Wouldn't it be interesting to see SG do the unplugged thing. Don't lose it now - I know SG is a power driven band, they would need a straight jacket for Ben. I just said wouldn't it be interesting. They could do Fell on Black Days as one of the numbers. Just think it would be great to hear Chris vocals and the rest of the guys without the outside distraction (just once). God I feel like I'm walking on thin ice by even thinking this. How about it, what other songs do you feel the guys could do in the unplugged vein?

Dan ------------------------------ From: j Subject: Re: your mail Sachin, Being the trying Soundgarden collector that i am, i have of course heard the acoustic version of like suicide. When i listened to that song originally, i thought that it was a great song made possible only by the combination of all the instruments involved, but then i heard Chris Cornell's solo version. I don't know if Soundgarden should come out with acoustic stuff, cuz i'm not sure Kim Thayil knows what an acoustic guitar is. But Chris Cornell's damn good at it. -j ------------------------------ From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: Acoustic Sachin, Regarding your comment concerning Soundgarden doing acoustic stuff, I think it would definitely be interesting. I really liked Like suicide acoustic, and seasons. If they did the unplugged thing they might have to put ben in a straight jacket, I just cannot see Chris staying seated in a chair during a show for any length of time. Fell on Black days would definitely sound cool acoustic. Mind Riot perhaps, and somewhere adn searching with my good eyes closed. Spoonman would sound cool acoustic, theres a demo of it on the movies singles. Does anyone know if it is available on a bootleg? The thing is unplugged is small intimate social thing that I don't see soundgarden doing. They are all anti-social, hell they picked ben as a bassist because he had no friends. I can't see Kim with an acoustic Guitar, Or Matt playing the drums softly. Besides songs like Limo Wreck and Fourth Of July would lose a lot acoustically. I can't see it. I can see 1 or 2 acoustic songs now and then. But not a whole shows worth.

You're right. I also think it's one of the greatest pieces. We all know how well Cornell can sing and it shows up more on the acoustic version. I don't know...I can't think of anything really intelligent to say about it. It's just really good. I also like "Seasons" off of the "Singles" soundtrack. If anyone out there knows of any other acoustic pieces, please share them with me. Thanks.

Here are just a few of the posting I have gotten so far. OK, I know one of you out there does a great job at collecting this type of list for us (I sometimes handle up to 200 piece of mail a day - so forgive me if I forget a name a long the way) so how about this as a new list. Songs that could be done Unplugged Seasons - "Single" CD My Wave Hands all Over Mailman Toybox - "on the Flower EP" Incessant Mace Girl U Want "Fell on Black Days singles" acoustic version of "Fopp" be fun unplugged "Big Dumb Sex" Fell on Black days Mind Riot Somewhere Searching with my good eyes closed Spoonman Half Heads Down (maybe ?) Jamie ------------------------------ From: j Subject: Supermainstream I am wondering if anyone else has heard the Australian import cd "Supermainstream" and if anyone knows anymore about outtakes from the ep Chris Cornell was recording called "Songs for Ozzy" I discovered Black Sabbath recently, and say what you will, but they sound to me like a major influence on Kim Thayil's riffing. Two other questions, if anyone knows the answers. Before Matt, when it was just Kim, Hiro Yamamato, and Chris doing drums and vocals, did Soundgarden record anything as that three piece? Also i have a desperate need to know who did the original "Smokestack Lightining"? That song and "Incessant Mace" can please even people who don't listen to any form of rock music. -j ------------------------------ From: The Meter Man Subject: Re: Matt I believe so, too.

I agree, who does this FUCK FACE think he is.Mocking the greatest name's in music like Neil Young and Soundgarden If you think your'e so great send some of your fucking lyrics and lets see how good they are. And if you want some great lyrics why don't you listen to Bon Jovi"this ain't a love song, but I love you baby" or some shit like that.Or how about. the great,amazing Del Amitri"flys do it, bee's do it ,even educated fleasdo it, lets do it lets fall in love,couse evn farocious baboons do it, letfall in love".

Maybe Soundgarden should record it. ------------------------------ From: "Limo Wreck" Subject: GREAT DRUMMERS There's been a lot of discussion about Matt lately so i figured i'd replace my typical rant by making a summarized list of great drummers in MUSIC. ** MATT CAMERON from Soundgarden: of course he is tops in my book. "Jesus Christ Pose" is just on of the songs that he kicks ass on."Gun" is another song that shows off his skills of being a great drummer, but also shows he can do what a drummer is supposed to do, keep the beat. ** JOHN BOHNAM from Led Zeppelin: His nickname was the God of Thunder. What else do you need? ** SEAN KINNEY from Alice in Chains: Sean doesn't get a lot of attention because Layne and Jerry are usually the receivers. Seans diverse skills have been shown both in the metal and acoustical relms of AiC's music. On "Jar of Flies", he showed that he could make a drum kit sound like a bunch of cymbals. And he did the same thing on "Dirt". But he also showed great talent on "Sickman" and his quickness on "Would". For big AiC fans, you know Sean for his continuous cymbal strikes, so we should call him Cymbal Man. ** Chris Vrenna from Nine Inch Nails: i guess he's pretty good. Anybody that can play that fast live deserves to be mentioned. ** Charlie Watts from The Rolling Stones: this guy has class and is a pure drummer. ** Danny Carey from TOOL: this guy is just fuckin awesome. If you've ever heard TOOL live, he sounds like he's in the studio. Great precision and cymbal work. ** Chad Gracey from Live: This guy is young and awesome. For an example of his best work, try "White, Discussion" from "Throwing Copper". well, there it is.

I bought it anyway, however and was surprised to find that it was one of the best albums I've heard in a long time... After hearing stuff like In Utero, one could never imagine Nirvana doing Unplugged. If Nirvana can do this well, Soundgarden Unplugged should rock!!
