I'm gonna' write it in BIG FUCKING CAPITAL LETTERS so everyone (like that fucking limp-dick, half-bitch cervical fluid-brained clarkgris@aol.com) can properly understand. So..... SETH, GLENN, AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO GIVES A FUCK: I AGREE WITH YOU. I UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE RIGHT; I WAS WRONG. WHEN I SENT THAT FIRST "BLACK WEB" POST I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE WHOLE FUCKING SPEECH CENSORSHIP THING. I THOUGHT THE BILL WAS JUST ABOUT PHONE AND CABLE COMPANIES. THAT'S WHY I ASKED "WHY ARE WE PROTESTING?". NOW I KNOW, AND I'M ON YOU'RE SIDE. Come on. Who (besides the fucking religious right) is in favor of censorship? Hell if it's me. I like to say 'fuck' and hell if Clinton's gonna' tell me I can't. And there's no fucking way (like Glenn pointed out) that this censorship shit can be effectively done. The internet is WAY too big and adequate resources are WAY too small. NOW do you guys understand me? 'Cause flaming me isn't going to solve the problem. I'm 800% against fucking censorship, just as (most) of you are. Ross "But in your heart I'd freeze." --C. Cornell ------------------------------ From: James B Hawken Subject: Big Dumb Sex cover...

If I remember right, I think the first part of the song is called "Buick Mckaine" or something, and "Big Dumb Sex" starts up halfway through the song. In fact, I had listened to Spaghetti Incident long before I ever heard LTL- so when I heard "Bid Dumb Sex" I first thought SG was covering GNR and not the other way around!:O - - Jim ------------------------------ From: jjevans@direct.ca (The Masochistic Minstrel) Subject: Let Me Drown A friend of mine said that Let Me Drown was about the band being afraid of selling out, does anyone else think so or have any other ideas?

I spent hours tring to figure out what he was saying in the chorus, i thought it was something like "oni cha wagera oni cha wagera" over and over again. I'm still not sure but now I think it's "Come and try to wake her". I had a tape of Like Suicide for a long time and no lyrics, I thought Chris was saying "She lived like a buzzard but she died just like suicide. . . " I suck I know. and mnow 4 a quote from the amazing gandharvas:[the masochistic minstrel] I am a mute with broken fingers, swollen lips, and faith in telepathy.

I remember a while ago everyone was speculating on the meaning of the lyrics to BHS. Could it be about heroin? several people asked. It's about empty, shallow, suburban life, one person opined. Well, we were all wrong! It's about cottage cheese. Chris even said so in RIP magazine several years ago. There. Mystery solved. ;-) ------------------------------ From: swr@acsu.buffalo.edu (Steven Russell Jr.) Subject: Alpine Valley 8/29/92 Hey List! someone asked about chris cornell doing some solo work on the second stage of lolla 92 in Alpine Valley, WI. Well I sent the 'bloodhounds' out looking for information and here's what I came up with: 8/29/92 Alpine Valley, Chris Cornell on the second stage plays "Seasons" solo. Also Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder duet on "Hunger Strike". The last song of the 3 song mini-set is Eddie V solo doing some song I dont remember. There also might exist a copy of Chris Cornell playing with Pearl Jam for one or two songs on 8/14/92 in Lake Fairfax, VA because Eddie V. was late to show up for the opening song. I think they played 'Hunger Strike' with CC later in the set. I've got people 'searching the earth' for actual copies of these performances...so if they exist, I'll know in a couple days. the flu sucks!

I own one of the afore-mentioned Guild S-100 's , or at least I think so. I bought the thing used for about $200 in 1990 (before even having heard of SG) but the headstock as well as the rest of the guitar had been repainted by the previous owner...anyways, i played a Guild S-100 in another guitar shop and it felt exaclty to same- nice thin neck, balanced and lightweight, good heavy tone and good sustain, same funky pickguard and body shape- so as far as i can tell its the same thing. As far as the question about Guild still making these, I'm not sure. I think I read something a while back about Thayil being impressed or honored or whatever that Guild had started making them again due to their popularity increase after SG became a prominent band... anyways, I would recommend this guitar model to anybody, since it is very playable, sounds nice, and is generally under $400.

GK>Yeah, but what exactly is the meaning of 'Full on'. Does anyone know GK>what it means to go 'full on'? My interpretation of that song was that GK>the three people were not brothers in the same-parent sense of the word. GK>"Kev and me were 2 of 3, 3 brothers to the end". "Then someone went full GK>on Kev's mom, now thing have changed". I interpreted it to mean that GK>someone had sex with Kev's mom. "I ain't telling who, but it wasn't GK>me". So unless someone is familiar with a colloquialism that I am not... I took full on as getting really mad and possibly even killing her, but That's just me. Anyone ever use this expression?

I like SG version better, but Slash does do a pretty good job on the guitar. It's just too clean for such a dirty song, though. That's what makes Kim awesome...he plays 'em like they should be. Nothingman -Eat your vitamins, be a nice person. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: FYI: The Telecommunications Bill (fwd) BE>Ok, after Ross got the good verbal beating, read it over and make an BE>intelligent decision. Decide for yourself before another big Social 1984 BE>erupts. Social pressure is just as scary as the Government. But, this BE>bill still sucks (just make your own decision). Ok. We're in a capitalist society, right? (I might be getting my terms mixed, but I think they are right...I was asleep in school, shoot me) So this means that business and government are totally seperate (or was this socialist?). And then there is the communist society where all businesses are owned and operated by the government. Well, it sounds to me like the government is getting a bit power hungry, and they are trying to control business. They seem to be on a Power Trip (not totally SG unrelated). If they eventually control all this stuff, they might as well own it too, so we would turn to being sorta communist. What's wrong with England's government (other than England hates Soundgarden :) and why isn't our government more like it? How about Canada? Do they have ump-teen bazillion dollar debts in those countries? They are never in any major wars (except England a little, I think). Well, anyway, US government is one of the most powerful and one of the best in some areas, but I think maybe they should take a look at some other countries in those other areas. But I think everybody hasthis censorship problem. Isn't that why America started? So their religeon couldn't be censored? Well, anyway, I'm just rambling now, and I've been getting all my facts wrong all night, because I have a bazillion things on my brain, and it's not working right. Damn, I'm having a bad day.

I'll bet he pees acoustically a lot. In fact, in an interview with Request magazine, the interviewer said he got up off the couch a few times during the interview and peed in a cup in the corner (and yes, the cup was overflowing) even though the bathroom was only a few feet away. Maybe something crawled up in Kim and died, and he just let it out that night in the bathroom. I'll bet he could hold a lot in that beer gut of his. Maybe he should get together with Dimebag Darrell and compair guts. "This isn't a beer gut, it's a gas tank for my sex machine." And then there's the time that Chris allegidly pissed on the statue of Micheal Jackson.... He should make an album with bodily functions (normal, and abnormal) with guest appearances from the rest of the band, and some others. Someone burps at the end of some song on Screaming Life. maybe this is Chris practicing for that album. Just some thoughts, feel free to flame me now, but not a lot, though.

I met some people a while back, who got arrested for no apparent reason (it was a mix up...I dunno) and after the police realized they had fucked up, they let them go. The guys were pretty pissed, and on their way outta the place, they played Rusty Cage on their freakin' awesome stereo system just because it kinda fit. And to piss the cops off. Well, anyway, my favorite to commit crimes to: I met a police officer that wouldn't believe me that the stop signs with the white boarders were optional after I kinda went right through it (I paused, kinda...it used to be a yield sign). I was listening to Big Dumb Sex at the time. Badmotorfinger is a good album to listen to when you're pissed off, and I drive REALLY fast when I'm pissed off. BUT, White Zombie gives my car thos extra 300 horses. It must be a devil thing. But I only drive fast and listen to WZ when I'm happy. Or when I need to get somewhere fast. Nothingman -Kyle Petty needs some White Zombie and he'll really be kickin' ass. -This in no way means that WZ should do that Kyle Petty song. -I was just making a reference to the actual driver, and winning races. ------------------------------ From: Ross Filipek Subject: Birth Ritual Today was a real treat.
