Soundgarden

Let’s take a stroll back to 2011, when Soundgarden graced The Forum in Inglewood with a live performance of "Rusty Cage." At this point, the band was riding a wave of resurgence after reforming in 2010 following a 13-year hiatus. It was a pivotal time for them, as they were hot on the heels of releasing *King Animal*, their first studio album in nearly two decades, just a few months prior. That album was a testament to their evolution, bringing a mix of nostalgia and fresh flavors that delighted both new fans and longtime followers. Interestingly, “Rusty Cage,” which Chris Cornell penned for their earlier album *Badmotorfinger* in 1991, showcases a peak Soundgarden sound—a blend of heavy, intricate guitar riffs coupled with Cornell's powerful vocals. This live recording from 2011 doesn’t just highlight the band's classic material but also signals their ability to captivate audiences with electric energy, reminding everyone why they’re legends in the rock scene. What a joy it is to witness their timeless music live!
