BraveWords recently listed 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.
1) ‘Jesus Christ Pose’ (Badmotorfinger, 1991)
This malevolent Thayil riff marries Sabbatherian doom to the dark, tribal post-punk of Killing Joke and Bauhaus. With ‘Jesus Christ Pose’’ issued as an advance single from the album, we have memories of folks being freaked out at how thickly heavy Badmotorfinger was gonna be. And yet, sure, the album killed, but nothing was as lethal as this lead salvo to the temples.

9) ‘Room A Thousand Years Wide’ (Badmotorfinger, 1991)
8) ‘Been Away Too Long’ (King Animal, 2012)
