LISTEN UP Re: Led Zep, Nircrappa Re: dorks@my'olskool ------------------------------------------------------------ From: scsmeyri@ucsalf.ac.uk (stacy.meyrick) Subject: Absolutely nothing to do with Soundgarden, not even a mention. For anyone not capable of reading mail that has nothing to do with Soundgarden, then you know what to do. Shannon Hoon? What can I say that hasn't already been said, I fucking hate the guy. I couldn't actually care less that the guy's dead, I mean, we all die in the end. It's just a shame when someone with that kind of musical ability throws it away with such cheapness, may he rest in peace, or burn in hell, it's all the same to me. And to anyone who wants to die for him, go ahead, it's just as pathetic. "Nirvana was crap" (EJ Fry), I've got nothing against self opinionated people but to label a band "crap" shows how naive they really are. If you don't like them, then I guess that's fair enough, but a comment like that isn't justified. In my opinion, nothing is crap. I like, or I dislike, and it doesn't mean a band is any better than another, or as it was so blatently put, "crap". ------------------------------ From: 9304458s <9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> Subject: Nirvana Mailing List, Please? Can anyone tell me the address to subscribe to a Nirvana Mailing list. Not that this list isn't enough to satisfy my needs. I assume that there is at least one, even though the band is no more. I'm still a Net infant, and I haven't found a such a list in my explorations. Please mail me personally (we don't want to clutter up the SOMMS list with irrelevance, do we?). Thanks to anyone who can help. David the SG and Nirvana freak. ------------------------------ From: Frizzle Fry Subject: Led Zep, Nircrappa There's no way you can begin to list favorite Zeppelin tunes, there's too many of them! After 10 years of churning out awesome song after awesome song, picking a top three would not do them justice at all. Why are pepole listing their favorite Nirvana songs? Nirvana was crap. Geez, really? Uh-huh! Wha? Yup! That's right! They blew! Why don't we list our 3 favorite Police songs or Pink Floyd or Primus or tool or Jimi Hendrix??? Well, forget that. Actually, Primus sucks! ------------------------------ From: mm328995@minmet.uq.oz.au (John Grieves) Subject: Re: Question How could I pass this by? I answer most of these quizzes! >So, if you had to choose your three favorite SG songs, at gunpoint, >what would they be? 1. Rusty Cage - rhythm that stuffs me up every time, personal meaning to the lyrics... 2. Jesus Christ Pose - Matt's efforts on drums are great, good hard driving song... 3. Black Hole Sun - people who have payed attention to any of my previous posts would know that I'm still infatuated with this song - brilliant chord progression... >If you had to choose your three favorite AIC >songs, at gunpoint, what would they be? 1. No Excuses - the first song that got me onto AIC, and still my favourite song of theirs... very personal meaning for me and can be used very effectively as a motivator... 2. Rooster - Sad song that gets me thinking every time 3. Them Bones - Sounds exactly like the level music to a level in DOOM II - I think this is very deliberate from the music developers for DOOM! Thanks to you if you read through that! Jackhammer. >John Grevas Northwestern University What a great name (compare with my own real name, John Grieves!)! ------------------------------ From: dts8@ns.hjampis.kiruna.se (Johan Sammelin) Subject: Mind Riot I'm too one of those Mind Riot-persons. When I started to listen to Badmotorfinger I couldn't choose my favorite song, they where all amazing. But the fist song I really loved was Jesus Christ Pose. But when time went by Mind Riot took over. When your head aches, when you're tired as hell and the only thing you want is to die; go home, put on Mind Riot (loud as hell) and you'll see that the song really washes away all the pain. Sad songs really makes me feel better, it may sound veird, but they do. Mind Riot is a very good example of song that makes me feel good. Together with Searching with my good eye closed, Mind Riot is my favorite on Badmotorfinger. Does anyone else feel that sad, dull and lonely songs make you feel better? -Johan Sammelin ------------------------------ From: Tony Dawe Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Wednesday, 25 Oct 1995 On Wed, 25 Oct 1995, Matthew Souza wrote: > I hope you like Goundsarden as much as you like LED LEPPLIN! > i don't think that you even like soundgarden, you can't even speel their name right. _____ ____ / /\ | | |\ | |\ | |\ |\ | |\ | / / \ | | | \ | | \ | /\ | \ | \ | | \ | \ / \ | | | \ | | \ | / \ | \ | \ |__ | \ | \ \ / | | | \| | / | __ /____\ |__/ | / | | \| / \ / | | | | | / | | / \ | \ | / | | | / \/ |____| | | |/ |____| / \| \ |/ |___ | | SOUNDGARDEN ULTRAMEGA OK LOUDER THAN LOVE BADMOTORFINGER SUPERUNKNOWN TONY DAWE GBF2033@INFONET.ST-JOHNS.NF.CA ------------------------------ From: dgarrett@bcs.org.uk (Daniel Garrett) Subject: Led Zep, Nircrappa > There's no way you can begin to list favorite Zeppelin tunes, there's too > many of them!

Well, they were far from crap. Now i don't know. Depends on how close to sewer lines are to Kurt's coffin. -j p.s. The opening for hunted down sounds really melodius when played two octaves higher.

Since my heart is in almost the right spot today, I though I would give you a bit of a hand here. First there are over 100 hits on the Web pages (searched with just Nirvana - hate to think what would have come up with Kurt Cobain). To - to - to many to go through. There is one page that links you to most of the others, it may take a little work on your side. But if your really a fan this will not stop you.

Swallow your prides! Liesl, Milkman, and Little Joe, that's enough!! Didn't you guys read Seth's post to you? It's obvious that you'll never agree so just drop it. Delete each other,forget it and grow up!! Unfortunately, for those of us who get the digest form, it's not that easy to delete as the digest is like one big letter of continuous posts . Now, a somewhat SG related subject. I've misplaced my copy of Sub Pop 200 but I know there's another band on there (not Green River) who also does "Swallow My Pride". The singer is female. Who are they? ------------------------------ From: Ethan Hennessey Subject: Re: Enough already!! Swallow your prides! The Band on Sub Pop 200 that also did "Swallow My Pride" was the Fastbacks.

Jimi Hendrix??? .... 1. Little Wing - cool guitar (did anyone know he used an organ amp for this song?) 2. All along the Watchtower - again, good guitar riffs and I like the vocals 3. Red House - blues are good sometimes (these are in no particular order) ------------------------------ From: "Andr D. Benassi" Subject: Re: Mind Riot Johan, > Does anyone else feel that sad, dull and lonely songs make you feel better? Dull songs don't make me feel better, but otherwise yes. This may sound dumb but back when I liked Poison (god help me for admitting it) I used to listen to "Something to Believe In" over and over again. I think they make you feel better because they let you get your emotions out in front of you, and also you can see that other people go through the same things you do. It feels really good when your down to go and do other things you like, like rocking out with the band or hanging out with some other friends, anything to get your mind off your problems. You start to realize that life isn't so bad after all and that its really worth living (The Day I Tried to Live). Anyway, that's what I think.

My comments are: Top 3 SG songs (god this is tough!) 1. Room a 1000 years wide 2. Rusty Cage 3. 4th of July Also up high on the list - Jesus Christ Pose, Little Joe, Loud Love, My Good Eye Top 3 AIC songs (even tougher) 1. Down in a hole 2. Rain when I die 3. Godsmack (wierd that they're all off the same album) Can't wait to hear the new album! I'm also a huge fan of the Mad Season album - top pick being Above - though the whole album is great. Top 3 LZ songs 1. Ten Years Gone 2. When the Levee Breaks 3. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (that was almost impossible - I'll probably change my mind tomorrow) As far as the whining high school girls go - (comment by Danielle, not Daniel), they do sound really lame, especially because of the Kurt Cobain - lipstick thing, but personally I really like Blindmelon so I'm not too happy that Shannon is dead. I'm really into the Soup album right now, especially the song "Toes Across the Floor". The weirdest thing is I just saw them in concert two weeks before he died. It was a great show too - at a club called LaLuna in Portland, OR. Very awesome place to see bands! But definately a bummer to know I won't see them play again. Guess that's it for now.

Little Wing 3. Purple Haze Pink Floyd 1. Money 2. Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 3. Comfortably Numb Tool 1. Intolerance 2. Bottom 3.
