Kim Thayil is one BAD ASS MOFO

reeferchief

Just listening to a live Soundgarden show and fuck me does Kim rip it up on Slaves And Bulldozers.
The guy needs to get something new going on, where he can play that guitar again.
:D:D:D:D

Jesus Christ Pose\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/\m/:eek::eek::eek::D This song is rocking my arse right now, please Kim start a new band and shred that guitar for what it's worth.:)

I loooooooove Kim Thayil's playing sooo much!! Those chunky ass riffs or fingers shreddin the fretboard..he is an inspiration unto all. I wish sooo much he'd come back into the music light and do a project, he is such an incredible talent to music, that it would be a pure loss to never hear any of his masterpieces again!

You watch this and tell me this man or this band in general wasn't fuckin phenomenal! Looove this performance, having both his chunkiness and shreddin coming into play, it proves to be a force to be reckoned with!

Kim Thayil is a powerhouse in every which form and would dearrrrly love it if he ever resurfaced!

*bows down to the badass mofo Kim Thayil* :D:D

CenterCity

kim is awesome; he's our trailblazer.
i know.....haven't heard too much from him since soundgarden. why doesn't he form another band or join another one?
i can't even imagine, what his parents had to say when he decided to play music for a job. lol. wow.
we luv you kim!

I also listened to SU today and also some b-sides including kareoke, blind dogs, bleed together, and she likes surprises. TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY!!!! Long live the mighty Thayil.

After last nights listen I meant to grab it for the drive to work and was so pissed when I forgot. I'll have it for tomorrow.

DOSW

Kim and Ben Shep should join up and start a new band... I'd buy that album in a second. Soundgarden fucking rules. Kim is the man, but I think each member of that band is as cool as the next member.

And Slaves & Bulldozers kicks my ass. I wish I were as cool as that song.

Bumpin this bad ass uppp!

Was just listening to Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger back to back, and holy shittt! The power comin outta this man is inhuman! From one riff to next he is just sending this blazing trail of fury and passion ever further. Much awe and love for what Thayil is capable of!!!

stateofloventrust12

JESUS H. CHRIST! I LOVE KIM
i had to on some badmotorfinger after reading this!!

IM GONNA BREAK MY RUSTY CAGE . . . . AND RUN

aaaaaaah ! fuck yes

VEDHEAD27

Oh are you kidding me?! :eek: This is MY kinda thread right here! Major props reef! Major props!

SG RUUUULES MY LIFE (well other than PJ of course. )

And (((KIM)))??? \m/ This is THE mother fuckin bad ass right here! I have SO much love and respect for this guy!! He was, is and always will be one of THE baddest mofos around. Nothing can compare to or duplicate this sound. His super chunkified riffs & unique 'I OWN YOU' style will forever shred my life! No matter how many times I've heard the man rip it up on something like Jesus Christ Pose (perfect example) it NEVER fails to floor me and more often than not I am forced to "uhhhh" out loud due to the extreme sickness of it all. I am forever in awe.

"From one riff to next he is blazing trail of fury and passion ever further"

PERFECTLY said my girl. I could not agree more. And yes, like the untouchable/how in the fuck? vocalist of the mighty SG, Kim also has superhuman strength! It's true!

Anyone that has seen live footage or that was among the blessed that saw SG live know that he SERIOUSLY demands you...that stage presence is as fierce as the shredding. haha. Evily stalking the audience with those possessed like eyes that look like they're about to pop outta his head! haha. Looking like he's about to eat us. haha. He is such a beast! I looove it! I LOVE THIS MAN! I miss him so much.

Everything about SG is Untouchable...including this bad ass motha!
\m/\m/\m/

*bows down repeatedly*
WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!!!

Fuck Yeah he is!!!!!

Was there every any question???

Theres about ten SG shows for download in this thread, and one Chris Cornell solo show:) the one I was listening to was the Austin, Tx one.:)

I think I need to give the neighbours a bit of BadMotorFinger before I go pay the bills.:D

DCGARDEN

I truly understand why Cornell got so much of the attention during Soundgarden's glory, as I think he's an amazing talent, but SG always had a tremendous guitar sound that was unlike anything else. This guy was fantastic.

so has Kim really done nothing since the end of SG??? No collaborations? Guest appearances?

Yep! The BAD ASS appeared at the AIC show in Seattle last month!! :eek: I feel my heart break even more each time I type/say/think about that. He shreddin it up with AIC on fuckin~~> IT AIN'T LIKE THAT!!!! :eek:

Full on freak out on sooo many levels, but also a huge sigh of relief knowing that the man is still alive.

I know these bands have been with me through the high times, the low times since becoming a teenager, Soundgarden, AiC, Pearl Jam, Nirvana they have been there and guided me through my journey of life like my four best freinds never abandoning me:)
Excuse my drunkeness but their music touches me like nothing else like a spiritual connection, just blows me the fuck away:)

VEDHEAD27

Silly! No need to be excused. I am right by your side...YEAH! Well...on the whole "guided me through my journey of life" deal anyway...not the drunky part.

These bands are SUCH a huge part of who I am. Total spiritual connection. No doubt about it. My relationship with this music has outlasted any boyfriend. One of the longest and most beneficial relationships to date.

I know silly me:) just felt like I was rambling a bit just never excpected to connect to music in such a way:D

Kim and Jerry worked at a Photomat together back before their bands became world famous.

Kim played in the No WTO band with Jello Biafra. He also played on Probot, and I think he played on one song for a WWC album. From everything I've heard through friends, he's not interested in the music business anymore. He still plays, but he's got nothing to prove by going out and starting or joining someone else's band. He said as much a yer or two after SG broke up...something to the effect of "I played in the best band in the world. I have no interest in being a hired gun, or that "black hole sun" guy in someone else's band"

:eek: OMG!!! How in the world did i manage to miss this news?! Jeeesusss. I'm so glad to hear that he is still doing something to that extent, that literally made my night, lol!

And how much I love this band..even including PJ, AIC, etc it is incomprehensible to even think of how much I love what they have given us. Soundgarden will, as for me as well, always hold suuuch a grip on me such a passion for the band and music they made in itself. Froms Songs like Beyond the Wheel and I Awake to Fell On Black Days and Zero Chance..their diversity in music just baffles and inspires me. To see how they started musically and where they ended is just unbelievable, even more, doing so and keeping their natural element and allowing the music to get better and better even when thought impossible. They have truly taught us so much..even without speaking to us directly. And one can seem to grasp on to that amazingness and just love it for what it is. And making you love the music, unbelievably able to, even more than before. Sorry if I seem to be rambling..but goodness..what this music they create, or any in general, can do to you, eh?..

The one thing that they all seem to agree on is that they went out on top, while other bands don't seem to know when to quit. The only shot I think we have of a reunion would be an induction into the Rock & Roll hall of fame...and then only if they could keep Kim from over-thinking it.

I bet he has some kind of blistering indictment of the HoF ready to go if/when that day comes. Kim is way too bright for the music business.

I don't think some of the members of SG really wanted the disband :( Matt said he wished he was more involved in Chris' solo album...

I think Kim is just resting. yeah, yeah, yeah. Shred, baby!
