Mailman, Yeah, I bought TDITTL single a coupla months ago just for Like Suicide and I've loved it ever since....I've been trying to figure out the TAB for quite a while, but I figure it's gotta be just about the same as the electric version off of the album. Yes, there's definitely a 12-string acoustic playing in there, 'cause you can hear the higher octave G-string ringing very nicely thru the rendition of Chris' solo. The only problem I have is that I don't get the FULL sound like the recording probably because I don't have someone else on guitar playing with me. I can't figure out what guitars are being played...are there 2 12-strings going at it or a 12 and a 6 or more than 2 guitars altogether? Was Chris playing both guitars on separate tracks and then simply had them blended into one song or is Kim playing the other one(s)??

Very well then, I guess I'll just tune my guitar down, and put something over the ends of my fingers, and record one of the most influential albums in Rock-n-Roll history in only 8 hours. Cheerio." Actually, the accident occured several years before Black Sabbath. Tony Iommi worked in a machine shop and he was working with a metal- press, and he got his fingers caught in the press, and when he felt the pain, he jerked his hand away, leaving the tips of his fingers behind. It was not his last day because he was going on to do Sabbath, it was his last day becasue he didn't have fingertips. Anyway, he had been a good amateur guitarist before then, but after the accident (when he healed) the skin grew right over the bone at the end of his fingers, and it hurt too much to play. He totally gave-up the guitar for about a year, until a friend of his gave him a blues (or jazz) record that featured a guitar player that only had 3 fingers. (I can't remember the guy's name, or I'd tell you.) Anyway, after hearing the record, Tony Iommi decided to try playing the guitar again. His original finger caps were old thimbals (sp) with little pieces of leather glued to them (to press on the strings). Even with the caps, the strings still hurt (in those day, they didn't have light-guage strings), so he used banjo strings, and down tuned his guitar (in order to accomodate his fingers, and so that his finger caps would perform properly). And on that day, heavy metal was conceived. And NO, Tony Iommi does not hate his mother (nor did he hate her years ago). Even Ozzy (who hates Tony Iommi) says that Tony's Mom was they coolest Mom of all of them. She used to supply the truck for the early Sabs, and buy them cigarettes, and give them as much as she could. (All of there parents did what they could, but Tony's Mom just had a little bit more money and stuff, and so helped out Sabbath the most.)

I'm down with a heavy grey t-shirt. Not like one of those white tees with a whole bunch of black blobs to make it look grey. I'm talkin` about a smooth grey shirt with whatever slogan we decide on it. In my eyes, Soungarden walks in the real life and life is seldom black or white. SG write's what some people call depresssing stuff, but what we know to be real stuff. Anything that tells the unadulterated, raw truth only gives you knowledge, opens your eyes, and emboldens and strengthens us. In light of this realization, I think grey would be a kick ass tribute color to SG. I don't think we should spell out what SOMMS means. SOMMS is meant only for those who know, and those who are curios enough, and brave enough to find out what it means. Let's not cheapen it by laying out there for any old jackass to see. I think we ought to put SOMMS,just SOMMS, on it.

Worthless Is anyone familiar with the band Total chaos, a hardcore band on the Epitaph label. They have this quote in their latest album, "Patriotic Shock." They will be on the Damned tribute album but they are a lot harder than Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible could ever be. This shows that you don't have to be a lot like your musical influences. For example, Paul McCartney was Ozzy's favorite artist. This is why I think Mother Mania may have written "Soundgarden Sucks" (even though I haven't heard it) in tribute or as a means of expressing their liking for Soundgarden---people have weird ways of doing this. If anyone knows lyrics to the MM song, post some so we can see if the song is derogatory or not. Peace out bruthazzzz, Green Luther ------------------------------ From: Mohit Krishan Bawa Subject: Ghoul date For anyone who can make it, Ghoul will be playing at a club called "Numbers" in Houston. It is on Westheimer. The opening acts are Unleaded and Tear. Tear is a kind of old band also from the Northeast, trying to make a comeback and Unleaded is from Minneapolis. Tear is heavy---a lot like a combo of Misfits, Metallica, and Pantera. Unleaded is more hardcore/punk---they use three or maybe four chords in 3/4 or 4/4 time. Ghoul, who has the widest appeal of any of these bands is from New York/New Jersey and they are grungish and punkish. They are like a combination of Soundgarden, Sabbath, Misfits, and Replacements. They do weird covers too. The show is at 8 pm on Friday. Tickets are only $13 so try to see these bands or at least Ghoul, one of my favorite bands. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: List T-shirt From: "Matthew Paul Lawrence" > > On 21 Feb 96 at 14:00, Matthew Paul Lawrence wrote: > > > > It could be one of those shirts (heavy white is great) with a little > > > logo on the front, like where a pocket would be.

I like the "posting" idea but I also think it would be nice if the "tear from a dreaming eye" thing was workied in as well. I really like how the rest of the band laughs at Chris when he says that.

Then put SOMMS underneath it. Then on the back put Posting With My Good Eye Closed. As for the color of the t-shirt I have to agree with a couple of the other people on the list and say anything but black. nephend ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Re: T-shirt - summary Ok, here's my vote on T shirt Grey shirt, like mentioned before. SOMMS somewhere on the shirt, spelled out or acronysim i don't care The fork thing is a good idea NO BMF logo, i think that would be cheesy, like a ripoff. I'm flexible on the address....it'd be cool, but i think it would take away from the "mystery" of what SOMMS is...i like mystery. I say if anyone who is a good artist has ideas for graphics for the shirts, they can draw their idea and send it to seth. He could post it on the site and we could take a vote on what graphics we use. That's all. bye now. Gregg "Don't come over here and piss on my gate.

I just remembered of a shirt I was gonna make a couple of years ago, but I can't draw. :> What I was trying to do was take the Butterfinger candy bar logo and make it say Badmotorfinger and put it on a shirt, but like I said, I can't draw for shit. :> Anyway I think that would be kinda cool for a t shirt but this is the SOMMS list, not the Badmotorfinger list, and Butterfinger would probably sue us, but then again I see these parody thinies all the time so maybe not.. But I digress. Anyway I like the idea of a heavy white shirt, and I think the 'tear from an eye dreaming' thinge would be cool too... foreshocks - -sorry about the typos, but telnet sucks. ------------------------------ From: Heather Aston Subject: Ben Shepard Should a musicians behavior be kept in mind when evaluating his talent, or should the performance stand by itself? The reason I ask is because of Ben Shepard. From what I've heard on this list and elsewhere, he seems to be a pretty good musician and an integral part of the band. But he also seems to be, well..and asshole. I've heard countless stories of him spitting and cursing on fans, threatening to beat up *women*, talking about how he would kick or spit on girls he was disgusted with. Each time I hear something else, I feel a bit less favorable to him. Call me crazy, but his behavior reminds of a grammar school bully. Does he have some sort of psychiatric problem? ------------------------------ From: a94pafm@student.adb.gu.se (Fredrik Magnusson) Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Wednesday, 21 Feb 1996 >I was just in Seattle last week and I saw Artis the Spoonman playing the >spoons outside of SBC across from Pike Place Market.

Yeah, well Chris kicks enough ass on vocals that he doesn't have to play anything else, but he does anyway. -j ------------------------------ From: Carolyn Subject: T-shirt - summary Hi all, I'm feeling organised today. So here's a summary of what I think people in general would like to see on the T-shirt: Colour: many say not black (that includes me - I only prefer not black because I already have ooodles of band t-shirts (including SG ones) that are mainly black, so it would be nice to have something different). many say heavy white. some say not white (Deb pointed out so many bands used to have white t-shirts). So............how about any colour other than black or white? Most people who have commented on a colour have said they don't mind, but they don't want black, or they don't want white (or even don't want grunge brown! - Dana). We could have whatever colour might be the cheapest on the day. Logo: small wheel from badmotorfinger sounds like the go - on the front where a pocket might normally be (Nothingman's idea). Fork: Jamie's idea of a Ramen noodle twisted around a twisted fork is fantastic. Remember ClownWithBazooka started up a topic a few months ago on those noodles? So we have a reason to have one of them on a fork. And the twisted fork of course represents Chris in the band. What's to be written: I agree with Justin who made a good point about not writing out the full SOMMS meaning. Just leave it SOMMS. I suggest we have a fork across the front, with a Ramen noodle in the shape of the letters Soundgarden. And on the back, I think we should have: SOMMS Mailing List Posting With Our Good Eye Closed What do you think of that? Ideas, comments, votes, whatever, please..........

Anyway, to highten the biking experience, I slapped in 'Louder Than Love' while going through a wooden area stretch of about 20 miles. Let's just say that it was one of the most ephoric feelings I have ever experienced. Biking thorgh mud while sun is shining through dead trees and no one is around, nothing quite like it. Until "hands all over" and "Gun" came on. Flooring through trees and mud kept my speed down to around 15 mph but it didn't matter, with that volume cranked, I felt immortal for about 10 minutes, then I hit a stump. Anyway, it just added to a great day. Soundgarden, a bike path with no one on it, a quality brew(Crimson Voodoo Ale) after a ride and a chicken fajita dinner. Is there nothing finer in a well rounded day?

Yeah GREY :) I have white, I have black but only one grey band shirt. BTW I have seen a white SG shirt, it is white, with black on the edge, and has the shot of the band that is used in promo stuff for TDITTL. It's cool, anyway...... >SOMMS somewhere on the shirt, spelled out or acronysim i don't care SOMMS yes we need that, it is the SOMMS list after all. And I like leaving it as SOMMS now, that way we just will get asked more times what it means :) >The fork thing is a good idea Yeah, if someone can draw it, it would be very cool, with Soundgarden through it or maybe just the fork, depending on the difficulty. IF not throught the fork, next to it, under it or something. >NO BMF logo, i think that would be cheesy, like a ripoff. Yeah, I would rather something original, we do after all have BMF shirts to wear elsewhere. >I'm flexible on the address....it'd be cool, but i think it would take >away from the "mystery" of what SOMMS is...i like mystery. I think there should be an address somewhere, the web address just to let ppl now what the shirt is, and maybe get a few more ppl looking at the page/joining the list. So put the Fork on the front, put SOMMS List, Posting with our Good Eye Closed on the back and maybe a little logo just to fill up the back a bit. I guess we have to find out the cost, and it's cheaper if we order in bulk, So ppl go out and find a place you can screen print shirts and see what the cost is for say 100 shirts. There are 300+ ppl I think , but don't expect everyone to buy a shirt. Now, will be be done by May?
