DP>I hope so...Really looking forward to the next album. THANKS Nope, I doubt it. It was a tribute album, so I doubt they'll do another, unless another close friend dies. I wish they'dget together for at least a few new songs too. I love 'em. Although it was really Chris and His Band of Pearl Jam Except For Matt. If Chris wasn't in that band it would've been nothing. Speaking of this topic, I think Soundgarden wouldn't be the same if any one member left, but it would be most lacking if Chris left. Ok, now before you shoot me, listen. Who writes just about all of the music? Who writes most of the lyrics? Who has the voice that can stop a rhino at 30 paces? I know there's no drummer like Matt, and no guitar player like Kim, and no bass player like Ben, but they could be replaced easier than Chris. It might be lacking in that area a little, especially if Matt left. I guess drummers are hard to come by. But I would never want to see any of them leave, because I think they're all freakin' awesome.

True chris wrote the songs and yes they are beautiful songs, but it's nothing close to soundgarden. I personally would prefer to hear those songs done by sg but I don't forsee that happening in the future. It has taken me about 3 years to really like totd, because I don't like Mike McCreedy's guitar style. I liked him on Mad Season's album but not on totd. I don't know if it's the way it was produced or what. But the fact is it's not sg. Just think about it; without Matt, Ben, and Kim we wouldn't have the songs "Jcp", "Slaves and Bulldozers", Room a thousand Years wide, "New Damage", "Head Down", "Limo Wreck" , "superunk", "fresh tendrils" , "Mailman", "hands all over", "I awake", "flower" etc.. etc.. the other guys don't write as many songs as chris but just like chris they always write great ones, that become sg classics. It's just a question of quantity. The one thing you can defintely say about chris is that without him we would have to wait longer for new sg songs, and I know no one wants that. Sg is like a puzzle remover a piece and the picture is ruined, we are very lucky that they found ben after hiro left. He has really contributed alot musically. Okay that is enough of my ramblings.

I mean, the *only* way SG could have gotten the vibe of "Badmotorfinger," for example, was with Chris, Matt, Kim and Ben. It wouldn't have worked with any other combination. True, Chris writes most of the material, but I don't think the other three guys are exactly replaceable, if you know what I mean. I know that's not what you're trying to say, but I think Matt, Ben and Kim deserve just as much credit as Chris for making SG what it is. IMHO, at least.

Ok, now before you shoot me, listen. > Who writes just about all of the music? Well, let's just see, shall we? On the four major albums (I will deal with _Screaming Life_ and _Fopp_ separately), there are 51 songs, the music for 25 of which Chris Cornell did not write. Granted, that's less than half, but when you exclude "Smokestack Lightning" and "One Minute of Silence" because they're covers, you wind up with Chris Cornell participating in writing the music for a MINORITY of the songs in Soundgarden's arsenal. As for the early EPs, the combination reissue does not have music and lyrics credits, but be sure of this: Cornell did NOT write the music for "Hunted Down," "Tears to Forget," "Nothing To Say," "Little Joe," and "Hand of God." So, even considering that Cornell may have written the music for "Entering," "Swallow My Pride," and "Kingdom of Come," that means of the 10 songs on the reissue disc, he wrote the music for at MOST those three, excluding "Fopp" because it's a cover tune. So tack on another 5 out of 8 songs not written by Chris, and this brings the totals to: Songs with music written by Chris: 27 Songs with music not written by Chris: 30 Soundgarden 101 will teach you about "Room A Thousand Years Wide," "Slaves & Bulldozers," "Flower," "Incessant Mace," "Hands All Over," and "Limo Wreck" -- these are generally recognized as staples of the Soundgarden diet. Chris did not write the music for any of these. Oh, I almost forgot: Cornell didn't write the music to "Heretic," "Blind Dogs," or "Kyle Petty, Son of Richard" either. seth ------------------------------ From: "Mercyhurst Prep Library" Subject: Re: Siamese Fighting Fish On 3 Mar 96 at 21:06, Jamesetta Simpson wrote: > >For those of you who have Inflatable Soule stuff (is it spelled right?), can > you > >get it at places like Camelot? > > I tried to order Inflatable Soule "So Sad" at the local chains, but they wanted > way too much and then they said it would take 3 to 4 weeks.

I agree, but I was just saying that the others could be replaced EASIER than Chris. There are a lot of guitar players out there, they might not be as good as Kim, and the sound might change a bit, and it might not be as complicated, but with tge reast of the original band, it wouldn't be that bad. And most of the songs Kim writes resembles the ones Chris writes, which is why their styles compliment each other so well. If Ben left, there wouldn't be those diverse songs like Half, and Head Down. But remember, the bass player has been replaced before, and it didn't have any badeffects on the band. In fact, it had many good effects. I think if Matt left it would make the biggest impact (other than Chris) because his drumming is so....what's the word.....I can't think of the one I want so I'll stick with freakin' awesome. But if Chris left, there wouldn't be those 27 songs, and there wouldn't be a kick ass singer and Soundgarden would be lacking a lot of lyrics. I know it would change the way Soundgarden is if any one member left, I was just stating that Chris does write some great songs and lyrics, and if he left Sondgarden would probably be no more. And Soundgarden is unique because each member puts their own things into each song, no matter who wrote it. So I am agreeing with the ones who say they would be different if someone left and was replaced, because it would probably be pretty hard to find someone who has the talent and ability of any of the members. Ok, I think I'm running in circles now, so I'll stop.

The integral members, the long standing members of Faith No More (and Faith No Man as it was originally known), any of whom without which Faith No More could be no longer, are bassist (Billy Gould), drummer (Mike "Puffy" Bordin) and keyboardist (Roddy Bottum), who met way before Jim Martin or Chuck Mosely even came on the scene... Comprimise - you couldn't have Faith No More exactly as we know it without Mike Patton - but that's like saying Faith No More wouldn't quite be the same without Jim Martin (note the change in guitar styles between Angel Dust and King For A Day..Fool For A Lifetime)... Sorry to be picky... Jackhammer. Useless trivia for the day - Courtney Love was one of the very first singers for Faith No Man and she was actually Roddy Bottum's girlfriend for a stint... ------------------------------ From: ShRooMGrLz@aol.com Subject: yaaaayyyy!!!! Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me... HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEEEEEEEEEAR SHROOOOOOOOM.... happy birthday tooooo meeeee!!!! Well, thanks to the advice of some of you wonderful people I RAN to the store this morning and snagged me some excellent SG vinyl!! Maybe my 22nd year won't be so bad after all!! When I got up this morning, "The day I tried to live" was on the radio. I'm taking that as a good omen. Yah... I have two tests today in my classes, but that's ok. Tonight I'm going out with some friends, and we shall shoot pool and drink beer in honor of (what else?) ME!! I am in SUCH an excellent mood!!! My boyfriend is coming to visit me on Friday, and we will spend the whole weekend blissfully riding roller coasters and seeing shows and eating Taco Bell (my fave) and drinking much black lemonade. And I found out that Ministry is going to be in San Antonio in May with (aaauugghh, toooo cool!!) The Jesus Lizard!! Life is so good. I wish there was some way I could share my happiness with y'all (especially Foreshocks). A SHROOM DECLARATION::: IF I MANAGE TO WIN THE LOTTERY ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT (or Saturday, or EVER), I WILL SPEND AS MUCH MONEY AS IT TAKES TO GET SOUNDGARDEN TO PLAY A PRIVATE SHOW JUST FOR US!!! Ummm... how much do they make per show? I think the lottery is up to like $12 million or something. Wow... I'm seriously hyper... guess I'll go to school now. Wish me luck on my tests!!

Unfortunately no one can give me an accurate date yet, but it's ranging anywhaere from March 23 to April 19! The art work took longer than anticipated and so the whole thing just got sent off about 2 weeks ago. For anyone who's curious about this band, I can let you know when the 2nd release is available.

Here's the meat and potatoes kids: My english teacher (David Pink) knows the saxophonist from BadMotorFinger quite well (Scott Granlund). He saw that I was listening to CD's everyday and asked what I was listening to, of course it was SG. He then related he know Scott and is in the process of getting his phone number or e-mail address (hopefully so I can give it out easier) so I can do an interview. It would really be cool to have an inside take on the creative process and if it all pans out I would like to get questions for the interview through the list. Admittedly he is an obscure interview for our purposes, but he was in the recording studio and we weren't. Any questions you wish to ask I will sort through (hopefully this pans through). Just put the word QUESTIONS in the subject line so I can compile them with relative ease.
