I'd like to add 'sweat covered beast' called Dave Abbruzzesse, ex-PJ. He had that incredoible way of sneaking in quiet cymbal fills, ghost snares and stuff like that. Try to listen to a remixed version of Even Flow (the one on the single and the video), or any PJ bootleg with him on drums. Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Will (?) Clahoun (Living Colour), Nicko McBrain (Iron Maiden), Stewart Copeland (The Police) and Ginger Baker (Cream) deserve to be mentioned also. - ------------------------------ From: ThisRulz@aol.com Subject: Re: A lot of things to say and not enough time to say it. > why do people care what the lyrics mean??? not everyone listens to songs Because music has a certain impact on me, my emotions and my mood. If I just wanted a kick ass rock I would be listening to Aerosmith, AC/DC and stuff like that. But, I mean, how many songs about getting laid and speeding on a highway do we need? I want music I listen to to be both musically and intelectually chalanging. Soundgarden, among others, cover both points pretty well. - ------------------------------ From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: GREAT DRUMMERS > I would just like to add one more drummer to the list. > ** BRAD WILK From Rage Against The Machine: Ever hear "Township Rebellion" or > "Know your Enemy" or just about any other song on rage's album this guy rips > shit up!!!!

Forgetting this guy is similar to forgetting Brad Wilk . Sure the vocals captivate your attention but you still can't ignore the excellent drumwork . Oh yeah for all of the people that think that SG is a so-so band , take the following . If everybody is so great , they appear mediocre . Remember the Dream Team in the Olympics ? All of the stars and nobody scored 30,40,or 50 points . They were all equal . But if you have a star that carries the group like Bono or the late Freddie Mercury or even ( dare I say it ) Eddie from PJ , the band looks like there is a leader and when he leaves or dies like Curt or Freddie , the band falls apart .

I was sitting on the couch (my little MTV generation self) and watching Beach MTV during that fateful summer of '94. It wasn't that I got my first kiss, or that a beautiful girl moved in next door that I remember the most (neither are true)...I remember Black Hole Sun. "Black hole sun, won't you come..." were running through my head for the next few weeks..then again, so was Far Behind (sorry, Clown ;)...) so I went out and bought Superunknown and Candlebox. I first listened to Superunknown, and thought it was mediocre, if that. I listened to Candlebox and loved it...boy was I ever stupid. An hour later, I threw in Superunknown again...but in my DISCMAN this time, for the full effect. I played more than just Black Hole Sun (the ONLY song that made me not think it was a waste of money) and found that I loved it. I put it in my stereo...and it didn't move for much of the summer. (The reason I didn't even HEAR the Badmotorfinger stuff is because I was still listening to hip-hop and crap like that...UGH) So, I was out in NYC and I went to a music place out there for 'No Alternative' because I thought Verse Chorus Verse by Nirvana rocked...well...I listened to Show Me a little and loved it...and that was where my passion for Soundgarden TRULY (Ha-ha!!! I made a joke) began. I saw Badmotorfinger and I wanted it SOOOOO much...but I wasted my money on No Alternative and food that trip...so I was out. So, I waited a little bit...but I got it for Christmas. That was when my obsession with Soundgarden began. I got Louder Than Love at the beginning of this summer at a used CD shop ($8.00!!!) and that was when my love for Soundgarden began. Soon after, I got Screaming Life/Fopp...that's a cool album. Then, a few weeks ago, I picked up the Digging the Garden bootleg...but there was one thing missing.....Ultramega OK. Don't fret...I just got it about a week ago!!!! AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPOINTED BY A SINGLE ALBUM TO THIS DATE!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry...it's a little long, but you get the point. Anyone else? Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: Lyrics To 'Show Me' - No Alternative I don't THINK that they're on the page yet...so here are the lyrics to one of, IMHO, Soundgarden's BEST songs...written by none other than Ben Shepard (Lyrics AND music!!! Go Ben!!!) SHOW ME I woke up in a wooded house I had my feet tied down to the floor I looked outside the window There's gonna be a July storm Show me, show me, show me the door Show me, show me, show me the door That boy he once said that a tires only flat on the bottom That boy wound up dead When his girlfriend's daddy shot him Show me, show me, show me the door Show me, show me, show me the door Show me...all the door Show me...all the door Well, leaf that feel the tree That's the straw that broke the camel's back My daddy threw his cup in the river It was, enough to break the dam Show me...all the door Show me...show me the door Show me...all the door Show me...show me the door Show me...all the door Show me...show me the door Show me...show me the door Show me...show me the door Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: Re: Substance Abuse In a message dated 95-09-17 18:52:44 EDT, you write: >I think Matt and Kim are as clean as a whistle.

Chris, well, yeah, he's like Kim, throw in a joint or two. Ben, however...that's a good question. I don't know. He DOES have huge veins. Maybe he's gone through heroien and now is being weened off of it, or maybe he still does it. Moon Druid ------------------------------ From: ADAMSON RICHARD J Subject: Sorry - Pop music. Hi guys, Sorry if my last rave didn't make much sense. I'll blame it on too much Uni work and a part-time job, combined with mixing by own band's album. It's fantastic to see the number of musicians on the list. A testament to SG's musical ability. Anyway, my point was that there will be the inevitable indie backlash to Soundgarden's success. I hear the cries of 'sell out' already. Fortunately for US bands, they seem to retain their credibilty after a hit record. More so than here in OZ. Any claims that SG have become more commercial are utter BULLSHIT! This firstly implies that commercial music is bad. While many artists that have chart success are utter crap, this doesn't mean that a band is crap 'cause they sell records or that they changed their music in order to gain wider appeal. Popular culture changes it's tastes in a constant evolution. If great music just happens to become popular...ALL THE BETTER. It your pissed off that SG are popular 'cause it's not cool to like them anymore then you SUCK big time. I think that will do for now. SEE YA, RICH. P.S. RHCP are cool. Just stop the 'my fave band is better than yours' crap. This is a bloody SG list. The dickhead did it for effect. Chicka - LABEL'S SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ From: Chicka Jackeen Subject: how i got into soundgarden Well, i've been touched by the stories of people telling about how they got into Soundgarden, so its my turn. I used to hang out w/ these skateboarders. They were a couple of years older than me. They would listen to Suicidal Tendencies, Spyra Gyra, and Quiet Riot. They also listened to almost everything on SST and Cruz (All, Descendants, Black Flag, Gregg Ginn) Well, they bought the flower EP (because it was on SST) and i loved it. I was still young, so i didn't know to buy more Soundgarden. Years later, i bought Badmotorfinger, on the sole basis that i remembered from somewhere that Soundgarden was cool, even though i didn't know where. I was impressed and bought the only other Soundgarden CD the store had at the time, Screaming Life/Fopp. I was happy. I then began to collect sg stuff. Ultramega OK blew me away, esp. Beyond The Wheel, Incessant Mace, and their version of Smokestack Lightning. Then i got Louder than Love & then Superunknown came out. At the time i was more interested other styles of music. I also bought candlebox and Superunknown on the same day. i knew ther was something special about superunknown the first time i heard it. i heard it before black hole sun was released as a single, and i thought black hole sun sounded more like a (please excuse the heresy of this remark) Pearl Jam song. Don't get me wrong, "Ten" was a miracle, but i thought that song just didn't quite fit the style of the rest of the music. After multiple listens to "4th of July", "The day i tried to live", "let me drown", "mailman", and "Fresh Tendrils" i began search for that ep i heard so long ago. I found it and it is the reason my email address is what it is (Toybox is the third track on the ep). Soon, i'm gonna compose alist of all the Soundgarden songs i have and ask for any additions & where i can get the ones i don't have. i already know that i don't have "Into the Void" , a song sg recorded with a couple of guys from Black Sabbath. Well, my collecting goes on... -j ------------------------------ From: Chicka Jackeen Subject: Re: Substance Abuse On Mon, 18 Sep 1995 MoonDruid@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 95-09-17 18:52:44 EDT, you write: > > >I think Matt and Kim are as clean as a whistle.

I was partying at a friends house one day, and I was flicking channels on the T.V., I stopped at MTV for a brief instant and Black Hole Sun came on, I usually flame Mtv so all my friends threatned to kick my ass if I changed the channel. 5 Minutes later I was a SOUNDGARDEN FAN. Anyway I went home and actually listned to more than just "Hunger Strike" on my Temple Of the Dog Cd. I loved Chris's Vocals I decided I wanted to hear more of the Cornell guys voice control and Supersonic Screaming. Anyway I then went to my friends house and borrowed his badmotorfinger. I played that Cd to death, I then had to buy my own when I went to college. I kept listning to BMF so long that I almost never listned to superunk. Anyway I played Superunk all the way through one day when I was just chilling out in my dorm room. I thought Limo Wreck the Day I tried to live, Head Down, Fourth of July, Tdittl, etc etc where some of the best pieces of music ever written. So I bought louder than love, then this summer I discovered Seth's unofficial Soundgarden Home Page, and I discovered the wonderful world of Bootlegs, and the Albums screaming life/Fopp and Ultramega Ok. I picked up the Ultrmegaunknown Cd and The Ultramega Ok cd. (Since the best _____________ Music cd store I have ever seen is down the street from me.) Anyway thats my story.

You may also remember that Steve ended it with an immense list of every band he could name off the top of his head, just to show how ridiculous the discussion was. Well, this "great drummers" discussion is much the same. We could go on for eternity, with every member of the list posting the names or his/her favorites. Would anyone care to change the flavor of this thread a bit, perhaps to discuss some of the drummers out there and how their styles are somewhat similar to Matt's (you _do_ remember subscribing to a _Soundgarden_ list, don't you?), instead of saying "these drummers are great" and leaving it at that? Or better yet, a discussion of exactly what is Matt's style? And when I talk of a discussion about style, I also don't mean "this drummer is great; he plays fast" or even "Matt is great; 'Jesus Christ Pose' kicks ass." Not being a drummer myself, and not possessing even the tiniest fragment of knowledge about the instrument, I'd be interested in some good analyses of Matt and how he works. seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 50] ***************************************
