How about a "twist" on this. Name you favorite "bootleg" or "non-original" Soundgarden song. It can be off a bootleg, soundtrack or import CD. Examples: Fell of Black Days Demo, Birth Ritual from Soundtrack, Like Suicide Acoustic version or my personal favorite Searching with My Good Eye Closed Live from the Diggin the Garden Bootleg. Hope to see lots of posts on this. nephend ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: bootleg fav's NE>We've all pretty much stated our favorite Soundgarden songs by now.

If so, is it good and where can I get it at? If you've ever thought of checking out KIm Thayil's project band, Pigenhead, DON'T. Without question the guitar part is good, but they use a shitty drum machine & some fat guy wailing about not having a girlfriend or something. Maybe Kim Thayil should come out with a solo intrumental album...I'd buy it. ------------------------------ From: HQXH39C@prodigy.com (MR SEAN M MCELENY) Subject: day i tried to get a life - -this should settle THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE assumptions or rumors from a Rolling Sone interview, December 29 -Jan12 1995 RS:Is the "Day I Tried To Live" on Superunknown a heroin song? CHRIS CORNELL:" No, I don't have any heroin songs. Its about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive , which I've always had a probelm with. Its about attempting to be normal and go out and be around other people hang out . I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone. It's actually in a way a hopeful song . Especially the lines "one more time around /might get it", which is basically saying "I tried today to understand and belong and get along with other people, and i failed, but I'll try again tommorow". Alot of people misinterpreted that song as a suiside note song . Taking the LIVE too literally"...........(too lazy for the rest) words to live by in my warped opinion sean NOV 21 NOV 21 NOV 21 NOV 21 NOV 21 !!!!!!!ALIVE IN THE SUPERUNKNOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ------------------------------ From: Sachin Trivedi Subject: Re: bootleg fav's On Sat, 28 Oct 1995, nancy e phend wrote: > We've all pretty much stated our favorite Soundgarden songs by now.

I actually like that version better than the original, which is also awesome. ------------------------------ From: "BARRIGA SAMAME SAMAME" Subject: Jeff Ament i wanna know if is true that the bassist of Pearl Jam died in car crush accident?...

Maybe Kim > Thayil should come out with a solo intrumental album...I'd buy it. As for Center for Disease Control Boys, the chances of you finding their release (and the existence of an actual release is only conjecture) are about nil. The whole project was a joke; it was supposedly a parody of some country/western bands, with Chris playing snare drum standing up, wearing overalls and no shirt. As for Pigeonhed, it stayed in my CD player for 2 weeks after I bought it. I dug it out last night, in fact. It's a great disc. It's definitely one of the stranger collection of songs I've heard. You just have to understand that it's not Thayil's project. In fact, he's not even a member of Pigeonhed (Shawn Smith and Steve Fisk); he's just the guest guitarist, which is why you can't expect it to sound even remotely like Soundgarden or any "rock" band. seth ------------------------------ From: Jennifer C Graham Subject: Re: bootleg fav's My favorite non-original SG song is definitely: SHE LIKES SURPRISES I do not have a record player so I couldn't get it from the Superunknown LP, but I found it on a cd entitled FRESH DEADLY RARITIES. The album kicks ass. It also has: Fresh Deadly Roses, Come Together, Heretic, Like Suicide (acoustic version), and about 10 more B-sides! Has anyone else even heard of this album? Let me know--Jenn ------------------------------ From: mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) Subject: Re: Jeff Ament >i wanna know if is true that the bassist of Pearl Jam died in car >crush accident?... And also if Stone Gossard broke his leg and Jack >Irons broke his arm... I hope not, I liked Jeff and Stones work in Mother Love Bone, and Temple Of the Dog. I also like Jack's work in Eleven. It would be a shame the seattle scene has had enough tragedy.
