Well, far be it from me to turn down such a flattering request, so you can see it at: http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/images/jan.html By the way, the inline JPEG is just a resizing of the GIF that he emailed to me. You can get the GIF itself by clicking on the JPEG, but I warn you, it's 1.14 megabytes. For artistic reasons, I will not resize it. On the bright side, it's by far the best image I have available, so if you have a fast connection, or are willing to spend the time, please download it. The small JPEG does not do the picture justice. Also, the photographer is selling originals, if you want to buy one (or many).

Since nobody cared about my Message, I never posted again. Today, I also read that Soundgarden Fake Message. Later, when Seth posted the actual address it was sent from, I asked my brother (with whom I sahre my Internet account) and he told me he had done it. Fact is, he has been reading the alt.2600 FAQ. It is there where he learned to send Fake-Mail. The account is mine but he was the one who did it. As you can see, he hardly knows English, he's a hacker wannabe.

Anyone else > >have albums like that? you betcha... NUDESWIRL - (self titled) released a few years ago on the `megaforce' label, i think...incredible guitar layering and some prime-time musical arrangments. features some of the finest use of feedback and harmonics that i've ever heard. good schtuff... THE URGE - (magically delicious, receiving the gift of flavor) like the bosstones? wish they had a little more soul blended with punkish guitars? the urge is for you. ska-core-funk-metal-rap-punk goodness. a live show to die for. MY BLOODY VALENTINE (loveless) - i know many people have probably heard of this band, but certainly not enough...kevin shields (bandleader) is the master of `ambient' guitar melodies. it takes a while to get used to their recording style (very `airy' sounding, tinny at times, light vocals you can't understand) but it's really grown on me, that's for sure. STICK (heavy bag) - wow. possibly my favorite live band on the face of the earth. (they recently added a new drummer who doesn't appear on this album--unfortunately--their old one was kind of weak) heavy, screaming guitars and politi-punk type lyrics sung with style. fans of sg, helmet, and black flag should definitely check this out. KILL CREEK (stretch, st. valentine's day garage) - nifty guitar work and all-around tight melodies. the vocals sometimes leave a little to be desired, but good listening overall. sorry to take up so much space, but these bands are too damn good to ignore. oh yeah...soundgarden is a nice band.

Is it cool for anyone over the age of 17 to like Silverchair. I think not. If you think it's OK...the line into the high school cafeteia to view the collective works of the great 80's bands New Kids on the Block and Menudo forms to the left. Do record companies and shitty butt-rock bands (see above list) exploit artists into sounding like whatever's HOT at a given moment? I think so. I've been "paying attention" to the music industry for too long to know that what they are forcing down our throats as "cool"...is just an attempt to rip the last dollar from your flannel pockets. >I bow to you, oh great one. Could you please be so kind to us uninformed, >poor souls who wander in the darkness and supply us with a Defintive >Seattle Copycat & Rip Off list, so we can at least fake that we're in >the know? Sure, here's a partial list - feel free to add to it: Stone Temple Pilots - The Kingdom Come of the 90's. Possesor of the most uncharismatic one named lead singers ever. Though he tried to increase his street cred by becoming a stylish junkie. Smack kills. Unfortunately it always gets the wrong people. Silverchair - Soundkindergarden, Pearlvana etc. Not a shred of originality in any of their music/lyrics/style. You can compare these guys to firehouse, warrant, and trixter. Dig - During the height of Nirvanamania...MTV reals out these untalented lugs that sounded and looked exactly like Nirvana. There was a magazine article where a member of Soundgarden (yes, SG!) was wondering when these guys were gonna throw a baby into the water to chase after a dollar bill in their buzz bin video. It was the biggest nirvana rip off until the wheeled out the boys in Silverchair. I would like to add that most of the time its not the fault of the band members. They really are trying to create a good album without being in the biz just for the money. Blame the record companies, agents, parents of band members (read this months addicted to noise cover story on Silverchair), managers and most of all blame yourself for buying into the big lie. Your stupidity (and mine) guarantees it's gonna happen again and again and again.... > Jesus... No, my name is Steve.

Alice In Chains Columbia Records is ready to release ALICE IN CHAINS, the eponymous new album from the critically and publicly acclaimed multi-platinum Seattle rock band. The new album is Alice In Chain's first commercial release since the group's Jar Of Flies EP debuted at #1 on the Billboard album chart the week of February 12, 1994. Since its release, Jar of Flies has sold more than two-and-a-half million copies in the United States while Dirt, the last full-length Alice In Chains album (released September 1992), has been certified triple platinum with stateside sales in excess of three million. ALICE IN CHAINS was produced by Toby Wright (Jar Of Flies, Corrosion of Conformity's Deliverance) and Alice In Chains. The album was recorded at Bad Animals Studio in Seattle and mixed at Electric Lady in New York City. The new album features twelve new Alice tracks, all of them composed by the band. Nine of the new songs have acerbic penetrating lyrics written by Alice frontman Layne Staley while the other three showcase the poetic prowess of guitarist Jerry Cantrell. The songs on ALICE IN CHAINS are: "Heaven Beside You," "Again," "Nothin' Song," "Over Now," "God Am," "Brush Away," "Head Creeps," "Shame In You," "So Close," "Frogs," "Sludge Factory," and "Grind." The band is: Layne Staley (vocals); Jerry Cantrell (guitar); Mike Inez (bass); and Sean Kinney (drums). Formed in Seattle in 1987, Alice In Chains released We Die Young, the group's first EP, and Facelift, the band's debut album, in 1990; each has gone on to gold and platinum status. Alice released the EP Sap in 1991 (now certified gold) and the album Dirt in 1992. In 1993, Alice In Chains triumphed as headliners of that year's Lollapalooza tour while Dirt was named Best Album of the Year in Spin magazine's Readers Poll.

My name is Ben and I am a student living in Brunswick, Melbourne, Australia, etc.... I am absolutely stocked to find this list after being on both the Pearl Jam list & the AIC one, and no offence, I found them quite uninspiring (the lists, not the bands!!). I've been into Soundgarden for quite a while. I was converted after first hearing Gun, but my favorite is by far and away Jesus Christ Pose. This was reinforced after hearing them doing a searing rendition of it when I was lucky enough to catch them in the States at Rochester last year where they played with You Am I(Aussies!). Anyway, enough of this mindless chit-chat, I just want to say what a pleasure it is to be on this list with fellow lovers of this great, timeless, and just basically shit-hot band. - -Ben.... - -s9511466@minyos.xx.rmit.edu.au p.s. if there are any fellow Melbournians out there wanting to see some bands, drop me a line and we'll arrange something. ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: Re: singles/ultramega lyrics Why not just read them on Seth's page? ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: Re: singles/ultramega lyrics On Mon, 2 Oct 1995, LITTLE JOE wrote: > Why not just read them on Seth's page?
