Cultural Facts:

  1. The First Album With Ben Shepherd: It was Soundgarden's first record with bassist Ben Shepherd, who replaced Jason Everman in April 1990. Chris Cornell said Shepherd brought a 'fresh and creative' approach that redefined the group.
  2. The Title Started as a Joke: Kim Thayil suggested Badmotorfinger as a play on the Montrose song 'Bad Motor Scooter.' He liked that it was colorful and aggressive, and that it left the meaning open.
  3. A Wah Pedal Made a Riff Sound Backward: On the opening track 'Rusty Cage,' Thayil used a wah pedal as a filter rather than a typical wah effect, producing a guitar figure he said 'almost sounds backward.'

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
