Soundgarden’s Van

This weekend I visited a museum and saw Soundgarden’s van from the late 1980s: a 1986 Chevy Beauville G10. Lots of scratches and dents.

A number of stickers on the back windows: Thrasher, Mudhoney, Corrosion of Conformity, Sonic Youth (from the EVOl album), Social Distortion, Tendencies, Metallica [with an “80” sticker just above it], and (--------) Surfers [the first part of the name had been torn off the window]. And on one of the right side windows: Melvins.

Also, on the dashboard of the passenger’s side was a phrase in white paint that looked like it had daubed on by someone’s finger [Chris Cornell?]. The only part of the phrased I could see was the first word: “Kill”

Pretty cool!
