Tim Smith ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Soundgarden Survey TS>Hey Soundgarden fans! Soundgarden fans!? Where!? Wait'll I get my hands on those silly varmits! I'll tear the...oh, wait...nevermind... TS>2 Favorite Albums: That's a toughy. I guess it depends on what day you ask me. As for today, I'd have to say Louder Than Love and Badmotorfinger. Superunknown takes one of those positions sometimes, though. TS>2 Favorite Songs: Another toughy. I really like Fell on Black Days (the video version is my favorite version) and Drawing Flies has the greatest guitar riff. Loud Love and Little Joe are great too. I'm sorry, I'm not good at making decisions. TS>Favorite Band Member: I guess I would have to say Chris Cornell since he is my idol and all. It's the fork. I finally read those interviews with Chris and Kim on Spinonline and MTVonline, and they have the greatest sense of humor. And for a name like Kim, he has a bitchin' beard. TS>Rating of CD+-(with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest) 10, just because it has the video of Fell On Black Days. That has to be my favorite video. The Superunknown is pretty cool too. It's Soundgarden, it has to get a 10. TS>2 Songs that don't make your fancy: I'm assuming you mean Soundgarden songs, since this is a Soundgarden list and everything. I guess Holy Water and Face Pollution. TS>Do you think Soundgarden should do an Unplugged performance? I'm not sure if they'd have enough to do a whole performance, but I'll bet Chris has some more acoustic songs up his sleeves. I'll bet Fourth of July and fell On Black Days would make good unplugged songs. And how about Jesus Christ Pose? :) TS>and finally...... TS>What other bands would you say sound like Soundgarden? Well, There are a couple Candlebox songs (Don't You, especially). They have similar guitars. I was playing Don't You one day, and someone said, "that's Soundgarden." I told him what it was, and then I played Spoonman (they have the same chords) and he realized his mistake. Not that the singers sound anything alike (Chris blows Kevin away, but I'm sure you knew that) just the guitars and some drums. Some of my friends mistake STP for Soundgarden, but I don't think they sound too much alike. Again, some of the guitars are similar, but nothing else. Also, Soundgarden (Chris especially) sounds so much like the Beatles on She Likes Surprises. When I played it for my mom, she even thought so. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I got ta say about that." Nothingman -Little Joe run for the boarder, leave your home, leave your mother and father. ------------------------------ From: "Mercyhurst Prep Library" Subject: back again! Hi, fellow Sgarden fans! Hey, is anyone out there reading that Sgarden "biography" by Chris Nickson? I know someone had asked about it right before we all got disconnected. I have yet to start on my copy, but the friend I bought a copy for for Xmas is just about livid. Obviously the guy is British b/c the book is dry and boring. Then it seems it's pretty apparent he didin't bother to talk to the band at all--it's all crap from the press, and the Brit press to boot. YUCK! :( Any other comments on it would be welcome! I have a topic for discussion. Has anyone else noticed how the Brit press rags on Sgarden? Always showing them in as bad a light as possible? I do think it's true that sometimes an interviewer can piss them off--I'd act the same way in such an instance--but some Brit arties don't even have an interview to back them! What's anyone else's thoughts on this phenomena? Anyone else notice it? And hey, folks--we all got the same instructions: UNSUBSCRIBE TO SETH DIRECTLY AT HIS (HIS) EMAIL ADDIE! THANKS! I HATE FINDING MY NEW MAIL CLOGGED W/ UNSUBSCRIBES!!!!

Not really I think that would just piss Kim and Ben off. Kim would have no distortion and ben would have to sit down and be still. >and finally...... >What other bands would you say sound like Soundgarden? I think that Kings X has some Soundgardenish elements, but they have been around longer. They are similarities but they are not really alike. I also think alot of rollins band stuff sounds similar to gun. >If you guys and girls could fill this out and return it to the list >or to me at: >tsmith@oak.lakefieldcs.lakefield.on.ca >Thanks!!
