Fellow Soundgarden fans, Just wondering where the heck anyone is. Are there many members or this a new list? I was in Mexico for a while, and there I purchased Lolopalooza 92, Soundgarden live. Anyone heard of it? Is it rare? Some conversation starters . . .

Well...I think that it's a song about when you put someone down so low, they usually hang in your mind. Like, if you totally sent me hate mail and insulted me, you'd probably never forget it. "hello, don't you know me? I'm the dirt beneath your feet." Is like, "Hey, asshole. Remember me? They guy you insulted." "But I'm riding you all the way!" Is sort of saying..."You'll never forget me, and I'll never forgive you." Moon Druid - --BOOM shaka'laka!!! ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: Playing Matt's sets > Just today, while listening to that drum intro to Wooden Jesus (off > TotD) I found myself thinking: 'MY GOD, HOW DOES HE DO THAT?!?!'... > Awesome. I wouldn't be able to pull it off with a couple of friends, and > he does it by himself... You think THAT'S tough, try to keep the rhythm of Jesus Christ Pose. DANG!!! I tried it over at a friends house, and I made a fool of myself. Even he had troubles doing it (he did it, though, and got it down pretty damned good by the end) I just stuck to screaming and singing. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: F*** me for being considerate I agree with ya, Vikki. NOT using the word is just fine. If you woulda said Fuck, great we wouldn't have paid much attention, but with Raitz's little "I'm a christian and I say fuck" thing, that's rediculous. Grow up, Raitz. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: I hate teenie-bopper dance music at a party > Can you believe the shit they play in nightclubs these days? Nope, and I hate it at parties too. Friend of mine ONLY played that crap. I brought over my collection, and he said "For god's sake!! People are gonna trash the place!!" well, he was wrong. People were really mellow and had a lot of fun, amidst every single Soundgarden album. "Nice music, Freddie, where'd ya get it? It's a lot better than that dance crap you always play!!" I just kinda grinned when I heard this. ALSO....I hate parties on a large scale where the DJs only play that crap. I said to one, "Play Jesus Christ Pose." and he was like, "Huh?" and I said "Soundgarden, Badmotorfinger." he said...."Uhhhhhh....nope. Are they rap, or R&B?" I replied, "Neither, they're metal." and he said, "Oh man, you can't dance to that!! It's all screaming and hype!! Listen to the funky beat of all this beautiful music." Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............no. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: Theme songs > Mailman? It's the story of my life I think!

Take a closer listen. And if you play it BACKWARDS..... Well.....I think it's about dumbasses behind the wheel that SHOULDN'T be there.....for instance, in the German disco on Digging The Garden, he screams "BACK THE FUCK UP!!!" like........three times. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: Fresh Tendrils > anyway, to make it soundgarden-related, anybody out there to uncover > "fresh tendrils"? (english is my fourth language, y'know.) Well, first off, Tendrils, as we all know, are those damn things that cling for the life of the plant. If it weren't for tendrils, the plant would die. SOOOOO, "Shame, shame _________" as seen so many times is like "You need me to survive." and stuff, I think...

I was in Mexico and I picked up a Soundgarden disc called "Lolopalooza 92", eight tracks: Face Pollution Outshined Gun Jesus Christ Pose Cop Killer Hands all over Rusty cage slaves and Bulldozers Is this a bootleg, rare album or what?

It's a bootleg. You'll notice that the sound isnt very good. If you listen closely you'll find out that the bootleg isnt from the chicago lollapalooza like the cover says. But it's actually from the phoenix, AZ lolla date. if anyone has the exact date of the phoenix show...please email me. lastly, you dont have to go to mexico to buy this boot. You can find it at any cool record store. steven ------------------------------ From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: Theme Songs Everyone, My theme songs would be Either Fresh Tendrils Or Fourth Of July. Fresh Tendrills because I agree with Moon Druids whole you need me to survive idea and it reminds me of a ex-girlfriend but we won't get in to that. Fourth of July because sometimes I think that no matter how obvious something is only I seem to know whats going on. "Everywhere no one cares the fire is spreading, no one wants to speak about it" You what know something fucked up? I cannot type the verses for that song straight through I always pause for the music in between. Like I type the first part then I played the guitar part in my head then I typed the second part. I either listen to that song to much, or the wreck that is my brain is definitely going down. Oh well Clown With Bazooka ******************************************************************* Shame Shame Throw Yourself Away Give Me Little Bits Of More Than I Can Take If It Sits Upon Your Tongue Or Naked In Your Eyes Give Me Little Bits Of More Than I Can Try -Soundgarden ------------------------------ From: LEM89@aol.com Subject: SG on Grammies To Baldrick2 and everyone else who is interested: Soundgarden was on the 1995 Grammies, not 1994. That's THIS year. And yes, I have it on tape, if anyone wants a copy. My tape is a compilation of all the MTV videos & more. Laura ------------------------------ From: DEWGod Subject: Re: anyone here? Well, i'm kickin' it here at CU in boulder, CO. unfortunately there is a shortage of soundgarden fans, and a surplus of frat/SOHO bullshit. so all i can do is drink the DEW, play the music and jam to Chris and friends. by the way, just just watched singles again last night. isn't it just damn cool when Chris walks out and hangs on the curb when the car is getting boomed to the ground by CITIZEN DICK?!

I don't quite qualify. Suck. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: Chris Mackenzie Subject: Re: Mailman...he's a cool guy Isn't mailman a song about some mailman that has a nervous breakdown/gets fired and goes on a shooting spree? Didn't that happen a few years ago in the US? Chris Mackenzie "Leaves growing blood hungry leeches and your fresh deadly roses" - Soundgarden "He caught wind of the big brown beaver so he thought he'd take himself a peek, but the beaver was quick and grabbed him by the kiwis and he ain't pissed for a week (and a half)" - Primus "I know you well, you are a part of me" - TOOL ------------------------------ From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: Re: Mailman...he's a cool guy Chris, You are correct, Mailman is indeed about a Mailman that goes insane and goes on a shooting spree after he is fired. I believe the mailman in question is from the washington state area. I think they executed him after he was caught, because Chris said during a concert in the seattle are that he was sorry they killed him. I live in washington and I remember hearing something about it in the news, but I cannot remember quite what.

Subject: Ultramega OK I would just like to take a second to let everyone out there know that I think Soundgarden (aka Chris Cornell) is the best band with the most talent and musical genious out there today. And I would also like to add the fact they are up for the title of band of the 90's.. I like this idea a whole lot myself.. I also can not wait for there newest CD.. hopefully it will be out by christmas.. Does anyone know where I can find SOMMS? I would like to add that to my ever-growing collection of SG stuff.. -One each big fan. ------------------------------ From: daniel rosendahl Subject: Re: Ultramega OK > > > I would just like to take a second to let everyone out there know that I > think Soundgarden (aka Chris Cornell) is the best band with the most talent > and musical genious out there today.

They are SCARCE, since we all want a copy. There are some out there, it will take some supersleuthing.

The whole band wrote Jesus Christ Pose, without the rest of the guys we would not have songs like: Mailman, Limo Wreck, New Damage, Slaves and Bulldozers, Fresh Tendrills, Head Down, My Wave, Track 6 on Motorfinger(can't remember right now), Get On the snake, Room a thousand Years Wide, I'm falling asleep so thats enough. The point is although Chris Cornell writes a Majority of Soundgardens material, they still would not be Soundgarden without the rest of the guy's songwriting talents and Musical skills. Soundgarden without Matt, Kim and Ben. God Forbid!!!!!

I have been to a few SG concerts, most recently one in NY, where Ben Sheperd seemed to be deeply disturbed about.....something. During the show, he stopped playing bass and started spitting and yelling into the Most pit, he kicked one of the techs. off the stage after they attempted to plug his bass back in. From my observation he seemed to be on drugs......horrible drugs.
