Talk:Badmotorfinger

Name

Does anyone know where the name comes from? I've always assumed it's a combination of "Badfinger" and "Bad Motor Scooter" (a track from the first Montrose album). Both Badfinger and Montrose are bands of the right era to have influenced the members of Soundgarden and/or their associates - but I can't find any evidence to support this theory. It's one of the more intriguing album titles out there, so if anyone does know where it comes from it would be helpful to add it to the article. Magnate 13:14, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I always thought it was just a play on the phrase "Bad Mother fucker" - Ross... (I help edit articles)

Album Title

In 1994 a Soundgarden interview CD was released entitled "Superuninterview." In one of the interview tracks, where Cornell is asked about album titles, he mentions in passing that both "Ultramega OK" and "Badmotorfinger" were titles Kim Thayil jokingly created. Does anyone own this CD who can help me with citation? Regards, --199.29.6.2 21:15, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Slaves And Bulldozers

Although it wasn't a single this song is famous for being Soundgarden's big closer at many concerts. Also it is a fan favorite. Because Soundgarden themselves seem to play this song in concert more than any other in their discography I feel it is important enough to have it's own article. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 01:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Personnel section

As the personnel section is so cluttered, I feel that columns are necessary for clarity purposes. Darwin's Bulldog (talk) 03:58, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I would rather go by Wikipedia policy for this. I'm awaiting clarification for what that is.-5- (talk) 04:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Release date

The lead says October 8, the infobox August 10. Which is it? --Jameboy (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

B class: Y All the C class criteria Y A completed infobox, including cover art and most technical details Y A full list of personnel, including technical personnel and guest musicians Y No obvious issues with sourcing, including the use of blatantly improper sources. Y No significant issues exist to hamper readability, although it may not rigorously follow WP:MOS Y No Trivia sections. There may be some issues with citing in some areas but overall this is still a solid B-article by new criteria. Great job all around! Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:02, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
