It’s not even though you’re not wrong. It’s about an obsessive mail carrier that stalks a woman ( presumably). “Heading for the bottom “is getting caught.
@@hermajestyjenn7928 The song has nothing to do with a woman. Chris Cornell himself has said that “Mailman” is about going postal and killing your boss.
Love how it barely sounds different from the recorded version. Cornell’s voice is so beautiful. Him and Layne are the huge staples of grunge vocals in my personal opinion
That's it surprises me that neither soundgarden or Alice in Chains have been inducted in the rock n roll hall fame yet. Heck, they had Pearl Jam inducted the year Cornell passed yet not Soundgarden?
They recorded Limo Wreck and Mailman with Teles because the single coils offered more clarity with the lower, double-drop tuning that both songs featured.
Chris Was Such An Amazing Musician. I don't care what anyone says he was the Greatest Rock Singer of all time. The Man could Sing Anything. Great Band.
@@robvig absolutely man, Chris could have just been a singer. The fact that he picked up the guitar 🎸and learned how play to write music to contribute to the song writing process goes to show his die hard work ethic. He wasn't the best player in the world or anything but wow could he write a song. Very Tallented!.!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
This was Soundgarden at their peak...when this was filmed they were hands down the best band on the planet...I remember,I was 22 when this album came out & I listened to obsessively for about 2 months 🤘🏻
If it was 1994 that you are referring to, you might be the same age as the guys Green Day, it depends if you were turning 23 in ‘94, you’d be the same age as my dad if you were turning 23 that year. So that’s cool beans
I was 9 years old when Superunknown came out and I got this album from my father's guitar 🎸player from his band. He said "I think you will like these guys ". I listened to this album over and over.
sew Cornell 3 times on stage. solo electric, solo acoustic and with soundgarden is israel. his voice and stage presence is something that cannot be described in words. I felt like electricity ran through my brain. Simply the best
Still almost 3 years later and I still am stunned that Chris is gone. 2 days before he passed I was online looking to buy tickets for them provided they would be playing in Chicago or Milwaukee. On that tour they were not so I said well they we be back through the Chicago area soon enough. 2 days later on my way into work when I heard the news on the radio. I regret never seeing him perform live.
I just love the mellow rage in this. the lyrics just feel so betrayed. so depraved of something. it makes me feel better. thank you soundgarden for things very select few could accomplish for me. im trying not to make that awful decision in the moment. i gotte keep my head straight. i need these simple things in life to help me patch it up at times. thank you
@@robwalsh9843 that’s intriguing. I don’t recall the Beatles making any relatively dark records, but I’m not a fan so I wouldn’t know. Hmm, I suppose there is that psychedelic element occasionally…
Always felt this right here was the best televised soundgarden live performance, the sound, the performance, everything really on point etc, they were really at their peak heading into Down the Upside release......and then they called it quits. Going out on a high
3:04, awesome musicianship, how Chris slides down the neck on his guitar and Kim starts playing the verse riff again while he's doing that, simple but gives a great feel.
Those last words sung with that much power and he still hit every single note at perfect pitch. Very few singers can do that live, even some of the great ones have difficulties with that kind of live singing.
What an amazing artist, amazing song, amazing performance, this man has to be the most talented human being in my lifetime, I am incredibly lucky and proud to have lived at the same time as he, I only wish I might have crossed paths at some point in time, just to have met him, shook hands, said hey, anything, God please bless this man, he touched so many with his music, he's still touching many lives RIP CHRIS
I'll never forget waiting for Superunknown to come out in 93 was it ? This was the heaviest song on there so I jammed it alot but loved it all. I was 32 and an aging rock fan and still am at 62. I sure miss Soundgarden and all those bands from the day. Mailman always stood out for me what an amazing song from this amazing band
I listen to this Every day What I'd give to see #Soundgarden play this Live, Together again Chris. When you left. You took a piece of my heart with you 💞
Potato level mid 40s bassist and longtime SG fan here. It's 2024 and when I say that THIS RIGHT HERE Mailman is THE ONLY "HOW TO MAKE YOUR TELES SOUND DOOMY 101" track ever I mean it... I've YET TO FIND OR HEARD OF ANY OTHER GUITARISTS IN ACTS OLD AND NEW to have ever successfully come close to how this 2 have done it in this performance. Truly 1 of a kind. With one of them sorely missed gone too soon. Underscores the immortal importance of Soundgarden's contribution to rock and roll.
Been/Seen +100 live concerts fr 1992~Prsnt. May2013 Soundgarden @Memorial Hall, Kansas City. Lolololololololololol..THE ONLY time where my ears LITERALLY rang for next 4days after......was awesome! (We were standing room area, 10ft fr Cornell.)

This called Mailman cuz they delivered this song perfectly
Damn that’s good

FO SHO!

Chris sounds *better* than the record?..... perhaps. Excellent example of what his voice could do, either way..
Exactly. Kurt may have been the "Face of Grunge" but Chris was the Voice and Layne was the Soul.
THE Mailman performance.
Completely. The best.
Enough said!
Legendary performance
One of Cornell's Finest! 💞
I already 'Loved' this comment
But.
How haven't I found your channel before today??
You've got some boss stuff
@Rusty_Cage 🤘🏼💞
Definitive
God he sounds out of this world. Lord take care of Chris Cornell. Rest In Peace our sweet legend.
Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 🙏💐
A testament to the underrated heaviness of the telecaster. I love Les Pauls and SGs, but a tele can deliver a crushingly heavy stomp too.
bruh this is gonna get posted in r/guitarcirclejerk lmao
Stick some hot pickups in any bit of wood, send it through some pedals and it'll sound the same.
@@imNotYourDad8000 I'll take it
@@DaveTaste only roughly. There's a certain "cut" to different guitar sounds. The tele has a certain twang/float that a lot of other guitars don't.
They recorded Limo Wreck and Mailman with Teles because the single coils offered more clarity with the lower, double-drop tuning that both songs featured.
No one will ever sound like this again, ever. When the camera panned Chris and his eyes just turned to black holes. Gave me shivers.
shadap
Same..
Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer so sad he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP 💐💙
His voice just comes from another world. Pure perfection. Heartbreaking and mind-blowing. And that bass! I could listen to this all day every day!
Chris Was Such An Amazing Musician. I don't care what anyone says he was the Greatest Rock Singer of all time. The Man could Sing Anything. Great Band.
That's a fact right there! And this. Well,. It speaks for itself
R I P CC Legend 💯🤘🏼🖤
Think he got better on the guitar after this.. i think he found his ‘brand’ 😆

Two months? Those are rooky numbers kid
I was 9 years old when Superunknown came out and I got this album from my father's guitar 🎸player from his band. He said "I think you will like these guys ". I listened to this album over and over.
Argument that Pumpkins and Oasis were but a decent shout
@@tonyhall3365 Those bands are good. Nothing compared to Soundgarden, however
04:17 ...... that is vocal devastation. No one in rock even close to this right now.
And never will...
My Favorite Soundgarden Song. I know I’m heading for the bottom......but I’m riding you all. The way. Fuck yeah
Ever?
I mean, I agree. I miss that that guy so much.
Agreed. Only person on his level was Layne Staley and even then I think Chris had the higher vocal range.
This song could be a Phd paper on resentment.
Brilliant.
slow and seething hatred, choking and virile, like a wicked infection.
Caught the feeling of the abused workers.
New covid variant:
Yessir it's one hell of a love song 😂🤘
the most powerful song of all time. I've heard since 94 and the feeling is the same.
Agreed
Love this song
Album was a staple of mine and it took so long for this to become my favourite
Yes bruv, totally agreed
Check out Cold Bitch, even better
How does this not have more views?
Unbelievable. Seriously
I pity those who haven't seen this
Yes I agree and awesome singer Chris Cornell sad he passed may Chris Cornell RIP
Heavy, dark and beautiful song! One of my favorites. Thanks!
sew Cornell 3 times on stage. solo electric, solo acoustic and with soundgarden is israel.
his voice and stage presence is something that cannot be described in words.
I felt like electricity ran through my brain.
Simply the best
Highly underrated song. This and 4th of July was always my faves from Superunknown.👍
Still almost 3 years later and I still am stunned that Chris is gone. 2 days before he passed I was online looking to buy tickets for them provided they would be playing in Chicago or Milwaukee. On that tour they were not so I said well they we be back through the Chicago area soon enough. 2 days later on my way into work when I heard the news on the radio.

I only saw them once in Virginia in 99 and wish I had seen them more.
30 years ago today, still awesome
MTV used to pass this video often in 1996 . I was 16 .
dark and beauty... love so much Chris... say hello to heaven
Matt Camerons drumming is like his face. Angular and chiselled.
Andy M youll find you can tell a lot about someones personality in general by analyzing their facial structure and expressions.
That's the coolest and funniest definition i've ever read lol
That's the most ignorant comment I've heard all day. Go get your palm read now jackass.
Matt is a legend and very underrated. So very versatile
This song was actually written by Matt. Easily one of their most underrated songs.
I just love the mellow rage in this. the lyrics just feel so betrayed. so depraved of something. it makes me feel better. thank you soundgarden for things very select few could accomplish for me. im trying not to make that awful decision in the moment. i gotte keep my head straight. i need these simple things in life to help me patch it up at times. thank you
When MTV mattered.
morphinlounge101 MTV Videos Matter
@@dobermanplaces stop
100 percent!
MTV is still around?
120 Minutes show, was so important in terms of what happened in early-mid 1990s.
Full blown Alternative Music Revolution!
(1991-95)
I just found out that Matt Cameron wrote the music for my favourite tracks of Superunknown: this one, Fresh Tendrils and Limo Wreck
I like how he turns his back at the end as if to say have that you bastards!
Once again showing how versatile the Fender Telecaster is.
Four amazing musicians!!
Yes I agree awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer,RIP💐
indeed
My guilty pleasure. This band rocked my youth. A twist of Sabbath and Zeppelin. 🤘
That's exactly my definition for them.
This album was basically Beatles with Zeppelin and Sabbath woven in.
@@robwalsh9843 that’s intriguing. I don’t recall the Beatles making any relatively dark records, but I’m not a fan so I wouldn’t know. Hmm, I suppose there is that psychedelic element occasionally…
yeh the psychedelic thingy and maybe check Revolver album or songs like İ Want You
@@all.the.same.iProductions the Beatles sophisticated songwriting mixed with heavy sound of sabbath with the power vocals of Zeppelin
Raw Cornell, pure rock and his proficient band mates.
2021 and I'm still in love for this band. I really miss Chris and Soundgarden
2022 and same!!!!
@@kylehegedus5498 2023....still the same story 😁
@@maset82024 and still the same
"I'm riding you all the way"
Nobody: Telecaster don't sound heavy
Soundgarden: Yes, they sound MONSTROUS 😊
The most powerful lyrics of all time
"For all of the times
when
you made me disappear
this time
I'm sure you'll know
that I am here"
Tightest band in the fucking world at that time. Love playing this song on guitar. RIP CC
I come here every so often.
I'm here right at this moment 🎉😊
Those Telecasters sound so mean...
👍
Hell yeah
This video is why I now own two
I had no idea telecasters could sound this heavy!!! Fucking BADASS!!! RIP Chris
Koliko volim ovog čoveka, ustvari, koliko volim ovu ekipu...

Awesome group Chris Cornell a awesome singer ❤
I think it's Cornell's voice plus his expressions that make the music feel so good.
Always felt this right here was the best televised soundgarden live performance, the sound, the performance, everything really on point etc, they were really at their peak heading into Down the Upside release......and then they called it quits. Going out on a high
Finally my favorite Soundgarden song in HD,and my favorite concert too
My place was beneath you but now I am above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you won't see
A future so holy without me
My guilty pleasure. 👌
Matt wearing the Screaming Trees "Dust" T-shirt! 🙂
His facial view is so great it feels like a man talkin to the Gods 💞
Happy birthday Chris, you're forever in our hearts ♥️
Chris Cornell a awesome singer will keep him in my heart always 💜❤️
Hands Down: Perfection!
Production of this whole show was ace
Two Telecaster attack!
"Did a Fender truck wreck in front of the Soundgarden tour bus?" -Was my 1st thought.
@@russwilson2305it might have been a Fender limo that wrecked
Soundgarden a awesome group and Chris Cornell a awesome singer so sad he passed away, May Chris Cornell RIP 💐💙
So powerful and perfect. My fave on this album followed closely by Tendrills.
badass chris RIP bro!!!!
This needs a real release
Perfect in every way.
I Love this song and especially this performance. Thank you for this high quality upload.
3:04, awesome musicianship, how Chris slides down the neck on his guitar and Kim starts playing the verse riff again while he's doing that, simple but gives a great feel.
Well I think they didn't did this for purpose....its an awesome co-incidence😅😅
@@anmolmishra7369 yes it kind of looks like an "in the moment" thing, makes it even better in my opinion :)
Those last words sung with that much power and he still hit every single note at perfect pitch. Very few singers can do that live, even some of the great ones have difficulties with that kind of live singing.
Yes I agree Chris Cornell a awesome singer and sad that he passed away May Chris Cornell RIP
dark, hipnotic......thats soungarden
There will be a day when I'll be able to listen to this without crying, but today is not that day. Chris you're so missed 💔
Badass performance why cant music be like this today in 2021?
You should take matters into your own hands, maybe
put this on 1.5 speed hd, your life will never be the same.
Holy shit!
+NudeDragon12 Shows you how fucking tight these guys were. Damm at their peak they were untouchable.
prefer slow, dark and doom like normal
Are you in a hurry to hit rock bottom?
actually I prefer it on 0.75.
My fav soundgarden song, with the crooning and the casual screaming
I was in my 12's when this was recorded. Thank you internet!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in my 39's.
I was in my 12th year of school
Omg i was 12 too! Thx Internet ;)
sublime performance
CHRIS WAS TOO BIG FOR THIS REALM!
Great and underrated song...
Brutal as well ...
I can't understand how this video has so few views! How is it that not all Soundgarden fans saw this?! This song is mesmerizing!
watch once per day to keep the dust out of your veins....
Yes I agree Chris Cornell awesome Singer ❤

At 3min25.... Amazing !!! And 2 telecaster... beautifull !!
Stephane Gbt That whole verse is some of his best singing of all-time, in my opinion. He nailed that tone.
Best Fuck You song ever. Never until now had anyone in mind for this, bet you see me now.
Excellent song off a excellent album by a FANTASTIC SORELY MISSED BAND 😢😢
I was unaware of Soundgarden utilizing Telecasters.
I'll never forget waiting for Superunknown to come out in 93 was it ? This was the heaviest song on there so I jammed it alot but loved it all. I was 32 and an aging rock fan and still am at 62.

Killer version!!
This is perfect stoner rock with grunge ❤️❤️
Yes!!
This is Stoner/Proto Doom Metal!
One of my all-time favorite SG songs 🤘
I'm putting this here to see how many people out there are aware of this Amazing performance❣️
And still listening to Our #Legend CC 🤘🏼🤘🏼💫🖤
Still love to listen to sound Garden a awesome group and Chris Cornell a legend awesome singer
@@lisaparsons4124🤜🏼🤛🏼🤟🏼❣️
The heaviness from those single coil teles 😩
Awesome indeed!! Maybe my favourite Soundgarden tune

With his voice Chris was like a hurricane 😔💔

Would love this on my iPod, great version

One of, if not my favorite, Soundgarden tracks, and a killer live performance in high-quality, to boot? Fuck Yes! \m/ \m/
Brilliant track written by Cameron.
Soo good
WOW just WOW, has a AIC feel to it. No one sings like Chris Coenell and Layne Staley..........RIP Chris and Layne.
