NoN Soundgarden beware Re: Cool SG Reaction ------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Eric G. Lanning" Subject: Re: !!!!!!!!Rare Soundgarden!!!!!! I have Digging the Garden, and would be willing to copy it for anyone. I would like to trade for any of the rarities listed, or for any videos (except for Louder Than Live, which I have) Some interesting things - Digging the Garden consists of two different recordings, the first of which is considerably better than the second. However, the first seven or eight songs (the first recording) are in a totally different order on the disc than they are listed on the back of the case. Also, in the middle of Slaves and Bulldozers, Chris breaks into the first verse of Alive, and then some thing I've never heard- "Jesus is my friend, and I like it love it." I'm not sure if any of this has been mentioned here before, but oh well. Eric ------------------------------ From: DanaBT@aol.com Subject: SG on AOL? If this is true, those of us paying for #$@@!?%^%!? AOL will finally get something from it!! Although I can't complain, Ozzy was on AOL the other night and was a fine gentleman indeed!! Alright, so list, what should those of us who have AOL TRY and ask the boys? And when I say try, I mean it. Just because you ask a question, doesn't mean it gets through to them. I finally got an answer from Ozzy but only after he opened another chat room. Unfortunately, I don't think those of you without AOL can get in on it, although most of you probably know some idiot, like myself, who subscribes to it so go visit that person that night!! P.S.

"why the HELL did the cost of joining the fan club jump from $2 to $8 as soon as you guys got yourselves an official web page?" "hey matt, do you think jeff ament looks good for a dead person?" "when do you plan to stage a private concert for the mailing list members?" "hey, do you guys want to join the chicken fajita mailing list?" "does it bother you guys that there are obsessive maniacs out there who adopt names like 'blind dog' and 'little joe'?" and, of course, we have to let them know we care about them and that we don't want to see them get flamed: "ben, unsubscribe requests go to saperl@mit.edu." "kim, please don't send chain letters to the mailing list." actually, i probably won't be saying anything, but i will be logging the whole mess if i can, so you can be sure the transcript will appear on our web page as soon as i can possibly ftp the text file from my computer to stargate's web server. seth ------------------------------ From: charris@i-max.co.nz (Clint Harris) Subject: re: monster magnet opening... >Why would anyone choose to hear Moster Magnent with Soundgardern? >Blaaahh!!!

In a relatively weak year of music, I think Soundgarden definately deserves the award for best band. True, Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands, they definately do have a soul. But, when it comes to both soul and music ability, Soundgarden definately takes the prize. Take 'Fell on Black Days' I played that song to death earlier this year when a close member of my family died. Today has been a day from hell, one of my professors basically put me on his eternal shit list for going into work instead of participating in a extra cirrucular activity, I have a huge ass test that looks like I may bomb and one of my roommates may be on the verge of breaking up with a longtime girlfriend. Listening to 'Fell on Black Days' again didn't take away any of the shit that has been happening, but there's something in a song, if done right, that can act as a release and take away some of the pain you may be feeling, Soundgarden does that for me today and I'm sure in many days to come My Thoughts Peace ------------------------------ From: Chris Dawg Subject: Digging the Garden/Slaves & Bulldozers That version of "Slaves and Bulldozers" may be the very same one that is on the Motorvision video.

I managed to see Soundgarden then Monster Magnet immediately after them at the Reading Festival this year - at first I thought they were going to be on at the same time (different stages, you see), which would have sucked since they were the two main bands I wanted to see out of the whole weekend. But I saw them both, and Soundgarden blew me away, and Monster Magnet weren't half bad. Interestingly enough, Mudhoney were playing earlier in the day, but I didn't bother going to see them because they suck. (Okay, that was flame bait... they don't suck, they just don't really do anything for me. Sorry.) Right, irrelevant post really, but I couldn't stand by and watch Monster Magnet being dissed.

Jackhammer. ------------------------------ From: Andreia Clay Subject: Meeting SG band members- Thayill story Hi! I had spent years wondering what I would do if I met Jerry Garcia but I'd never really thought about meeting anybody else. Although I have lived in Seattle for 3 awesome years and have heard many stories about meeting members of Nirvana, SG etc., I never thought about it. So right before I leave to study in Israel, I'm in Fred Meyer (like Kmart) in Greenwood in Seattle looking at watches in the electronics department. I notice that the salesman is being very attentive to a customer right next to me so I look over and see Kim Thayill standing a foot away from me. I start listening to their conversation while pretending to stare intently at the pathetic selection of watches- I didn't want to seem like a groupie. The salesman is telling Kim that he likes their music but that they've lost the hard edge of their earlier stuff. I just can't allow this to pass uncorrected and say "Don't listen to him. Your albums are getting progressively better." or something like that and Kim says to both of us that (rough quote) "You can't be drunk and 22 forever. Our lead singer is married and things have changed..." So Kim goes on to buy a TV (I didn't stick around because I thought it would be uncool) and as I'm driving out of the parking lot I see his really old beat up van in front of me with 12 zillion rock stickers on it. I didn't chat for long, and probably sounded like an idiot, but it made my day. Should've asked him if he wanted to come over and smoke a bowl :-) Andreia ------------------------------ From: mm328995@minmet.uq.oz.au (John Grieves) Subject: Re: SG covers...

Well, there have been many, many suggestions for an opening act for Soundgarden. Some great ones!! It will be interesting to see if any of our bands are actually used. While you all know my personal favourite would be the Violent Femmes, I also suggested The Presidents of the United States of America. And it seems that this band just MIGHT be the one most suggested by we Soundgarden fans. For example, Chris Dawg wrote: >I also think The Presidents of the United States of America would be sweet to >open up for the crew. "Lump" is not the definitive POTUSOA song...plus, as >previously mentioned, Kim could play on their last song of the album, "Naked >and Famous." And while James (Russ?) Ingram wrote: > Having only heard "Lump" by the Presidents of the USA, I really >can't say. Based on that single, I don't really agree. In my opinion, >they're a little too..."popy". (I guess what I'm trying to say is, they >don't match in intensity) As much as I like the song "Lump", they don't >seem appropriate. I just have to disagree with you, James. I think BECAUSE of the fact that POTUSA is "poppy", less intense, etc., they'd make a good lead-up to Soundgarden. They're new, they're light, they're fresh, and they're nothing like our boys. This will mean that the crowd there won't be already "intensified out" by the time Soundgarden takes the stage - rather they'll be all ready and waiting for some good, heavy, rock. Oooo! Just thinking about being at a live Soundgarden gig gives me goosebumps.

OTOH, you could go with something lighter and more entertaining too keep >the folks awake while waiting for the main attraction. Yes, the point I was trying to make just now, Haakan. We need something different from Soundgarden as a support act. And yet something that will complement them. Provide a good contrast. POTUSA a good example. >.Skate-punkers Pennywise would be my choice.

A rumor has been going around lately that there will be some kind of new Soundgarden release on Nov. 21st- does anyone know if there is any truth to this at all?? I had heard that the album was to be called "Alive in the Superunknown" and would consist of both multimediam stuff and B-sides. But when I did some checking at a couple of different music stores they seemed to know nothing about it and had placed no orders for it. If anyone knows anything at all about it, please let me know. - - James ------------------------------ From: Aleko Subject: NoN Soundgarden beware Last Thursday i had the pleasure of seeing Hardware live (Australian band) but no one shared my enthusiasm. I ended up moshing by myself up the front. Are you willing to mosh by yourselfs if you like the band enough or does everyone chicken out? Personally i couln't care less i am going to enjoy myself as much as possible, although crowd surfing can be hard to do:) Ps Yes i did have a few drinks before "Happiness is not for us to find but for us to search for" ------------------------------ From: MickMuise@aol.com Subject: Re: Cool SG Reaction Hi everyone!! :) Ok....so after Greg Bensimon's "corny reaction" (as he calls it - I don't see it that way) to Jesus Christ Pose, he wanted to know: >>Anybody else ever had this kind of reaction to a song or album?<< Well I have to admit, I have had some releases of rage in my car.....and the sad thing is I drive a little shitbox Toyota that you literally COULD rip the steering wheel off of! JCP is a fave tune of mine, and definately is good for that!!! I also like Rusty Cage as well (the whole damn cd is good for it really....) also any misc. White Zombie or Rage Against the Machine tune. Spin the Black Circle and Lukin by Pearl Jam are also stereo crankers. Instead of labeling cds with "Adult Advisory" stickers, they should put little stickers on them like the ones you get on a bottle of pills from a pharmacy: "CAUTION: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery while under the influence of this cd!"
