Saw them in Boston when they were touring for Time’s Up. They were awesome. They have quite a few great songs. They shine a lot more as just a good band than as a showcase for Vernon Reid. In fact they’re a showcase for Calhoun and Skillings who were a seriously badass rhythm section. I always liked Dr Know and Rocky George’s guitar playing a lot more if we’re talking black players doing rock etc from that time.Twice opening for the Stones in 1988 and headlining with Kings X opening in 1990
Edit-just remembered I saw them twice at Lolalpallooza in 1991 so a total of 5x
What about the darkness? RockstarsNothing memorable about his catalog or style.
One "hit" does not make a guitar hero.

Yes - I really do hate Kim Thayil's guitar playing a lot I must admit. It actually ruins Soundgarden for me and always did. I do like some songs and of course Black Hole Sun is killer.6 Living Colour albums and he's worked on about 33 albums in total. Not too shabby
I dunno about all this one hit talk. They had good success with 'Type', 'Cult..', 'Leave It Alone' and 'Love rears its Ugly Head' on the charts.
I'm guessing people here must hate Kim Thayil's lead work too.
