But, I saw an interview somewhere shortly after Superunknown came out, and the interviewer asked Chris why the band still releases vinyl LP's. Chris's response was that a gatefold LP gives the kids something to sort their pot on. So if the band _doesn't_ light up, at least they're concerned about their fans who do.

If she's still alive (and I haven't heard anything to indicate that she isn't), I think Wendy O'Williams would make an excellent VP.

Daniel Garrett ------------------------------ From: dxb136@psu.edu (Dan b.) Subject: DID YOU KNOW? I just bought the new Presidents of the United States of America cd and on one of the songs called "Naked and Famous", Kim Thayil plays guitar. Just thought you might want to know that. Oh buy the way Matt Cameron is the best and most amazing drummer in the world. My 3 Sound Garden favorate songs are: 1. The Day I tried to live 2. Like Suicide 3. My Wave I also like any song from Badmotorfinger , Superunknown, and "Your Savior" of the Temple of the Dog cd. Matt plays some awesome drum fills!

BRuno. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: da book From: nephend@usa.pipeline.com (nancy e phend) In reply to Jennifer's post that she finally received the 'Soundgarden Book' after waiting a month from Waldenbooks. Are you referring the the 'Screaming Life' book about the Seattle scene or the 'Soundgarden - New Metal Crown' biography by Chris Nickson? I have them both and think they are both good. Screaming Life for the photos and Soundgarden-New Metal Crown for the in-depth articles. Or do you have a different book/ nephend ------------------------------ From: Jennifer C Graham Subject: What Book? What book is this on SG? How much was it and is it any good?--Jenn ------------------------------ Subject: Re: What Book? From: nephend@usa.pipeline.com (nancy e phend) The Screaming Life book about the Seattle scene is a hardcover 'coffee table' picture book. I paid $35.00 plus $3.00 shipping from Sub Pop mailorder. The Soundgarden biography book is a softcover that I mailordered from BehindtheScreams. It was $14.90 including shipping. They have an order blank in Rolling Stone or check out their web page. If you have any other questions let me know. nephend ------------------------------ From: "KIRSCHNER JEFFREY" Subject: Re: 3 favourite songs. Being new to this mailing list, I thought I'd break the ice by listing my own three favourite songs. Sure, it must be redundant by now, but every Soundgarden fan (freak) has there own list, so I thought i'd share mine. And they are.... 1. The Day I Tried to Live: Virtually defines the word cathartic. Excellent guitar, lyrics, vocals. Highlight of superb "Superunknown" album. 2. Drawing Flies: Don't we all have days were we feel like the protaganist of this killer tune. Unbeleivable lyrics, and love that sax! 3. Mind Riot: How can anybody not like this song? Well, thanks for listening (reading), and, now that I've posted my first message, I realize, Hey, it's not so bad!!!!! ------------------------------ From: Frizzle Fry Subject: MANGA Yeah, I'm into Manga stuff. I just saw part two of the Macross Saga last week. It was really funny, but it had it's moments of Japanamation magic. Has anyone seen Naussica or Akira? Those two are epic Japanamation classics. Oh, yeah....SOUNDGARDEN!!!! ------------------------------ From: Tonerkins@aol.com Subject: I want to be king. Since it's Halloween eve, I was thinking if I had a coustume party and Chris,Ben,Matt and Kim were invivited what would they come as. OK, so they are way too cool to come to my Halloween party BUT if they did. My guest is Chris would make a fine Lucifer, Kim could be Rasputin(the mad Russian ) Ben,a scarecrow and Matt could come as Tom Petty not much of a costume for him. Any other silly ideas? ------------------------------ From: GORDON SCHUMWAY Subject: Halloween I think Matt Cameron would make a great Luke Skywalker.

Not crack. > Clown With Bazooka Thanks for telling me.. I never really figured it was about crack.. But, I was sitting back, and thinking. You know, it makes sense... Chris has admitted to doing crack when he was a kid, and if you listen to the lyrics, it COULD (which I know now doesn't.. ) be his struggle to kick the habbit. I know differently now... :) ------------------------------ From: BdMtrFngr Subject: Re: fav 3 SG songs On Mon, 30 Oct 1995, jolputvo wrote: > > > On Sun, 29 Oct 1995, Jamesetta Simpson wrote: > > > >2> I can't believe that nobody has mentioned "Somewhere"!!!!

As an aside, i just listened to LTL, and i can't see where old Hank Rollins has a right to say anything bad about soundgarden, considering how similar the sound of Rollins' Band is to soundgarden's sound on Gun. While i'm not going to yell ripoff, i do think he should have a little more consideration for his influences. -j ***************************************************************************** "I'm luck's last match struck in the pouring down wind." -Soundgarden ***************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: Kate Mercier Subject: Soundganja I just have to respond to the pot comments. If you check my school address, you'll understand why I consider myself to speak somewhat authoritatively on this: Lumping cocaine and CRACK (?!??) and marijuana into even remotely related categories is a joke. I am willing to publicly state that I assure you: NO MEMBERS OF SOUNDGARDEN ARE EVER GOING TO OVERDOSE BECAUSE THEY SMOKED TOO MUCH POT. So, don't worry. I think they are smart enough not to get hooked on any SERIOUS drugs. Just a thought...
