25 years ago today (5/15/96), Soundgarden made their first — and only — appearance on Saturday Night Live, tearing through “Pretty Noose” and “Burden in My Hand” just days before the May 21 release of their fifth studio album, Down on the Upside. Hosted by Jim Carrey, the episode captured the band at the peak of their powers, with Chris Cornell delivering a typical towering vocal performance that shook Studio 8H. Video isnt found on YouTube these days, but the audio is- check out “Pretty Noose”,,
