For those of you who haven't heard these yet, they are off of tha Stolen Prayers CD (and Supermainstream, but Stolen Prayers is the one I own). Anyway, the lyrics in both songs are a bit different from the versions on Stolen Prayers. On the CD Unholy War is credited to Chris and Stolen Prayers is credited to both Alice and Chris. The coolest thing about this CD is that Chris sings backup vocals on the song Stolen Prayers. Alice does a fine job singing lead vocals on the song as well (admittedly, he's no Chris, but no one could expect him to sing that well). Anyway, I thought I'd let you people on the list know about this CD. Later, Kevin PS.

Suits me, FNM are one of the coolest bands ever to strap on a guitar. Also i'm glad to see so many of you like King for a Day....Fool for a Lifetime, I think its their best album, nearly every song is a classic, just seems the masses did'nt think so as it seemed to sink without a trace and the reviews (at least here in Blighty) were lukewarm to say the least. Evidence came out over here in the summer as a single and deserved to be in the top 10 throughout the amazingly hot summer we had this year, instead it got to about no35 and faded away, is there no justice??!! I saw them at Phoenix93 and they blew me away, Patton was off his head, in fact my only problem with them live is that he tends to prat about and sing some of the songs in silly voices, this was their last gig with big, sick, ugly Jim Martin and he was taking the piss out of him throughout the concert, Trey Spruance kicks Martin's ugly sick, ass on guitar anyway. The only connection with SG I can think of is that SG opened for G n'R in 92' and FNM went on second.

OK, it's true that it's got that carnival sound to it. But I think the=20 best covers come from a band rearranging someone else's song and totally=20 making it their own.

However I too will admit to having conversations with INXS. They were fine gentlemen who loved to debate music while getting shit faced drunk in our first class compartment. One of them, I don't remember his name, was telling me how miserable it was touring with PIL. He was describing how much of an ashole John Lydon was. I could have gone and asked John myself (he was in the next compartment) but I didn't want to be spat upon. Michael Hutchence graced us with his presence only when it was time for pictures. They invited us backstage at their NY show but I didn't go because I'm not really a big fan of theirs. Joan Jett was very cool on another flight I was working. She talked about her new movie at the time, the one with Michael J. Fox, I don't remember the name of it. She was sitting next to all these business men who kept giving her thesse dirty looks, especially when she fell asleep with her legs spread wide open. Aeosmith was probably my favorite though. My fellow flight attendant thought they were pompous rockstars but I thought they were cool, especially Steven Tyler and his wife. I asked him how it was with Guns and Roses opening and he said that they were pleasantly surprised. The guys from GNR weren't getting drunk every night and they actually enjoyed touring together. His wife was looking forward to sort of a second honeymoon ( they were on their way to Hawaii for a show) but didn't know how much time they'd have alone.

Even if you never intend to participate in this aspect of the mailing list, maybe another way we can get a grip on our 400+ members is to simply attach the city you live in after you sign your name to your post. I enjoy the posts about up-and-coming and unsigned bands, but if you live in New Zealand, well, this does me no good. Also, I assume if the somms mailing list T-shirt idea never comes together, we'll still all probably want to gather in our respective cities before any Soundgarden concerts that pass through our towns. I'm usually solo at SG shows and I like to get as close to our boys as possible. It would be nice to know who will be in the pit with me.

I mean, did you really think I was totally against firefighters or something? When a list subscriber mails a message, do you think it makes sense to take that message personally? How the fuck do I know who fights fires out there, it was just a joke. You need to lighten up, get out more, get some fresh air. I also think its funny how easy it gets for someone to shoot their mouth and start hurtling insults at someone when they're halfway across the country. Its easy to sit their in your comfy little desk chair and say something like that, but I'm damn sure you wouldn't be saying it if you were sitting here next to me. And besides, what makes you such a fucking expert, have you seen "Backdraft" one too many times or something?

But I should restate myself here.. It's not just the slowness of the song, but Nights has a certain feel to it. I would just like to see Chris push the envelope a little on mood. Now don't get ugly out there I know Chris has the mood but not the "Bitch" or "Black Days" type of mood. And no I don't want to see him do a "Smile be Happy" piece of junk. Just a little feeling with out the dark end of it. So, I'm a romantic - big deal..... And to Lee - I have never though about Nights done in hard rock - I have seen it performed live and I have heard it performed with an orchestra - but never hard-core - your right it could be very interesting.

I'm stuck out here in Nova Scotia, and the only notable bands that we've gotten here are Weird Al (great Gig), Green Day (puke), and D.O.A. (for those Heavy Metal people).

Somms quotes...... Okay, here is what I've been promising our Assistant Sound Gardener (& others) for a while now: the following might be some interesting reading for all Somms members. [Now don't forget I said "might"!!] :-) It's a list of exerpts from past Somms postings. Yes, I actually kept some of the letters to the Somms list, and have just now reread them & picked out parts that took my fancy. Hope you enjoy reading them! They go back almost to the start of the list, so many of you won't have read these before. ************************************************* Daniel Ladle: Dear Vikki, I'll be there too, maybe I'll see you. What will you be wearing if it isn't too early to ask that sort of thing?? I shall have my luminous Soundgarden Superunknown T-shirt on, and my girl friend on my arm. See you soon possibly Dan Kate Mercier: As soon as you define a fan, you limit them. Dan Ladle: If you ever get a life threatening disease then make sure you see Soundgarden before you die. Blind Dog: Let me drown is about crawling back into the womb to die. Did Chris write this after hearing Nirvana's In Utero? :) Jackhammer: >Don't worry about it - it's only music! Like what you want to like! >Give it some thought! To which Clown replied: <==you forgot to add "unless it's country"==:) Amen Jamie: I got my first rock n' roll album at age 12 and God willing I'll get my last when I'm 112!!!!!!!!!! BTW: No matter how bad ass Ben is - I still think he is the best - and such a young bad ass... MoonDruid: ....that fateful summer of '94. It wasn't that I got my first kiss, or that a beautiful girl moved in next door that I remember the most (neither are true)...I remember Black Hole Sun. "Black hole sun, won't you come..." BackDoorMan: Blind Dog, you are definitely the man with the plan. I think that when God retires you'll take His place. Clown: When people say sellout I think they mean someone who writes an intentionaly "catchy" song. In other chris and co. are in the studio and chris says "Hey guys lets write a repetitive song where we say the same thing about 8 thousand times." and Kim would say "alright cut out 3/4 of the lyrics to bhs, just have 2 short verses and I'll do a bunch of silly unoriginal guitar posturing in the middle." Ben would say "I'll pick my bass of the floor and just wear my underpants like that flea fellow" then matt would say "we'll all smile during the song, and Kim, don't emminate any of that angry darkness from your guitar" In my opinion that would be selling out, doing appearances on letterman and shit, intentionally going out and making a song that will catch on instantly. Jamie: I have always felt that if you couldn't spell it was a sign of intelligence - - yes the village idiot speaks again. David (9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au): The way I see it, if someone copies your favourite group, it just means you now have two groups making music you can kick to. My opinion: if you like someone's music, buy it, listen to it, and laugh insanely at anyone who tells you otherwise. Little Joe: Just look at the Australian top ten. 9 out of 10 weeks every song is dance music, and if it's not, it's Janet Jackson or a hair farm like Bon Jovi. Chris Mackenzie: I am jealous of Australia. Daniel Ladle: Finally thank you all, I did say the other week that you had all inspired me and last night I finished my first ever song about my hampster which escaped a few weeks ago and got into the wall cavity of our house (don't worry she got out again after we had a brick removed from one of our downstairs walls). The song is called CAVITY and if you ever see it on a CD then check the names of the band members, and tell your friends that "he couldn't have done it without us." Joseph A. Burnett: Soundgarden has influences from Led Zeppelin, so, they're a bunch Led Zeppelin wanna-bes, right? and Led Zeppelin was influenced by someone, so Led Zeppelin is a bunch of ripoffs, right? and that guy was probably influenced by classical musicians, and they were influenced by the Romans, who were influenced by two cavemen banging a rock together a billion years ago......so if any of you fools want to find an original band, then become archaeologists or something. Cause everybody got their ideas from someone. DanaBT@aol.com: Last summer I took my 40 year old brother to the first concert he had been to since seeing Peter Frampton headline a Bill Graham's Day on the Green in the summer of 1975. You guessed it, Soundgarden. He's now a total fan. "Jesus Christ Pose" is his favorite and he thinks Chris Cornell is definitely the best vocalist in rock. Now he has something to really share with his 16 year old son. Even his diehard-Neil-Diamond loving wife walks around the house singing "I'm so ugly, that's okay 'cause so are you". She still can't deal with Soundgarden. The moral of this very long story is don't join them, beat them!! Moon Druid: However, I got a few flames from people that never post to the mailing list. Let's put it this way, I have the guts to speak my mind, step out from behind my keyboard, and talk about Soundgarden. If you plan on flaming in the future, at least talk on the mailing list. You'll make more friends that way, and you'll keep your faces from getting smashed in the next time we see you. Jackhammer: OK - Such a cartoon produced by one Jackhammer would be called SuperLouderMotorFopp and would be about a high school dropout fronting a band including a psychology graduate who recruit a bass player and drummer to start up a detective agency. But this is no ordinary detective agency: these guys have street cred and no-one picks them for the detectives they are, whilst producing incredible music as a brilliant cover! With plenty of musical interludes (eg. car chasing scenes to the tune of Rusty Cage) and Jesus Christ Pose in the background as they solve another mystery, this show would become a hit! Don't mind me! I'm sane! Scott J. Schmidt: I guess the ambiguity is a sign of great lyric writing - I'm sure it's a hell of a lot harder to write a song that extremely different people can relate to equally well. But that's what great musical artists do - they transcend boundaries. And SG, aside from being musically unmatched (IMHO), have that transcendent quality too. And that's why I love 'em. Jamie: Does this have anything to do with anything - Hell no - and I don't care, I can't sleep and shit happens. Scott J. Schmidt: I'm going to try to describe this - maybe someone will know what I mean. SG's music has a kind of "landscape" of its own. I don't really know how else to describe it. Some music is incredibly flat, but SG's music - I don't know if it just stimulates more neurons or what - has an atmosphere that sets it apart. It's like the difference between B/W and color movies or something. It just hits the right synapses, I guess. Scratches an itch my brain didn't know it had. And, no, I'm not high. Also, listening to SG is a more active thing than listening to, say, Hootie & the Blowfish (no disrespect). The musical arrangements and lyrics are a lot more challenging. I think that's why they scare away so many top-40 types. It takes some effort to listen to em (at least at first). But once you're there, there's no going back. Michael T. Daul: I like soundgarden basically for the emotion of their music. When I'm in a mood in a serious way, be it sad, happy or whatever, SG seems to help explode that emotion into some bigger ride, or something. They are just so great to chill to. My favorite tune is Fell on Black Days - I love both the musicallity and the lyricallity of it. Chris Cornell's voice could not have found a better song to sing. Joe Burnett: come on, i wanna see some action out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're all a bunch of slaves (and bulldozers)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how many of you people are alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kate Mercier: I have it on reasonably good authority that Courtney IS evil incarnate... and that something smells where she dwells. Dan Hearsch: I agree in part with the last part of your statement concerning soundgarden's appeal, but I also think that while they're taking the art seriously, they're not taking themselves seriously. I think that gives them two advantages. First, they don't rest on their laurels and celebrate what great musicians and people they are, and second, their music lacks a lot of pretentiousness that some bands seem to broadcast. I also think that lyrically, they are the best band to come out in a long time. Their lyrics hold a lot of ambiguity so that they mean many different things to different people, but almost everyone can take them in his/her own context, but they aren't so ambiguous as to be waffly. Daniel Garrett: You wanted ONE reason why we like SG?? My reason is that the music is just so MYSTERIOUS!!! Moon Druid: Soundgarden did a little of that, however they added to their sound rather than deminish it. In the eyes of many, Superunknown is NOT typical Soundgarden. In the eyes of many, there is no such thing as typical Soundgarden. David (9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au): .....On the 13th of October, 1958, at 2.35 in the afternoon, not a single person in the world spoke a word for ten whole seconds. This is an untruth. Clown: I am going to go in my room and hide now. These are definitely black days right now and I don't want to be outside. Clown In Seclusion David (9304458s@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au): The reason I Like (note the capital L) Soundgarden is that they KICK ARSE! Not just normal arse...I mean those big, flabby, bus-seat filling kind. They kick them into orbit. That is it in a nutshell, but I could fill your screen with reasons. Powerful, emotive songs, intelligent lyrics (I bet if any English Lit lecturer read SG's lyrics, they would think it was a postmodern masterpiece: irony, contrast, symbolism and all that)... Glenn: If Jeff is dead, I'll eat Clown's Bazooka... :)> Alex: Sometimes it's hard to tell if a band is good at doing their thing, even if you don't like their "thing" :) Jamie: Yes, this is not a Soundgarden item, but hey, until the new CD comes out or they start touring you got to talk about something. I don't know about the rest of you - but having turkey five days after Thanksgiving is very bad - so is rehashing fab song on SG for five days. Seth: 400 mailing list subscribers 100 days since the list was created and still going strong 10000 web page hits since the counter was installed Matthew: Anyway, for most of the night I was a one man boogie machine, strutting my moves for the idle onlookers. Jamie: Damn, My Frantic Carolyn, you telling me we miss another party with drunken dancing men!!!!! From now on I keep the party dates... Dancing for the Dark Man only... Mick Muise: For the person wondering how to get backstage passes: GEEZE!!! Don't you watch tv!?! Just grab a pack of Mentos, pop one in your mouth, put on a bandanna, grab a piece of equipment, and the security guard will just let you walk on by....'cause you're a FRESHMAKER!!! Matthew: Is it just me or are fire engines just a little bit played out? I can't even begin to count how many times a day I deal with fire engines. The hydrant on the other hand gets little recognition. Don't you all thinks it's about time homage was payed to the lowly fire hydrant. So stop whatever you are doing and give three cheers for the fire hydrant, the key player in the continual fight against that dastardly little menace known as fire. And the next time you are walking down your street and you spot a fiesty little canine about to sling his leg over a hydrant for little territorial marking/relief, give it a little nudge and say: "Hey Rover, how about using a tree today", you will be glad you did.

He is a friend of Cameron Crowe's. He has also appeared in Crowe's FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH and SAY ANYTHING. In the latter he played the guy who had the party every year and dressed like a chicken. In both SINGLES and SAY ANYTHING he was unbilled. ------------------------------ From: "Chad Harrison" Subject: Monster Magnet & SG {Note: Hopefully I don't violate any protocol; this is my first post...} I think Monster Magnet would be the perfect opener for Soundgarden. Both bands are fabulous musically and have a similar sound (to me, Monster Magnet is like Soundgarden on acid). I wasn't aware of the "friendship" between the two bands, but I'm glad they seem to get along. Monster Magnet is slowly inching up to Soundgarden as my favorite band (until the next Soundgarden release, of course...), and to see them play together would be awesome. As far as Monster Magnet being "too big" to open for Soundgarden, I don't think they are. I would have thought so, too, until I realized that Monster Magnet OPENED for Corrosion of Conformity this summer and is currently opening for Korn in the midwest. I hadn't even heard of Korn until I heard of this tour with Monster Magnet. In fact, I'm going to the show this weekend in Columbus, Ohio; hopefully Monster Magnet will play a fairly long set with some older stuff. Anyway, sorry to get long-winded, but I really think Soundgarden/Monster Magnet would be a jewel show. If anyone else likes Monster Magnet and knows of any related information, let me know. Hopefully, I haven't pissed anyone off yet. Thanks.

This may answer your question: Ian Moore sings a song called "Muddy Jesus" off his 2nd album called Modernday Folklore. In the refrain he sings "Jesus crossed the Rio Grande". I'm not sure if it's the song you're talking about. That was weird for me to see your question because Ian is from Austin and he's one of my favorites. He's getting more and more exposure (he was on Rockline and is on the Hempilation soundtrack, etc.). If you want any more information on him, I know a lot. In fact I was an extra in his video for "Barline 99". They shot the video on 11-2 and 11-6 and it should be out in a few weeks, but I don't think it will ever make it to MTV.
