Vintage Soundgarden Badmotorfinger
$186
The vintage Soundgarden Badmotorfinger shirt, featuring the band’s classic lineup on the front and the distinctive sawblade-like album logo on the back, celebrates their pivotal third album, released in 1991, which solidified their sound and launched them into the mainstream. The album marked the debut of bassist Ben Shepherd and saw the band fully embrace a more complex, heavier, and cerebral style of heavy rock, characterized by progressive elements, odd time signatures, and ambiguous, evocative lyrics on hits like “Outshined” and the controversial “Jesus Christ Pose.” Released just weeks after Nirvana’s Nevermind and Pearl Jam’s Ten, Badmotorfinger distinguished Soundgarden as the heaviest and most artful band of the burgeoning Seattle scene, leading to a massive 1992 tour—including opening for Guns N’ Roses and a slot on Lollapalooza—which saw them transition from underground heroes to double-platinum-selling Grammy nominees.
