The reason I Like (note the capital L) Soundgarden is that they KICK ARSE! Not just normal arse...I mean those big, flabby, bus-seat filling kind. They kick them into orbit. That is it in a nutshell, but I could fill your screen with reasons. Powerful, emotive songs, intelligent lyrics (I bet if any English Lit lecturer read SG's lyrics, they would think it was a postmodern masterpiece: irony, contrast, symbolism and all that...the same goes for Nirvana lyrics), talented musicianship....and so on. I'll leave it there, huh. David ------------------------------ From: 9304458s <9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> Subject: Stolen Prayer I didn't read the whole conversation (if there was one), so I don't know the whole story. What I say here may have already been said. On 21st of Oct, Ansel (I think that's your name, sorry if it's wrong) posted the lyrics to Stolen Prayer by CC. I did't remember hearing of an SG song of that title, but I recognised the lyrics. I later realised that this song appears on a CD my brother owns.. Alice Cooper - The Last Temptation. Sure enough, Chris is credited for writing the song on that album, and he does the backing vocals. Actually, I think the lyrics are a bit different on Alice's version to what was posted by Ansel (maybe the old fossil thought the song needed some work). Chris also wrote a song called Unholy War on that album. I don't know if this is news to anyone out there, but I thought I should tell you just in case. "I'm only faking when I get it right." SG David ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: Re: FW: getting to know you Little Joe Yes you should have posted it personally. If you would have followed the whole string of this debate instead of shooting your undoubtedly big mouth off, you would have realised that the only thing blind dog and myself were objecting to was taking up space on this list with shit that has nothing to do with Soundgarden. If you really need this sort of stuff to tide you over until the next album comes out then this probably isn't the place for you anyway. Most of the people who joined this list can find plenty to talk about that is Soundgarden, or at least music related. I'm not paranoid, I just don't want to piss the other members of the list off by flooding their boxes with this sort of stuff. If it was just one message it wouldn't be a problem, but it happens everyday. Hell this debate itself wouldn't have extended past the original post if dickheads like yourself hadn't posted your abuse to the list. Finally thanks for voicing your opinion of me as a loser. Maybe if you had ever had anything worthwhile to say on this list, I might take notice or perhaps even care. Until then either get some knowledge and talk Soundgarden or keep your trap shut! ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ From: samm@mail.usa1.com Subject: Re: Question >>If you had to choose your three favorite AIC and SG songs, at gun point, what >would they be? > To tell the truth, I could do without Chains (Please don't shoot) How about SG and Nirvana?

Drain You And just to ensure that my mailbox is once again set afire by the flames with which it fills, I add my three least favorite SG tunes: 1. MIND RIOT 2. My Wave 3. Fell on Black Days _Samson--<*>- P.S. When you're all finished flaming me, I'd be psyched if someone would figure out the missing lyrics in those songs posted the other day.

Well, if anyone has heard the tape from SG's '92 performance at Lollapalooza in Seattle (or if anyone of you were there), you'll notice that the backup vocals sound strange on that song. At first I thought that Matt was really sick, he sounded as though he had the flu and had just gotten out of bed!! But after watching it for a bit, I noticed someone hiding behind Matt's drumkit. Then this person popped up to combine his vocals with Chris's. You guessed it, Mr. Vedder!! Damn, he ALMOST ruined the song, but never fear, SG saved the day 'cause Eddie can't outsing Chris. ------------------------------ From: Chris Dawg Subject: Gunpoint magic Here it goes, race fans: MY FAVORITE SG SONGS: 1) The Day I Tried To Live 2) Jesus Christ Pose 3) Like Suicide Of course, I could go on and on with all of the sg songs I dig, but I don't think the gunman would like that too much.

You are only doubling the amount of bull shit on the list. So you see, you are half of the problem which you claim to despise. Instead of doing that, why don't you simply hit the delete key for bull shit (like the rest of us)? No mailing list in the world is totally kosher. Whenever conversations are present, people are sure to stray from the main topic at hand. Mind you, that is not a bad thing - it ads flavor. But what is bad is your bull shit response to everything. In the future, just hit delete. Thank you, drive through. On Tue, 24 Oct 1995, LITTLE JOE wrote: > > Yes you should have posted it personally.

Oh Carolyn, You are such a card! The passing plane actually made a really loud screechy kind of sound. Kinda like Billy Corgan caught in a blender.

Both pictures are in black and white and are 10"x12". THEY ARE GORGEOUS (yes I know I'm screaming). Both pictures are so clear it is unbelievable. I have never seen photos that even come close to this caliber. I strongly suggest ordering these photos. Hey, Xmas is coming up. Jan was very helpful, pleasant and prompt and it only took a short time to get the photos. Seth was right, the picture on the Soundgarden Home Page doesn't do the real pictures justice. nephend - a very happy Soundgarden fan :) ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: Re: Choosing at Gunpoint Don't know who began this: >> So, if you had to choose your three favorite SG songs, at gunpoint, >> what would they be? but here's my choice: 1. RUSTY CAGE - one of THE BEST intros to a song........ever, it's fast, racey, and I love the unusual rhythm in the middle.......fantastic!! 2. DRAWING FLIES - cool lyrics, delivered with great gusto by Chris, and I love the hard rock sound of this song.......motivational!! 3. SPOONMAN - great to sing to, nice and fast, upbeat, and I love the uniqueness of the spoon solo.......brilliant!! There you go. Those three songs rolled off the top of my head quicker than the gunman could ever hope to pull the trigger.

Jesus Christ Pose 2. Searching With My Good Eye Closed 3. Outshined nephend ------------------------------ From: Michael Travers Subject: Re: Radiohead Here in Boston there are two stations that I listen to frequently that play their fair share of SG. WFNX 101.7 (a self-proclaimed alternative station) and 104.3(?) WBCN "The Rock of Boston". I guess I'll take this opportunity to introduce myself also. My name is Mike Travers. I'm 20 years old and I'm currently a freshman at Northeastern University here in Boston, MA. I'd have to call myself a new SG fan. I had heard some of the older "mainstream hits" such as Outshined and Jesus Christ Pose, but didn't buy a SG album until Superunknown. I've only been subscribed to this list for about 4 days, but find it interesting. I have to agree with the people who wrote in about Pearl Jam covering a SG song. I don't ever want to hear a mumbled incoherent version of The Day I Tried to Live, Kickstand, or Fell On Black Days. Which I guess would be my favorite SG songs right now. Favorite 3 AIC songs. Don't Follow, Got Me Wrong, and Would? That's all for now, Mike Travers ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Tuesday, 24 Oct 1995 From: Mike Burnahm - -- [ From: Mike Burnahm * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- Hey, This is KickStand a very huge SG fan. Just wondering if anyone knows of any live video's and where I could get them. I was out of town when they came to dallas and I would love to has a live video. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: LITTLE JOE Subject: Re: FW: getting to know you Little Joe If I'm going to be abused on the list, I'm not going to reply in private. If you abuse me to everyone, I'm going to reply to everyone. I know that it perpetuates the problem, but I'm not going to sit and take it. The real problem starts when people like yourself who obviously have nothing worthwhile to say shoot your mouths off. I only voiced a very mild opinion on the topic originally and then you and Liesl etc decided to get abusive, if you want to disagree sure but do so in an intelligent manner. This may not be possible for some and if that's you I'm very sorry for your predicament but until, it is try and keep quiet or talk Soundgarden. ___________________________ = ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN = =========================== ------------------------------ Subject: Re: FW: getting to know you Little Joe From: seth Since it seems like Chief Gardener MoonDruid is on an extended coffee break (I'm docking your pay, buddy), allow me to intervene. Please continue your argument privately. That means all three of you. At one point the fighting was actually related to posts that were made to the list; now the fighting seems to be about the right to fight and has degenerated into a name-calling pride war. Well, go ahead and fight, but please, for the sake of everyone else on the list, do it privately.
