Origin and Recording
"Loud Love" was written by frontman Chris Cornell. Guitarist Kim Thayil on the song:
The intro was a feedback melody. Many people think we used an E-bow. I've seen transcriptions that have said to use an E-bow. The truth is, I've never even seen an E-bow. I simply stood in front of the amp, got the note ringing until it was feeding back, and slid my finger up the fret on the string and dragged the feedback with it.
