Badmotorfinger
''Badmotorfinger'' is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991, through A&M Records. Soundgarden began the recording sessions for the album with new bassist Ben Shepherd in the spring of 1991. The album maintained the band's heavy metal sound, while featuring an increased focus on songwriting compared to the band's previous releases. AllMusic considered the album's music to be "surprisingly cerebral and arty"; alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album's songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and evocative. The focus on the Seattle grunge scene helped bring attention to ''Badmotorfinger'', and the singles "Outshined" and "Rusty Cage" were able to find a major audience in rock radio and MTV. ''Badmotorfinger'' became the band's highest charting album at the time on the ''Billboard'' 200, where it peaked at number 39. The album received critical acclaim, citing the significant improvement ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was Chris's idea; he wanted to get that weird tone that you can't really dial in on an amp. But if you use the wah wah as a filter, it gets an incredibly weird sound. And if you listen to that riff, especially if you've heard the original demos of it, it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
