Look at Sonic Youth..on stage at any show there is at least 50 (minimum) guitars each with a special tuning (tho SY do like to have weird tunings. For SG some guitars work for some songs switch to use for another song.

For instance- Favorite technically and musically-SUPERUNKNOWN-SOme may say it was their sellout album, but just read the lyrics. And it was kinda cool seeing dim-witted cheerleaders and co-workers sing "Black Hole Sun". Favorite Loud one-"Louder than Love"-Kinda like lava personified. Slow, brutal and loud. Favorite Experimental-Badmotorfinger-"Mind Riot" has to be one of my top 3 fave Soundgarden tunes. "Searching with my good eye closed" had a great beginning as well. Each a favorite in their own right. I heard that their new album will have the lyrics of "Superunknown" and the music style of "Badmotorfinger"-any confirmations also, I heard of a potential opening date at Red Rocks Stadium in Denver around April, that may be too good to be true though Later sean ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Aug 1995 11:41:54 -0700 (PDT) From: Matt Toomey To: somms@MIT.EDU Subject: Re New Album HEy everyone, whats the word on the new album?

Hi--I figured i might as well give it a shot and ask---Does anyone have any SG videos to let me borrow to watch? I would very much appreciate it and would send It back definately when i was done(or when you need it.) I SWEAR I would send it back unharmed, because i do understand how important it would be to you. Well, I was just hoping someone would let me, because I have no videos and just want to see one. I don't know what I could give for collateral, but If someone wants to help me, either you can respond here, or E-mail me at WshuWerHre@aol.com.

The light (i.e., sun is the light) is exposing your true nature to the world - you can't hide. Now stripe yourself of all other protection (clothing, emotion, etc.), and you have one cold experience. Mostly Chris writes with a metaphoric style, hidden and double meaning run rapid in each of his songs. He has a great talent for this type of writing, another writer/singer who is truly gifted in this style is Seal. I would respond to the naked in the cold sun with - "Wrapped in the warmth of the moonlight" Chris voice: Chris doesn't sound like Robert Plant (other then the screaming that most hard rocker do). He doesn't hid behind a scream, he usually uses it to add texture and style to his singing. The only problem is - he needs to use his diaphragm more, he is going to hurt his throat. BTW: Any comments on the new Candlebox and Red Hot Chile Peppers songs?

The song also features Chris on backing vocals, and possibly on guitar as well. I don't really care for the song, although in places it does have a cool SG groove to it. It's the same version that appears on Cooper's 1994 album, The Last Temptation of Alice. I suppose this would be interesting to someone who is superhardcore into collecting anything and everything connected to SG or Chris Cornell. If anyone would be willing to trade a tape of SG b-sides, demos from Badmotorfinger and/or Superunknown or ANYTHING from Hater for the single, e-mail me. The only SG b-sides I already have are Touch Me, Stray Cat Blues, I Don't Care About You, and Can You See Me.
