It opens up with "Jerry Garcia's Finger," and some guy is counting along when Soundgarden does the intro to "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" which is what they opened with and the guy counting goes "1, 2, 3, 4" and when they don't come in on 4 he continues "5, 6, 7" ok, well you have to hear it. Anyway it has that song "Christi" on it, which I think is amazing, as well as "Ty Cobb" (great chorus.. I'm hardheaded, fuck you all) and "Waiting For The Sun" (covering the Doors, that's awesome too) and some Beatles cover where Chris is screaming at the end "YOUR FOOTBALL TEAM SUCKS!" oh and it has a live version of 4th of July, I almost shit my pants when I heard it. I just wish it had Fresh Tendrils live =) Ok, I'm gonna shut up now... until I get my Inflatable Soule tape and post what I think of that anyhow =) bubye, Foreshocks ------------------------------ From: Kelly Christa Jones Subject: Re: a favor to all my fellow poor friends I was so excited when I saw that skinny Rolling Stone w/ creepy Layne Staley on the cover had SOUNDGARDEN inside!

I think you shouldn't care what the "real" lyrics are. If Chris meant for the lyrics to be -completely- understood, he would have sang them more clearly...

I can barely remember what they played and in what order because I had to just concentrate on breathing 'cause it felt like my ribcage was being crushed when everyone rushed forward when that movie screen went up...but it was the best concert I've ever been to. It was the first (and so far, the only) concert I've crowd surfed at. Actually, the best parts were when they played old songs, like from Louder than Love. And some rad guy next to me kept yelling-Full on Kev's Mom! (like they could hear him. They didn't play it). Kelly On Fri, 19 Jan 1996 foreshocks@bbs.cowland.com wrote: > Thats awesome...

I know this has gone on long enough... In "Seasons" after the 2nd verse where the lyrics go to "I want to fly above the storm...(etc.) I always thought the part where Cornell sings "the Naked floor is cold as hell..." was : "The naked florist combed his hair" laugh at me now.

Kyle Petty, Son of Richard | | Soundgarden | |_____ melusk2@crow.cybercomm.net_______________________________________| ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Music in general This isn't exactly SG related, but when somebody said about Chris Cornell ( i hate calling him by his first name, i don't even know the guy) saying that thier point was to make "unique music"(something like that), i could not identify with him more. And it is frustrating as HELL. Unique music doen't come easy, as far as i know. I don't want my band to sound like every other schmo out there, yet Green day sounds like shit and they are millionares. WTF is up with the music business. Anyway, i don't think my band is that unique in our music yet, but i know that we will get better with time. Look at SG. Ultramega OK was basically just another hard rock album in the scheme of things. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Soundgarden fan, but if someone who only had Superunknown asked me about it, i wouldn't recommend it. It's for true fans, really. Anyway, back to the point, Louder than Love was a good album with a couple cool songs (Gun, Hands all Over, just the intro to Loud Love was cool as hell). Badmotorfinger was a great album that rocked out and propelled SG into the MTV (yecchhh) Buzz Bin, me thinks. True Flower was a great song from Ultramega OK and it did get airplay on MTV, but one good song doesn't make a great album (sorry to disrupt the continuim). Then came Superunkown, with, IMHO, is one of the best rock albums to hit the shelves. The next album, who knows? Some might say SG can only go down, but that's bullshit. Led Zepplin still made awesome albums after the release of the untitled, and i have the feeling SG will do the same. The only thing i didn't like about Superunkown was the masses that hopped on the bandwagon afterwards. Not the people that bought Superunkown and enjoyed the hell out of it, then maybe bought some older stuff. No, I mean the idiots who bought it, listened to Black Hole Sun and Fell On Black Days and left the album to collect dust. Same thing with NIN and the Downward Spiral. MTV is corrupting rock n roll. Support your local radio station! Whaddya know, it did turn out to be a SG related topic after all.

"sort of". I don't partiqularly want to read books through opaque glasses, nor do I want to hear songs sung through fish, exept when Mike Patton does on rare occasions... (FNM consert of all times at the Isle of calves, Oslo, June 95) by the way , I'm no musician neither ULTRAMEGAOK nor Louder than Love were regular heavy recordings. recommend your contryman R.M.Pirsig's books on the subject of quality. there IS a REASON why quality stands out through the rest of the shait produced in this world. and as it happens it does NOT purely depend on subjective evaluation. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Notes from underwater From: "Matthew Paul Lawrence" > I just got the Reading '95 bootleg.. it's AWESOME to say the least!

But I don't remember much of the other nerw songs they played.. I never realised they were actually playing a song before Searching w/ my good eye closed, I thought it was just feedback. I don't remember half of that stuff.. Maybe I lost out when I was moshing :( Can you tell me the name of the last song they played, I just remember that it was instrumental with an arpeggiated variants of a D chord and LOTS of bass feedback.
