Untitled[edit]

No talk page yet for an article this long? :o So here goes: "Because of some of the song lyrics the band faced various retail and distribution problems upon the album's release, including the addition of a Parental Advisory sticker on the album packaging." This strikes me as dubious. Did stores actually refuse to stock the album, even without the "Parental Advisory sticker"? At least this is what the wording suggests ("including," read there were various other problems).

Besides, if anything, a parental advisory sticker is a sales booster these days. In some styles it's practically a must-have. I mean, would you buy a gangster rap album without one? ;) Most record stores stock parental advisory stuff in large numbers. And Soundgarden didn't exactly appeal to an early to mid teenage demographic that liked to have their parents choose and buy their music for them anyway. So what's the point? Unless someone is coming up with reliable sources that prove the band really suffered sales problems due to that sticker, or the lyrics, I'm going to remove this.

Big Dumb Sex[edit]

Guns N' Roses did a cover of this on their cover album "The Spaghetti Incident", but it was coupled with another song... should this be mentioned?

I Awake[edit]

"In the late 1990s, an urban legend circulated on internet message boards which stated that Yamamoto, after writing the music, wrote some lyrics on the back side of McDonald's note. When Yamamoto gave the paper containing these lyrics to Cornell, Cornell looked at the wrong side of the sheet and believed McDonald's note was the lyrics to Yamamoto's song."

a simular story already circulated since the release of Louder than Love album. It was Cornell himself who told that story to the press. The only difference with his story is that he said he liked the note on the back more than the lyrics and choose to use the note instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.241.112.63 (talk) 23:49, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About stylistcs genre[edit]

Guess it's not should called any alternative metal, many people in these days are calling this way any heavy metal music from the late 80's or the early 90's. It would be enough call it only as grunge, stoner rock and heavy metal.
