For all you Canadians: Today on Much West Terry David Mulligan was down in Seattle interviewing Chris Cornell himself. Unfortunately the interview is to be played at a later date. The upside is (no pun intended) that Terry show a cassette with the title Down on the Upside. I got chills just seeing it. The cover inside the plastic case was just a white piece of paper. Perhaps this is the prerelease for radio stations and the like. Anyhow, just thought I would pass along this info. Greg P.S.

I'll try to figure it has chris done a lot of overdubbing with his vocals, a la fourth of july, or are you talking about something entirely different? and is it as rhythmic as spoonman, or is it kind of dirge-y like bhs? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: she's the real thing but you knew it all along... the votes have all come in for my ill conceived and poorly populated vote on our favourite songs from the pre-bmf era soundgarden, and the results are obvious (to me anyway) in some cases and a little surprising in others. surprising to me was that neither hunted down nor gun scored any votes at all. but perhaps the funniest one I got (and the one that typecasts it's sender), was carolyn voting for big dumb sex (now we know you're just in with the rest of them hootchies carol!). anyhow, to the votes. there were quite a few songs that received only one or two votes, and only a couple that really streaked ahead. the one that lead the pack was....beyond the wheel. a close second was hands all over, followed by loud love and a personal favourite by the name of little joe. the rest were as follows: hand of god, I awake, flower, uncovered, no wrong no right, full on kevin's mom, ugly truth, big dumb sex, nothing to say, circle of power and fopp. so now in a horrible follow up, I'm going to try and collate our favourite songs from the last two records. I am sure that we are all a little more familiar with the material from badmotorfinger and superunknown, so I should get a passel load more replies to this one. please limit your voting to *one* song from the two albums together, and please send the reply directly to me, otherwise the list just gets polluted with stuff other people don't want to read and that doesn't mean anything anyway. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Justin Philip Zachariah Subject: Re: No Claims Big Joe has a point with people parading around in the latest in the hip section being rather disingenous. I mean these people criticize others and consider themselves superior because everyone else is not on the same enlightened level of grungeness as they are. Now grungeness, if I may use the word, is ostensibly a reactionary movement to upper class and middle class lifestyle. When, however you examine the vast majority of grunge listeners, and who the music is in fact being marketed to (point goes to Bu Shi Bai Ren), it is this same group of people. But to characterize them as hypocrites and poseurs, is a bit rough I think. People are hypocrites on a regular basis.We live as hypocrites. We have to. Is it acceptable? No, not for those who know. For those who realize the hypocrisy, it behooves us to fight it. But for those who do not realize, they should not be criticized for their ignorance. In this case, as in most cases, ignorance is a damn good excuse. And for those who know and can't find the strength to change, can we really fault them for being weak? The most challenging thing for someone to do is not to enforce inaction but to compel action. Can we expect people to be better than they are? We have no right to do so. We only have the responsibility to muster up the strength in ourselves and change. "I mean, Can't we all just get along.......";} zelux > >From: "Joseph A.

The opening bands were That Dog, not half bad, The Amps, wow they suck!! I can't believe that they opened for them!! The Foo Fighters were full of energy and the sound was great!

It's in 4/4, but it's not always in even numbers of phrase groups (like the first chorus, which repeats 3 times). I agree with Foreshocks in that rhythmically it reminds me of Nirvana's "In Bloom" -- at one point it even quotes that song (melodically) almost exactly. There is a guitar solo after the second chorus, and Kim and Matt go berserk. I've tried working out some more of the lyrics, but I'm afraid I didn't do a very good job. I got the motor _____ Pick it up and throw it away, all right I got the perfect stand (?)

Saw them last year. They're a really good show. Not as good as Nirvana, but yah I know... shouldn't compare the two bands. I guess I was expecting some of the magic that was always accompanying Nirvana... but it was just the Foo Fighters. Damn good music, but I 'spose I just had my expectations too high. Why? Hell if I know. I mean, it's not as though Kurt's long defunct ghost was going to materialize for a quick version of Polly, or anything.

Fair... as in real life, or in pictures? I'd imagine Chris has alot of spare time to catch some sun these days. Notice please... back in the days of Ultramega and LTL, he wasn't exactly a bronze god. God yes... tanned no. Well... not too tan anyway. Your friend has seen the Cornell parents? Together? They're divorced, though... and I'd been under the impression that they don't get along.

A very raw feel to it. The guitar solo in the middle "feels" like the guitar and drum combination in Kyle Petty, but it's sped up. I can picture the video already (though I'm thinking deserts and video scenes reminiscent of Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover" :-) Who remembers that vid? Kozik (sp) will do a great job...lot's of imagery for him to play with... This song isnt "soul music" like previous SG songs. ("No Attention" for example) But it seems aimed for maximum market saturation. It's not as pop as "Big Dumb Sex".

"Will Shroom say lascivious things about Chris Cornell's sexy body?" Your hostess today will be... me. Yeppers... it's Shroom, again. Today we will be discussing an interesting topic brought up by your friend and mine... UnKnMan!! Actually, Ray and I were talking on AOL last night, and he mentioned that he was trying to put a date on Chris Cornell's twisted fork. That got me thinking... which is kinda scary and sometimes it hurts... but I don't know exactly when the fork put in an appearance. I have a poster from "Peavey" that has Chris, Ben, and Kim on it... and he's got the fork then. And yes, the long hair was present. Does anyone have any idea of when the fork became a part of SG-land? I'm guessing sometime right after the filming of "Singles", but just before Lolla '92. Speaking of Singles... I watched it again today for like the 13 millionth time... and I still can't decide if Chris is drunk or just really stoned when he walks down the stairs to stand next to "Cliff". I almost got kicked out of the damn theatre when I first saw the movie. Almost got kicked out the second and fifth time too, for that matter. Does this sound familiar to some of y'all? "OHMYGAWD!!! IT'S CHRIS!! IT'S CHRIS!! IT'S CHRISSSSS!!! LOOOOK!!! AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!" And during the SG performance part "LOOOOK!!! IT'S CHRIIIISSSSS!!! HE'S HALF-NAKED!!!! AAUUUGGGHHH!!!!" Yah!! That was me!! I got pelted with popcorn and milk-duds by most of the audience. Ouch. Milk-duds hurt. I wanna know how come they didn't show us Ben's face during the performance clip. Is he really THAT shy? And why am I writing all this? I think I had another purpose of this post. Oh yah... the fork. Ummm... wait... I finished talking about that already. Next subject... A few of y'all expressed interest in getting on AOL to talk Soundgarden. How'z about this Wednesday night at say... 8pm CST? For you stupid people, that's 8pm central standard time. I know... alot of you people get on the IRC... but us pathetic AOLers can't get on an IRC channel. So shoot us. Anyway... we AOLers can meet in a private room called (now here's a shocker) "SOUNDGARDEN". If any of y'all don't know what the hell I'm talking about, and want in... just e-mail me and I'll lead ya through it. You're oh-so welcome.

At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum this past holiday weekend, I overheard an actual conversation that nearly caused me to wet myself laughing. A mother and her approximately 12 year old son were watching the TV in the Seattle display case. One of the video snippets was a live clip of a long-haired, bare chested, no facial haired Chris, singing, "Remember, I love you, love you." The moniker 'Soundgarden' appeared at the bottom of the screen as the clip ran. Kim, Matt & Hiro were never shown. The conversation was as follows: Kid (doubtful tone and expression): "Nooo. That's not Soundgarden." Mother (confused and maternally concerned): "What?" Kid (annoyed with the clip): "That's NOT Soundgarden." Mother (more confused): "Why?" Kid (frustrated, speaks slowly and sarcastically): "That...WAS NOT...Soundgarden. Chris Cornell...DOES NOT ...have...long...hair." HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa DEB, I think this should appear in the next issue of SYZYGY!

I started listening to Soundgarden when Louder than Love came out and I never really listened to their early stuff. I wasnt to impressed with much of it but they did have some cool songs.

It was present in the Jesus Christ Pose video, and I swear I saw it somewhere before that. Like during Louder Than Love, but I dunno. If I find it, I'll tell ya.

Since they come straight from Chris Cornell's mouth OP>I suppose they are valid. Even more valid straight-from-Chris'-mouth things. This one is from the interview in the October 94 issue of Request. Interviewer: Many of your songs, including "Black Hole Sun" and "Fourth of July," trade in dark, apocalyptic imagery. Does any of that flair for the dramatic come from your having grown up Catholic? Chris Cornell: "Yeah, I'm sure some of it does, but you wouldn't catch it in an entire song. Like "Jesus Christ Pose" people think is an angery religious reference, but it doesn't have a thing to do with that. That song was based entirely on seeing rock stars like Parrey Farrell or some top model doing these photo shoots where they were the Christ figure with this stupid ass crown of thorns and their arms out. It became fashionable to be that sort of persicuted-deity guy. It started to get annoying that people were trying to associate themselves with that, because they don't even know what it is, other than a symbol that a whole bunch of weak people deify." Is deify a word? I dunno. Maybe it was a typo, but it kinda looks like deicide.

When I read my post I realized, boy this sounds dumb, so I decided to find my sources and post those. Since they come straight from Chris Cornell's mouth I suppose they are valid. First, I have a video tape of Chris and Kim on Headbangers Ball in 1992. Rikki Rachtman asks Chris to explain JCP the way he had in another interview: Rikki:"You told why you made the song about people always using the crucifix..." Chris: "Yeah, mostly like fashion models, but sometimes rock stars. You know where you see like the centerfolds where they're kind of laid out like this" (he sprawls on the back of the couch with his arms stretched out)"Christ figure, persecuted mostly by being in a higher tax bracket I guess. But yeah, it just got kind of irritating." Then I have this article from Rock Beat magazine from March 1992 that says: The first single from Badmotorfinger is a Black Sabbath-y epic entitled "Jesus Christ Pose". "It isn't anti or pro-religious," explains Chris emphatically. "The cross is such a widely seen symbol that it's exploited in so many ways, from fashion models to rock stars, satanists to neo-Nazis. It's exploited more than any other symbol. The lyrics of the song are actually speaking out against that and are expressing being irritated by that. It has nothing to do with how I feel about Christianity or any other religion that uses or bears the symbol. If anything, it comes to the defense of the situations where it seems like it's being exploited for no particular purpose." So, for all those who take their lyrics so seriously, there it is.
