That may have been how I discovered Sound Garden and Cornell first time round I think.
Guns N Roses playing a Soundgarden tune.. It still makes me hard just thinking of it.. Gonna give that a spin right now actually

If THAT'S how you discovered Soundgarden, then I'm glad they covered it. However, its horrific and never should have been included. Buick Makane is one of my favorites on that album, but the outro almost kills it. I still laugh when I hear it, and think I'll play it right now. Axl reading that line from a cue card with the band jamming it and doing so without even a hint of irony just slays me.

To any people here not Soundgarden fans or haven't heard the song in its entirety, the lyrics are poking fun at 80s metal. Thayil hated the song, but Cornell wanted to do it. I remember Cornell saying how those hair bands always had to beat around the bush and would never just say what they really wanted to say because they were too chickenshit. He does so in this track, and Big Dumb Sex is probably the true birth of grunge and death of hair metal. MTV and radio couldn't latch on to the track because of the profanity.

I love how the song immediately flows into Full On(reprise) to close the record. Genius track sequencing. They lull you to sleep after such an intense track, like coming down from an orgasm.

I really wish those Soundgarden sites would come back. Lots of info about all those songs.

Here's an old Blabbermouth news story.

"Yeah, I like it," Axl Rose reportedly said, as he sat down between two blonde girls and lit up a cigarette — this despite a smoking ban that currently exists in bars and restaurants in Sweden.

Gotta love him.

I also remember another article (which was what leaded me to the above in a google search) Where someone in-the-know I can only guess said Axl would arrive late, before taking the stage smoke - 1 - cigarette and then go and perform amazingly well

The exact words aren't in my memory, but I swear by that ^ I read it somewhere at least.

So I guess he does, yep. Definitely when partying with blonde Swedish girls, anyway.
