I HAVE ONLY SOME ABOUT THE LIFE OF CORNELL, BUT OF THE OTHER MEMBERS I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION. I WANT SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR CHILHOOD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I'D BE VERY PLEASED. THANKS ERIKA. ------------------------------ From: DanaBT@aol.com Subject: Nowhere but You Just a comment... I was fortunate to find and purchase both "Fresh Deadly Rarities" and "Stolen Prayers" the other day.When I first heard "Nowhere but You", I thought it was the most depressing song that I had ever heard SG do. More down than "Mind Riot", especially because of the chord changes, a very eery feeling to it. Alas, when I read the actual lyrics on the web page, it seemed to be a semi-hopeful love song!! "When you were here, I thought that I would never miss you. When you were gone, I felt that I had never lived here." I realise that love can bring out the depressive side in anyone, but it was a complete shocker to me when I saw the lyrics,I didn't expect lyrics like this from them. Possibly because I didn't expect them to be so open about such a personal emotion as love. It just goes to show how talented they are in being able to contrast such lyrics against a background of dark, depressing music. Has anyone else who has heard this song care to elaborate on it? I loved this song!! "Flutter Girl" was also amazing to me. I have heard Alice Cooper's version of "Stolen Prayer" but it doesn't do justice to the song. I remember seeing Alice on "Headbanger's Ball" when he was promoting "The Last Temptation" and he even acknowledged Chris as being one of the two best rock vocalists today. According to him, Steven Tyler was the other one. ------------------------------ From: DanaBT@aol.com Subject: Musical idiot at work.... okay, flame away, but I need some help. My nephew asked me to print up some of the guitar tabs for SG as his Christmas gift. He has recently decided that SG is his favorite group and he wants some help on his ol' guitar. I looked over some of what I thought would be the "easy" songs, but I'm lost!! I can read music, usually, but what are some am I missing? Is there some new music language that I don't comprehend, or have I always been this stupid?! Yes, I know the general response to that question. For example,the intro to " Black Hole Sun" according to Daniel Ladle is: Intro E-----------------I -----------------I-----------------I ------------------I B-----------------I -----------------I-----------------I ------------------I G-------5--------I ---------5------I-------5---------I -------4---------I D-----5-----5----I------5----------I-----3-----3-----I-----2-----------I A---5---------5--I ---5------------I---3---------3---I---2-------------I D-5------------5-I -8--------------I-3-------------0-I -2------------0-I This makes no sense to me!!! I understand the strings and the tuning, but does that mean that each string is struck in the fifth fret in the first bar? Okay, I don't expect elementary guitar lessons, but I would like to be able to help my nephew decipher this. Thanks for your help.

David the home maker ------------------------------ From: SHROOMGRL1@aol.com Subject: Chris Cornell... naked? Heheheh... just wanted to get your attention. Quick question people... does anyone know what was up with Chris in "Louder Than Live" during the song "I Awake"? Why was he molesting that guy from the audience? And why was Jason Everman humping Chris at the end of the song? For a long time after watching that video, my friends and I had this theory that Chris was gay (or at least bi). He had married Susan because he wanted a cover up, and that's why they never had children. And maybe there was a little something more going on between Chris and Jason than just the music, but it went wrong... which was a reason that "Jason just did not work out". I realize now of course that our theory was totally ridiculous, but I've always wondered about that video. Anyone have an explanation? Were they just doing it for the shock value? I'm still kinda confused (which is not at all unusual for me). Suzie "Nameless horror we call love. I was only laughing... HA!
