People was very upset and they started to through RF>I'll give you 3 guesses who the band member was (and it wasn't Kim, Chris RF>or Matt). I wonder if the ret of the band is into that. I know I read an interview with Chris that said he's not the typical rock star because he's happily married and drug free. i know he had an alcohol problem but is over that ow. And I know every time I see Kim (in a picture, of course) he's almost always holding a beer. But I never see Chris with anything. Except in that Screaming Life book, there's a picture of him, and there is smoke coming from his hand, which isn't in the picture, so I assume he smokes (cigarettes, that is). I know Kim smokes, and Ben seems like one of those by-theirself alcoholics. But I doubt it. Hater did a song on the Hepilation album, and as we all know, Ben and Matt are in Hater.

Does anyone know the maximum play time of a CD single? I know full size CD's hold about 75 minutes of music, and Soundgarden did an awsome job filling that up with SUPERUNKNOWN. But just curious about the singles. Also, where is the best place to look for singles?

He almost always opens the hi-hat on a downbeat, then closes it on the next upbeat. It's so awsome, and it's especially apparent on Limo Wreck and Fell On Black Days. In Limo Wreck he does a double, which is why it's one of my favorite songs.

THEN, you have to click reviews or documentary reviews... - ----------------------------------------------------------- Flannel. Facial hair. Assorted pierced appendages. This is the world of "grunge" -- at least according to the media. Doug Pray's HYPE! takes an exciting look at this subcultural phenomenon and the meteoric rise of a musical genre. The film is a part of the documentary competition at this year's Sundance Film Festival. HYPE! showcases the music of bands like Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Nirvana (with a rare clip of their first public performance of Smells Like Teen Spirit), and lesser known bands like Gas Huffer, the Fastbacks, and Coffin Break. Featured along with the bands are interviews with Seattle luminaries including Sub Pop Records founders Jonathan Poneman and Bruce Pavitt, Nirvana producer Jack Endino, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, and photographer Charles Peterson, whose pictures and stories give some fascinating insight into the "Seattle-sound." The musical performances in HYPE! look and sound great. They give the film its edge and energy. But HYPE! isn't really a story of the bands, the music or even Seattle. The film is an examination of how a new artistic movement becomes a trend, and goes on to have a major effect on American culture. Grunge's infiltration into society is manifested through fashion, advertising, and even language. From countless magazine covers, to a flanneled-up Larry "Bud" Melman chanting, "Thanks phone Dude" in the 1-800-Collect commercials, and an amazing New York Times list of "grunge-speak," HYPE! calls attention to just how derivative our society is. The film probably won't appeal to the Michael Bolton set. You have to have at least some appreciation for loud music, if not specifically the Seattle-sound. And, while Curt Cobain's suicide was touched on briefly, more attention could have been given to how that event permanently forged grunge's niche in music history and into the American mainstream. On the other hand, more content would have made the film too long, and most viewers will understand the significance of that tragic event. In recent years, several dramatic films have taken somewhat satirical looks at the media's effect on culture. But this is a true story, and the ridiculous realities the film uncovers makes this film even more powerful than many of its predecessors. HYPE! may be the definitive story of grunge, and also the final one. For now.

I'm not sure of Kim's fascination with them, but to me, they're pretty cool. (only heard a song or two...quite heavy) Soundgarden was playing with C.O.C. a few years back (1991) in Germany.

I know that Matt does, at least. I read a funny story about him in the "Matt Cameron Feature" issue of _Modern Drummer Magazine_ shortly after _Superunknown_ was released. Matt said that he and his friends were really into KISS when they were growing up, and one of the first bands he was in covered a lot of KISS songs. In fact, he said that his mom made authentic KISS costumes for the whole band. They even put on face paint before their shows! Anyways, they drew a fairly large following (for a *kids'* band, that is) until they got a threatening letter from KISS' management. This particular letter said something along the lines of "we'll sue your pants off if you impersonate KISS again and make money off it." So that was the end of that. I just thought it was funny. I mean, Matt pretending he's Peter Criss? P.S.--Blind Dog, I sent you a copy of this article a couple of months ago. I don't have the original here with me, so if I'm leaving anything out please fill me in. Thanx. "But in your heart I'd freeze." --C.

I have two of their CD's, Blind and Deliverance. Blind is OK. It's kind of Metallicaesque, but definately not as good as any of Metallica's stuff. Deliverence is much better. It's hard to say what it's like. It's sort of grunge-like, but it still has a hint of the Metallica-type metal sound.
