Well, as I heard that there was a clip on SG on the MTV News, I jetted over to the MTV AOL section, and copied the interview they had. Oh, and BTW I've added my own personal comments where I felt it necessary. And notice please that MTV sucks SO bad that they can't even spell Ben's last name correctly. It reads: - ------------------------------- Hi, I'm Kurt Loder with MTV News. *(Dork...) More than two years after blowing up major-big with its "Super-Unknown" album, Soundgarden returns to the racks next month with a new one, recorded at the Seattle home studio of Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard. Tabitha Soren visited the band on the set of a video shoot last weekend and filed this report. *(Was it just me, or was she being a bitch to Chris and Kim when she interviewed them after the '94 MTV Music Awards?) TABITHA SOREN, MTV News: Soundgarden named themselves after this pipe sculpture here at Seattle's Sand Point back in 1984. Over the past 12 years the first local act to attract major label interest here has had platinum records, a Grammy award, and their last album even debuted at number one. So of course Seattle's dour sons were worried that main stream exposure might dilute the intensity of their music, all evidence to the contrary on their latest "Down On the Upside." MTV: The first video for "Down On the Upside" is for a song with an unlikely title: "Pretty Noose". SOREN: How are you approaching this video differently from others you've made? KIM THAYIL, Guitar: Well, the director is a graphic artist who's been a poster artist that we've liked for a number of years, Frank Kosick. MTV: Soundgarden has consistently experimented with different video styles and directors, and by now quickly know if a director and an idea are gonna work out CHRIS CORNELL: It's pretty obvious if you're talking on the phone with the director and he starts talking about wanting the band shirtless with lipstick then, you know, OK, wrong guy. We'll get someone else. *(Ummm... I disagree, myself. I think that sounds like a GREAT idea... Y'know, I should become a video director...) SOREN: Can you tell me about the song apart from the video. What is a pretty noose? CORNELL: It's just sort of an attractively packaged bad idea, pretty much, something that seems great at first and then comes back to bite you. *(Kinda like bad acid, take-out sushi, and my last boyfriend.) MTV: As it turns out, Ben Shephard had real first hand noose experience. *(These people are idiots... S-H-E-P-H-E-R-D.) SOREN: As a kid you sat around tying nooses? I mean, I don't know if that's a common thing. BEN SHEPHARD, bass: Yeah you practice... you take a string... and we also had a sailor's book at home and we used to sit around and try and tie a whole bunch of different knots. SOREN: That's not quite as morbid somehow. CORNELL: What are you saying, you didn't hang little nooses around your Barbie and hang her from a light shade? *(Heheheh... guilty here...) MTV: With "Down on the Upside" carrying songs like 'Pretty Noose', 'Zero Chance" and "Blow Up the Outside World" it'd be easy to assume that the album's pretty dark. And you'd be right. THAYIL: It's a little bit sad, it's a little creepy. What's new? *(God, I can't WAIT to get my hands on the CD.) MTV: Chris Cornell offers a different perspective from those who see nothing but doom in the band's music. CORNELL: If you write a song about feeling bad in a particular way and then someone hears that song and they think, "Wow, I really identify with the way he felt when he wrote this so there's someone else out there who feels like me, I'm not the only one." What happens? They feel better, so even if it's a dark theme, it can actually have a positive effect. *(Ummm... if he really cares about cheering up SOME of his fans, he can start by taking off his shirt more often. Heheheh... ) KURT: Soundgarden. The "Pretty Noose" single will be out on April 23rd. "Down On The Upside," the album, will follow on May 21st. Soundgarden will also be joining the Ramones and Metallica on this summer's "Lollapalooza" tour, which kicks off in June. - ------------------------------ Well, that's it. Nothing really new.

(sorry, shroom!) you can download the player in advance from www.imusic.com. i'd recommend doing it now to avoid the rush and so you can get it configured in time... - --caryn ------------------------------ From: OponFam@aol.com Subject: SG Prized Possession On Wednesday nephend asked: >Had a thought for a new thread. How about if everyone says >what their most prized Soundgarden possesion is and why. After finding out how hard it is to get now, I'd have to say the SOMMS disc. I also have a little packet of info that was sent to me by SG's publicist (promo stuff, pictures, decals, etc.) that is special to me too because at that time I was trying everything in my power to get an interview with the band at one of their Chicago concerts ( 1992) and the publicist actually tried to set something up for me, but it was too last minute. During this couple of days of talking back and forth with this guy I felt really close to the band, and it felt pretty cool to know that he was actually talking to their manager, who was talking to them, etc, about something for me. So when I look at the stuff in the packet I think of how close I came to actually meeting my heroes. Unfortunately, the more popular they get, the less likely this could ever happen again, which makes it even more special. Thats enough, gotta go.

Sorry I'm taking so long, I've been pretty busy lately. I'm getting the definate prices for shipping today. I just compaired the prices I already got (which weren't exact anyway), and the prices Toni got for me, and some of them are pretty far off. Others are similar, so it looks like it's gonna be about $3 shipping for the US (free envelopes, and fast shipping), and about $2.50 for Mexico and Canada. And if you didn't see earlier, the shirts will be $8. Now I just have to figure up how much envelopes will cost (for those that aren't free), and all that other extra stuff. Should be just a few cents a piece, though. Nothingman -There's no risk in death. ------------------------------ From: Gail Subject: Re: Sound Zeppelin >From: Ross Filipek >I love Led Zeppelin, but I really don't think they had even a fraction of >Soundgarden's ability to handle odd time changes. How would you know this? I believe the musical challenges were really different back then. LZ set the stage for the bands that followed to take time changes to a different level. Progression. Today's bands are building on what LZ and other bands put in motion. You've got to be kidding if you don't think JPJ, JB, & JP could handle odd time changes. >They're both great bands, but (imho) SGis technically superior. As for technical superiority, imho, you've got to look at the generation difference in the music. They are playing different kinds of music!!! If I had to compare, I'd have to do it by individual. I'd take: Cornell over Plant - They can both have alot of soul, and can both scream the skin directly from your back, but Cornell has a greater range and a more natural and powerful voice. Bonham over Cameron - More power, fuller sound. They way he and JPJ were soooo, tight and together...driving the bassline. JPJ = Shepard - Haven't really decided yet. I think it's funny how different they are in their performance. Ben is all over the place, JPJ just kinda stands still and just goes off. Technically, they are both fab., with JPJ being neater in is execution. Page OVER Thayil - Now many of you probably won't agree with me on this, but I just don't see the big deal with Thayil. He's not doing anything new and innovative. His writing is okay. His performance is nothing to write home about. I just got Motorvision, and was shocked to see that Chris started Rusty Cage. All this time of was giving Kim the benefit, by saying "well, he does fuck it up in Rusty Cage". No, he just adds a bit more to it. In LZ, Page was experimental, going out on a limb, playing rock, country, blues, and generally pushing the bounds of guitar sound. Kim does not compare. What's your opinion?

They will cost $8.00 (everything is in american money, because that's all I know). Postage for the shirts will be as follows (these are just for ONE shirt): USA: $3.30 this includes an envelope, and it should be pretty fast Canada: $2.50* Mexico: $2.70* England and the rest of Europe: $5.00* Australia: $6.30* South Africa: $5.80* Korea: $6.30* *include $1.30 for envelope OUTSIDE THE US NEEDS TO ADD$1.30 FOR ENVELOPE! (just making sure) So, if you are from the US, and you ordered two shirts, you need to send $16 for the shirts, and $6.60 for the postage. If you are from England, and you ordered two shirts, you send $16.00 for the two shirts, and $10 for the postage, and $2.60 for the envelopes. That was just an example, so get the prices from above, and put them in their respective places, and add them up. Then, put the money in an envelope, and send the envelope to: Nothingman 104 RC Lane Friendsville, MD 21531 I put Nothingman instead of my real name so I know it's for the shirts, just incase you wondered. SO, send the money NOW so I can have the shirts made as soon as possible. I know everybody's waited long enough. The next message from me is the all the orders I have. Look at them, find your name, and make sure it's right. If it's not, tell me AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (which means right when you find a mistake). I cut and pasted, so it should be all right. If you have any questions, ask me NOW, so we can get this thing done. And if your country isn't on my postage list, tell me NOW so I can find out. I just skimmed over the orders and found the unique ones. Nothingman -The hand of God's got a ring about the size of Texas. ------------------------------ From: rc@gcc.cc.md.us Subject: SHIRT ORDERS!

I forget what the name of it was...the PJ nationwide live broadcast in October. Wow, I guess it was a while back. Anyway, SG did a great set. Of course, I can't remember what the hell they played, but that's the point of this post...weekend homework. I'll be digging out my recording of the show and listening to it this weekend. I'll also be watching my new Motorvision video several times this weekend. So I guess, I just want everyone to do the same and be prepared to answer all my questions on Monday, when I post again. BTW, this morning my friend called me at work and said that eMTyV had a little interview with CC about the new album. She was graceous enough to tape about 45 secs of it.

Comparing SG and LZ is like comparing apples and oranges. LZ was the first band to play rock/blues with *power*. Since power is the foundation of rock music today, one can argue that LZ has been an influence on every rock band with a powerful sound. That influence can be direct (like Aerosmith) or indirect (like SG). I'm not saying that every rock band starts out with the goal to sound like LZ, but the LZ influence is there regardless. Otherwise the groups of today might sound more like Bill Haley and the Comets. :) My point was that SG is better at writing odd time signatures than LZ was simply because that's the kind of music SG *writes*. It's not that LZ *couldn't* write odd times, it's that they *didn't*. LZ made a conscious decision to write songs in 4/4 and not 11/8. This doesn't make them any better or worse of a band, it's just a reflection of what was popular at the time. The feel of LZ's songs could *never* be duplicated by another band, including SG. But at the same time, the feel of SG's odd times couldn't be duplicated by LZ because of the individuals in the band. Here's my take: Cornell over Plant--For the same reasons you listed. Bonham vs Cameron--These two can't be compared. I've been playing drums for the last 10 years and have studied Bonham's work very closely. He's without question my favorite drummer, but his style and Cameron's style are very distant. Bonham's playing is all about power and brute force. No fancy stuff here. His goal was to just dig the shit out of everything, and it sounds *incredible*. If Bonzo was the king of power, Cameron is the king of finesse. He doesn't hit as hard as John, but he makes up for it by putting lots of grace notes and syncopated rhythms in the drum parts. They're both masters of their trade; they just play with different styles. Jones over Shepherd--I just think JPJ is more of a musician than Ben. I like them both, but JPJ is a great pianist and orchestral arranger as well. Ben's got a much cooler image, but I really think JPJ is a better bass player. Page vs Thayil--Two totally different styles. I don't know enough about guitar to make a conscious decision on this one. The Beatles, LZ and SG are the greatest rock bands in history. All we can really say about them is that they each played different styles of music, but each band played *very* well. And each have definitely left a mark of influence on every new rock band today. I'm done now. :) Ross - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Fri, 12 Apr 1996, Gail wrote: > How would you know this?

I'm sure we could argue this for days, but I'm *positive* that it's *not* an Internet broadcast. Having people call in questions would be pretty silly if it were a Net broadcast. It also wouldn't be done by satellite if it were on the Net. The info came from iMusic's Daily News section, which has nothing to do with events that iMusic itself is hosting -- it's just a bunch of articles that they gather from the news each day. How did you decide it would be a Net event? seth ------------------------------ Subject: speaking of Streamworks and Soundgarden... From: seth I received word today from someone who stumbled upon 5 40-second clips of new SG tracks while browsing the default servers that come with the Streamworks software. I checked them out (they were on the Radio Nowhere server, "Streams 2" for ISDN and 28.8k connections, "Streams 3" for 14.4k and 9.6k connections) and though the quality isn't the best (compression will do that), it's good to finally hear new music. The available songs are as follows: 1. Pretty Noose 2. Burden In My Hand 3. Blow Up The Outside World 4. ?? 5. ?? As you can see, I couldn't figure out what titles went with the last two tracks. If anyone has any idea, let me know!

I kinda lost your email address :( Mail me and tell me how much moolah I owe you :> foreshocks ------------------------------ From: ShRooMGrLz@aol.com I think the strangest place I ever heard Soundgarden was in my Comp II english class. I was living in Austin at the time, and my professor made us fill out these "get to know you" sheets. We had to answer the usual stupid questions, plus "If you were in the hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you?" Well, of course I put down Chris Cornell... but I had thought that the prof had meant in the SAME bed, lying next to me. So the next time we had class, she had us read our answers out loud to the class. Some chic said "I would want my grandfather in the bed next to me, because he's dead now, and I didn't get to know him as well as I would have liked to." I looked at her, and said "I thought I was sick and twisted... jeez girl... you have PROBLEMS." Then, of course, everyone jumps all over ME, because I'm telling this girl she's weird 'cuz she misses her grandfather... and then they explained it all to me. Ummm... oops!! My mistake!! Suddenly I'm the class clown. So I told everyone why I would want Chris in the bed "next" to me, and I kept going on and on and on about Soundgarden's music. The prof was so impressed by my babbling, she brought a portable boom box to our next class and played some Soundgarden... while we were taking a TEST!! She played it loud, too!! I couldn't believe it!! Awesome!! A quick question for all you school people... do you do the same thing I do? In EVERY paper I write, I find SOME way to incorporate Soundgarden into it. Sometimes I throw in song lyrics... sometimes I name characters after the guys... and when they're really open with our topics, I write about Chris' sexy body. Heheheh... that's been REAL popular with some of my profs. I guarantee... in every course I take... everyone in that class will leave with a decent amount of SG knowledge. Even the people who hate them. Obsessions are weird things to have. Ummm... the second weirdest SG music thingy I've experienced was when I was shopping at the mall in Gadzook's, or something. They always have music videos playing, and I think some dance song was on when I got in there. I ignored it... until the next song came on... "Black Hole Sun"!! So I plopped myself down in the middle of the floor, right in front of a monitor, and refused to move until it was over, even though I've seen the video thiry million times, and I'm sick to death of it. And what song did they play NEXT? New Kids On The Block. Is that insulting, or what? It was disgusting. I complained to the manager, but I think he was pissed at me for blocking one of his aisles for like four minutes. I never win. Ummm... one more thing... Nothingman, you know I love you... and I can't thank you enough for taking care of our shirts for us, 'cuz you're doing an excellent job... but if you post my parents address ONE more time, I'm going to kill you. Shroom Time for musician jokes... - - A guitar player walks into his rehearsal room to find his drummer and bass player fighting. He breaks the fight up and asks the bass player why they were fighting. The bass player tells him that the drummer had de-tuned one of his bass strings.
