Chris introduces this song as follows : "Here is a song from a movie wich nobody saw". Does anyone know what movie, and is there a soundtrack? Erwin, Belgium. P.S. Saw them perform at Pukkelpop in Hasselt, Belgium. They were great, even played "Waiting for the sun" (Doors y'know) > > >------- End of Forwarded Message The movie was "lost angels". There is a soundtrack. good luck finding it. The bootleg you have is called: Fortissimo or if you have vinyl it's a bootleg copy of Louder than live. steve ------------------------------ From: The Meter Man Subject: Matt Cameron. I totally agree with Jamie and the rest of you who find Cameron's drumming FANTASTIC! I've been playing drums for 11 years and he is like God to me. He was the featured artist in Modern Drummer magazine about six months ago. The article included transcriptions of a bunch of his drum tracks. It was here that I learned to play stuff like "Jesus Christ Pose" and "Wooden Jesus". Actually, in the article Matt admitted that the drum part to "Wooden Jesus" is a rip off of Steve Gadd, one of his drumming idols. Gadd played drums with Chick Corea. Matt also said that Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix's drummer) was another huge influence on him. Anyways, one of my goals in life is to meet him (like any of you care). Since John Bonham is dead, Matt has to be the best rock drummer alive! Just thought I'd say that.

Hit it." --Jake and Elwood Blues ------------------------------ From: swr@acsu.buffalo.edu (Steven Russell Jr.) Subject: FAQ? Hey list! I do believe that it is time to start up a Soundgarden FAQ. If anyone has any suggestions to a proper format to document the Q's....please email me. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated. So...send me your SG questions and answers (I want documentation!) I'll try to compile a beta version by tommorrow night. I'll post it to the list (if it isnt too big)...or to alt.music.soundgarden If anybody remembers my first version's of the discography....You know that this beta version will be ugly. Steven ------------------------------ From: Kathryn Mercier Subject: MTV Video Musick awards You know, I have to say: for some unknown reason, I spent my thursday night watching the pre-show, the show and then the post-showing of the MTV music awards. I loved Live, yes. I was once again reassured that Courtney Love has attitude, not telent, yes. I had fun criticizing the outfits, yes. But, at the end, I felt like I'd just spent six hours stuffing Wonder Bread down my throat. Gaacckk. Shit's B-O-R-I-N-G as hell. Also: Lost Angels was a really cool movie. Haven't seen it for a couple of year (long since before Ione married Ad-rock), but i remember that Adam did a really impressive job. Goes to show ya: Beeeeeastie's gotta lil' sump'in for everybody! Also: about the "ben incident" (all rightey, call the 5-0, we have ourselves a little ben incident over here... better call in the feds)... evern though I've only been to one SG concert, I've seen how some fans (tempramental frat boys beer-bonging away their parent's $$$) can sometimes act... and I don't blame any of SG members for throwing an occassional tantrum.! :-) Kate ------------------------------ From: DEWGod Subject: Re: Dew knows..

It all depends where you go. But I must admit the majority of places these days play that teenie-bopper, latino-woman, black man, hip-hop, dance, techno crap....and boy does it suck. You just wonder why I never go to those clubs and avoid them big time. > >I went to 4 clubs in Brisbane last night... maybe I was just there at the >wrong time, but all they were playing was fucking dance and techno! >What's the fucking deal?

It seems to me you went to bad places....if you know where to go you can advoid the crap.
