Ironically Cornell and Thayil hated the term grunge, and never considered it a title for a genre. It was a media tag intended to throw a diverse sounding collection of bands from a specific geographical location into a small category intent on record sales.
Not in this song? Kim loves the weight of Drop D so he actually lets his powerchords ring openly. Did you mean in general in rock? If so yes, the percussive quality makes the lower end of them bloom and sounds heavier.
@@aavila1206 I meant in this song, Outshined. It seemed to me like the only audible (open) chords were played in the bridge sections and single notes, everything sounded like it was palm-muted. No?
@Victor Polevoy Kim’s phrasing of his opening riff starts with a slide up into 2 (palm-muted) chugs (open D) then into open power chord progression. The rest of his guitar work in the song is similar with a mix of some chugs and open power chords. Normally he doesn’t over-do the percussive chugging just enough to add weight.
@@aavila1206 Thanks a lot for the information! May I ask you where do you know it from? I might have more questions about their sound, especially what kind of tubes they used - el34 or 6l6? I have 6l6 but it feels quite different to the sound of outshined in this track, or, perhaps, this is just my poor judgement.
Man, this song is a gift that just keeps on giving
God tier tone 💥
JCM 800 + Dual Rectifier I believe?
@@colby69420 it could probably be a Mark series amp because Rectos weren't available at that point
Peavey VTM 120
This just shows you don’t have to be fast to be AWESOME.....And Now you Know....
You just need a Dual Rectifier and a JCM 800 lol
I didn't realize how much chorus was on the original recording that's awesome!
One of the most bad ass songs ever!!!
If you Google the definition of “grunge” this is the first result

Was Chris using Gretsches for Badmotorfinger, or did he not start playing them till Superunknown? Was he playing a LP here?
most likely an LP
What amps were these?
I believe it’s a Mesa Dual Rectifier on the left and a Marshall JCM 800 on the right, the solo I think is just a Dual Rectifier in the center
Peavy VTM 120. was Kim as far as I know... not sure what Chris was using. I wouldn't rule out Marshall jcm800s.
@@colby69420 That was Superunknown's record.
Loud ones!
2:00
time stamp for myself lol 1:18
Are almost all the power chords palm-muted?
