Re: y aren't I getting any mail? ------------------------------------------------------------ From: lovedog@txdirect.net (mauricio) Subject: Re: hello all! my girlfriend made me realize something the other day when i went into a music store to buy some picks and look around the store and see what they had available. when i was walking out a couple of other people where walking out with new sets of strings mumbling things like, "yeah, we need to practice," and, "when's our next gig." she made me realize that there are thousands (if not millions) of other guitar players out there, and there is someone that will always be one step ahead of you in the competition. so that's why i feel that a true musician should learn to play more than one instrument (maybe three or four different ones would be good). For example, when soundgarden first started off chris was the man behind the skins (drums), and he was also the vocalist (your voice is considered an instrument of music). another example would be dave grohl (from the foo fighters), he's played the drums, bass, guitar, and sing (not at the same time of course). ------------------------------ From: warren@anchor.co.uk (Outshined) Subject: Soundgarden - Reading '95 Did anyone else see Soungarden at the Reading (U.K.) Festival last year ?? They cancelled their '94 appearance due to Chris having vocal problems, and I was just wondering what the general opinion of the set was ? They seemed to me to be a bit lacking in the enthusiasm department (which isn't typical of their live show, very out of character). Anyway, they played a song I've never heard, right at the end. It was kind of a dark arpeggio effort, without vocals... possibly a demo track from the *NEW* album ??? Can anyone shed some light on this ??? Also, does the SG CD+ have a U.K. release date ?

You know, the punks, the grungies, the bands that would never be played on Top 40 radio, that only the fringe of the population knew about. So I'd have to say it's an alternative to the mind-numbing, boring, repetitive mainstream stuff alot of us may have grown up on! Why wouldn't a band want to be called alternative? How else do you describe some of the music we on this list like? Let's trhow this one out to the list--Folks, if you had to label Sgarden's music, what would you call it? I cringe to think someone is going to stick them w/ the label heavy metal. How does anyone get into the hard core HM stuff, I've never figured that one out. Sg is simply too...something...to be a metal band. Clean, just off of center, stuff like that. I agree--anyone can listen to any music, any band, and it shouldn't matter what imaginary lines you're crossing. I like having unusual (tho I suppose to some boring) musical tastes, b/c of where I work and what i do, no one expects it of me. I'm in contact w/ teenagers 5 days a week, and when they find out what I listen to, that I know Live, and Sgarden and PJ and others, they're stunned. It's fun! Good discussion here!

I have one that is white with the dark forest all across the middle of the shirt. From one sleeve to the other on top says Soundgarden in large bad printing and across the bottom says Superunknown. Back and front are the same. The lettering is red and reddish purple. Who was on the list that had something like 27 SG t-shirts????

One album that has it is Fresh Deadly Rarities, which I just acquired over the break. I strongly recommend it. How do you have all those other songs for your b'sides tape and not FDR's? I also have Sub-Pop 200 and it has the SG song "Sub-pop Rock City" (its fuckin cool) Curt My brother has heard it on 104.3 > (We live in NJ) a couple times and told that it is pretty good.

I'm not one who likes to answer non-SG related strings but...I think Rush has really gone down hill in recent years. I like that song where they say "In and around the lake..." and that other one that jams that everybody knows. But do you all remember "Roll the Bones"? Temporary insanity? Poor Management? How bout the rap in the middle, that was pretty awful. Curt On Wed, 17 Jan 1996, He Who Walks Between wrote: > Ok, this isn't related to soundgarden, but i have a question for you rush > fans.

I wasn't seriously asking what 'alternative' music is. (I'm not that sheltered) I was just wondering what people thought the term meant. I just don't get why so many people are buying into it. I just call soundgarden musicians. They make music. The reason I don't buy into the classification of bands is because that tends to classify ME. >>>-------------------------------> Geoff Kleemola gkleemol@io.uwinnipeg.ca U of Winnipeg Psychology student http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/~gkleemol <-------------------------------<<< ------------------------------ Subject: Re: SG Boots? From: nephend@usa.pipeline.com (nancy e phend) In regards to boots. I have a few but my favorite by far is 'Digging the Garden'. It has 13 tracks all recorded live from the 'Motorvision Tour: Searching With My Good Eye Closed (excellent) Mind Riot Outshined Jesus Christ Pose (excellent as always) Room A Thousand Years Wide Rusy Cage Little Joe Slaves & Bulldozers (at a whopping 12:51) Hands All Over Big Dumb Sex Gun Beyond the Wheel Somewhere The disc says Made in Italy by Razor's Edge. Hope this helps. nephend (one of the greyhairs) ------------------------------ From: "Dwayne Bryant" Subject: Come Together I have a disc called "Loudest Love" that has the song "Come Together". It is a Japanese Import and came with a lyric sheet in Japanese and English. The song tracks are: 1. Loud Love 2. Hands All Over 3. Get On the Snake 4. Heretic 5. Come Together 6. Fresh Deadly Roses 7. Big Dumb Sex (New Version) It also came with a cool chrome decal. This was the second SG disc I bought after BM/SOMMS. Dwayne ------------------------------ From: S0undgardn@aol.com Subject: Re: t-shirts > Who was on the list that had something like 27 SG t-shirts???? That would be me. :o) I have one that says black hole sun on the back and has a weird picture on the front. One that has a question mark on the front and says soundgarden on the back. A tie dye badmotorfinger shirt. A white shirt that has the band on it from 95 and another white shirt that has the band on it from 92. A bright red shirt that has the blurry picture that's in the superunknown case on the front and soundgarden is embroidered on the back. A glow in the dark shirt that has the words to superunknown on the back. A long sleeve shirt that says soundgarden down the sleeve and has an indian dancer on the front A badmotorfinger shirt that has the logo in purple and has a gun on the back and one that has the logo in red on the front. A white shirt that has the ultramega ok logo on the front. Oh and a gray shirt that has the animal collage that's on their tour poster on the front and the ultramega ok logo on the back. Well those are my favorites. I have a lot more so if anyone wants to know what other shirts are out there just tell me. :o) ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: Re: t-shirts That's amazing =) I envy you, you have an Ultramega OK shirt... My claim to fame is I have this Superunknown shirt that I've only seen in one store.. it's black, and on the front it says SsUoPuEnRdUgNaKrNdOeWnN and the Soundgarden part is white and embroidered in and the Superunknown part is just printed on in grey.. nothing on the back... oh yeah and I have the Badmotorfinger shirt with a really messed up Soundgarden logo and the Badmotorfinger wheel and the spark plugs on the front and an embroidered Badmotorfinger wheel on the back.. of course you probably have those =) But do tell what other shirts you have...

Why aren't I getting any mail? Where'd everyone GO???? =) Well anyway to keep this letter from being totally ridiculous... here's something that's related to Soundgarden if only genetically.. I ordered the Inflatable Soule tape from the Blotch Home Page, to which I found a link on the unofficial SG home page.. in case anyone doesn't know, Inflatable Soule is made up of six members, three of which whom are Katy, Suzy and Peter Cornell, none other than Chris Cornell's siblings. But I'm sure you knew that =) Well I'll tell anyone who cares how it sounds when I get it =) bubye *Foreshocks ------------------------------ From: "Jennifer L. York" Subject: Re: y aren't I getting any mail? > Why aren't I getting any mail? Where'd everyone GO??o > > I don't know. Its kind of creepy. Maybe all of the strictly sg related messages were too much. :) . Back to trashing bands that suck. Just joking. I have run out of sg things to say. I don't buy bootlegs, I can't get the cd+ to work, I have bad taste in music, anything I say will be meaningless. You know it's sad when even nothingman is not talking to us > Okay, here's a topic for conversation: What is the best song you've ever seen sg do live? My vote: Jesus Christ Pose or searching with my good eye closed. Also, I saw them do big dumb sex about 4 or 5 years ago and it was neat because they had this really long recorded intro part of this guy sayingfuck a bunch of times. It was so long ago, I can't remember what the point of it was but I remember thinking it was cool. well, that's it. jennifer ------------------------------ From: Sabo Subject: Re: y aren't I getting any mail? My_ favorite has to be JCP. That song gave me goose bumps when they opened with it on their Superunknown tour. I am still in awe of that concert, and of all the other concerts I have been to the SG one kicked major ass. Hey did anyone else see them in Milwakee? Or where did any one else see SG play? Randy ------------------------------ From: foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com Subject: Re: y aren't I getting any mail? Thats awesome... I saw em in Rochester for the Days We Tried To Live tour, and I think the best one was, hm, Jesus Christ Pose, too =) they OPENED with it and I was standing there, and suddenly I was on the floor =) Some guy helped me up.. if he's on the list, probably not, thank you ! They didn't do that for me at Nine Inch Nails =) At that concert I had people stepping on my face..... But I got more bruises at Soundgarden than I did any other show =) Tad opened, and that was my first moshpit... I almost died =) oh that reminds me I saw NIN twice, the second time I got stepped on, the first time I was there, standing next to this guy, and I look over and it was the spitting image of Matt Cameron... I almost died =) It wasn't him, I'm pretty sure, but Soundgarden could have been passing through, because they were on tour kinda around there... yeah, right =) ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 13] ***************************************
