    absolutely brilliant song. I love the lyrics and I love cornell's vocals.

    this song is my favorite song ever by any band BESIDES PEARL JAM..out of everything excluding pj, this song is godly. just un-fucking-believeable. the vocals are out of this world, the jams are amazing..so edgy..and the lyrics ahhh those lyrics..just something about this song just makes me ahhh i cant even describe it..just that chorus - "she lived like a murder, how she flyed so sweetly, she lived like murder, but she died..just like suicide" ahh and the way chris sings it is so amazing..without a doubt in my mind, best soundgarden song ever..who agrees? or at least has some major love for this song?

    I like Limo Wreck better, but you are correct Like Suicide is pretty damn good.

    This is proabably my favorite Soundgarden song but, has anyone else noticed it sounds a lot like Neil Young's Fuckin Up???? I noticed it for the first time the other day in the opening, before Chris comes in.

    Tough call. Like some have already said 'Limo Wreck' is pretty damn good.
    Got a bit of a thing for 'Pretty Noose', think it's a great song.
    I listen to SG quite often, so my fave seems to change. 'Holy Water' is top right now.

    Possibly my favorite Soundgarden song... I wouldn't say best song EVER, but it's up there for me.

    BUT, that solo is probably my all time favorite, out of any guitar solo ever.

    i always thought that rusty cage was their best song ever... even though it's a johnny cash song. but like suicide is indeed a great song.

    yes, a brilliant song.

    its amazing to think how such a seemingly small event (a bird flying into his door, and suffering a broken neck, and then chris having to put it out of its misery) could inspire such a great a beautiful song. i love the way the lyrics compare love and suicide as having mutual similarities, it provokes great thought.

    rusty cage was written by chris cornell. it was cash who did a cover of it.

    Cool, I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I love the drums in that song, so intense. And the lyrics are amazing, too.
