Chris doesn't do that cuz Chris rules :) There's a different way of breathing when you sing. Eddie probably never took lessons. :) Nothing against his voice, but I just prefer Chris's..

FO>Foreshocks I don't think that's it. Eddie does it for effect, I think. I dunno, though. But he's not gasping for air, he's just elongating the word at the end of the line, and instead of keeping the word going, he breathes really loud so we can hear him. In any kind of music, you are taught to use you diaphram (like wind instruments...especially brass. I play trumpet). I noticed everytime Chris wails something on Motorvision, he rares back (like a trumpet player when sqealing out the high notes) and his stomach just tightens up (like a trumpet player anytime). I just noticed that, and thought it was cool. Sometimes, though, on earlier albums (Ultramega OK, especially) Chris starts wailing, and gets a bit out of control. I think he does this on Inscessant mace a lot (it could be another...it's been a while). But he's MUCH better at it now (not that he was bad before). But Eddie does pretty good at controling his voice too. I like the emotion that each of them put into their singing. And the best part about it is, they sound great doing it.

There is this truly cool band from...don't laugh...Spokane WA called Citizen Swing, and they use a trumpet. Purely rockin' music and the trumpet makes it sound unique.

When I listen to SG it gives me a different feeling than any other music can give me. It is definitely a dark place, but not a bad place. I find a different side of me when I listen to SG. I don't listen to it before I go out to a party or anything, but when I come home from that party the only cd I ever put on is a SG cd. My thoughts are taken over by SG right before I go to sleep.

SA>I haven't yet tallied the unrelated ones. SA>Let's try to stay focused here. SA>Soundgarden, Soundgarden, Soundgarden. SA>seth Did I get a record yet? Maybe I should get some kinda prize. Nothingman -I want Kim's beard. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: my feet are bigger... S3> in addition to matt's drumming and ben's quirky song writing (no S3>half-type songs here thank god!), you get to hear matt sing lead vocals S3>on an entire song :) Which song is this? I was listening, but I missed it. I guess it's because I've never heard him sing before, so i didn't know what to listen for. Nothingman -I don't feel like thinking now. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Seth Perlman aka ? S3>> Shit, I would have gotten away with it were it not for you pesky kids. S3>> S3>> old man saperl S3>Yeah but who are you really under that mask, old man saperl? Oh, my! It's...it's...CHRIS CORNELL!!! Nothingman -Kim is just me under all that hair. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: Re: Chris's voice TO>Yeah, that's what i always thought. i always read AIV lyrics before i TO>listen to the songs and see how i would sing them. Somehow, Layne TO>completely differs from me every time. But he doesn't really have much TO>range. Or at least he hasn't shown it. But he still sounds cool, and sometimes I can even sound like him. TO>Alice in Chains TO>> are kinda weird if you think about it. Who ever thought to put slow TO>> dreary lyrics over fast, kick ass guitars? TO>Soundgarden. Loud Love? Oh, the lyrics aren't really dreary. Old TO>well. I tried. Yeah, I guess Loud Love is kinda like that. I figured out Loud Love a longtime ago. If I ever get the energy to type the tabs, I'll send them to seth (if you don't mind, Mr. List Administrator) and maybe he'll put them on the page. I also have Get on the Snake figured out too. Nothingman -Get on the snake with a swarm of motor flies. What the hell? ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: the devil says... S3> I think they are just poking fun at those hair farmer bands that S3>try to act all bad-ass and satanic. let's face it: 665-667 is a *joke* S3>song. how can you not end up laughing when you find out what chris is S3>singing? What is he singing? Nothingman -I guess I don't have an ear for, "AAIIIIYYY AAHHHHH HHEEYYY!!!" ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Chris's voice From: seth > Yeah, I guess Loud Love is kinda like that.

But, be sure to also send a copy to Mr. Northcutt , because he's putting together his own Soundgarden tab Web page. seth ------------------------------ From: "Dan \"Pop-tart\" Hearsch" Subject: Duct tape? i thought all duct tape was silver. i can't ever rmember seeing anything called duct tape that was black. i've seen black electrical tape, but that stuff is different then duct tape in a lot of ways, like you can't just tear it, you have to cut it. and it's waterproof, which duct tape is not. not that that diminishes in any way the fact that chris digs on the duct, i just think the dufus in rolling stone doesn't know what duct tape is, and chris is making wallets out of electrical tape or something. ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 22] ***************************************
