I think its susposed to replace or sound like "fuck." To anyone that cares, the actual title for "Fopp(dub)" is "Fopp(fucked up heavy dub mix)" as read on the origional 12" which I recently acquired for $40 US.

It's a really cool purple and white graphic that has the words "Garden of love....garden of death....he plants the Soundgarden" on it. Because I'm running out of disk space, though, its dimensions are only 230x326. [If someone feels like donating a workstation, I'd be more than glad to expand the Web pages to include every image I can get my hands on in high quality, as well as sound clips, video, and whatever else you want.

I >think I have the verse worked out and if i'm right then it's in A sus 4 or >somewhere thereabouts. First, tune your guitar to: STRINGS 6th 5th 4th 3rd 2nd 1st C F C G B E That is, drop the 6th, 5th, and 4th string tunings to C, F, C respectivley. You may need an electronic tuner for this. Tune the top three strings standardly. Makes for a DARK & PLODDING bottom end. Now the chords Ab5, Db5, G5 for the intro. Ab5, Db5, G5, and Eb5 for the verse. Eb5, Gb5, and NO CHORD for the chorus. Quick, cheap lesson: CHORD FINGERING Ab5 5th & 6th strings, third fret both. Play in unison. Db5 5th string, third fret/6th string, first fret. Play in unison. G5 5th & 6th strings, second fret both. Play in unison. Eb5 5th string, fifth fret/6th string third fret. Play in unison. NO CHORD* 6th string open (play twice)/5th string seventh fret to fifth fret PULLOFF (play twice), 5th string fifth fret, seventh fret to fifth fret SLIDE. *NO CHORD part begins on the word SKY and completes on the word THE as in: 'Cause I saw it in the wind, and I saw it in the SKY, and I thought it was THE end.... These are just the basics, there are many fills and riffs throughout the song. For a clearer picture, anybody interested might want to look into ordering (this is NOT an advertisement, just FYI) the official SG SUPERUNKNOWN vocals-Guitar w/tablature songbook. You can get it from: Cherry Lane Music Company PO Box 430 Port Chester, NY 10573 (914)937-8601 It's worth it due to the fact of the many alternative guitar tunings and riffs on the album.

Definitely Soundgarden!! I'm not on any other band's mailing list.As far as the ultimate band is concerned, I agree with those that think that Lars Ulrich doesn't deserve to be on it. What about Matt Cameron or Dave Grohl? Each of them blow Lars away. I haven't had the fortunate experience of seeing anyone of the members of Soundgarden outside of a show but I think it would be interesting to hear everyone's stories about their first (or last) Soundgarden shows. Kind of like the first time you got laid stories. My first show was a Bill Graham Day on the Green concert back in 1991. Soundgarden opened up the show and the other acts were Faith No More, Queensryche, and headlining were Metallica. I think that Soundgarden were actually as loud or louder than Faith No More or Queensryche and they blew me away. I already had "Louder than Love" and 'Ultramega OK" but I hadn't heard anything from "Badmotorfinger" yet. Chris came out claiming that they were the band "with the biggest dicks" and that they had never sexually harrassed anyone (the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings were going on).I think they played "Big Dumb Sex" after that.The show went downhill from there although FNM was pretty good and Mike Patton claimed that they were the band with the littlest dicks. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: your mail From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) To: somms@MIT.EDU, kmast7+@pitt.edu (Kelly M Allen) Date: Wed, 16 Aug 95 15:37:03 -0400 Kelly: I'm all female, always have been, always will be.

I first saw them in Berkeley at the Greek Theatre (which is a great place for a concert-- small, tight, great acoustics, good views). I can honestly say that it was one of the two happiest times in my life (the other had to do with snowboarding, which is believe should clue you all in on how sacred it was!). I wanted to be completely sober and aware and hear every lick of music. At one point, Chris yelled, Christians SUCK! Which MUST have been for me (:-)) because my boyfriend had just taken a "good, christian girl" to Prom. And, later, when some skank threw her undies up on stage, Chris threw them back off with his shoe, "I don't want your stinking underwear, girl!" I was amzed by how low Ben's bass was to the ground. Oh, and when Chris did a solo of "Mind Riot", I thought I might just die. It was a long set. They played almost every song off of "Superunknown" and BadMotorfinger. I was hoping for some Louder than Love, but no... It still was almost as perfect as life could get. Oh, before the concert, we jumped the back fence and watched their soundcheck. We had to army crawl over the knoll to see, and when we looked, Cameron was standing right there, not twenty feet away. We were going to say something, but we were afraid he'd throw us out. As it happened, he went down and told someone (I'd like to think, anyway!) and THEY threw us out. Still, it was the best concert of my life, I think. Complete and utter joy. Yeah, I guess they'd be my favorite band. I hope they never get self-conscious, like poor Vedder. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Aug 1995 17:34:00 EDT From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: Re: your mail To: Kelly M Allen , somms@MIT.EDU Please god make them stop!

I'd just like to say that while the ultimate band argument has been interesting, it seems to have taken quite a departure from when it began. when littlejoe and I wrote to the group about it, it was just going to be a means of gauging which musicians are most admired by everyone else on the list, and wasn't supposed to be quite so debated. which isn't uncool, I guess. we just wanted to run a little survey. the reason matt cameron couldn't be the drummer over lars (at least in the original incarnation of the survey) was because we asked everyone to only nominate one member per band. otherwise it would have been an ultimate band made up of mostly soundgarden members. so I'm not down on the recent posts. I'm just writing this so that those people who might have only recently joined the list or only caught the ass end of the debate might have a clearer idea. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 10:21:13 +1000 To: somms@MIT.EDU From: Carolyn Hanel Subject: My first message Hello Seth & all the others on the Soundgarden Mailing list. It's Carolyn from Mount Gambier in sunny South Australia (well, sunny today, anyway. It's still winter over here but we've had a week or so of spring-type weather so now we're all hanging out for summer to roll on.........) and I'm a recent (in the last year or so) Soundgarden fan. I only have their Superunknown album, as well as an unauthorised CD of one of their earlier concerts, but I really like them and will gradually add their other albums to my music collection. Now I'm here I don't really know what to write! I just thought I should send something, because in my "welcome" message from Seth he said that > >Keep in mind that the last Soundgarden list that was started only >lasted ONE article and then died. Please don't let that happen. > so here I am. I guess I could tell you I'm 27 and a bit of a music freak, owning about 660 albums (going back to the old cassette tapes, records and now CDs). I like a fairly wide range of music, but some of my favourite bands include Violent Femmes (they are fantastic in concert), Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Green Day, The Cramps, Talking Heads, Exploding White Mice, Red Hot Chili Peppers..............oh I could go on & on. And of course I like Soundgarden! Has anyone out there heard of Silverchair, Tumbleweed, Cruel Sea, Midnight Oil, Hoodoo Gurus?? All pretty good Australian bands. I was surprised to find mention of Silverchair on the World Wide Web so I guess someone in the US knows them...... Till next time ~ Cheers from Carolyn Hanel. {carolyn.hanel@mtg.for.csiro.au} ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 10:37:39 +1000 (GMT+1000) From: blind dog To: The Garden Subject: Re: New album On Wed, 16 Aug 1995, Daniel Ladle wrote: > Dear all, > I have just found out that, yes, Soundgarden have started work > on a new and as yet untitled album which they have the start of half of > the tracks for.

However I keep hearing conflicting messages so I think that I will try to get into A&M records and find out the official story since most record companies are online now and post there new releases a couple of months in advance. I will post my findings later.

I found that very powerful & disturbing. My favorite movie: Black Robe (about the destructive & sometimes beautiful mix of European/Native American Indian culture in 17th century Canada.... it is so beautiful to watch, go out and rent it immediately if you haven't seen it yet. Not mainstream crap. A real intellectual movie) Yay! Excellent, thanks for responding to my quest for themes. Slaves and imprisonment is a good one, I hadn't thought of that. But dogs was going to be my next post - two other people noticed it. Did you know that Chris has a lot of dogs? Here's a more obscure one: Heart Attacks "And I'm sparking like a heart attack (Reach Down) I thought there was another one somewhere on Superunknown, but now I can't find it.

(the Beatle's cover) It really sticks out as a personal line. I really enjoyed that song "no attention" as I heard it on Self-Pollution radio. I have it on tape. It is one where Chris starts out singing in a sonorous voice, and then escalates to a scream - I like that. It is top notch musically. A soundgarden song is blaring during the one Brad Pitt scene in "true romance" I thought that was a great coincidence, cause I was really into Brad Pitt at the time I rented the movie.

I like reading about stuff from other people who have similiar interests. The new album sounds exciting! Any more INFO is most welcome. I read that Smashong Pumpkins are putting out a Double album. More of those from good bands would not go astray. (let's discount GnR's wank.) You guys in the States should catch You Am I while their over if you missed the on the Soundgarden tour. We had SG for the Big Day Out (better than Lollypoploser by all accounts) a few years ago here in Aus. AND they played in pubsas well. I'm talking 1000 people max. I saw them at Selina's (Pub) where they had a few Tech difficulties but played Brilliantly. They did seem more at home on the big stage though. Best be off, the sun is calling. See ya RICH. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 13:27:07 +1000 (GMT+1000) From: blind dog To: The Garden Subject: ramblings just a messge to all of you list members who are thinking of becoming non-members: could you please, please, please mail your administrative requests to saperl@mit.edu? it seems that no matter how many times people post about this, it goes in one ear and out your mother. so once more, that address is : saperel@mit.edu one more thing (while I rant like a madman and simultaneously apologise to those of us who don't need to be told this), while reading these horrible unsubscribe posts and replies from unsubscribers I've been mailing, it seems to me that there are people on this list who don't find what we have been talking about interesting. one or two have said that there are no intelligent threads here. others say that there hasn't even been anything about soundgarden in their inboxes.

I know people probably get hung up on saying that because they are a relatively new band, so I guess a lot of people say band's like Led Zep because it sounds like they are more legitimate music fans. My humble opinion is that thay are worthy of the acclaim. They are all masters of their respective instruments, and Chris' moody, dark & driven lyrics and vocals compliment and highlight it all perfectly. I think the music they produce has the lasting appeal to make them a band who, like Led Zep et al, are cited as a great influence on the genre they work within and will be worthy of this sort of respect in the future. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 14:41:09 +1000 (GMT+1000) From: LITTLE JOE To: ClownWithBazooka Cc: Kelly M Allen , somms@MIT.EDU Subject: Re: your mail On Wed, 16 Aug 1995, ClownWithBazooka wrote: > Please god make them stop! > Clown With Bazooka If they don't stop, there is no God! ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 16 Aug 1995 23:57:48 -0500 (CDT) From: John Darron Subject: Re: your mail To: LITTLE JOE Cc: ClownWithBazooka , Kelly M Allen , somms@MIT.EDU I'm gay and drunk, does it matter???? ------------------------------ To: blind dog Cc: somms@MIT.EDU Subject: Re: ramblings Date: Thu, 17 Aug 1995 01:11:05 EDT From: seth > just a messge to all of you list members who are thinking of > becoming non-members: could you please, please, please mail your > administrative requests to saperl@mit.edu? it seems that no matter how > many times people post about this, it goes in one ear and out your > mother. so once more, that address is : > > saperel@mit.edu that's saperl@mit.edu. there's only one "e" in saperl. i know it was just a typo, but if people send requests to the wrong address and they bounce, they'll post to the list to achieve their goal. again, saperl@mit.edu saperl saperl saperl saperl saperl remember that, people. only i need to be made miserable by having to deal with your unsubscribe mail. leave these other innocent list members alone. seth (listadmin) ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 16] ***************************************
