Soundgarden

Back in May 1992, when Soundgarden rocked the stage at the Pinkpop Festival in Cologne, they were riding the high tide of their critically acclaimed album, "Badmotorfinger," which had been released just eight months earlier, in September 1991. This record was pivotal for the band, showcasing their heavy, intricate sound and Chris Cornell's mesmerizing vocals. It marked a significant moment in their career, propelling them into the mainstream of the burgeoning grunge movement. Fun fact: "Badmotorfinger" featured the iconic track "Rusty Cage," which many fans were likely buzzing about during that live performance. By this point, Soundgarden had not only solidified their place in rock history but were also a key player in the shift towards heavy music in the early '90s. So, can you imagine the raw energy and passionate crowd during that unforgettable set? It was a moment that truly encapsulated the spirit of a transformative era in music.
