Dust off your flannel, prep your
stage-diving skills, and dial the
DeLorean for the early ’90s to
witness this hypnotically raw
performance of Soundgarden’s
“Jesus Christ Pose.”
Soundgarden’s official welcome
back party at Lollapalooza 2010
proved two things: Cornell’s
voice is still as fierce as ever,
and Thayil’s tone backs down to
no one.
The tar-dripping, swampy grinder
that is “Slaves and Bulldozers” is
quintessential Thayil—menacing,
down-tuned chords, deep string
bends, and a delay-minced wah
solo not to be missed.
