Re: Soundgarden Survey the last word. Religion and Chris ------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Dan \"Pop-tart\" Hearsch" Subject: Re: glenn & grote vs. the world... sp as a whole may or may not be a good band, but billy corgan is a flaming asshole, childish and pompous, and as a singer, he sucks. i find bobcat goldthwaits voice more soothing when i have a hangover ------------------------------ From: "Dan \"Pop-tart\" Hearsch" Subject: chris' religion just a point about the holy water thing. (please excse the typing, i am inebriated) that aside, the rusting thing doesn't strike me as a devil thing, but more as a disillusionment with organized religion, something he has expressed outside of his musical and lyrical expressions. holy water rusting me implies not that it damages him immediately, but wears away, slowly, subtley, kind of creeps up on him, so that by the time he notices, it's almost too late. just a different view, but one that grabbed me very strongly after i read the posts ------------------------------ From: ssmith@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Tuesday, 9 Jan 1995 TO>> TO>> TO>> greatest. And no matter what anyone says, the 80s still rule. TO>> TO>> TO>Yeah! there was more to 80's metal than spandex! TO>> TO>> Yeah, they also had big hair. TO>> TO>And a clean crisp sound that no one seems to have today... TO>> And really tight pants that no one seems to have today. :) TO>And they all had to rock.... I know. It's just sad that people hate them for the spandex and hair and pants. TO>> TO>> TO>> Lennox had that cool boo boo boo boo aahh-ah song (ok, so she st TO>> TO>> TO>> it was still cool). TO>> TO>> TO>Annie Lennox scares me. Me. He Who Walks Between. Gunpoint does TO>> TO>> TO>scare me. Dark alleys don't scare me. Annie Lennox scares me. TO>> TO>> It's her hair in that video. It has to be. TO>> TO>Maybe that's it. Or maybe it's her music. TO>> Ok, you're right. It's the music. I was wondering why everyone turned TO>> white whenever that song came on. TO>Which song? Whiter shade of pale? Or walking on broken glass? I HATE that broken glass song. It annoys the hell outta me. AAHHH!!! IT'S IN MY HEAD!!! TO>> TO>> TO>> I also own To the Extreme by Vanilla Ice. TO>> TO>> TO>Uh....you actually admit that? Well, you said you own it, you did TO>> TO>> TO>you listened to it.... TO>> TO>> To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandle, light up the stage and wax TO>> TO>> chump like a candle... TO>> TO>I guess that answers my question. Are you gonna burst into "Stop this TO>> TO>train" next? Or maybe "play that funky music"? TO>> Go white boy, go white boy, go! TO>Is that a racial slur? Ummmm....only if Vanilla Ice is a racist. No, wait... TO>> TO>> TO>> I guess I'm not an average Soundgarden fan either. TO>> TO>> TO>Is there such a thing? Couldn't we file this under the typical TO>> TO>> TO>soundgarden sound question?

You know...the ones who don't know w TO>> TO>> Andrew Wood is, and worship Kurt Cobain. TO>> TO>Oh, i thought that was the average Pearl Jam fan. My fault. TO>> Well, when I heard that Soundgarden was going to be the next Pearl Jam, TO>> I got off the Pearl Jam bandwagon and jumped right on the Soundgarden TO>> one. ;) TO>Well, the next Pearl Jam is Bush..... Well, then my new favorite band is Bush. ;) TO>> I don't get it... TO>Go to New York to 42nd street with a little money and your problem will TO>be solved. I could go to a near-by town and get paid for something like that. Yes, they are that ugly... TO>> TO>"Can i be like my god am?" TO>> Depends...who's your god? TO>Me. -j Well then, I hope so. TO>The darkness always sticks to your mouth like peanut butter on the brain. I thought it was "the nothing song sticks to your mouth like peanut butter on the brain." That's my favorite song. :) Nothingman -Sa-am, I am, I am, I said I don't want green eggs and ham... ------------------------------ From: ssmith@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Thursday, 11 Jan 1995 JV>If you want to hear a singer who is superior to all others, why don't you JV>listen to Mike Patton of Faith No More and Mr. Bungle. His talent is JV>unmatched. Soundgarden is one of my favorites, but I am sorry to say that I JV>don't believe that they are as good as Faith No More. Remember, that is jus JV>my opinion. I'm sorry if you disagree. Bye. Woah! Mr. Bungle? Some of those lyrics are pretty funny, but most of 'em suck. And the guy sounds like he's got a clothespin on his nose, like Billy Corgan, just a bit more annoying. I know Faith No More has some pretty good lyrics, and the guys voice is a bit less annoying, but I guess you're sorry that I disagree, right? :) I think Chris Cornell is much better at writing lyrics and singing. Besides, Mr. Bungle has all those clowns all over their self-titled album. I HATE clowns. They scare me. Nothingman -Ok all you puss sucking mother fuckers out there. It's time to win a chance to butt-bang your daughter's tight virgin cherry ass to caller #666! ------------------------------ From: ssmith@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: glenn & grote vs. the world... TO>> JG>billy corgan and his band of pumpkins are one of the more overrated TO>> JG>bands on the modern music scene. TO>> TO>> Overrated? You want overrated? How about Green Day...how's that for TO>> overrated? TO>At least SP use more than three chords on their last three TO>> albums. TO>Good point. And at least they use more than one drum beat, unlike the Offspring. TO>> And how about Nirvana? TO>Hey! That's what i was thinking. TO>I mean, the guys dead, and I STILL see TO>> him every month in the music magazines. It's pretty pathetic... TO>Yeah, let him die in peace. Where he may learn more chords... I dunno. I think maybe that hole in his head might hinder his guitar playing a bit. TO>> -Maybe I'll go into punk...I know four chords. TO>You could do better than ezra if those four are G, D, E, and C. TO>Otherwise, i know more than four chords. i guess i'm overqualified for TO>punk. -j I know G and C. I could learn D and E reallt fast. I also just learned Kickstand. I watched the CD+ and then played along with them. It's the first song I can play and sing to at the same time (I've been playing the guitar off and on for about a year now, just got my own). Now if I could just sing along to My Wave I'd be happy... Nothingman -Kickstand, you got loose and I threw up. ------------------------------ From: ssmith@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Soundgarden Survey TO>> -Big time, hard line, bad luck, fist fuck... TO>> TO>You think you're having all the fun, but you know me, i hate TO>everyone..... -j And then there's the guitar on Last. I love that song. It's even better on headphones. Nothingman -This isn't meant to last, this is for right now. ------------------------------ From: "Limo Wreck" Subject: the last word. Religion and Chris Chris grew up in a large Catholic family. He is one of 7 siblings. Dan, the PopTart hit "Holy Water" on the head. "Say hello to Heaven" is in remebrance of Andy Wood, so Chris was singing about what he knew. Heaven has a life after death thing for Andy. "Your Savior" is an anti-conformist song. The 'savior' represents an object that people think will bring you great joy and happiness, i.e. money, popularity. "Jesus Christ Pose" is a reaction by Chris to pictures he had seen a lot of famous people being photographed in the Jesus Christ cross pose. thanks, - -- Jeremy Crocker, A.K.A LimoWreck or unGod j_crocke@eos.ncsu.edu http://www4.ncsu.edu/eos/users/j/j_crocke/WWW/home.html "I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being" "And the world spreads its legs for another fuckin' star! cause I am the all-American AntiChrist" -Marilyn Manson ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 8] **************************************
