I just checked the MTV part of AOL, and they listed the videos they were gonna play during the special. No mention of Soundgarden. Of course, one of the first videos they talk about is "Smells like Teen Spirit". Now there's a shocker, huh? As if there's a person alive who hasn't already seen that video thirty million times. Here's a list of the videos that will be played: Part of 120 Minutes "The Decade in Videos" Airs: 3/31 @ 2pm, 5:30pm and 12midnight (ET/PT) 1.The Cure/Just Like Heaven 2. Nirvana/Smells Like Teen Spirit 3. Jane's Addiction/Been Caught Stealin' 4. R.E.M./The One I Love 5. Live/Operation Spirit 6. Green Day/Longview 7. Smashing Pumpkins/Siva 8. The Smiths/How Soon Is Now 9. PJ Harvey/Down By The Water 10. Depeche Mode/Personal Jesus 11. Offspring/Self-Esteem 12. New Order/Two Face 13. Midnight Oil/Beds Are Burning 14. Hole/Doll Parts 15. Love and Rockets/So Alive 16. Red Hot Chili Peppers/Knock Me Down 17. Pixies/Here Comes Your Man 18. Beastie Boys/So What'cha Want? "120 MINUTES: THE DECADE IN VIDEO" The Red Hot Chili Peppers host this two-hour video collection of some of the biggest and most important alternative artists who have appeared on the series from 1986 through the present. Videos featured include: Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," R.E.M., "The One I :Love," Green Day "Longview," Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Knock Me Down," Depeche Mode, "Personal Jesus," Beastie Boys, "So What'cha Want," New Order, "True Faith," and the Pixies "Here Comes Your Man." And to think I e-mailed them like thirty million times to play "Flower". Those sorry bastards. Of course, there's still a chance they may play SG, but I wouldn't bet on it.

He should write more. >-Meatballll I like Drawing Flies too. Matt Cameron wrote the music but Chris Cornell wrote the lyrics, which I love. I have to think long and hard about what one song I'd want to hear if I could only listen to one. I've been thinking about something lately. Everyone is excited about the new album and everything, and of course I am too, but does anyone else feel kind of possessive of Soundgarden and their music. I've been obsessed with them for almost 7 years now. We started out seeing them when they were touring with a bunch of thrash bands and Danzig. I love seeing them in smaller venues because the music sounds better and the feeling is so much more intimate. But I've liked other bands who started out small and then got big and it really felt kind of alienating because they then had to play the crowded arena shows and just all of a sudden seemed so far away. I don't want that to happen with Soundgarden. I know that's selfish because they deserve all the fame they want, but does anyone else fear getting lost in the shuffle if they get really popular. I mean, we've stuck by them through thick and thin and I really feel protective and possessive. Any thoughts?

Hey, Shroomie, You mean me?? I was reading over this height debate and saw you asked where I was. What can I do for ya?? The height thing? Well, I've never been next to Eddie Vedder, and don't care to be. I've been told he and McCready are both around 5'5" or 5'6". He's a short little shit, in other words. CC is tall...I'll take a guess here based on a few observations I was able to make last summer. CC was backstage at a rahter important Inflatable Soule show. My guess is that brother Peter is a solid 6' b/c he's a little taller than my best friend who's about 5'11". Seeing CC with Peter, CC was maybe 2 inches taller...not a whole lot taller. Yeah, who was it that told me that fool Rikki Rachtman was a short shit too...maybe Jeff Gilbert....had to be, b/c he was at that MTV thing where they taped Sg bowling and we were cutting up Rikki the idiot at one time. Is that any help? And for anyone who cares...it's the Cornell boys who got the height--the girls are around 5'1" to 5'4"!! I was going to do this like Tuesday or Wednesday but since I'm posting today I'll just do it now--I'm off to Europe from April 4 until April 15. It's a school sponsored trip and no, I am not acting as a chaperone! Anyway, I'll be out of email contact from about 10 a.m. eastern time on Thursday until the morning of 4/15.

Ok, first off, I didn't find this on AOL. I heard it from my friend Ezra today when I was visiting him up at CD Warehouse, where he works. He said that during the last Dallas date, SG were up on stage playing... and some guy threw ice at Ben and pegged him in the face or eye or something. I must have totally missed this. Of course, if you put Chris Cornell in front of me, he's the ONLY thing I'm going to see. Anyway... Ezra (who plays bass, which is why he noticed this) said that Ben kept pointing to the guy who pegged him, and the security guards grabbed the guy and drug him forward. Then they held him so that Ben could kick him in the head. The guy went down, and Ben went back to playing. Now, usually I wouldn't believe something like that unless I saw it with my own eyes... but Ezra's a friend, and a pretty cool person. Plus he's in a local band that's getting kinda popular, so he knows what it's like to have malicious gossip spread about him. He wouldn't lie. I know I'm going to get flamed like hell for posting this... but y'know... I really couldn't care less. I'm just sharing what little SG info I can get my hands on. You're welcome!!

I agree that chris' singing then isn't as good as it is now, but a balloon losing it's air? that is too harsh. > more afraid of my cd player than i am when i listen to sabbath. and as far > as vicious opening licks go, i can think of other garden songs that blow it > out of the water. for instance, room a thousand years wide. most of the I'm not sure that anyone was trying to say that it was the best opening riff that soundgarden have recorded, but that it is one of the best. it's probably got to be as good as room, and maybe better than fourth of july (am I slitting my throat here joe?). the start is better and has more depth when they play it now, I'll grant you, but the original is nothing to scoff at. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: blowing the pieces...

Ultramega Ok was one of those albums that I buy, listen to (I mean fast-forwarding to the beginning of each song to see if it catches my ear), and then put away. But last year, I got it out again, and listened to it, and it's been one of the most played tapes while driving. Temple of the Dog is probably the most played, but that's not the point. The point is, it took a long time to get used to it, even though I didn't listen to it long. By that I mean, I listened to TONS of other Soundgarden stuff, but I hardly ever listened to Ultramega OK. But when I decided I'd give it another chance, I loved it. Not because it was better than the other Soundgarden, but because it was different. You see, I was expecting it to be like their other albums. But it's more bluesy, and less refined, and even a bit darker, in some aspects. But Mood for Trouble was one that grabbed me, because of the acoustic at the beginning, and then it turns into Chris screaming for his life, or something to that effect. The other song that grabbed me was All Your Lies. It's the chorus that I love. I'm not sure why I love it, but I think it's the way it flows. Anyway, it's just great.

That'd be too hard to yell when he's bad and you demand he return to his Rusty Cage, when he'd much rather be in a Room a Thousand Years Wide. You better get it fixed so it doesn't have Big Dumb Sex, or wake up the neighbors with Loud Love. Make suer he doesn't get into the Fresh Deadly Roses, or you might have a mess. But don't punish him too bad when he bites the Mailman, or he might hold his Head Down Like Suicide. Get him a nice collar so he doesn't feel Outshined by the Cold Bitch next door (the one he's having Big Dumb Sex with). Keep him outta the road so he doesn't cause a Limo Wreck, in which case you'd have to Kick(stand) his ass Half(way) into tomorrow. I hope the Spoonman doesn't get his Hands All Over your dog, 'cause I hear he's a sick fellow, and somehing like that might cause a Mind Riot. Alright, it's getting (been) lame, so Exit Stonehenge.

And Blind Dog, and Jackhammer, and Glenn (who told me what he thought this was some time ago before I asked the list). Yes, the "wakka-wakka" sound is what I mean. Okay, seems the muting, and/or the muffling strings, is what gives the sound I like. Jackhammer told me that what I hear in "Uncovered" is actually muffled strings, and that what I hear in RATM's "Bombtrack" is called muting. Harmonics, I'm not so sure of. Is this another technique altogether, or are you guitar freaks calling the same thing by different names??

Luckily Jackhammer responded for my answer would have been something uneducational like "it's black, it's salty, and it's yummy!!" :-) I thought that Vegemite could be picked up fairly easily in supermarkets overseas these days.

I won't bother with explaining the technique, but it produces a sustaining, almost piano or keyboard-like tone on a guitar. Sorry, that's a shitty description. :)> But you can hear good examples in the verse riff of "Limo Wreck", just before Chris starts singing, in the main riff of Mad Season's "I Don't Know Anything", AIC's "Rotten Apple" (there are harmonics everywhere, and I've seldom seen them used better), and the intro to Metallica's "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)". Hope I could help, Carolyn.. listen to a couple or all of these songs, and see if you can figure them out. ;)> Take care, Glenn ------------------------------ From: j_crocke@unity.ncsu.edu Subject: Re: falling from composure... > what *older* songs they like. and to make it more interesting (I hope), > I'll only except songs that are on soundgarden's first three albums: > namely screaming life/fopp, ultramega ok and louder than love. > personally, my favorite older song is "I Awake".. even though the lyrics were scribbled down by Kate, Chris creates a mood that is unequaled by any other singer out there now.
