But I also specifically remember in either a SG or PJ interview that they said that Seattle, as well as most of Washington, hate California. They called people from California "Californicator's", which I find extremely funny . . . I don't know if this means anything to the song or not, but it's an interesting side note.

Well guys, unfortunately I miss Soundgarden on SNL, it's not my fault that I don't have antena or cable sistem (Damn it! I use to have that channel but my cable sistem remove it, fuck!). Well it's not the end of the world and I still have the hope to see them live. To the people who did see the performance of my favorite band, my best whishes. ROBIN. BYE Love is LIke SUicIDE ------------------------------ Subject: At Fucking Last! From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 Yes, in one hand lies the new Soundgarden CD DIGIPAK, in the other a Chris Cornell signed dollar bill. Beside me lies the new Wildhearts album and the sickeningly disappointing new Metallica single (I only got it for the b-sides... ). Life is indeed good. Cheers, BC ------------------------------ Subject: Hater From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 I've just got the Hater album after 3 years of promising myself to do so - and it's fucking excellent! You can definately see some SG stuff in there courtesy of Ben, stuff similar to 'Half' and 'Head Down', and John McBain fucking rules. Monster Magnet's 'Spine Of God' is one of the best LP's of all time IMHO and I always wondered what happenned to him after he left. 'Blistered'. What a cover. Rockin' stuff... Cheers BC ------------------------------ From: Malvol7@aol.com Subject: SNL reviews I haven't had time to read the digest since Thursday so someone may have already posted this info, but there were several reviews of SG in NYC papers...so if anyone is interested just let me know and I'll post them here. Also I have 3 of the black and white photos of SG that SNL used for their promos if anyone is interested...sorry they're not all autographed (I'm keeping that one!) but they're still very nice photos. ------------------------------ From: Gonzo Subject: Re: ...give the wolfboy a glass of water At 11:20 PM 5/19/96 -0500, you wrote: >And Chris singing that little bit of Working Man, well, >Rush will never be the same.:) Hey, there's a duet >possibility....Chris and Geddy Lee! > Now,that is duet I'd like to see,both can reach the upper registers.

Hey ya, >where were you lee? didn't you see me in my kickstand uniform? and what >of you jackhammer? were you there? We both made it. I don't think you told me who to look out for so didn't know about the kickstand shirt etc. Oh well, another time. I think I remember a dude in a kickstand shirt walking around :) I was the one in the Sonic Youth shirt. Jackhammer and me did meet up a least which was pretty cool, eventually we'll run into everyone in brissy I guess. BTW i got the digipack version, just seemed a cooler/different packaging the the same old CD case. Yeah the digipack will probably get damaged quicker, just means I have to take more care of it or something. It's cool packaging I think :) Yeah, the poor dude cooking up the top :) he cooked up a fair bit of food for the small numbers, there was another one cooking at hmv I was told. As for winning the prizes, no luck, we hung around utill the draw at about 12:45am or so, didn't win (the had 4 ppl drawn, trying to get someone that hung around in the shop something to win, but it didn't happen) I don't think a Justin got called out, and I can't remember Little Joe's name. So maybe still in with a chance. > btw, I don't like the artwork on dotu as much as I like >superunknown, but it should grow on me. what do you all think? Yeah, artwork on the liner notes isn't that exciting, but oh well :) The music is well and truly fine :) listened to it about 3 times I guess, didn't like it that much, hmm it's ok, yeah not bad...then it hit like a sledge hammer :) this is damn cool stuff :) Now I think its on perminent rotation. Like everyone said I am singing along to Blow Up.... already!!!! How catchy is this song!!

It wasn't the best performance I've seen, but I get giddy just thinking about it. I knew, along with PN, they would play Burden in my Hand, or at least I prayed for them to play it. BIMH is not my favorite off the album, but it does go down smoothly. I think they were a bit intimidated by the fact the they were live on TV, being broadcasted to zillions of people across the planet. And by the fact that the notorious Jim Carrey was hosting. All in all I think they took it easy and decided not to spend to much energy on it. I thought it was cool that they were all on stage at the end of the show. It is tradition that everyone be on stage at the end, but I have seen some bands or performer not come on stage at the end. I didn't notice it while watching the broadcast, but watching the video I noticed, Kim giving Jim Carrey a big hug. 20 million dollars per movie and now a hug from Kim, some guys have all the luck. All this aside, they were pretty good. Now, how they looked is a totally different topic. I just have one thing to say, "What's up with Chris' hair?" I realize it's thick, but did he have to have it sticking up like that. My theory is, he was trying to look as unattractive as possible. No mousse, no combing, just that "Fuck it " look. Well, I hate to tell you, Chris. You FAILED. After awhile me and my roommates started praying for camera close-ups. The hair just made him look more fascinating. And one of my roommates, a fairly calm and quiet young woman, kept talking about how good CC's strumming arm looked. Chris wore black, no surprises there. As for the SNL, it was the funniest I'd seen in years. I've heard rumors that it may be the last show ever. The end of an era? Can't to hear what the rest of you thought of the show.

I have to comment on your statement about Ms Susan Silver...and "how she probaly has a close eye on you" ...I myself believe that Mrs."Cornell" is a very secure woman who does not really have the time nor possess the personal insecurities to have have to keep her eye on anyone commenting about wanting her hubby, Chris. I also think that Chris is really secure with his choice in a wife, and does not even look at other women....at least not in the way all us crazed Chris Cornell lovers would hope he would. I'm sure Ms Silver has heard it all before, ya know... how everyone wants her hubby. As far as me jumping Chris,...I am not that crazed! lol. I don't have any desire to attact Chris nor see him naked...Don't get me wrong...I think he is a luscious GOD! But I'm alittle to mature to do anything execept shake his hand, ask for an autograph, talk to him some.. or get a hug. Maybe I am losing out..because I feel like that..but that's just me. I think that Chris and and the rest of the band members would apprieciate and respect me more for that belief. As for my opinion regarding your comments about wanting Chris......I have to say..."YOU GO GIRL!!!!!" SGardnGrl. ------------------------------ From: mansruin@sirius.com (Man's Ruin Inc.) Subject: somms list Hello everyone.I did subscribe to somms about 2 weeks ago and am having a great time reading your posts every day.I have looked all over the web for music sites,and we are all lucky to have seths page and this sight/list whatever it's called.Most other one's suck.I don't have a television,and have been missing out on the appearances you all have been talking about...It seems that Cornells performance on SNL was weak,but they where in a gross TV studio with a shitty soundsystem,and entirely out of context.I imagine a singer draws a lot of energy from the situation,and given such a lame one it would be hard to do a good job.The last time I saw SG live was in Texas,back in 1991,and it was amazing.It's a shame they only play huge arenas anymore,every one should have an opportunity for a more intimate setting.Perhaps they'll do some smaller shows again someday.The new album is amazing,I'm really into Rhinosaur,but my all-time favorite song is still Mailman.However,a friend is sending me the somms cd,which I havent heard,and I have great hopes for their cover of Into The Void. As an aside,last night I caught Zeni Geva at their last show on the current tour.They have a new drummer,a guy that drummed for Dazzling Killman,and it was insane.I'll be deaf for days. Frank Kozik ps.After reading some of your topics I realize that the true way to riches would be the manufacture of life-size Chris Cornell "Birthday-Suit" shower curtains.I'll look into it. ------------------------------ From: cs95ajs@brunel.ac.uk Subject: I GOT IT!!! OK so some of you have had it for ages, but I just got my sweaty little hands on DOTU and it's fucking ace! I also got Fell On Black Days (a little late I know :) ) - weird to hear the demo version of FOBD, I wonder why they didn't use it - it's excellent. Enough of my drivellings, Andy. ------------------------------ From: ansel@morgan.com Subject: Wolfboy...the schmuck SG intimidated by SNL? No. An inadequate sound system? No. Uncomfy in an awkward TV atmosphere? Bullshit. Chris just doesn't respect his own gift. He treats his natural vocal ability like an afterthought and abuses it. He knows damn well he should vocalize before a performance, yet it was obvious he hadn't even hummed to himself before SNL. And he was so apologetic and embarrassed a couple of years ago when tour dates were canceled solely because his voice caved (they opened with JCP on that tour - ouch!). Nobody can enter screaming and expect their lungs to handle it. Remember our discussion about whether SG suck live, and remember I (& SG themselves) said they were 'an inconsistent live band'. Well, it's Chris's fault. Do we need to call Silver Mgmt. to ask Susan to drag him to the doctor by the ear, so it can once again be slowly and carefully explained to him in detail that he is being a very bad boy and jeopardizing his career as a vocalist by shredding his cords like we all witnessed on SNL. And I can't imagine the cigarette he was puffing on during 120 Minutes helps any. Wolfboy doesn't need a glass of water, he needs a swift kick in the ass. As for the strained facial expressions - that's what Chris's face looks like when he sings. It's always looked that way, only he has been hidden behind the hair so long, most are surprised when they actually get a look. -Vikki, pissed ------------------------------ From: Jentje Subject: ...another SNL review... Hi! This was the first time in years that I actually watched SNL. Well, seeing as I had to suffer through that whole show, it would've beem nice SG sounded a little better. I (like most of you) thought that Chris sounded nervous when he sang Pretty Noose, there were even notes at the begining that sounded a tad off key. I'm glad he sounded so much better for Burden In My Hand. But, ooh lordy, the hair???? It's kinda a "Hi I just got out of bed" type of look don't you think? Oh well, we'll see what he does to his hair for Lolla... I couldn't help but laugh at all the funky faces Matt does when he's drumming, it's so cool. Totally un-SNL related: Okay, for those of you who don't know, Muchmusic is having this type of love/sex type of weekend next week. On their homepage, they have a poll for people to pick one of their top 4 or 5 choices of sexiest male/female singer and male/female band. I went in to take a look, and for one of their sexiest males, they had Chris Cornell. Of course, I'm voting for him. Whoever wants to go and their vote (you can vote again and again...) for Chris, just go to their webpage: http://www.muchmusic.com then click the Muchmusic logo, then you'll see a place that's sponsered by Shields condoms, and that's where you go.

I didn't see the SNL performance, because in Shroomland, staying home on a Friday or Saturday night is a sacrilege. Even my beloved Soundgarden isn't enough to keep me home on a weekend. But I've heard all the great reviews of it, and I think that you should be the one lucky enough to get to beat the hell out of Chris. Ummm... but if you don't want the honor, can I do it? Oh yah... and regarding "Wolfboy's" hair... if he really is growing it back out... let me fall to my knees in thanks to whatever higher power made him decide to do it. Don't get me wrong... Chris is great with short hair, "wolf" hair, or even bald... but there's something about that long hair that is SUPER S-E-X-Y!!!! Sorry people... had to write it.

I felt obliged to do the same. 1. Into the Void 2. Hunted Down 3. Loud Love 4. Black Hole Sun 5. Flower 6. Jesus Christ Pose 7. Mind Riot 8. Like Suicide 9. Ugly Truth 10. Outshined 11. Stray Cate Blues 12. Burden in my Hand 13. Rusty Cage 14. Angel on Fire 15. Gun 16. Hands All Over 17. FOPP(dub) 18. Limo Wreck 19. Hand of God 20. Head Injury Those are just kind of off the top of my head. While thinking of those, a couple of the worst SG songs came to mind. Before you flame, "worst" is a relative term. SG is far superior band to any other around; a bad SG song is infinitely better than anything Green Day has or ever will put out. No order: Spoonman; Little Joe; I Awake... hmmmmm that's about all I can think of.

The other sex god, besides Chris!! Anyway... he's doing this live interview right now on Q102, and I'm listening to it for clues to find out where his relatives live at so I can effectively stalk him. Heheheh... just kidding. If I were going to REALLY stalk him, I'd be sitting outside of the Q102 studios right now, waiting for Jerry to come out. Actually, I'm still considering it. But all that's beside the point. Anyway... Jerry was talking about his dad, and how he wrote the song "Rooster" about him. I guess Jerry's in town to go fishing with him and his cousin Les (what a name), and other relatives. Am I fully babbling yet? Good. Ok, so he's talking about how his dad served 3 terms in Vietnam (36 months). I guess he's still something of an army type person (or whatever you'd call him). When they go fishing, Jerry Sr. is in charge. Jerry was joking about how when his dad said to open the gate, you had better do it quick. Then he starts singing... "Gateman... better open that gate fast as you can..." to the tune of Spoonman, of course!! I wish I was taping this. New AiC album coming out in August, all acoustic stuff and one new song. Hey... at least there was SOME SG content in this post!! I think I'm out the door to the studio, heheheh... if you guys don't hear from me anymore tonight, then I've been arrested 'cuz of Jerry Cantrell. Wish me luck!!!

OK...first off, I'd like to agree in how Chris sucked in PN. I think none of us will know what was it: no confidence in his voice, nervousness, or just plain lack of warm-up. Second off: I bought this magazine of Guitar and there's an interview with Def Leppard(hey, I bought it, might as well read all it's got.) Ok and check out these exerpts from the article: Phil Collen: "There's great new stuff coming around, something from another generation, and I think you've got to embrace it and try to understand it. I like Soundgarden." Vivian Campbell: "I don't have a sympathetic ear for a lot of thrashy bands. I really like Soundgarden because of the quality of the songwriting, Chris Cornell's voice, and the production. Do any of you guys really think the guys said this?? Yes!! Even Def Leppard(which I don't like.). It makes me think of the wide range of listeners the SG must have...C-Y'all! ------------------------------ From: "Kyle Petty, Son of Richard" Subject: 120 min. Sorry for poting again but...was this matt the same that interviewed SG on the Rockline thing. I was thinking about that because when they were talking about the PN video (when Chris said that there wereno nooses on it), Matt said how they couldn't put a world blowing for Blow up TOW OR HOW THEY COULDN'T POSSIBLY MAKE IMAGES FOR BURDEN IN MY HAND. Matt started to crack up but had to move on 'cause Chris and Kim didn't pay any attention to his comment. Soooooo, here's the reason why I suspect Matt is the same as the one on Rockline: He laughed at the idea of putting images to Burden... And the only thing that would make me laugh at that is KNOWING that Cameron had a pretty nice interpretation of Burden...

I had this feeling, and I was right. My inner voice just told me to stay up late Sunday night, no matter how tired I was....to see if Soundgarden was going to be on!!!! And my intuition was right...last week I was trying to find out from anyone in somms if SG were supposed to be on Sunday...but I didn't get any reply. It was well worth the lost of sleep to see Chris and Kim...being their usual humorous selves...but I did miss Matt and Ben.

I think a hair/pop band like def leppard would wish that they could write quality music as well as soundgarden can. it's good that they realise good music when they hear it, but it begs the question: if you like songs like mailman and she likes surprises, how can you sing 'pour some sugar on me' and be sincere? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: black lemon days...

I sometimes wonder how that demo version could actually be a demo of fell on black days. it doesn't really bear much resemblance to what ended up on superunk, the only similarity being most of the chorus, and even that is different. a while back I read a couple of articles that talked about fobd, and how it was more of a pop arrangement than anything the band had previously recorded. I don't listen to much top 40 music (unless we're talking pn at 24 with a bullet), but the demo version sounds very unlike a pop song. does anyone think it is actually just a different version, something they were just fooling around with? maybe something they actually recorded *after* the superunk sessions? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Chris Mackenzie Subject: Sick of Shitty Reviews I have read to many shitty reviews of DOTU, and its pissing me off. Its so blatantly obvious that the reviewers are only listening to the album once and judging it from there. It takes a few listens before one can even begin to understand where the band is coming from on each album. Soundgarden are not "one-hit wonders" like much of the crap on the market today... they are not a shallow band - SG has depth to their music. Every time I listen to a Soundgarden album I notice things that I have never noticed before that make me respect and enjoy the music even more. There is just so many different sounds and ideas coming across in their music that even if you listened to an album 100 times you'd still find new things to catch your attention. Basically I'm just sick of reviewers that listen to SG and expect to be impressed and awed the first time they hear a new SG tune, thats not what SG's music is all about. ------------------------------ From: rea49625@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (Rebecca Agrait) Subject: i count the moon today???!!?? hmmm..this is weird. while watching eMpTyV tonight i put the tv on mute while listening to the copy of the soundgarden rarities tape eric sent me (thanks!) well anyways pretty noose comes on so i jump out of my bed and crank it. ive already seen the video, but what can i say. well anyways out of some weird insight i decide to put the TV on close captioning. well check this out in the beggining of the song the close captioning says "I count the moon today.." count??? according to the official web site, seth's lyrics page, and everybody else it is "I caught the moon today" im sure this is what the lyrics on the record says even though im not 100% sure, cuz i have to wait till tommorow to buy me a copy of DOTU. anyways i also noticed some funny comments while on close captioning ("electric guitar playing power chords", "electric guitar plays solo"). Did anyone else notice this mistake??? or am i the only person who watches videos with the close captioning on sometimes??? and who the hell gives the close captioning company or whatever they are these incorrect lyrics??? well sorry for the long post, but i just had to vent some frustration (this being finals week, everything irritates me).

I don't have sexual feelings for him (I'm Hetro) but I have to say this: I knew it all along!!! Ben is being the hailed as the real innovator for this album, and rightfully so! Look at this list: Face Pollution, Somewhere, Head Down, Half, etc . . . These are the tracks that really pushed the limits on the previous albums. It's really easy to see that Ben has become an important part of the creative process. (BTW, does anyone have a demo version of Half?) It's weird but Soundgarden ussually has an innovative bassist (can't include everman). "I Awake" is my fav LOL track and Truly rocks. Chris may have the killer vocals, Kim: the killer licks, Matt: great rhythm . . . but Ben writes the music that pushs the band. Flame Away! This all makes me want to restart the work I was doing on my Ben homepage!!! always random, Mayor McCheese XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Ben thought to put "Stray Cat Blues" on Somms and thank god he kept the band from doing a song for Kiss MY Ass (KiSS Sucks, they're 4 Human Gimmicks [ie.

The major change that > happened there was the advent of Ben Shepherd...one would deduce that he > was responsible for a lot or all of the change. good call. ben has, in my mind, made soundgarden a better band. not to say that their rise wasn't affected by kim, chris and matt's musical development, but it seems to me that their music after louder than love made a big leap into something that was very different to what they had previously played, probably for the most part because of ben's input and influence. not to knock hiro, because he was certainly cool, but I think ben outclasses hiro in most respects. can any bass players (or guitar players for that matter) say who out of hiro and ben is actually *better* on bass? are there any list members who prefer the hiro-era soundgarden to the ben-era soundgarden? as much as I don't like half, I'd rather listen to head down or dusty than most of the stuff hiro wrote for ultramega or ltl. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Limo Wreck" Subject: Soundgarden fans (def leppard) So people are wonderinfg what other bands are fans of Soundgarden... FIRST: Soundgarden is a mucisians band. Other good bands like them (i.e. Metallica, AiC, King's X, Ramones, Monster Magnet and Paw). They combine great mucisianship with awesome lyrics and a creative intensity that is rivaled by few (see Monster Magnet). People admire Soundgarden for their music and they way they "made it". They started out in the shit-holes, building a small local following, and staying in control of the directions they were taking. SECOND: Soundgarden will never be a "music reviewers" band. There is too much depth and meaning to Cornell's lyrics to understand everything in a week's time and write a review. The music is too intricate to pick out everything in one or two listens. And people who write about bands are too often listening to crappy music in the background when they write it . THIRD: With all of today's technology's, more people are tuned in to TV and pop culture media. So, when eMpTyV, SPIN , and Rolling Stone say bow to bands mentioned in previous paragraph, the people do, because most people are so gullable and basically stupid. If you told them Darius Rucker (of Fishblow fame) was gay, they would burn his CD's, but they liked him before? FOURTH: ok.. you people lookin for some more good bands--->Monster Magnet, Paw, Hum, Pop Will Eat Itself, Melvins, Supersuckers.. well. just ask anyone on the list. Most have good tastes.

Yes, this is pretty fucking ridiculous. But my feeling is that it is not a band decision -- perhaps not even a decision the band knows about -- but a decision on the part of the management or the record label to preserve their interests. What I don't understand is what interests they need to protect that necessitates aiming corporate lawyers at a company that has managed to make itself into quite a success story by using the Web, presumably by offering a ton of records online, not because its name is The Sound Garden. The main problem is that corporate lawyers do not know thing one about Internet law (the Internet being a lawless medium, for the most part), and that as the forwarded press release pointed out, Internic assigns domain names on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are actually people who have made quite a bit of money by registering domain names like www.mcdonalds.com and then asking the company to purchase the domain name from them for huge sums of money. And guess what? There's no law that governs such matters. So I would guess that the outcome of this will be nothing but negative publicity on the band, something they really don't need right now, and the domain name situation remaining exactly the way it is. I'm trying to get more information about the situation ASAP. seth ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: on the subject of lolla... from another list/place.... >Lollapalooza... $42.75 for a ticket.

I knew it reminded me of Zeppelin and now that you mention Gallows Pole, thats it! Good call. As I sit here waiting for tomorrow to come so I can finally get Dotu, I've been thinking alot about this list and I just have to do some gushing. Seth is always thanking us for helping to make things a success, but I want to thank Seth and everyone on this list for making this period of anticipation an exhilerating experience for me. If it wasn't for this list I'd be waiting in that weird void that I know most if not all of you have experienced where you feel like you're the only one who really knows who Soundgarden is, much less cares about what they do. But with the list I've been able to share it with all of you and I don't feel alone anymore in this passion for SG. It is so cool to know you're all out there and are as excited about this album and everything Soundgarden as I am. I think we're being a little hard on Chris regarding his performance of Pretty Noose on SNL. Granted it sounded bad, but who knows why? Maybe he just wasn't warmed up (I know every band I've ever seen in concert takes a while to get warmed up and really sound good). SNL also seemed like a strange setting to me, after having seen them live several times. It seemed like the lights hurt Chris' eyes or something and he did seem nervous. Geez, imagine how he must feel! I swear, I've seen them live 5 times and I've never seen them give a bad performance, but sometimes it takes a few songs to really get warmed up. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox now. 8 1/2 more hours before I can get my sweaty little hands on that CD. Is anyone going to check out the live chat? > i don't like > the idea that they are monitoring our chat, or that they're going to watch > what we say (i mean, are they logging this chat?)
