Oh, yeah... fuck off. ------------------------------ From: vman@ctdnet.acns.nwu.edu (Vasant Ramamurthy) Subject: Stop bashing SP Please stop the Smashing Pumpkins bashing here. Firstly, there are SG fans like me who are also Pumpkin fans, and I don't subscribe to the SG list because I want to hear people bash SP. Secondly, this is a Soundgarden list, and that should be the foremost topic. Anyway, back to SG. Does anybody kinda see a similarity between this one Silverchair song (I don't know the name) and Kyle Petty, Son of Richard? The main chords kinda sound similar, also like 1970 by the Stooges.

Does anyone know of any Soundgarden screensavers? I gotta have one. I was also thinking that someone compile some code which produces a screen saver of the BMF wheel spinning and bouncing all around the screen like an out-of-control circular saw-blade. Just a thought. p.s. ...all the while playing Rusty Cage at 110dB... >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ From: JUNKGUNF@aol.com Subject: Re: HELLO AGAIN In a message dated 96-01-14 15:14:50 EST, you write: >gee, it's been quite awhile, fellow somms persons-------i was recently >flipping through some old cds, and i came across the singles soundtrack >(probably everyone's first "alternative" album) My first "alternative" (as it related to the environment around me) album. Hmmm... had to be REM's _Document_ album. I finally heard an REM song on the radio ( "the one I love" ), decided they didnt suck as bad as my metal bud's said...and I bought the tape. Still one of my favorite's. If you listen close to the song "Gardening at Night" from REM's first EP you can hear Stipe mumble the word: Sound Garden.... no shit! Oh yeah! I distinctly remember playing them the tape right after we heard Guns n Roses for the first time! On vinyl even! Circa '87 less than a month from it's original release date. They sounded so fresh back then! What happened? I think they just got too big for their own good and sorta became a cartoon with all the fights, sub abuse and axel..... If you're thinking....GnR...they suck! Well you're right, they do. But you *had* to be listening to radio and mtv in '87-'88 to understand why they broke. GnR was a welcome fresh breath of air! The first live EP, uzi suicide..something?...was killer! And I know this statement is sacrilege...but when I heard Mother Love Bone's _Apple_ and/or _Shine_ for the first time in '89-'90 (I cant remember which one I heard first). I thought Andy Wood sounded a lot like Axel and Steve Tyler. >-----i listened to "seasons" >an acoustic number by none other than chris cornell-----it really blew my >mind---chris' voice is so prominent in that acoustic ballad. does anyone >agree with me in saying where is some more mellowed out acoustic stuff by >soundgarden and/or chris? If you get ahold of the bootleg Stolen Prayers or Poncier. There are a couple acoustic CC songs. Fluttergirl and Nowhere but you. There is also a demo of spoonman that would be called acoustic. That set contains SG's best non released song: "Missing". >one more thing---i was listening to Q101 (chicago), at about 4 am, and they >were playing an entire soundgarden album straight thru.....it was >incredible....i didn't know if it was an old album, or possibly cut from >alive in the superunknown ( i was rather shitfaced at the time)....all i >remember is chris singing along to the guitar riff from footsteps (pearl >jam)....someone help me out on this one. wasnt that totd? steve - - swr@acsu.buffalo.edu - - http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~swr - - SG Web Alliance ------------------------------ From: Michael Travers Subject: Re: Faith No More and Mr. Bungle Hey Nothingman, How can the lead singer of Faith No More's voice be less annoying that the lead singer from Mr. Bungle when they are the same person?

I mean, the guys dead, and I STILL see > him every month in the music magazines. It's pretty pathetic... oh, i was just touching the tip of the iceberg by mentioning smashing pumpkins. jeezuz, 85% of the commercally successful musicians nowadays are vastly overrated. (well actually, people with any semblance of musical knowledge never took bands like green day seriously anyway...maybe they don't fit the definition of `overrated' since the only ones `overrating' them in the first place are people who don't know what they're talking about.) yes, `overrated' could include bands like green day, nirvana (from a musical standpoint...although cobain was a pioneer in the resurgence of 70's style straight-ahead power-pop, like it or not), bush, silverchair, offspring...you can go back to the 80's and toss in certain glam bands with no musical ability whatsoever like poison and warrant...i guess it depends who is doing the `rating'...if the masses get to decide what bands are the most `musically inclined', then i guess michael bolton, hootie and the b-fish and mariah carey are the true talents, and bands like soundgarden, morphine, sugar and faith no more are the bottom dwellers... sigh...later. - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

Vasant, you're right... the Smashing Pumpkins thing is done. But the rest of this note isn't addressed to you. I'm sorry I've helped prolong it as long as I did (being one of the merely two or three people who participated in the "bashing"). So, yes, let's get back to SG. BUT, before we do... I just want to say that I am NOT letting this drop simply because someone is telling me to shut up on the basis that they like a band I don't. Everyone here has a right to like any band they want... well, folks, I've got every goddamn right to dislike whoever I want. I've gotta say, I find it rather bizarre that the only time someone cries, "Hey, this isn't about Soundgarden!" is when a band they like gets trashed. Well, tough shit. I don't like SP, and I'm not going to. Clown doesn't like PJ. Some things don't change. I'm sure if I brought up G n' R (not to say I like them), there would be plenty of you to beat up on me, and no one complaining. So let's watch who's calling the kettle black, okay? I've gotten a heap of mail from a few assholes who can't let people hold legitimate opinions (sorry, Seth, but this was the easiest way to write to them all at once... my sincere apologies). So feel free to continue the barrage... I'm up for it... let's just do it in private, okay??? Once again, sorry Seth, and sorry to all and any list members who've been annoyed by my shitty mood lately. :)> Take care, all, Glenn ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 9] **************************************
