Ok, my turn.

Also, I am sure he had dark hair and dark eyes - = Religion was a big thing in those days and Jews did not mix much.

It reminds me of that Heavy Metal Munsters track they used to play on the Z Rock 50 radio show, Jerry where are all the riffs??? I got Silverchair Tomorrow at the same time and it may not be at all original, but its got a catchy tune and that kid's voice is cool, sort of Vedder v Cobain, I did'nt hear much of an SG influence as has been said, in fact it sounds almost exactly like fellow antipodeans AC/DC's track Night Prowler, the chords are identical. I hate to say it but Silverchair - 1 AIC - 0. Please god don't let the next SG single be a letdown.

I'll bet that Jesus couldn't play >Outshined (or any other SG stuff for that matter). No, but he _did_ originate the pose. And he was an axe man, in the carpenterial sense. It's been years since I took my art history classes, but I seem to remember that Jesus hasn't always been portrayed as a blond haired, blue eyed man. Every culture tweaks the image of Jesus a little bit, I guess to make his face more simpatico to the masses (ok, not every culture - those in which Christianity has some sort of foothold). Of course, Jesus' Aryan incarnation has been used, perversely, to argue that people of other races are somehow inferior. Those people need to spend less time looking at pictures and more time actually reading the Bible. Anyway, I've seen paintings of Jesus as a Mediterranean-looking man, a black man, and an Asian man. I'm thinking he probably would have had short, dark, curly hair, dark eyes, and an olive complection. But then, I've only seen pictures of his mother, so I don't know. He may have gotten the blonde hair and blue eyes from his Father. I'm going to have to say that I lean ever so slightly more towards Kim as the Jesus look-alike in the band. scott ------------------------------ From: Jennifer C Graham Subject: RE: I want to be king.

Of course in this country most people are such a mixture anymore who knows and truthfully who cares. The package looks fine and the talent inside is excellent! By the way I still say with Chris' short hair he looks more devilish.

Besides the genes for dark hair and eyes are dominant over the ones for blue eyes and blonde hair. So it is likely that jesus did not have blue eyes or blonde hair. This debate is getting really silly, there is no evidence to really support a european jesus everything points to it being false. We live in a society dominated by europeans and so they are not going to change the picture of jesus. So lets move on.

There, you've made my point for me. It is not likely that Jesus had blonde hair and blue eyes, but it is *possible*. The darker pigment genes may be dominant, but as any high school biology student can tell you, if there are two of the recessive genes, the recessive trait occurs. And those recessive genes are present in many races with darker complexions. Sorry i had to keep this going. Um, a good opening band for sg? How about, uh, how about, uh, how about the tea party?

Here's something to ponder. Many literary reports of Jesus said that he had fiery RED hair, which would eliminate both Chris and Kim as lookalikes. Also, if Jesus really was the son of God, I'm sure that he COULD play Outshined -- maybe even Spoonman. ------------------------------ From: Jennifer C Graham Subject: Re: Chris as Jesus On Wed, 1 Nov 1995, alisa brozena wrote: > > It doesn't matter if Chris looks more like Jesus.

If you need more info after this just let me know and I will be even more specific (not sure exactly what info you want). The book is softcover, approximately 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". 214 pages plus a Discography and a Chronology. It has small black and white pictures throughout the book (not that many but some I have never seen before). The official title is "Soundgarden: New Metal Crown" by Chris Nickson. First publication November 1995. I have not read the entire book (never enough time) but it starts out with a history of music that kindof gives a background of where Soundgarden came from. It seems to be written pretty well especially for only $10.95 plus shippring. Hope this is the info you needed. nephend ------------------------------ From: "VASANT RAMAMURTHY" Subject: Kim isn't Asian!? mrl5@Lehigh.EDU (ClownWithBazooka) said: >Kim is NOT asian, he is indian as in the indian subcontinent.

I think I said it before - I'd love to see a HUGE show with Soundgarden and Alice In Chains (but who would be top billing?) However, if it was in Australia, I'd love to see a local band open for Soundgarden - Tumbleweed, perhaps? Highlight some of Australia's talent! But for me, just seeing SG live would be great (OK, so that's a bit corny, but true!) Jackhammer. ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: I was a groupie Hi folks. Last night I was lucky enough to see 3 Australian bands that are touring at the moment, at one of our local pubs. Lucky because not living in a city, we don't tend to get many bands here to go to. Lucky also because playing in a pub to only 150-or-so people is wonderfully intimate. One of the bands was Powderfinger. Some of you might remember I wrote to the list a while ago because I'd just heard their music, and I was very impressed with their vocalist, Bernard Fanning, because he had such strength in his voice, a lot like our Chris Cornell. To hear him sing last night was fantastic. So here comes the groupie bit. I felt I just HAD to go and speak to him after the show to tell him what a wonderful singer I thought he was. And I took with me a pen and piece of paper to get his autograph! (I never do things like this). Because we were all only in the small room, I was able to just wander up and introduce myself as they were packing up their equipment, and tell him how impressed I was. He was a great guy, and took it as a real compliment when I told him I have him right up there with Chris Cornell. And of course he signed my bit of paper............ SO, do any of you have similar stories of talking to band members, be they from Soundgarden or another band? When I say talking, I mean in real conversation where there aren't hundreds of other people around clamouring to talk to them also. BTW, the other two bands playing with Powderfinger were Fur and Sidewinder. Fur didn't do much for me, but Sidewinder was excellent. If any Aussies have a chance to see these bands, do so!! Oh, and the Silverchair concert I went to last week was pretty cool. Even some of you diehard Soundgarden fans (like me) would have enjoyed yourselves, I'm sure. They played with such enthusiasm and energy. And boy can they thrash. Israel's Son was just brilliant..........the crowd went berserk.

When I say talking, I mean in real >conversation where there aren't hundreds of other people around clamouring >to talk to them also. Hey, do you really want to hear all about my groupie days???? Lets remember I been around when little know bands like Arrowsmith, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy, Roy Harper (who they ask), ELO, The Who, Guess Who, and a few others were just the opening act.. I have met members from each - and did the goofy fan stuff. But, I did get to spend an hour or more sitting with Rory Gallagher - talking, drinking, I even helped him string his guitar for the next show. It was the thrill of my life, I walked 5 feet off the ground for days. He was a truly a great artist and human being.... Blind Dog: Your question about opening act - there is a local band by the name of "Kage" that would be a great opening act for Soundgarden. They are a three member band, that's does a mean metal sound and great for head banging. There is also a band out of Annapolis by the name of "Jimmy Chicken Shack", that is good. Both groups have CD's out.

And great mutterings they are too, Blind Dog! Just the kind of question I like. Without hesitation, I say Violent Femmes. Because they are so different from Soundgarden (and yet I love both these bands), hearing them together would be such a good contrast - I think they'd complement each other well. And wouldn't it be cool to have the Femmes sing "Add it Up" and then Soundgarden sing "Big Dumb Sex"? Just imagine it: "why can't I get just one kiss......why can't I get just one screw.....why can't I get just one fuck..." followed by "I know what to do - I'm gonna fuck fuck fuck fuck you" !! :-O I've seen the Femmes live twice - and they're excellent. Really get the crowd in. And I WANT to see Soundgarden live - I'm sure they'd be fantastic too. What more could I ask than to see these bands together? I'd be right up there in heaven with Jesus (who'd be playing all the songs from Soundgarden's next three albums, of course!!). But I also agree with Aleko and Jackhammer - Tumbleweed is one great Australian band that would really rock wildly with Soundgarden.......you non-Aussies just don't know what you're missing out on!!
