgarden DVD. It would be cool to get some sort of DVD 2 pack with a show from the 90’s and a reunion era show. Maybe throw in a DVD version of Motorvision. Anyways, Live on I5 should help hold over fans while Soundgarden are currently holed up in Seattle working on a new album.

Greg Prato of RollingStone.com recently conducted an interview with guitarist Kim Thayil of reunited grunge legends SOUNDGARDEN. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

RollingStone.com: Why was there not a full tour after Lollapalooza last year?

Kim: The thing that got in the way of that the most, Matt [Cameron] had PEARL JAM obligations and Chris [Cornell] had some solo obligations. It took a lot to catch up on 13 years. You have to learn a whole bunch of songs to get ready for a few shows, and of course, putting out [compilation album] "Telephantasm". And the "Black Rain" video. I was representing the band, supervising "Telephantasm" from artwork to track listing. So that was a big project. Then starting on mixing, mastering, and designing the artwork and packaging for the "Live On I5" album. And Ben [Shepherd] wrote and recorded a solo record in that period too, that hasn't been released. It was a very busy year for us.

RollingStone.com: Is there any talk of SOUNDGARDEN doing a full tour soon, as opposed to just one-off dates?

Kim: I think we're definitely interested in playing live again. It would be more satisfying if we were to get that momentum rolling. It's never ultimately satisfying to play a one-off show here and there, because you don't have the subsequent nights to redeem yourself if there is something that you feel went unsaid or something you feel went unexpressed or something you could do better. And the cool thing about being on a tour is there is always the next night. You have great nights, you have nights that aren't so great. And when you're on tour, you can build on that momentum.

RollingStone.com: Any chance of a full summer tour?

Kim: I think Matt's got some PEARL JAM commitments coming up, but we're always talking about stuff. There's always ideas. I don't mean to be vague, but we're always talking to each other and jamming with each other, and I think it's probably likely that we'll be playing live. And I think we would be happier to do that in tour form than just to do it as one-offs. If nothing's on paper or in stone, I wouldn't want to disappoint people – other than we want to do that and we're definitely talking about that.

RollingStone.com: New material?

Kim: We are jamming. Just getting to re-learn and re-love each other in a creative fashion. And it's wonderful, it's been going great. Everyone's happy, and there are a lot of ideas being thrown around. We do apologize that we haven't been able to share the past few months with our fans, because it really has been a couple of months of a lot of creative insight and sharing amongst the band members. Although there are many of our fans that would love us to be entertainers, we love that too, but the one element that we hadn't fully re-explored and re-established is the creative element. The creative partnership is certainly the one we wanted to set aside time to enjoy, and that's what we've been doing over the past few months. And I really would like the fans to know that.

Chris Cornell Talks New Soundgarden Album:

Soundgarden is "ready to kick it up a notch, sonically" as it heads into the studio next week to start work on its first new studio album in a decade and a half.

Drummer Matt Cameron tells Billboard.com that "there's a little bit of evolution going on with some of this new music, but we're not straying too far from the formula. It has all our signature elements -- and more. I think people are going to really love it."

Cameron says that after reuniting in 2010 for a few shows, including Lollapalooza, and the release of the "Telephantasm" compilation, Soundgarden got together in early December to "see if we could actually get the old juices flowing again. Lo and behold, we were able to write a bunch of really cool songs, and I think we're at the stage now where we want to just put them onto tape, or ProTools, and take it from there."

The writing session generated 12-14 songs that Cameron says "are kind of ready to go," but he also expects that "once we get into a studio environment, we'll come up with new ideas and rearrange what we have." The existing songs, he says, are "about 90 percent new," but some draw on ideas that date as far back as 1996's "Down on the Upside," as well as some riffs he wrote around 2008. "We've tried to update the super-old stuff," he says. "It doesn't sound too old and dusty and crusty to my ears -- but maybe to someone else it will. I think guitar-based music is not really as popular as it has been in the past, so it might sound kind of out of date or out of tune with what's going on right now. Or it might be a breath of fresh air to have an unabashedly loud guitar band out there."

Well before a new album comes out, however, Soundgarden will deliver "Live on I5" on March 22, the group's first official concert album that was recorded during West Coast dates on its final tour in 1996. The set includes favorites such as "Spoonman," "Rusty Cage," "Fell on Black Days" and "Black Hole Sun," as well as covers of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and the Stooges' "Search & Destroy."

"Pretty soon after we got home from that tour we broke up," Cameron says, "so those tapes were just collecting dust. Once we got them out and we listened to them, we realized we had a pretty cool record that we could certainly include in our relaunching of the catalog."

"Live on I5" will give the group a bit of a buffer for making its new album, and Cameron says Soundgarden has no desire to rush anything into the world. The group does hope "to do some (live) playing this summer, for sure," but no dates are in place yet. And Soundgarden will also be competing with frontman Chris Cornell's solo tour, which kicks off April 1 in Austin, Texas, and Cameron's obligations to Pearl Jam as it celebrates its 20th anniversary with some expected festival-style performances in the fall and continues work on its own new album.

"We just have to take (Soundgarden) one step at a time," Cameron says. "I think we just naturally decided to play music together again because that's what we enjoyed the most. It's still kind of a natural band. To lock up in a room together and write music together and play together that is uniquely our own thing feels very right again".
