Marco Mengoni pays homage to the Soundgarden live
A tribute to the rock and grunge worldto an unforgettable band led by the late Chris Cornell. Marco Mengoni, in his zero date of the tour in Lignano Sabbiadoro, sang “Black Hole Sun” of the Soundgardenone of the greatest successes of the training released in 1994. A surprise, a magic, which once again demonstrates all the capabilities of the voice of Ronciglione. The song was composed of the Frontman Cornell, he said he wrote it in about fifteen minutes, reaching the composition using a Leslie speaker, or a speaker system. Kim Thayil, another founding member, said that this tool was perfect because “it is very Beatlesian and has a very characteristic sound”. Chris Cornell explained that he wrote this song after seeing all day horror movies and have heard some evocative sentences during A TG.
The surreal video, directed by Howard Greenhalgh, sees the band that performs the song while a suburban neighborhood of “daily monsters” is swallowed up by a black hole. The piece plays proper, already in the title, on the lights and shadows of existence. “Black Hole Sun” was the third single extracted from the fourth studio album of Soundgarden, entitled “Superunknown”: After his release he stayed for 7 weeks at the top of Billboard’s mainstream rock ranking and later She was awarded the best hard rock interpretation at the Grammy of 1995. During the concert held at the municipal stadium, Mengoni surprised the public by inviting on stage Sayf and Rkomi To sing the new single together “I’m fine with the sea”: The performance returned the summer atmosphere of the song, which under the apparently light surface conceals a strong and urgent message. The tour continues: here all the dates.
