If you listen to the music of ‘Limo Wreck,’ it’s actually a complicated series of rhythms and melodies, and they go into these interesting places, and none of it is particularly based in any sort of rock tradition that I was aware of. Because of that, any idea I had melodically seemed really interesting to me. We really didn’t play ‘Limo Wreck’ much live previously, but in rehearsing it now, I really think it’s one of the more unusual songs I’ve heard in modern rock. It’s an accomplishment, and I can look at some of the slower, heavier, weirder melodic songs on Superunknown as being uniquely ours, without reference or root in anything else-any other period of music, any other band, any other records. - Chris Cornell.
tambien es mi favorita de soundgarden!.. en el 94 escuchaba superunknown una y otra vez y limo wreck se convirtio en mi favorita despues de años de lucha entre las otras grandes canciones de este album..
@@LoveLjubav Listen to lots of Big Wreck. Similar vocal talent, different animals musically (though comparible at times), but Ian Thornley is a monster on the guitar. 🤙
i felt that way in the early 90's but not now. i feel he's a known commodity, to fans and his peers.. even elders; i recall neil peart mentioning his name in a long ago MD interview. what else can be said about matt at this point. absolute command of all the tools in the toolbox.
Well I never thought a proshot version of this masterpiece would ever come into existence. This fucking rules and the guitars sound thick and evil as shit with this mix.
Rocker Chick Chris has lost a lot of his vocal ability. Thankfully though, he had a lot to lose and he remains a better singer than 99% of what is out there today
100% they played a lot of stuff in flat tuning (it doesn't sound like they tuned down for this though, that could be my drunk ears though haha) as they went on but it made the music darker/more punchy and his vocals sounded fantastic. Suck a massive loss :(
Kim Thayil's chorus pedal in the main riff gives the song a trippy psychedelic vibe love it! Chris Cornell once said that he was talking to a Limo driver about the highway in California about the automobiles. Cornell made the observation that most of the affluent drivers seemed to not have a care in the world. The Limo driver told Cornell how he saw a rich guy who didn't want poor people near his Limo and was outside of the Limo yelling at them to stay away from his limo. They preceded to beat the living shit out of him. That's what this song is about. As well as the gap between the rich and the poor. Class warfare.
First time I've seen Limo Wreck live..Unbelievable..Limo and Fresh Tendrils are my fav cuts on that album.. Chris, Carlos Santana, Stone Gossard and I have the same b-day, July 20..I've been listening to Cornell for years. Miss him dearly- still can not believe he is gone....
Soundgarden’s music was and still is too sophisticated for the everyday listener. The Pop music fan. If it isn’t over in 3 1/2 minutes and about the hot topic trending most people will opt out. I’m still in!
matt cameron in fact is not an underrated drummer...he is well known from soundgarden and pearl jam and is considered one of rock n rolls greatest drummers
+Daniel Echávarri Yeah, this song is awesome. Doesn't matter if Chris doesn't quite hit the same notes he used to when they have songs this good and still perform them together so well. In particular I love Kim's part on this song and in general on this whole album - he just sounds so dark and heavy.
This is a great song to play on a guitar.I get obsessed with songs with weird timings,love it!What makes Chris even more impressive is has anyone here tried to play the riff to Rusty cage and sing at the same time like Chris did,it's a complete head f*ck with the timing to do both at once,miss Chris like mad!
Chris was the total package. Great songwriter, great singer, competent guitar player. Doesn't seem seem fair for one person to have so much talent, and such a shame that he went the way he did.
Yes it's a real shame he's no more with us. The star in the sky has exploded. Well you got one thing wrong though brother. He wasn't any competent guitar player. The man was a genius at the guitar. Boy oh boy, the melodies he's written with the guitar, those are brilliant, they hold so much tension and are so rock n roll and smart at the same time. Gets your head scratching. So what if he doesnt shred or do any of those flashy things, he speaks more sense than the rest of them. Such odd occurrences occur once in a lifetime in the universe
I watched this when it originally aired. They played most of there regular good regularly played radio songs that you heard all the time, but when this song came on I thought "OMG they never play this song live, This is my favorite song!!!!"
Never will be another Soundgarden with Chris Cornell. Thank God we have this music to somewhat erase what happened. Love you guys and family for touching so many people. Rest in peace Chris
What a great band, all 4 members played guitar, Matt wrote this, wrote Mailman and Rhinosaur on guitar which are some of my favourite Soundgarden songs, Ben wrote Head Down on guitar which is one of my all time favs too, all very talented.
when asked by my wife of 27 years, (we both have had good fortune to meet Chris before my second trip to Diamond Back / Mosul) what was our song. I said this one honey.
'Building the towers belongs to the sky When the whole thing comes crashing down, Don't ask me why... Swallowing rivers belongs to the sea When the whole thing washes away Don't run to me... I'll be going down... for the rest of this life, While the rest of you harvest the gold.'
Don't know why, anyone would say Chris voice isn't good here? Maybe not as strong understandably but the pitch, the tone, sounds great to me! Rock on Chris, singing with the angels now.
This is incredible. I cant understand how they pull this one of so effortlessly. Its so many odd pieces of music set to that bad ass bone crushing rhythm. And the noises kim is playing are just out of this world awesome. Definitely one of my most favorite songs and to see 'em pull it off live is mind-boggling . Everyone has an incredible part in this song and they all bring it. Just amazing!
Uma das melhores músicas do álbum. O peso da guitarra do Kim, misturado com essa voz, que apesar de não ser mais a mesma de outrora, ainda era uma das mais poderosas. Saudades Chris Cornell!
Someone tell me why no one talks about Chris Cornell anymore, is it because he died? I think he should be talked about all the time. Why isn’t more done to honor Chris’ incredible life, his songwriting, his voice, his philanthropy, his raw talent, I don’t understand why not.
I agree, this is music of my youth, and the whole Superunknown album is one of the greatest rock albums of all time I think. There is an awesome cover of this song by Witch Mountain band recently. Cheers!
I sincerely believe that because of the sadness that surrounds his story and also the deepness of lyrics it's just a bummer for a lot of people. At least that's what i found being a Cornell fan and singer that sings his music sometimes, people just kinda feel sad sometimes since they think it's a turnoff thanks to today's lack of sad music on circulation. At least that's my theory.
@@kimerleviccaro1957Black Sabbath is not in the spotlight. It's all hip hippy pop and rap that are about superficial things like sex, drugs, romance, etc. Mainstrean music is only listened to for the sound of it and most of that sound is upbeat and sitcommy.
Love how clearly you can here Ben’s amazing bass line in this performance. Only because the rest of the album is so incredible is this song so often overlooked. It’s their best in my opinion
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME! Im still not over the fact that I will never see them live again, although I was fortunate to see them twice. Soundgarden will forever been one of the greatest bands of all time. Thanks for the years of music.
I jammed hard to these guys and Cornells voice in the early 90's while still a young chap in the US Navy. Never in a million years did I think they would show up in my home state of Alabama. So at 47 I finally got to see Soundgarden and hear Cornells fabulous Rock N Roll voice only for him to pass two weeks later. Bittersweet for sure. RIP Chris Cornell. I hope you are resting happily in your very own Soundgarden.

15/16
Fresh Tendlings 100/100
bamaslaten yes Chris. This just one of the reasons you and Soundgarden were a sound all to yourselves. Amazing.
@@aavila1206 time signature i mean
I dunno, immediately reminded me of dazed and confused with the verse riff
This whole album seemed so apocalyptic and prophetic. It was a masterpiece and haunting.
the entire album still gives me chills.
My favourite soungarden song. gives me the chills everytime
tambien es mi favorita de soundgarden!.. en el 94 escuchaba superunknown una y otra vez y limo wreck se convirtio en mi favorita despues de años de lucha entre las otras grandes canciones de este album..
@@yayopuente9438 , gut.
I know it so heavy but the melody is strong
Same here
Cameron wrote it.
Chris Cornell possibly the best singer in the History of recorded music.
Not possibly ,for certain, and none will ever be anywhere close to his multi talent!
oh yeah
what about geoff tate?
@@LoveLjubav Listen to lots of Big Wreck. Similar vocal talent, different animals musically (though comparible at times), but Ian Thornley is a monster on the guitar. 🤙
@@cebrinpitts Comparing apples and oranges. If you are into monsters on guitar with an amazing voice to boot, here is a Master, Richie Kotzen.
Matt Cameron, such an underrated drummer.
Joe Tomasso He is a drum God..... and hardly talked about. One of my faves!
i felt that way in the early 90's but not now. i feel he's a known commodity, to fans and his peers.. even elders; i recall neil peart mentioning his name in a long ago MD interview. what else can be said about matt at this point. absolute command of all the tools in the toolbox.
Joe Tomasso top five in the history
He just goes about his business, kinda like Keith Lockhart of the Atlanta Braves back in the late 90's
I don't think anyone who knows anything about music would ever in their right mind consider Cameron underrated.
That one guy cheering them on in the crowd has my eternal respect
Right back at you!
When I'm really felling the song I do the same. I imagine I'm hitting drums like I'm one of the members of the band.
Well I never thought a proshot version of this masterpiece would ever come into existence. This fucking rules and the guitars sound thick and evil as shit with this mix.
Totally agree!! The guitar sound is so magnificently menacing!!
This is Kim's Guild after all, it has one of thickest tones I've heard
Fuckin yes bro, you summed that up with that one statement. My thoughts exactly
Yep , when this kicked in I said 'WHOA' quietly to myself.. Monster wall of axe. And it does fucking rule.....RIP MR Cornell. You are missed already.
fuck yeah, my favorite song off superunknown ever since the mid90s
This song is a nice mix of Sabbath and Zeppelin influences, with haunting vocals.
Ozzy said that about. Soundgaden. Like the heaviness of Sabbath. But also the Sexyness of Zepplin. He said. Thought. Pretty interesting
Check out Offenbach and check out atomic rooster check out a band called Bertha
I never thought about it but as soon as I read this I said "He's right!". Thanks dude!
Definitely. With some Soundgarden weirdness thrown in
i see Gary Moore x Led Zeppelin
this is the reason why it pisses me off when ppl say Chris can't sing anymore. This is godlike, this is legit what perfection is made of
Rocker Chick Chris has lost a lot of his vocal ability. Thankfully though, he had a lot to lose and he remains a better singer than 99% of what is out there today
The sad truth now is that he can never sing anymore and we have lost another one of the greats. RIP CHRIS CORNELL
100% they played a lot of stuff in flat tuning (it doesn't sound like they tuned down for this though, that could be my drunk ears though haha) as they went on but it made the music darker/more punchy and his vocals sounded fantastic. Suck a massive loss :(
Singing in heaven now:(
@@korbain86 They almost never tuned down, even post-reunion.
Fucking hell. One of the finest live versions of a song I've ever heard.
My favorite soundgarden song, wish I was there to see the performance
Kim and Matt wrote the music for this. Matt doesn't get the appreciation he deserves. Room A Thousand Years Wide is his too. Classic.
Son Of Life actually Room is Matt AND Kim as well
Sorry WRONG! CC wrote this.
@@LoveLjubav Cameron & Thayil wrote the music, Chris wrote the lyrics.
Shepherd wrote it
Hiro wrote it
The guy at 3:17 - You're my guy. The rest of this crowd... Come on!
Was just about to type this. He was jammin' , as he should have
If i could have an Opportunity to be live on Chris’s show i would be the same
That dude is a big mood.
I was always upfront. Banging my head and things always got crazy. I scared Eddie Van Halen in the Shreveport Coliseum. Ha good times
Thanks for the shout out
God I fucking loved this guy. I am going to be listening to his music for as long as I have left on this planet
Cornell STILL had it!!! FUCK!! May he rest in peace deep in the Superunknown with his good eye closed.
Is it just me, or does Chris look super badass and mysterious in this performance?
Kim Thayil's chorus pedal in the main riff gives the song a trippy psychedelic vibe love it! Chris Cornell once said that he was talking to a Limo driver about the highway in California about the automobiles. Cornell made the observation that most of the affluent drivers seemed to not have a care in the world.

pure brilliance!
The luckiest people on earth are those who have seen this live...almost cried watching this performance..damn..Miss you Chris Cornell...
One of their best & most underrated songs. RIP Chris Cornell.
Such a potent and focused performance. Sleep with angels Mr. Cornell, and may your golden voice serenade the heavens!
Dyllan Tyrril 😢😢😢😢😢😢So freaking sad he is gone!
Yes, we lost a great voice, songwriter and individual in Chris Cornell. All you can do now is keep playing his music and honour his memory this way!
Oh you KNOW he's in God's high choir.. just has to be...
AMEN
First time I've seen Limo Wreck live..Unbelievable..Limo and Fresh Tendrils are my fav cuts on that album.. Chris, Carlos Santana, Stone Gossard and I have the same b-day, July 20..I've been listening to Cornell for years.
Miss him dearly- still can not believe he is gone....
3:35 Good God, that drum fill
Ridiculous fill
At time this album came out, this song stood way out to me. So sick to hear it after all these years. Damn. Sickest Rock Waltz ever written
i think this track is 15/4 time - 5 bars of 3/4. maybe i'm wrong - it sounds gorgeous though anyways.
15/8
I think Manic Depression might retain that honor, even after all these years. But this song is definitely amazing in its own right.
Hard to believe Cornell has died. RIP
Has it been that long since he passed. Shit........
Really? Have you been listening to the lyrics of his songs in the last 35 years?

My goodness, he still sang it so powerful even at this older age. My favourite vocal of his ever!
The best band from their era.....absolute awesome ass
I like that one guy head banging \m/ rock on man
You might be able to tell I'm not from Austin
The crown jewel of Superunknown,...what an underrated song....RIP my favourite
Best live performance of Limo Wreck. Brings back beautiful memories on 94 when Superunknown came out

You're so clever and special. Not like the others.
Listening chris sing always catch my breath😮💨
matt cameron in fact is not an underrated drummer...he is well known from soundgarden and pearl jam and is considered one of rock n rolls greatest drummers
After all theese years this gem has really grown on me and i listen to it alot 🤘
Classic performance. As great as they were in the 90's.
Christ. They are soooooo fucking good. RIP Chris. I think of you often, thanks for what you left, but I mourn for what you had left to leave us.
Awesome unconventional rock that just RAWKED!! Beautifully morbid
Better than the album version. Singing, guitars, bass, drums mixed exquisitely. Matt Cameron is wasted in Pearl Jam.
Totally agree with you observation of the waste of talent and where it lies.
Great Band always will be, best of the Seattle bunch and the coolest band name ever.
Agreed.
One of their darkest tunes with one of CC's best vocals
One of the greatest songs of all time
Never gets old, just missed.
Chris, WTF, why did you leave us??? Soundgarden was/is top. Rest in peace, buddy, you're a legend, you won't be forgotten.
What a magnificent fucking performance.
Magnificent indeed
+Daniel Echávarri Yeah, this song is awesome. Doesn't matter if Chris doesn't quite hit the same notes he used to when they have songs this good and still perform them together so well.

i keep coming back to this one, such commanding presence by all 4
fock yes, andrew. this version is so brooding, poisonous atmosphere
This is a great song to play on a guitar.I get obsessed with songs with weird timings,love it!What makes Chris even more impressive is has anyone here tried to play the riff to Rusty cage and sing at the same time like Chris did,it's a complete head f*ck with the timing to do both at once,miss Chris like mad!
Their first song I was obsessed to, RIP Chris
dark, deep, original, the voice, the all dam thing............soundgarden the best band ever
one big collective FUCK YES for this version
Hard to believe it's been a month already. I'll never forget you Chris.
Best song on that album
BEYOND PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthew Georgantis you could say it's beyond the (wheel) of perfect :)
My favorite Soundgarden song. It's got all the things
Love that Doom sound, great song.
That my young friend is called Grunge. You can also here it in Alice N Chains. That's why to me, they are the Father's of Grunge, him and Layne.
I see some people think this song is easy to sing. Actually it's one of hardest song i've ever heard. Top class. Rip Chris...
Oh Holy. What a great band and miss you Sir.
Chris was the total package. Great songwriter, great singer, competent guitar player. Doesn't seem seem fair for one person to have so much talent, and such a shame that he went the way he did.

What a incredible song, those notes are so strange but it works. So uniquely crafted. I'm a lifelong musician with 2 record deals in the 80's.
'Building the towers belongs to the sky
When the whole thing comes crashing down,
Don't ask me why...
Swallowing rivers belongs to the sea
When the whole thing washes away
Don't run to me...
I'll be going down... for the rest of this life,
While the rest of you harvest the gold.'
J Smith
Sounds like the Prepper’s anthem
This was an absolutely AMAZING album! One of my all time favorites
Don't know why, anyone would say Chris voice isn't good here? Maybe not as strong understandably but the pitch, the tone, sounds great to me! Rock on Chris, singing with the angels now.
Only a tone deaf half witt would say that. He is The One and ONLY perfection that ever lived.
Well, then. I think it's clear that there's only one dude who deserves to be part of this audience. You sir, get a gold star.
Haha, thanks
You're a legend! 😂 How was being at this show?
This is incredible. I cant understand how they pull this one of so effortlessly. Its so many odd pieces of music set to that bad ass bone crushing rhythm. And the noises kim is playing are just out of this world awesome. Definitely one of my most favorite songs and to see 'em pull it off live is mind-boggling . Everyone has an incredible part in this song and they all bring it. Just amazing!
The restrained power manifest in this song is breathtaking. The pinnacle of this great band's achievements.
It’s not about Chris. Kim is a god, innovative call and response guitar riffs, the guy is The Godfather of badass
This is a pain in the ass to sing! Came back five years later and still kills me everytime I listen to Limo Wreck!
yeah im just getting the ability to sing this now, hardest soundgarden song to sing
This and 4th of July really are up there...
One of the best songs from Superunknown
Uma das melhores músicas do álbum. O peso da guitarra do Kim, misturado com essa voz, que apesar de não ser mais a mesma de outrora, ainda era uma das mais poderosas. Saudades Chris Cornell!
One of my top 3 soundgarden songs ever, besides 5th of July and searching with my good eye close.
Julio Alberto Gil Ortiz You have excellent taste in Soundgarden
4th of July*
Say hello to heaven, chris.
We love and miss you.
One of the best Soundgarden songs by far.

no maybe It is Perfection like none has ever done or ever will do.

I love Matt's drumming so much.
Best song on SU. RIP Chris , you are sorely missed 😪
WOW. Miss him big time
Fantastic
I wonder how many times Cornell thought while singing "why did I choose to sing this song so frikkin high ?????"
One of the best riffs ever written
so emotional and deep, visceral. Chris, I'm sorry, but you will be forever and ever, Rip I miss you Loudlove ♥️🤘
This stuff is crazy high! Chris sounded amazing here!!
