Thanks to VEDHEAD27 for pointing out that my previous Badmotorfinger thread is no longer around....back by popular demand...here it is again!!!

Show some fucking love for (just by slightly) my favorite Soundgarden album!!! There is no better 1,2,3,4 punch than Rusty Cage, Outshined, Slaves & Bulldozers, and Jesus Christ Pose!!! Holy shit...those 4 songs start a vibe that is continued out throughout the entire album!!!! This is Matt Camerons hayday for sure!!! The whole band was just so raw and pure....Chris's songwritting skills are highlighted on this album....this whole album just really speaks to me. So may great memories listening to this....

Share your love for Badmotorfinger!!!!!

    And you stare at me
    In your jesus christ pose
    Arms held out
    Like you’ve been carrying a load
    And you swear to me
    You don’t want to be my slave
    But you’re staring at me
    Like I need to be saved

    So fucking powerful!!!!

    badmotorfinger. it's my favourite sg album by far. it holds three of my top five songs by them:

    -slaves & bulldozers
    -somewhere
    -searching with my good eye closed

    (the others being birth ritual & burden in my hand)

    i'll always show this album lots o' love. it deserves it.

    This is one of my top 2-3 albums ever! Now my kid has developed a huge appreciation for it (probably from hearing it for the past 14 years of her 16 year old life!) and I couldn't be more proud!! She may even get one of my copies of SOMMS, if she's lucky....

    I like it best in my diskman, walking the streets among all the other people, and me hearing Chris's lyrics.
    I can't help but smile and have the feeling I know something they do not.

    I love outshined en drawing flies the best.

    Yep I fucking love Badmotorfinger if you hadn't already guessed it, although Superunknown is probably a more technically acomplished record, for all out raw power, Badmotorfinger is my favourite.

    oh yeh, i think super and upsisde are better, but i love this album just as much!

    I remember seeing them at George Mason University on what would be their last tour in 1996. When they went into the slowed down riff at the end of Rusty Cage. I was standing in the very back of the sports arena, and the floor was shaking. It was perhaps the defining rock and roll moment of my life...having that riff just shake through my skeleton :D

    I think Bulldozers is my fav track off of this album. The whole album rocks. I prefer it to Superunknown probably because it sounds less commercial, and the tunes are much heavier :D

    Woohoo! Excellent call aNiMaL. :D So great to see the love thread for this classic beast resurrected.

    Words seem so outta place when it comes to the holiness of BADMOTORFINGER. This album is seriously the epitome of classic. It holds such a special place in my SG lovin soul. I remember when it first came out. A teenager that had never been in love before, then along comes this badboy to completely change that. Head over heels love. The power is just undeniable. It grabs hold tight and refuses to let go!!! Throws you around the room like a fuckin ragdoll!!! Sooooo fierce, brutal, raw! Steal toe boots a stompin, hair & fists flyin all over the place. The album invokes this feeling time again-- like a flashback yet it's never dated. It takes us back, gets us all in touch with those early 90's roots...and it does this time and time again. Every blow to the jaw feeling like the first hit. Such a CLASSIC BEAST!!

    These super chunky, monstrous , I OWN YOUR ASS, sick as HELL riffs!?:eek: UH! I mean the unique tones that come outta this man are fuckin jaw dropping! The solos too?! DAYUM! Mind blowing guitar work all around. Some of my all time fav! *bows down repeatedly to the guitar god that is KIM* Ben and his funky, chunky, sometimes hypnotizing bass lines/slides... love it. He's so in sync with Kim yet his power stands out on his own (which I very much appreciate in bassists!) Ummm Matt?? :eek: Are you nuts? *chills* What an incredible beating! Said it before and I'll say it again...Matt's SG drumming = some of my fav drumming EVER done by anyone. A-mazing. I think he especially shines on BADMOTOR too. Oooh, and don't even get me started on the mighty pipes. :eek:!!! How in the? Peeling paint off the walls, chills all up and down the spine, piercing sharply through your heart, mind, body, soul....I mean who knew a voice could do this much?! It gives me chills everytime. Wether he's hitting a super high-not of this earth- note, a deep, earth erupting growl, or singing with that teeth grinding aggression ...the power is overwhelming. The intensity, passion & emotion behind "the voice" does extreme overtime on this album if ya ask me. It's at such a perfect place. It's beyond words. I really don't have any that could do it any kind of justice. It must be heard to be believed, and even then. :eek: In summary though, I think each member shines beyond belief. Each talent united as one to create a MONSTER of sound. It's all perfect.


    This album captures my entire being with every listen. The love/bond grows stronger and stronger. It just gets better and better each time! Never fails to fuel me with life & rock me to no end--headbanging like a mofo. :D \m/ It was this holy beast that started my never-ending love affair with an AMAZING fuckin untouchable band. An album so huge, so raw, soooo incredibly kick ass. The praise itself is ....never-ending.


    HAIL HAIL the badass motha that is~~~> BADMOTORFINGER!



    <~~ listening to SLAVES & BULLDOZERS

    *chills*

    I always feel that! Never having met anyone else who likes Mother Love Bone, mad season or temple of the dog and only a few who like soundgarden or PJ, I always feel nice knowing that I have been musically enlightened and they haven't :D
