If you didnt you really should join the fanclub and get on the mailing list. Well the card is really cool. Last time they sent a christmas card before a release (ie Superunknown) It contained a preview of the new albums artwork. That christmas card had the picture of the blurred, screaming face with the inverted trees at the bottom. In the middle it had the text 'superholidays'. Neat! This card is a picture of a fictional city landscape. It resembles the skyline to seattle but it's different. The city appears to be on two different tiers. The right side of the picture, which contains the 'heart' of the 'scape, appears to be on a hill because it's elevated. The left side contains smaller buildings in the distance and it's lower than the right side. Both of these appear very real. The center contains my fave image of the entire work. It's a shot of a major arterial running through the middle of the city. There are 4 lanes. Two inbound and Two outbound in alternating patterns. inbound, outbound, inbound, outbound (from right to left). The inbound lane contains a red blur of the cars tail lights. That red glow stretches all along the arterial. Then there is the blurred image of white lights from the cars headlights coming out of the 'scape. This also transverses all along the arterial. So what you have is a blurred light sequence alternating red, white, red, white. Very, very cool! It appears to be the image of electricity running through a conduit. The electricity being the lifeline of the city. (ie the people) On the arterial you can even make out those green highway signs. You cant read them...but you can see em. The rightmost inbound lane contains 4 pine trees at the beginning of the view. Could these 4 trees symbolize the 4 members of SG? I think so. The only thing that appears fake in the center shot is the light posts. They appear to be drawn in. They are projecting light onto the arterial, but the tops of the post are dark. Next time I hope the designer remembers to make em lighter and draw more of em. It's nighttime, there are stars (or white dots) in the sky. There appears to be a dence fog rolling in from the west (or ocean). And their are 3 objects in the night sky. A fake starfish shape behind the main buildings on the right. a 'ying-yang' type symbol in the middle. It could be an S to signify Soundgarden. Then on the left is a Giant 'spoke-like' ship. It appears to be 'rolling' or moving toward the center arterial. Could it be that it's planning to cut the conduit of the city? I've seen the artwork for the spokes of the ship before. I think? It was shown on the backdrops to the last concert tour. The artwork looks like a F shapped pick. Or think of two F's back to back. The whole spoke ship thing reminds me of Godzilla destroying the city of Toyko in those classic b movies of the 50's and 60's. Now there is a song that Soundgarden would sound great covering. A cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla"! Take a listen to BOC's live versions on _some enchanted evening_ or _ETI Live_. Good stuff. This whole image is centered on an approximate 6" by 4" postcard. White a white border appearing on the top and bottom. Sort of letterboxing the whole image. The top border contains the words (in script) "Season's Greetings" and the bottom text uses the superunknown font to say "Soundgarden" comments? steve - - swr@acsu.buffalo.edu - - http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~swr ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Soundgarden From: seth > You should give me a few copies. :) Or at least tell me where I can > get it.

Songs I don't care for: I awake, Head Down, Spoonman, a few on ultramegaok. Unplugged?: I agree w/ Brian(?). Soundgarden,no. But Chris Cornell would be wonderful. Nothing against the band (I love them) but unplugged is the last thing I want to hear them do. However,I think I would die of joy if Temple of the Dog could do unplugged Other Bands that Sound Like Soundgarden: GRUNTRUCK! definitely the vocals and some of the music but they're missing something. I don't know. My friend Jon always teases me and says "what's this Judas Priest shit?" when he hears soundgarden. I'm failing to see the similarity.

KT> The brit press screws with just about every successful American KT>band don't sweat it. We know they rock and thats all that matters. Just KT>stay dedicated to the music. The reason I got into Soundgarden a few years ago was because of Rolling Stone magazine. I know it's not British, but I'm saying it anyway, so LISTEN! Anyway, I read a reveiw of their next album (Superunknown, it was their next album then, anyway) and something just drew me to it. I rushed to the store (after it came out, of course) and bought the Superunknown tape (I didn't have a CD player. I'm poor, ok?). I listened to it once and I didn't like it a whole lot. Then a while later (a couple weeks) I listened to it again and I loved it. So I bought Louder Than Love (still tape, I was workin' on the CD player thing) and it was cool. But I didn't like it as much as Superunknown, but now I like it a whole lot more than I did then. I think it's close to the top on my best album list. Then I bought all the rest of their albums (CDs, of course...except Ultramega OK, but I was poor then too. Soundgarden on tape is better than no Soundgarden at all). It took a while to get used to each album, but after a few listens, I loved every album. now I have a hard time picking my favorite (right now it would have to be Louder Than Love, of course I'm listening to Badmotorfinger). Anyway, the moral of the story is: If there's a piece of cheese on the floor, and the nutcracker is in the car, don't hesitate to look in the fridge for more beer.

No. I can't agree here. I read an interview about his guitar playing, and he said he's confident about it, and he knows he's pretty good, but he knows he could be a lot better. He said it different, though, and it sounded much more...what's the word...unarrogant...you know... he is a hell of a guitar player though.

If you listen to Smashing Pumpkins (the harder stuff, and ignore the singer) and then listen to White Zombie (mostly stuff off la Sexorcisto, and again ignore the singer) the guitars and drums sound a lot alike.

Was this guy a quick fill in between Hiro and Ben or what? Anyway, onto the CD. There are 8 tracks, namely: Beyond the Wheel Get on the Snake Hunted Down I awake Gun Big Dumb Sex Big Bottom Earache My Eye It is 38:19 in length, and a recording of a concert somewhere. The only location listed anywhere is on the cd itself which says it was made in Italy. The last two tracks are absolutely wicked. I was wondering if these tracks are on any other cd worth buying? Also, the pictures of Chris and gang are really old (Chris looks really, really young). Well thanks to anyone who read this, and answered my question. Greg P.S.

I think a quick fill in is exactly what he was. If you've ever seen the videos for hands all over or loud love he is in both. I also have a bootleg call nosebleed which he is on the cover of w/ the band. If his bass performance on that set is any indication of his overall capabilities, SG did well to replace him (he sucked) Curt On Wed, 10 Jan 1996, Greg Fox wrote: > Anyone ever heard of Jason Everman before? > > I got this really wicked import of SG called Fortissimo, and Jason Everman > is listed as the bassist.

Does anyone have a copy of the Peppermint EP that they might want to send me a tape of? If you do, you must tell me!!!! To the person who said that they liked the "weird guitar part" in the photo space jam. That was so awesome, I agree totally. I read some of the old messages that are on the page and I saw the argument about po/not pop and I think that anythig that people tend to enjoy listening to and has a moderate sized audience is pop in the literal sense. The term "Pop" connotes sell-outs to me and that is not Soundgarden but they are technically "Pop" but they are spiritually Indie. The only reason for a major label is to provide large scale distrubution and without that, many total Soundgarden fans may have never even discovered them. okay that's enough.

It doesn't sound like many people have it, but I guess we'll find out if anyone answers. I have heard someone else on the list mention it. Anyway, it has an awesome remix of Spooman which contains all kinds of samples including the opening riff of Rusty Cage, FOPP, Spoonman, and begins with over one minute of Artis. The other song IS the Original Demo Version of Birth Ritual.

The song that will probaly be on it will be Kristen (which they played at the Reading festival) about an abusive relationship. It benfits a worthy cause to bring women home alive late at night after the death of Mia Zapata(did i spell that right?). Anyway it will also have a song from (gasp) Pearl Jam so check it out. sean (wanted to break the new first (hahha)) ------------------------------ Subject: the member directory From: seth Some of you may remember a little idea I had: the Soundgarden Mailing List Member Directory, a Web page devoted to us, in order that we all get to know each other better, since this mailing list is -- when you think about it -- the closest thing to an oniline fan club that Soundgarden has. The page should have photos of everyone, and descriptions, etc., so you can check them out and then if you see someone at a show, you can say hello or whatever. Like one big dysfunctional family. The good news is that I've gotten my lazy ass in gear and scanned the photos of those of you who have sent them to me -- at this point, there are only 9 pictures in the directory. I know many of you have submitted personal descriptions, and I promise, I'll get to those soon. For now, the Member Directory is at http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/list - -- which is not linked to the rest of the Unofficial SG Page. Please take a look, submit descriptions, send me pictures, etc., and remember, I'm not letting this idea die no matter how much you ignore me, so you might as well participate. seth (listadmin) ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Tuesday, 9 Jan 1995 JP>Well, right at this moment Black Crowes are blasting on my walkman...

GF>I got this really wicked import of SG called Fortissimo, and Jason Everman GF>is listed as the bassist. Was this guy a quick fill in between Hiro and GF>Ben or what? Jason Everman played with Nirvana for a while, then went to Soundgarden after Hiro left. He was asked to leave by the band because he didn't fit in. Chris said he was like a typical rock star. he loved the spotlight and totally clashed with the rest of the band. They had known Ben from something before, so they asked him to be their new bass player. I have Louder Love, which was released sometime after Loud Love (duh) and Jason played on this.

JY> Give him his own band and I might like it (but I don't like JY> hater so I guess I wouldn't). Matt wrote Drawing Flies. It does kick ass though. I've noticed that generally, when Kim writes a song, it's pretty heavy and guitar laden (hey, he's a guitar player. I'd do it too). And when Hiro was in the band, his were pretty heavy too. Chris writes all kinds f stuff, so I'm not even gonna start on his, but his heavier ones sound similar (style wise) to Kim's. Matt seems to be pretty diverse, for a drummer (no offense to drummers, but they don't usually write too many songs), too. I think it's pretty cool that Chris playes guitar and drums, and Matt does too. It's just great that they can all share what they think about they different instruments. That's probably one reason they do so well together as a band. Well, back to the styles. Ben's songs are usually slow and drudgy (is that a word?). Either that or it's Half. JY>>.

Hey Nothingman, what do you mean about Primus having a "real" singer?! I couldn't imagine a more appropriate voice than Les's when yodeling along to some of their songs! The voice may not be outstanding, but the voice fits the group and the attitude. Just like Soundgarden. Could you imagine someone else singing their songs??? How about Billy Corgan whining away on "Fell On black Days" or Courtney Love screeching to "Slaves and Bulldozers"?! I'm in no way comparing Les Claypool's vocals to Chris's, there is no comparison. I'm just saying that alot of people relate the group to the singer and to his or her sound.
