In honour of our killer Soundgarden axe giveaway, the staff at BraveWords figured we’d pull out our old flannels and celebrate the Ten Greatest Soundgarden Riffs Of All Time.
Yes indeed, good ol’ swami of sound Kim Thayil has taken his slide rule to metal and calculated some beauties over the years, some of which the outshining old-timer has placed upon the band’s choice new album King Animal. Without further adieu, let’s shake the rusty cage and see which riffs of Kim’s snarl back.
6) ‘Get On The Snake’ (Louder Than Love, 1989)
Thayil turns in a little hair metal swagger, but still manages to make use of his slide rule, confounding with time signature madness despite the Joe Perry tradition of the meaty premise.
10) ‘By Crooked Steps’ (King Animal, 2012)
9) ‘Room A Thousand Years Wide’ (Badmotorfinger, 1991)
8) ‘Been Away Too Long’ (King Animal, 2012)
7) ‘Limo Wreck’ (Superunknown, 1994)
6) ‘Get On The Snake’ (Louder Than Love, 1989)
