When Kim plays=20 Gibson he plays a re-released Gibson Firebird (he maybe plays other Gibsons= =20 but i=B4m not sure). The guitar that Kim uses the most is a Guild SG. Chris usually plays a Gretch (I don=B4t know what model but I know it=B4s a= =20 Gretch. It=B4s those gold and silver colored guitars).

What kind of guitar do you play? How long have you played? What kind of music; own material or covers? I myself play in a band. I play a Gibson Les Paul Standard, cherry sunburst,= =20 all-gold hardware. We play own material but used to play Soundgarden covers= =20 when we really sucked doing own songs. We are a quartet, I sing and play=20 guitar. Soundgarden songs are often hard, I learned to play them quite good,= =20 but one thing i impossable when you play SG-songs, the vocals. Chris sings= =20 like a god, and it=B4s quite hard trying to do that when you simply can=B4t= sing=20 like him. Your throat gets fucked up and it still doesn=B4t even get close= to=20 Chris. How can a man sing in that pitch, Chris kicks a whole lot of ass. It would be fun if you could answer. =20 DON=B4T PANIC -Johan SAMmelin =20 ------------------------------ From: Daniel Ladle Subject: New Alice in Chains -Reply >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >Anyone know when the new Alice in Chains album is due? Sorry, man...they broke up a little while ago. Too bad, huh? Moon Druid <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sorry MD but they didn't actually split, they are taking a break from working together for a while. Mainly because they were having problems with Drugs and arguments about them. However when the next album will be out. Who can say? To make it SG related. Have the lads ever thought (no offence to Matt) of using a drum machine on any of their songs. It would make for an interesting sound which I for one would like to hear. Dan ------------------------------ From: Daniel Ladle Subject: Chris's little education made him want it more... -Reply Wouldn't it be cool if it were possible for us to get hold of the bands old school reports, we can try to second guess them, eg for Kim it might have been "very creative and good with his hands" or something along those lines. Dan ------------------------------ From: heaton@ix.netcom.com (Sid Heaton) Subject: The Axes they Grind? Couple things, sorry no tickee, no introducee, - -- Kim's guitar looks like a bonafide, bonaroo, Gibson SG, but it's not. Don't know why I know this, not sure it matters, but it's an Epiphone knockoff. Don't know the model name/number, but 'tis an epiphone. He switches off live to grab a guitar with the tunings appropriate for a given number, but his main doo-fiddle is this white-as-my-momma's-buttocks Epiphone SG-knockoff. - -- Never even seen Chris play an SG style guit-fiddle. Seems like every time I've seen him play, it's with a semi-hollow body, Gibsonesque guitar. He doesn't seem to stick with one guitar long. Admittedly, I'm mainly in the dark here. - -- re: Top Ten Albums from Seattle. Why limit it to the '90's? It's much more fun to say "OF ALL FREAKIN' TIME." Then, you get to include (and this is only those I remember with two-too-many visits to yon bourbon bottle): - Bing Crosby - The Kingsmen (yeah, admit it Louie-Louie-breath) - The Sonics - The Wailers - Hendrix - Heart (ugh, but gotta include 'em) - Steve Miller - Robert Cray - The Young Fresh Fellows (just ask the Replacements) - The Presidents of the United States of America - Stephen J. Bernstein - Queensryche (can't forget the East Side metal contingent) - The Posies (gotta love 'em -- they got Brent Musburger's nephew on drums) - Insert your fave here And, if you wanna just say "Pacific Northwest" (or, if you're cosmically hip, "Cascadia"), you could go ahead and bring on in your fave-rave Vancouver and Portland bands. And, yes, while that does mean Bryan Adams (argh), it also means Everclear. Checks and balances, and all, dontchyaknow? Oh, yeah -- fave drink?

Greg ------------------------------ From: samm@mail.usa1.com (Sammy) Subject: Re: Badmotorfinger? ********************************************************************* "...Do you hear a cow?" First, let's not censor ourselves here and just call it Badmotherfucker. Second, I'm afraid I don't hold it in as high regard as some others here. It was lost somewhere between the pure power of LTL and the elegance of Superunk., matchiing neither in either. Dan Garrett is right in pointing out that it was a breakthrough for the band in terms of musical complexity. "Face Pollution" blows my mind. But "Mind Riot" is unlistenable (Cornell goes beyond "dark" and gets downright whiny). And what's the deal with the saxophones? Let's face it, it was a transitional album. They had lost the unbridled ferocity of Yamamoto, and Shepherd hadn't yet added his touch. In fact, although taken as a whole I'd say Super. outshines any previous release, Yamamoto has left a void that Shepherd hasn't quite filled. There will never be another "Power Trip" or "I awake" (perhaps my two favorites of all, musically). Yamamoto added yet more darkness to Cornell's brooding. Shepherd, on the other hand has given the band more range with his lighter touch. Well, the slope up is also the slope down. And I AM listening to Badmotherfucker now. "Sitting here like uninvited company, sharing a cigarrette with negativity. Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes and drawing flies." And Re: Suicidality evident in "The Day..." People seem especially on edge about musicians from Seattle killing themselves these days.

(Unsaid fact: he played all of them a little better than well) Well, i can't count that high.

Jamie ------------------------------ From: Daniel Ladle Subject: All bands together Dear all, At work at the moment the guys in my room have been listening to a rather cool tape from the film Judgement Night and it gave me an idea for a discussion. The tape is mainly a kind of joint effort from a bunch of different bands working together such as Del the funky homosapien & Dinosaur Junior, Sir mix a lot & Mudhoney, Run D.M.C & Living Colour and Ice-T & Slayer. So how about different bands like this for Soundgarden to record with. I think an interesting if nothing else pairing would be The Shamen & Soundgarden. Could be some interesting suggestions Hear ya soon Dan ------------------------------ Subject: Help From: jsimpson@mail03.mitre.org (Jamesetta Simpson) What in the devil are you two talking about. Damn, first I get lesson on drum and drummers - now we are doing the guitar thing. JUST JOKING guys. Since the only musical instrument I play is the CD player (and badly at that), I find it interesting to read this type of input - although I usually don't understand it even after reading it several times. I guess I just have to find someone who plays the guitar and have him explain it to me. But, I would like to ask a question of all you bright guys on the CD player. I have a simple problem. My CD player will not pick up the voice on the second cut of Hater (Who Do I Kill). All I get is the music no words. I have played the CD on other CD equipment and there is no problem - the word are there. Can any one out there tell me why this is happening.

We made Garden Of Stone t-shirts (my idea, although I didn't get one) so it's easy to recognise fellow list members on the concert site. It works pretty well. I won't be able to attend any US SG shows (for obvious reasons), but maybe a SOMMS t-shirt wouldn't be a bad idea? ------------------------------ From: MoonDruid@aol.com Subject: New Alice in Chains > >Anyone know when the new Alice in Chains album is due? > Sorry, man...they broke up a little while ago. Too bad, huh? Where did you get that from? Layne and Jerry do have their fall-outs, but contractual obligations guarantee us one more AiC album. After that, we'll get Layne solo album, and then... Who knows? ------------------------------ As far as my top ten Seattle albums goes... Hm... In _no_ order: PJ - Ten PJ - Vs. Brad - Shame MS - Above AiC - Dirt AiC - JoF SG - BMF MLB - Apple TotD - TotD JH - Are you experienced? Honorable mention to Singles soundtrack.

The flame was mine concerning "Mind Riot." I still can't stand it, but tastes differ. Then again, since it is clearly another song in mourning of the great Andrew Wood, maybe I should take it easy on Chris. He lost a friend. Also, have you heard the 1988 demo "Songs For Ozzy"? This is all Cornell's playing. Yes, he's quite a talent. I agree. Sammy ------------------------------ From: The Back Door Man Subject: Re: My Junk "Going Back Home" by the Ginger Baker Trio.

Here's what I would guess they were... Kim - Somewhat spacy. A bit of a rebel. More intrested in thinking and talking and expressing himself than actually writing. Matt - Very intense character. Watch out, because he's not quiet, and he's got a very fast brain. ADD with Hyperactivity. Ben - A bit of a loner. He's a nice kid, but doesn't have millions of friends. Chris - An all around bad kid. Teachers can't appreciate people.
