THE URGE - this is a metal-funk-ska type band from st. louis. they're one of the greatest live bands i've ever seen...imagine mighty mighty bosstones (another good brassy band) with more soul. (they have a little midget singer who screams, croons, raps, jumps around...awesome to watch) they have a standard vocal/guitar/bass/drum lineup plus two trombones and a sax. anywayz, their last album is called `receiving the gift of flavor' and is highly recommended by this listener. MORPHINE - anyone who pays any attention to me knows of my love for this band. they have a vocal/2-string slide bass/sax/drum lineup, which makes for one of the most unique sounds in the music biz. buy any of their albums and prepare for a journey into the land of the lounge lizards... ROSEGARDEN FUNERAL - i don't know if the `garden' reference was intentional, but this midwestern band does seem to take a lot of influence from soundgarden. they have a standard lineup plus a sax, which really adds a lot to their sound. which makes me wonder...i know sg used a sax in `rooms a 1000 yrs wide', although it was basically just a noise solo towards the end of the song. i would like to see sg experiment with some bad-ass brass on a few songs. just give a listen to any of the above-mentioned bands, fishbone, they might be giants, etc....brass instruments add a lot to their songs, and in the case of morphine, they ARE the songs. OK, i'll admit...saxes are technically not brass instruments, but usually they are arranged more like brasses in full-band arrangements than reeds... ANYWAYZ...bottom line...the boys should wet their lips and do some reed/brass work...that would pretty much solidify them among the greatest bands of all time. (a title they've basically achieved already, in my book) later... - - grote ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

The guitarist kept yelling at me because he doesn't know any Soundgarden, but I persuaded my band to play. I usually play bass, but I played guitar and made up this really cheesey solo =) and Jeremy the singer forgot the lyrics but he ad-libbed pretty well. My friend John played bass for it. It was the closest I've ever come to covering Soundgarden, and I was satisfied. Nowadays I'd love to play Blind Dogs or something, but it ain't gonna happen. I want to find some fellow Soundgarden addicts that live around me and jam with them, but there AREN'T any. =( Although I was in this guitar store when the bass player from O.Z Willis and I played Loud Love together.. him on guitar, me on bass.

Anyway, I finally listened to it all the way. It's a great song. I (Vikki) need to step in here for a moment. SG have always maintained that their albums are cohesive bodies of sound -- meaning that the track placements were intentional. As a fan of SG, you cheat yourself when you only listen to certain tracks on a given CD. (Of course, we all have our favorites that have nearly dislodged the repeat buttons on our stereos.) I'm just saying that SG are, as we all know, very unique with respect to mood changes (or consistency) on each very different album, and when you skip certain tracks in favor of other individual songs, the 'intended' mood of the work is interrupted and lost. IMHO, give the mood of the ENTIRE PIECE a chance to be absorbed in through your nerve endings or something of the SG experience gets missed! Vikki ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: you're stuck with me again.......thoughts on singers........ Howdy all! Yes, Carolyn the Music Freak has returned. I'm still catching up - have the last seven digests to read yet - but thought I'd better pipe up and send you all an Australian Gidday and then throw in my two bobs' worth on the Billy Corgan etc. etc. singing issue that has been thrashed quite a bit in the digests I've read already.......... Now, my friend Glenn started all of that (good to see you still like to keep probing our minds for intelligent (?!) debating, Glenn!) and I don't want to argue with anyone here about who is a "good" singer, who isn't so "good", who is a "talented" musician, and who isn't...... BUT!! I DO want to share my thoughts with you: if every day consisted of blue sky and sunshine and there was never any wind or rain, and if every country had lush green pastures without any mountains, and if every garden contained only red flowers without any other colour, and if every person in the world had the same ideas and opinions...................then wouldn't that become rather dull and boring? And if every band had a "perfect" singer (who didn't sound like he had a clothespeg on his nose!), then wouldn't THAT be rather dull and boring too? I don't mind Smashing Pumpkins (I adore their song "An Ode To No One") but I can see why Glenn, Grote, Dan Hearsch & Co. aren't too keen on old Billy's voice - it grates on me also sometimes, much like some songs by the one and only Alice in Chains.... {now Glenn & Daniel Garrett - smile! :-) } I also like Prong, and yet their vocalist can give me the gripes, too. And I love Violent Femmes, and yet I can see how the magical sound of Gordon Gano could annoy some people. AND I love Soundgarden (don't we all), AND YET I can see how Chris Cornell's screeching could drive some people up the wall.......... I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it takes all kinds of singers to give we humans enjoyment - what sounds shit-house to some people sounds magnificent to others. And if every singer sounded like Chris Cornell, wouldn't we all begin to wonder what makes that sound so good with nothing else to compare it with? Just some food for thought - I'll run back to my hole now & continue catching up on all this...............

No, LaughingBoy, that doesn't seem stupid. In fact, I congratulate you on your stand. BUT I'm different from you. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I like music for the music. For no other reason. Not because I like the band members, not because they have the same values and opinions as me, not because they are into drugs/are not into drugs, not because they are not sexist, racist.....whatever. Down here in Australia we get very little publicity about bands, which makes it easy for me to be totally unbiased about the bands I choose to listen to. I know nothing about the personal lives of band members! (I'd venture to say that just because there may be more media coverage of bands in other countries doesn't mean that what is reported about those bands is in fact correct....).

Go - Animal - Glorified G - Rearview Mirror........good, rocking, energetic songs. And then there was Indifference. Just as emotional as the fantastic songs on Ten. Now, Limo Wreck, if Soundgarden's next albums continue in a more and more different vein are you, as a "real SG fan" going to be filled with a sense of loss? Or will you, like me as a fan of Soundgarden (and Pearl Jam), actually appreciate the new intensity and direction the album takes? Hmmmmm. Interesting.

McCready even has my >respect now for getting his life in order and going public about it. >But EV can go jump off the nearest tall peak in the Cascades.

You can think what you like of Eddie Vedder, and of any band as a whole, for that matter. I don't mind! :-) But I want you to know that not everyone out here thinks PJ sold out. Shit, some songs on Vitalogy "speak out" to me (e.g. Betterman, Tremor Christ, Immortality) just as much as their earlier songs. [Betterman was actually written before Vs. was even released, btw]. If a band such as Pearl Jam can continue to write lyrics that reach out to people and give them something they can identify with, then in my opinion they have definitely not "sold out" at all. Now this is NOT meant to start the ball rolling on another PJ versus the world argument..........PLEASE! I'm merely giving you MY opinion. I am NOT saying they're the best band in the world, that they have no faults, that (heaven forbid) they are a whole lot better than Soundgarden..............

MR> ClownWithBazooka A friend of mine thought Holier Than Thou by Metallica was Poison Arrow. And on Rusty Cage, I though he said, "You ironed me awake and hit me with a hand of broken nails." And then, "You tied my Lee and watched my blood begin to boil." And then later, a friend thought it said, "You turned a phillips head inside my brain." I though my friend said, "You turned a phillips head and signed my brain." I'm a putz...but so is he.

You don't have it loud enough on at home or in your car. Oh, I think I've heard it loud enough in a car. A friend of mine had a Chevette with 4 15" speakers in the back seat with a humongous amp with it's own car battery to run it all. Did I mention that he also had 6 6" speakers throughout the rest of the car? I sat in it, he turned it up, and my heart stopped. Chris' voice still wasn't as good as it was live. TO>3.

That's probably it. We'll accept this one.

I thought it was a very interesting history of the band, and the development of the Seattle 'thing' in general. The book gives some good insights into how each album developed and the directions SG took. Any thoughts?
