Nothingman, I have to say that your little tale of discovery is very much like my own - I too bought Superunknown, listened to and thought "what a load of bollocks - the songs all sond the same!" But then, after a month or so I decided (being a frugal soul) that I did not want to waste my money and that I would listen to this album and like it (even if I didn't) and lo! I did and found it much to my liking. I hope this little tale has enriched your lives... - - Andy Sharp - ------------------------------ From: cs95ajs@brunel.ac.uk Subject: SP are good some of the time I know this is non-SG but who cares!, SP are good in parts and boring in others - Today and Cherub Rock are brilliant as is much of Siamese Dream but on the the other hand much of the stuff on Menancholly (yes - I know it's spelt wrong) and the infinite sadness is simply boring as hell. Back to SG - does anyone know where to get SG material in the UK other than Superunknown and BMF - I'm trying to find stuff but can't, also is anyone over here in the fan club, I saw something on the Superunknown album cover about joining but it said send $2 to an address - I guessed this was for America only ... info would be greatly appreciated! Cheers! - - Andy Sharp - ------------------------------ From: jgrotelu@herbie.unl.edu (grote) Subject: glenn & grote vs. the world... i'm gonna have to side with glenn, my long-time musical amigo, on the billy corgan issue. (i have to voice my support for glenn...he's the only one who gave me a chance in my proposed fistfight with matt cameron...:) billy corgan and his band of pumpkins are one of the more overrated bands on the modern music scene. if i had the time, i would illustrate this point with one of my notorious 34-page talent breakdowns, but lucky for all of you, i'll keep it (relatively) short. chamberlain is a good drummer, i'll give sp that much. not great, mind you, but he's got really solid chops and he uses his cymbals to fill space with precision. iha and d'arcy...let's be honest, folks...these two don't even play on the majority of sp's recorded work. corgan is the man in the studio, and reading any interviews with any of the band's members will prove this. live, they are adequate at best, so i consider them non-entities in the sp sound. billy corgan. he IS the sp sound. i will agree with previous posts that corgan has an excellent ear for multi-track guitar layering, because some sp tracks have some very interesting things going on. corgan seems to have a bob mould-ish ear for production, which is a-ok by me. as a musician, however, corgan is hardly the superstar he's made out to be. sorry, folks, but i've been playing guitar for only about three years now (other instruments in bands for about twelve) and i can play the primary melody line/chord progression of every sp song that i've ever heard. they use a lot of 5th chords (easy, three string punkish chords) in their songs but the layering and octave effects make them sound more complicated than they really are. as a singer, corgan makes me ill. his voice is forced and uncomfortable to listen to. some people like this style...i am not one of them. as a songwriter, corgan is so-so. again, he does a decent job with multiple-part arrangements of songs, but most of his structures are simply super-produced punk songs. not a bad thing, mind you, but hardly cutting edge or revolutionary. to toss soundgarden into the discussion (i understand that's a pretty popular topic here :) ), i'll be the first to admit that a lot of soundgarden songs reflect this sort of style as well. tunes like outshined, kickstand, even spoonman use relatively simple chords layered to perfection. it's soundgarden's ability to combine this style with more complex arrangements (limo wreck, loud love, slaves and bulldozers, head down) that sets them apart from the crowd... enough from me... later... - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

Is that all or is TO>there more? On the stairs (after the second time you click to go down), you can turn around (you can turn around anywhere on the stairs), and there is a big bike crank. That's Kickstand live. There's also a wave in the sky, and that's the My Wave video. Near the wave, there's a little dot, click on that and you see the Badmotorfinger logo swirl around. Then, before the Superunknown, you'll see a big square thingy in the sky (you have to turn around on the stairs), and that's the pong game. Did you know that when you watch the videos, you can click outside the video part, and you see the words. But then you can't make the video full screen size. Also, when you watch the picture part, you can click on a picture and it will come in close. TO>Oh, i found the thing with them talking, too. Is there any way TO>to control the volume?

He used to be a Catholic. He went to catholic school until he was 15, then his mother took him and his sister out before they got kicked out. He said he asked to many questions that they couldn't answer. He also said he doesn't like organized religion, but he never clarified exactly what he believes. JS>christian : "say hello to heaven" .. his friend's going to heaven he JS>says, so does that mean he believes in christian theory? When someone close to you dies, it's always nice to think that they're going to a better place, and Hell isn't too great, so I hear. JS>devil: "holy water" .. holy water is rusting him .. is he saying he JS>believes in the devil? Well, if you believe in God, you kinda have to believe in the devil. Maybe he's just saying that he's been sinning, and if that were the case, the holy water would probably rust him (metaphorically speaking). Maybe he's saying that it's a bad thing that he's sinning and he's regretting it. Just an idea... JS>atheist: "hand of god" .. says "the hand of god lays on your money," JS>thus claiming christianity is nothing more than a corporation. This probably shows his frustration with organized religion (especially TV evangelists). I think Wooden Jesus is about the same thing. "Wooden Jesus, can I be saved, I spent all my money on a future grave." Maybe he's saying that he sent his money to the guy on TV, who promised that he'd be saved, saying that he'd go to Heaven when he dies (future grave). Just another idea... JS> it could go either way..i don't want to pass judgement on his belifs JS>based on his lyrics, and no, i do not believe that he is one or the JS>other .. i'm just posing a question to see what other people think.

Some fat people that have lost weight think of Richard Simmons as their saviour, and so on. He's just saying that whatever you believe is ok, just don't make me try to believe it.

I never noticed those four trees until you pointed them out. What do you think is in that big black area that they are protruding from? A park of some sort maybe? That "godzilla" as you call it is really something isn't it. It almost looks like it was formed from the sky-scrapers with all of the lights and everything. Does anyone know the name of SG's new album yet? I the letter I got from the fan club, it said that it was supposed to be released in early spring. But I guess you guys have the low down and if it's coming in June, I guess I'll have to wait a little longer. Thanks to anyone who responded to "Concert info." my previous letter. I'll probably be going to Lollapalooza no matter what and it would be kick ass if Soundgarden showed up. Am I the only drummer who idles Matt? He has the most outrageous beats that I've ever heard.
