Far out. Super professional, stellar performance of a great song by a great band. Funnily enough I was just listening to a few of your other tracks and was thinking your voice sounded like Chris Cornell's then this gem popped up. Wicked!

When I saw the title of the song I was sceptic – getting ready for the worst experience and the slaughter of one of my all time favourite songs. Oh, was I wrong! Amazing work you guys. Your version is second only to soundgarden.
Hats off – impressed.

Fuckin-a!! Awesome cover! Cover song seem to either accent an original or sour an original. This cover absolutely compliments/accents soundgardens song very nicely.Great job.

WOW, that's one incredible cover man !
Soundgarden is one of my favs and to be quite honest I cringed when I saw the track post. Thinking OMG do I even want to listen to this ? Not expecting anything on this level. Certainly glad I did. Fabulous job musically and vocally. Damnnn good bro !
Any chance on Rusty Cage or Outshined ?

Hello Neomorpheus!!!

First off thanks for taking the time to listen to the track and reviewing it :)

This was a special occasion because we had awesome drums for this so probably this was our first and las cover.

Stay safe!!!

Thanks for the reply, Mr XpekT. Yes, those drums are very accurate and just the right sound so probably too good not to use.

You've just given me an idea:

Why not try doing a version that is the same structure but make some things very different? So, some very different drums, use of strings, whatever.

Maybe more of a funky powerful psychill version? Not dubstep!

The singing and production is so accurate here that it's almost too good a cover. Too good in the sense that you've really accurately recreated a great song in just the same way.

This not a complaint but, as Pete clearly has the voice for it, why not try the same vocals but over different sounding music?

So, it would sound like Cornell playing with maybe The Prodigy or Chemical Brothers (just examples - I don't mean try to sound like them). That would be really interesting to me to hear as I love a good, alternative cover.

Separately, I've listened to some of your many rock tracks on this site and you have a lot of ability. That recent one with JJ Weekz was great (see my comments on it). Well made music but I think you need more vocals and/or other instruments eg synths. Pete and JJ are good ones to have...

Aww Static Nomad you can call just XpekT because Mr makes me feel old :)
Alright back to the track, well you came with alot of great points but the bedlam kids wouldn't have done this if it wasn't for the special circunstances of having a great drum track of the song and pete being so Cornell like when he sings... this was a special occasion as we probably will not make anymore covers...
Now, regarding to why my songs dont have additional, well when I started the xpekt project I wanted it to be minimalistic. Meaning that every track I posted is just guitar, bass and drums. You are totally correct when saying that if I added some extra instrumentation the tracks would be more robust but that's not point of that project and the reason I set every track as downloadable is to give people that exact chance - if one sees that he/she can add something to track, please go ahead and as you mentioned, that happened with JJ.
Thanks for taking the time to make such great reviews!!!
Stay safe :)

Good stuff, as those Soundgarden chaps would surely agree. You know I'm a massive fan of theirs, though their most recent album is no good and not worth reforming for.

Anyway, I heard this first without knowing it was Pete's vocal and wondered who it was. You do an excellent job of getting somewhere near Cornell, though he's still got a special edge that is really hard to reproduce. That's what makes him one of the greatest alternative hard rock singers of all time.

2:15 scream is very close to that special Cornell overdrive as well as various other bits of phrasing.

Actually, Pete may even sound a bit better than Cornell does these days as I think he's lost it quite a bit vocally. Tough singing like that when you're nearly 50.

I'm struggling to fault the guitar, bass and drums on this. Who's playing the drums?

My one creative idea is to have some other percussive element replace the spoons in that section, though it sounds just fine without.

I generally couldn't care less about straight covers ie ones that make no attempt to rearrange or change the sounds/genre.

But this is such an excellent approximation that Soundgarden fans probably wouldn't notice if they heard this live and weren't looking at the stage.

Hey there StaticNomad!!!

I get your point about covers but initially I thought about doing it just with an acoustic guitar but I had the drums from a friend of mine that he used to pratice drums while playing to songs like these... so they were just too good to not use them...

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
