I'll second that notion... I remember all my friends thought "Here's Johnny" was a piece of decaying, lice infested dog shit when it came out, but some dickhead DJ's began playing it in the clubs and suddenly, everyone liked it!

Yeah, I hate that... last time I went to Fridays, I wore a pair of good leather shoes, but there was glass all over the friggin' dance floor!

I saw the film clip, along with Loud Love on Rage (Aussie late-night, early morning music show...) the other night. Silverchair were guest programmers and they did a great job. They played lotsa grunge-metal stuff (as well as their own music). I saw the U.S. version of Tomorrow... no wonder many Americans think Silverchair is just ripping off other grunge/metal bands the original Australian release version has a much more distinctive sound to it, and the film clip is better too... Also saw another film clip for Milquetoast, by Helmet with lots of scenes from "The Crow". If you've seen the movie, you can hear it playing in the background in one of the bar scenes, it's got lots of bass, really good song.

Steven said something about a SG CD-ROM release in October. What is it? Also, Ben has thrown a tantrum during every Soundgarden show that I have seen. It seems that he's always pissed, kicking, hitting, spitting, flicking off and yelling about something. The dude has A LOT of saliva. Someone get this poor guy some valium! Then again, when you're as good as he is I guess you can do whatever the hell you want.

Really enjoy it. Lately there have been a lot of posts about teenie bopper music, going back to school and not being able to go to concerts because of being underage. A new member recently asked about what type of people are on this list. I have been a Soundgarden fan since 1988. I have seen them in concert many times (they are always great) and I have most of their releases. I also got an autographed poster from the Save the Earth Auction a couple of months ago. It is from Lollapalooza 1992 and signed by all the members of the band (set me back $250 but it was worth it). Sorry i'm rambling. Back to my point. Am I the only fan out here that is over 30? Pls say it isn't so. nephend ------------------------------ From: DEWGod Subject: Re: anyone here? On Mon, 11 Sep 1995, B.

Am I the only fan out here that is over 30? >Pls say it isn't so. > >nephend > > It's not so! But I have a feeling we are few and far between. So far I have found it's doesn't matter - most of the true SG fans over look the age thing. One of the reason's I jointed this mailing list, is that there are not allot of older SG fans out there to talk music to. Or maybe they are afraid to admit to it. Since Kim and PJ made their I hate baby boomer cuts, the older music lover were forced underground. Most of the people my age, and the people I work with, think I have a screw loose because I like a rock group that is popular with generation X (God I hate labels). I will not apologize for my love of rock music or SG. There isn't a problem with liking Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, or Arrowsmith when it came to a person age. WHY should SG be any different? Music is timeless and ageless - just because your not 16 anymore doesn't mean your taste in music automatically changes. I got my first rock n' roll album at age 12 and God willing I'll get my last when I'm 112!!!!!!!!!!

This meant I had BILLIONS (well, seemed like it) of messages to read this morning. BUT I've survived, after chucking a few unsubscribe letters {Clown, you should know by now that there are just some DUMB people out there who will NEVER understand that they must unsubscribe to Seth & not to us! > grrrrrrrrrrr} and ploughing through all the rest. ANYWAY, I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who wrote to me about the Singles album. FYI, everyone who wrote suggested I get it. So once I've paid off the big weekend I've just had, I'll start looking for it! BTW, Limo Wreck is a great song to listen to (softly) when suffering BADLY with a hangover.................try it next time!!

Just to inform, the version from 'The Crow' is actually Milktoast. It differs from the version off of Betty known as Milquetoast. I've never listened close enough to the two to notice the exact differences... like that really matters (c: I was just wondering if anyone on here lives in Mississippi... especially the coast, because I've recently moved here from a music hotbed (Dallas.. don't laugh) and here's a basic nowheresville.
