Well, regarding the "death" of Jeff Ament, I seriously doubt it as they are going to be here, in San Jose,CA., next Saturday. And no, the show hasn't been cancelled. The reason why they'll be here is for a makeup show. Eddie had to leave after only 7 songs last time due to the stomach flu. That's okay, everyone got to see Neil Young instead!! Boy, you can imagine how "thrilled" the crowd was! If they have a new bass player, we'll let you know.... Favorite non-album SG song? Probably the acoustic version of "Like Suicide" although "Kyle Petty, Son of Richard" hasn't left the cd player now for the past week. I just love that line "don't you ever take no fuckin' shit!!" Definitely an aggressive outlet. ------------------------------ From: Tony Dawe Subject: Re: PJ is still on, so...

Glenn Ryan ------------------------------ From: gstanway@you.wincom.net Subject: Jeff Ament Regarding the death of Jeff Ament: Since this has gotten next to no publicity at all, I doubt, big time, that the PJ bassist is dead. I mean, think about it: the bassist for PEARL JAM, one of the biggest-name bands in existence, dies, and no news stories on it?? If Jeff is dead, I'll eat Clown's Bazooka... :)> Glenn ------------------------------ From: jolputvo Subject: Re: Mind Riot On Thu, 26 Oct 1995, Johan Sammelin wrote: > 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? > I always find that sad, dull/lonely songs always end up making me feel even worse. The songs that usually make me feel better (although, I've never really been depressed--I have had nothing to really be depressed about. So maybe I shouldn't talk..) are the ones that are filled with intense anger. ------------------------------ From: jolputvo Subject: Re: fav 3 SG songs On Sat, 28 Oct 1995 foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com wrote: > nah youre not looking too deeply into things...

But, I'm pretty sure that Chris isn't doing anything more serious than that (like crack, cocaine... etc..) See, Chris... Chris is Intelligent. You can tell, just in the way he presents himself, and his songs. He's not gonna go blow his life away on drugs. Now, Kim, Ben, and Matt.. I don't know.. Well, lets just say I wouldn't be excidently suprised if atleast one of them has done some heavier drugs since... Lets face it... They're a grunge band (well, I don't know what else you could call them, besides the best.. :) ------------------------------ From: jolputvo Subject: Re: fav 3 SG songs On Sun, 29 Oct 1995, Tony Dawe wrote: > On Fri, 27 Oct 1995, jolputvo wrote: > > > 3> definately a toss-up...

I got into this habbit of saying Feeling on Blackdays, because that's what I originally thought the title was. I knew it was fell on black days.. bad crow.. . Bad habbits are the hardest to break... :) Even sent in a request to play feeling on black days a while back (awesome video, IMHO) and the vj was like "what?!?!?".. heheh ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Mind Riot From: seth WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DO TO STOP PEOPLE FROM POSTING TO SOMMS-DIGEST?

Well, go ahead and sorry seth, but I'm afraid I have to disagree a little with you. and just like the last war with stacey, it looks like I have to make my intentions clear again. if someone puts me down, or my friend down, as liesl did with her first worthless post, then I will reply to the list. some of these people have to learn some respect for their fellow list members. I wonder if liesl ever read my original posting? I simply asked if these bio things really were necessary, especially on the list. sara has written to me, and I agree that we should make a truce on the issue. but liesl jumped right in with no forethought whatsoever, and then began to dig a deeper and deeper hole for herself. did she have to abuse my first post? no. did she have to do it on the list? hell no. then this guy andrew decided to take a shot. well, calling me and little joe losers might make him feel better about himself, but I'm afraid that shows no respect whatsoever towards either me, littlejoe or the list. what's your story andrew? do you even understand what we were originally talking about at all? or are you just here to poke your head up now and again to spout your ignorance? all I ask is that people don't jump in mindlessly. read the postings. and don't throw down on me on the list. because I won't stand for it. so think before you post. it will only take you a second, and will make life a lot easier. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: Re: Looking California On Thu, 19 Oct 1995, nancy e phend wrote: > Saw your post on the Outshined videos.

I apologize for not reading or replying to my E-mail but I have just spent 9 days in sunny Acapulco with two of my best friends . To show that I have not lost my skill at perpetuating some conversations here on the list , let me ask a question : Don't you think that Chris Cornell could do a better job in the White House than President Flipper ? Think about it : he's realistic , watching world affairs would'nt be boring , after a signing of the peace accords he would bring out the cabinet ( AKA the rest Of SG ) and they would rock . With him at the helm , we would be guaranteed a clean presidency . But wait , who would be the VP ? Politically Screwing with ya'll , Freshman Extraordinaire ------------------------------ From: Freshman Extraordinaire Subject: Industrial Races The best Soundgarden song so far is The Day I tried to live . Just the macabreness of it alone allows you to feel that you are not in the same place as that guy . It gives me chills ... wait .. it 35 degrees outside . Nevermind . Sincerely , Freshman Extraordinaire ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: bside favourite despite my choice of name, my ultimate favourite non-album song would be kyle petty. even though I wouldn't want to hear chris sing through that voice filter for a whole album. a close second would be no attention from the self pollution broadcast. it would be cool if that song is on the next record. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Experiment@aol.com Subject: More Seasons . . . I got some great responses on the guitaring for Seasons, but can anyone send me the LYRICS? You know how to mail me . . . The Guitarist-2001 ------------------------------ From: Kate Mercier Subject: B-Sides and ament The second half of this post is going to sound so callous... especially after the first part, but-- because I'm trying to to put a lot of credit into that out of nowhere comment-- I'll start with the b-sides: I (a huge pre-BHS fan) have only been lucky enough to hear one distinct b-side... and that would be the acoustic Like Suicide. I liked it very much. About Jeff Ament... I really hope that someone just pulled that fact out of their ass, because if they didn't, the world just lost a really cool artist. Plus, I would think that MTV would have said something about it. I mean, if they could interrupt Rock and Jock basketball. And, if Jack Irons broke his arm... hey, bones heal. Maybe they'll ask Dave to sub for him. ------------------------------ From: Chicka Jackeen Subject: Ben at the Grammys Ok, people, i just got back from listening to one of the greatest American punk legends of our time give a spoken word show (what, you thought i meant Silly Jo Armstrong?) and he told us (the audience) about his experience at the grammys last year. He said that after Rollins' band finished their performance they had a limo for the rest of the night provided by the grammy people. So he went to some of the "after the grammys" parties. First he went to Warner Bros., but he got bored w/ that so then he went to A&M's party. He said that's where everyone was really messed up at. He then proceeded to say that "the bass player for Soundgarden was so fucked up that he couldn't work his lower jaw" I don't know what he thought Ben was on, but obviously Ben was having his share of fun, i guess. I didn't know how to react to that when this guy who had been making a ton of good points just used a musician from my favorite band in the whole world as a bad example. Any one want to tell me how i feel? (now there's a lack of identity for ya.) -j ***************************************************************************** "I'm luck's last match struck in the pouring down wind." -Soundgarden ***************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: Avatar Subject: Re: your mail On Thu, 26 Oct 1995, Chicka Jackeen wrote: > On Fri, 27 Oct 1995, Avatar wrote: > > > Anyone here into Manga? It seems to be gaining popularity lately... > What the hell is Manga? Japanese animated movies and stuff... did you ever watch cartoons like Starblazers or Robotech? Both were Manga adapted for television in America and other english speaking countries. Manga isn't quite the same as cartoons, because it is directed at a wider audience (sometimes specifically teenage-adult audiences) and contains themes relevant to those age groups. The animation and cel quality in manga is generally unsurpassed by any other type of animated films.. that's one of the main reasons I like it. Hope that is enough information.. :) - - Avatar. ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 1 Issue 85] ***************************************
