@@joehynes5452 for sure, that’s what got me into them too. All the reactors I follow stems from Tool reactions when I think about it haha. The boys on Trash Talkers definitely joined the Tool army and represent.
I have also heard that Chris has said it’s about PTSD for veterans and how fireworks can trigger them to have attacks thinking there is gun fire going off and often we are celebrating the veterans service on the 4th of July. So it’s a bit ironic that we do that and potentially hurt them by celebrating their service. And I see where it comes from but also have read this story of his acid trip a few times too. Great review! Chris’s solo stuff is great as well as all Soundgarden albums and his lyrics on Audioslave are some of my favourite of all time.
I've always loved this song. It's so off kilter. The riff sounds so dark, dirgy & heavy, but then the vocals, lyrics & melody are so beautiful & cryptic. 🖤
Yesssss, love you for this. Happy 4th! When I think of "grunge" I think of dark abstract poetry combined with slow, sludgy, distorted guitar riffs. Most of the bands labeled as grunge came out of Seattle, known for the constant rain which can also be very depressing. I think you hear that in their music.
Saying Grunge is like "Meat on a smoker" is such an apt metaphor, very insightful! Grunge is dark, sorrow, hurt, pain that is so deep that it's become lethargic. That feeling of being so down that you just don't have the energy to do anything about it. The lyrics are usually poetic, sometimes meaningful too. I'd LOVE to see you two react to "Comet" by The Midnight sometime! Synthwave is such an amazing genre!
4th of July has always stood out to me on this album since I first heard it in 94. I used to listen to my dad's cassette tape of Superknown. I enjoy rediscovering music while watching your reactions! Thanks 😊
Grunge was a reaction to the previous decade of taking showmanship ( laser light shows, big pyrotechnics, hair spray, and glitter ) as far as it could go. Talent, great songwriting and passionate perfomances began to cut through the plastic, industry-driven, self-parody that eighties product had become. The opposite of performers in day-glo spandex, hair spray, and lipstick was those in ripped jeans or nylons, with unwashed hair and smudged make-up.
The best term Lex used was Raw! It’s real and undisguised. After the party life, hair band era, people embraced Grunge because it showed where this life may lead without putting lipstick on it. And a lot of people were suffering through it or dying because of it
I've been listing to this song, and LOVING IT for nearly 30 years, and I never knew the back story until watching your video! thank you! .....and now I love it even MORE!
Oh my God it's funny you say that about wine. I've often compared Soundgarden's music to to a fine wine. It can be liked and enjoyed by anybody really, but it'll be best appreciated by people who can understand its structure and its layers and what has gone into making it.
Meat on a Smoker is perfect for grunge. It just IS Seattle. Washington. Cloudy, rainy, Pacific Northwest. Flannel. Boots. Long hair. Of the earth. Real. Nothing phony. No bs. Just rock and roll with sprinkles of punk, classic rock, and country.
The idea of the song came while Chris was getting pulled over by the police, while tripping on acid. The lights reminded him of the fourth of July. Chris purposely wrote lyrics that meant nothing in particular. Yes he was amused when people tried figuring the meaning
I love the way she explained Grunge. If I had to explain it, I'd say it's raw, gritty, dirty, unpolished and pure and genuine. It's a mix of punk and metal.
It's nice to see someone doing something different for once...amazing dark album. The bass strings are practically falling off it's tuned so low...Happy Fourth of July 🎆
- The footage is of nuclear tests. - The song was based around a trip they took to an Native Reservation and dropped acid. - There was this guy from Seattle who was pretty good at playing guitar, called Jimi Hendrix. Who created a psychedelic take on the Star Spangled Banner. This was Soundgarden's shoutback. - To show how good this song is, the two voices singing are both Chris Cornell, which really shows off his range in a single song.
Grunge musicians were influenced by the Punk music scene of 20 years earlier. Grunge is post post punk rock And yes. 4th of July was about an acid trip Chris Cornell had.
I mean not all grunge is post punk rock, nirvana fits that description but none of the other big 4 fit that description especially SG and Alice In Chains. Grunge was more of a movement and acne and not a specific or genre, Alice In Chains sounds absolutely nothing like Nirvana but they’re still both 2 of the big 4 grunge bands. AIC were much more inspired by bands like Black Sabbath than any post punk stuff, Pearl Jam was also like more stadium rock type stuff but nothing like post punk.
Lex i love your analogy for grunge. I feel that for sure. It's imperfect, it's real, it's raw, it's dark, but they don't take themselves too seriously. There's almost a crunch in the guitar riffs (this being a great example of what I mean). There's a haunting quality to a lot of it that reaches into your soul..... early 90's Seattle rock bands is what you're looking at here, in terms of what's actually classified as grunge.
I think the word you were looking for near the beginning was "poetic." Chris's lyrics are often poetic. They're meant to evoke a feeling, rather than being a literal description of anything. In some ways I like this form of lyricism more, because it encourages you to listen to the voice part as an equal to the other instruments.
Also, I really hope yall get into more Chris Cornell music, as he's one of the greatest vocalist in modern rock. Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, and Audioslave are his bands, plus his solo work. In particular, his covers of "Billie Jean" and "Nothing Compares to You" are top notch. Love watching your reviews, and listening to your often deep commentary!
Chris Cornell once said that he writes the song but once he gives it away it's no longer his anymore it's in the consumer's hands to interpret it it in any way that it works for them
Chris will always be one of my favs, and from what I understand, he did very little editing. He would run with the first words that came to him. Tom Morello is one record saying that they played him a sing idea and Chris had coffee and stared at the ground. The next time they played it, Chris sang the entire thing! What a gift!
Grunge = "Sludgy" yet heavy instrumentals, deep/heavy (grimy/messy ie., grungy) lyrics.... that's how Grunge" has always read in my head anyway!! LOVE it!! ;)
Super rad that she picked up on those octave changes in the voices during the chorus. It’s haunting and one of the coolest parts of the song. This is a bad ass slow jam. Check out: Down, Bury Me In Smoke.
3:58 You were close on the visuals. The video had been playing old capture footage of nuclear detonation tests. Land and sea, both. The ship in that footage was an old decommissioned WW2 vessel being used in nuke tests during the Cold War, along with many others back in the days of nuke testing.
WOW was not expecting 4th of July as your second Soundgarden reaction. One of my fav Soundgarden songs!! Nothin like droppin some tabs on the 4th!! Chris' layered vocals is what makes this track so great. Man I love this album!! _Mailman, Just Like Suicide, Fell On Black Days, Day I tried To Live, Superunknown, Head Down_ shit I could list em all, just listen to this entire album
This has always been my favorite Soundgarden song. I always took it as a breakup song. The 4th of July is Independence Day. He was trying to ignore what was happening, but he was seeing and hearing it everywhere until he realized it was over and declared his independence from his tormenter
You earned a comment when you drew parallels between grunge and BBQ. Both rely on salt, grit, imperfections and heart, and the slower the better. Bravo.
I'm so glad you did this song, and so annoyed the algorithm has only now shown me! This is one of my favourite Soundgarden songs and one that NEVER gets touched on such channels. As for its meaning, it's left open to interpretation, but for me, it's about a personal, existential apocalypse, but that's just me though.
Happy 4th yall. Ready for some more AIC and a couple Audioslave reactions. Rain when i die, down in a hole, them bones, they got some more mellow songs on their later albums over now, nutshell, no excuses. Lovin yalls channel!
My take on ”grunge”: Heavy bluesy Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin grooves but with a more layered and progressive sound, at times almost jazzy, arty (and sometimes experimental) postpunk/new wave edge and feel set to Beatlesish melodies and introspective philosophical lyrics. I recommed you do ’Fell On Black Days’ next. I think you’ll might find the lyrics still relevant today.
thank's guy's for the quick response.hey love the way you guy's breakdown each video.you are truly doing reaction videos love it..another rabbit hole which i think you both will enjoy going down, is the Led Zeppelin experience.they have a huge catalog .and they are considered to be the G.O.A.T. of Rock & Roll....try starting with Kashmir. enjoy the rest of your 4th .
this is my ABSOLUTE FAVE....Soundgarden song......Jesus Christ Pose is a CLOSE SECOND. But this song is DEEEEP. It is soulfull, dark, very GRUNGE. But man.....it gripped me from THE FIRST moment I heard it. And I will say this, I love the MUSIC.....not the lyrics. I cant make any sense of the lyrics....the sound....the SOUND.....not the lyrics....is what made me love this song. And the fact that LEX said she did ACID during this react.......makes me love her EVEN MORE. Which I thought was impossible. You cute, and enlightened. Man.....
Beautiful description of Grunge 😁 It was a term coined by journalists about the bands coming out of Seattle in the late 80s early 90s. The main ones being Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. They are actually all quite different, Nirvana more punk influenced, Soundgarden more blues rock. But it struck a chord at the time as a reaction to the flashy ‘hair metal’ of the 80s, because it was more authentic and raw.
Check out some of Chris's solo work.... "Billie Jean" his acoustic cover of Michael Jackson's Pop song.... Chris turned it into something EPIC!! It'll give you goosebumps!!! Chris has a HUGE solo catalogue as well as his music with Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple Of The Dog (a one-time album in tribute to his late-friend Andrew Wood)... ***** Out of that collab PEARL JAM was born!! "HUNGER STRIKE" from T.O.T.D. is Crhis and Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam)... their voices together are also EPIC and will get you fired up Lex!! ;)
I love this song. Great to see someone doing a reaction to it, regardless of reasoning. Cornell's low register doubled with high register belting right thru the thing, on top of that dirty low-tuned core guitar riff, with bass & drums beefing it up into one of the most oppressive dirges you're ever likely to come across.... so satisfying. I got totally weirded-out when the song finished btw, & had to play the last couple of songs out immediately!! ("Superunknown" is very much an *album* to me, & should be listened to as such) :)
AHHHH.. Been one of my all time favs since I first heard it high as hell one crazy ass night in the early-mid 90's .....seen visions to this song, suddenly even the trash made sense. hahaha You have no idea how long I been waiting for this to hit a reaction channel! Interesting to see how others perceive it. LEX you should check out this entire CD Its called SUPERUNKNOWN I played it all the time non stop....you also have to understand what acid actually does to certain individuals .....to some it ain't just taking a drug, its the next level, as you see how he took the experience to the next lvl lol ...LEX, LIMO WRECK
No one does this song. Right on
Rappers react did it today too. Two great reaction channels.
@@MacAnAirchinnighJM Oh cool, I like those dudes, primarily because they are obsessed with MJK and Tool
@@joehynes5452 for sure, that’s what got me into them too. All the reactors I follow stems from Tool reactions when I think about it haha. The boys on Trash Talkers definitely joined the Tool army and represent.
Great song
Love this girl, she's officially a Grunge/Metal Head... Welcome.
Isn’t she the cutest thing?
True, but she had those red doc Martin's back in the day😊! You guys are an awesome couple and love all your reviews!
I have also heard that Chris has said it’s about PTSD for veterans and how fireworks can trigger them to have attacks thinking there is gun fire going off and often we are celebrating the veterans service on the 4th of July. So it’s a bit ironic that we do that and potentially hurt them by celebrating their service. And I see where it comes from but also have read this story of his acid trip a few times too.
Great review! Chris’s solo stuff is great as well as all Soundgarden albums and his lyrics on Audioslave are some of my favourite of all time.
I've always loved this song. It's so off kilter. The riff sounds so dark, dirgy & heavy, but then the vocals, lyrics & melody are so beautiful & cryptic. 🖤
The simultaneous escalating and deescalating tones on the chorus of Juuuuuullllllyyyyy is so eerie and killer
The lyrics in this song are unmatched
A bad acid trip
This track is like blues had a mental breakdown. My favourite Soundgarden track.
my absolute favorite as well, although boot camp comes close.
its a gooodun,
Soundgardens - Like Suicide is a beautiful song that rocks.
💯
Bird flies into the window and he goes outside and finishes it off with a brick and writes the most beautiful song about it.
My absolute fave Soundgarden song, underrated IMO.
@@clairash2004 criminally underrated man it’s such an awesome song
@@jacobansaldo7054 i whole heartedly agree.
Chris said once in an interview that lyrically this was his favorite Soundgarden song. I’m in total agreement!
The atmosphere of this song is SO heavy and just *dark.* it’s beautiful in a really morose way. I adore the vibe.
exactly
Yesssss, love you for this. Happy 4th!
When I think of "grunge" I think of dark abstract poetry combined with slow, sludgy, distorted guitar riffs.
Most of the bands labeled as grunge came out of Seattle, known for the constant rain which can also be very depressing. I think you hear that in their music.
This lady gets it! Soundgarden got an award for best Metal song… and they said…”ummmm we aren’t metal”
Saying Grunge is like "Meat on a smoker" is such an apt metaphor, very insightful! Grunge is dark, sorrow, hurt, pain that is so deep that it's become lethargic. That feeling of being so down that you just don't have the energy to do anything about it. The lyrics are usually poetic, sometimes meaningful too. I'd LOVE to see you two react to "Comet" by The Midnight sometime! Synthwave is such an amazing genre!
but also like meat on a smoker , it can be so moist and yummy too, don't forget the smoke ring!!
My favorite song by them, I love playing and singing this. My favorite by far.
Chris himself once said in an interview that lyrically, this was his favorite Soungarden song! And I agree, always been at the top of my list.
This song is about a bad acid trip during a fireworks show lol
"OUTSHINED" is also a must for a dive into Soundgarden!! ;) ;)
Slaves and Bulldozers. Chris kills it in this song. its a must hear
4th of July has always stood out to me on this album since I first heard it in 94. I used to listen to my dad's cassette tape of Superknown. I enjoy rediscovering music while watching your reactions! Thanks 😊

Its a song about an acid trip. Chris had experienced once when he was younger

How best to describe grunge? Raw/Dirty. A little smokey a little wet.
For me this was always on of Soundgardens darkest songs. First reaction I recall seeing. Thank you.
yeah this is the sludgier side of grunge: thick, dark, heavy
"Sludgy" would also be another good description.
Meat on a Smoker is perfect for grunge.
It just IS Seattle. Washington. Cloudy, rainy, Pacific Northwest. Flannel. Boots. Long hair. Of the earth. Real. Nothing phony. No bs. Just rock and roll with sprinkles of punk, classic rock, and country.

This song is a mood! Every time I hear it I get reminded how amazing soundgarden is
"it's like meat on a smoker! " Holy crap! Best thing I've heard in decades! OMG! Awesome analogy! Or something like that! Lol 😂
It's nice to see someone doing something different for once...amazing dark album. The bass strings are practically falling off it's tuned so low...Happy Fourth of July 🎆
That's a good way to put it. I could totally see the band members trying not to trip over their strings on stage during this song
“Slaves and Bulldozers “, good ‘heavy’ song by Soundgarden! RIP MR CORNELL😥
- The footage is of nuclear tests.
- The song was based around a trip they took to an Native Reservation and dropped acid.
- There was this guy from Seattle who was pretty good at playing guitar, called Jimi Hendrix. Who created a psychedelic take on the Star Spangled Banner. This was Soundgarden's shoutback.
- To show how good this song is, the two voices singing are both Chris Cornell, which really shows off his range in a single song.
"Slaves and Bulldozers" is by far my favorite Soundgarden song with "4th of July" coming in at a close second! 🤘🏼
Grunge musicians were influenced by the Punk music scene of 20 years earlier. Grunge is post post punk rock
And yes. 4th of July was about an acid trip Chris Cornell had.
Do you think they would like any of the punk music from the 70's?Maybe that's going too far back lol
Post post.
Nice.

True some bands were influenced by punk sabbat some t rex sabbath
Lex absolutely nailed 'grunge' 🙏❤️
Damn, I had almost forgotten how much I love this song! So heavy and dark!

30 years on, this song still gives me shivers.
Rusty Cage is a must, even Johnny Cash covered it!!
One of my favorite Soundgarden songs. Doesn't get the attention it deserves. I'm glad you reacted to it. Thanks.
The whole analogy about the wine was spot on 👌
One of my favorite Soundgarden songs- saw these guys tour the “Louder than Love” album back in the 80’s..... personally my favorite grunge band.
Such a bad ass song. Love the backing vocals by the guitarist Kim
Chris Cornell once said that he writes the song but once he gives it away it's no longer his anymore it's in the consumer's hands to interpret it it in any way that it works for them

This song absolutely kills. "Superunknown" was in endless rotation in my Walkman as a kid doing yard work.

Meteor shower.. but the bad kind.
