I love it when Chris screams "Witch!!" in Heretic... Dave ------------------------------ From: Heather Aston Subject: Kiss tour A couple of people have said that SG will be touring on the second leg of the Kiss tour this summer. I had heard that they weren't going to do it, because Ben *hates* Kiss. On this, I have to agree with Ben. Kiss seems to be more about superficial stuff (elaborate costumes and makeup, fireworks on stage,etc.) than music. People come to concerts to hear music. If your music is original and well done, it can stand alone. But if your music is ordinary, average, or even bad, you need a lot of trickery to distract the audience and keep them from realizing just *how* bad your music really is. ------------------------------ Subject: Re: erm, stuff From: Ben Timberlake >is anyone on here going to the first lolla date? seth, do we have anything >set up on the page for the tour? a place to report setlists and reviews, or >are we jsut posting here and then you;'ll appropriate it accordingly?

I think if Soundgarden going to go with a slower song, they will go with Burden in my hand. On the otherhand if they go with something that is on the heavier side I think they should go with Never the machine forever or Rhinosaur.

(end of e-mail) well i guess well see if they finally decide to update the SG info, if not i suggest some other people go to their page and let them know about it. - -hasswipee ------------------------------ From: Enrique Olavarria Subject: One last sin before im dead ive been listening to DOTU for more than 2 weeks now and finally decided to post something about it. i got into soundgarden with Louder than Love and this album is a lot different. it has very few of the things that first got me into their music. theres nothing in it like ugly truth, power trip, hands all over, gun or slaves & bulldozers, room a thousand years wide from BMF. i miss that stuff. so this is how it is for me: 1.Badmotorfinger 2.Louder than love 3.Superunknown and Down on the Upside 4.UltramegaOK 5.Screaming Life/Fopp however, i do think DOTU is a great album, it definitely is among my ten favourite albums of all time. Now specifically about DOTU: + I love pretty noose, the more i listen to it the more i like it (and it is getting overplayed on radio around here). + Dusty is one my favourites, IMO probably the best of ben's compositions (including Hater). + Ty Cobb is great, the mandolin kicks ass and the hard headed fuck you all part gives the song the strength i first thought it was lacking of. but however, i think this song is very far from the heavy and strong "get on the snake", "face pollution" and even "kickstand". + Blow up the Outside World is too Beatlesque for my taste but i seem to like it more everytime i listen to it. + I dont like Never Named at all. Its one of my least favourite soundgarden songs. i dont like the music, i dont like the lyrics and the vocal melody annoys me, especially the "im just a baby who looks like a boy" part. + Tighter and Tighter is my favourite, great song, it starts a great run on the album followed by No Attention (it rocks), Switch Opens (magnificently different), Overfloater (i wanna make it right), An Unkind (this song rocks, its got kind of a soft feel to it yet its fast and strong) and Boot Camp (couldnt have ended the album better). in Overfloater, after the "i wanna make it right" part comes something in 3/4 (am i right here?) and then it comes again. everytime i hear the song, and being used to soundgarden using odd timing, after the first 3/4 riff i always expect something like half of it like in 3/8 or maybe 5/8 but the 3/4 part is repeated. i always hum along the part i expect and not what actually comes. but maybe im not making any sense here since i dont know much about this 3/4 and x/y stuff. enrique. ------------------------------ From: rea47935@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (Rick Agrait) Subject: matt cameron and kennedy >Last night I was watching Beavis and Butthead, and after it was >Alternative Nation, and everyone was too lazy to get up, so we just sat >there, and Kennedy said, "Next is a song from Matt Cameron's band."

It was one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had listening to an album. I'm a bit surprised at the lousy reviews this album has received. I know we have to take them with a grain of salt, but that's not the point. I really think this is a great album, so why is it being panned so? I think it's important that we all somehow let SG know how much we like it, whether its through the fan club (I don't know if they actually see any of the letters and email that goes there) or through the online and live radio stuff. I feel like we're back in the Soundgarden Twilight Zone - we love it but the rest of the world hates it. Truthfully I thought it would be better received. Kathie ------------------------------ From: Nate Crosswhite Subject: Boot Camp I had a thought about Boot Camp: Maybe SG, or just Chris, is poking fun at Pearl Jam, and their habit of puting long, ethereal songs at the end of their CD's. Boot Camp certainly has some of the feal of Release and Indifference. But Boot Camp, as a lot of people have pointed out, seems to quit just as it gets good, while the PJ songs go on and on, 'til you're tired of them. It like Chris is saying "This is how it's done, boys". Eh, just a theory.

I might have seen a few pictures I have not seen, although I haven't seen all of the ones on Seth's. (It would take DAYS at 14.4!) It's not a bad-looking site, but only worth exploring if you are completely new to Soundgarden. Seth's site could be slightly overwhelming. :) I guess the shitty thing about the internet is that people can do something like this - steal a bunch of material and create a "new" site. There aren't even any credits on the site in question. At least Seth acknowledges contributors. I would hate to think that stuff I contributed to Seth's (our) site was being ripped off and pawned as "new" or someone else's. That's what I gotta say. Anyone else?

It is definitely late in July). It surprises me, because every band is avoiding Atlanta like the plague, supposedly due to the Olympics this summer :-( ). They'll be playing a very small arena, it's somewhere in Underground (if you're not familiar with Atlanta, Underground Atlanta is sort of a collection of shops, bars, and small showrooms built partly in what used to be an underground section of Atlanta). Tickets go on sale Saturday 8 at 10am, and will probably sellout in a few minutes due to the small size of the arena they will be playing. I've called Ticketmaster and they confirmed the ticket sale date and priced them at $25.

I wasn't endorsing Mesa/Boogie Amps.I put that in only because the magazine ad for Mesa boogie amps was advertized as "the best amp in the etc....,the phrase was stuck in my head as I was typing up a response to somebody's question about what this stuff was in the album linear notes. One of my best friends owns a Mesa Boogie combo,It's a terrific rig, I do not own one my self,I get by with a 60 watt Peavey combo, which I've owned since 1986,I'm sorry to say I got this amp before I had ever heard of Soundgarden. And I say this because I would have been very grateful if I had known about them back then.The music that kept me sane durning those spandex metal days was my old Jimi Hendrixs albums,Stevie Ray Vaughn,and,Cliff Burton's Metallica,Blue Cheer, Stooges,Rush,and others Soldano and marshall was not mentioned by because they were not included in the DOTU linear notes.But,personally,I'll take one of each,give me a Marshall JCM800.Yeah,some british crunch.i can hear the cops pounding at the door,come to make me turn it down.Too much money though. From Kim thayil's feature interview by James Rotondi:GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE,JULY 96 JR-What amps were you using in the studio? Kim- I used a lot of different amps.I used MESA Dual Rectifiers for leads, but for rhythms we used a new line of Mesa 50-watt Mavericks,an old Fender super,a Fender Princeton,Fender Twin Reverbs and Vibro-Kings,and an old Orange head.There were a couple of pre amp boxes we used for direct stuff,an Intelitronics LA-2 and a Summit >If this has already been answered, sorry to clog up your mail. By the way, >Kiss used to do a similar thing on all their releases by announcing that >they only used the best: Gibson, Pearl, Etc... It's an easy way for bands >to get stuff for free. After Badmotorfinger came out, some of you may >remember seeing a lot of Peavey ads with SOUNDGARDEN in them. I'm glad >they've switched, but what do you care? Buh-Bye. the only endorsing of products I've seen soundgarden do are the ads for the Dunlop Crybaby Wah pedal.I do believe that when Kim is talking to interviewer about equipment,he doesn't mention brand names because he got some kind of deal with a manufacturer.He cares about what kind of tone he is going for and he isn't going to sacrifice he tone for a few dollars.And,he is not some effects maniac. who has to channel his guitar through digital computer equipment guitar signal processors and wall to wall effects. I'm smart enough to not buy gear by brand x just because my favorite band is using brand x this year.I've tried playing through Mesa and Fender amps.Both,have certain qualities I am interested in but when I make my decision to upgrade my amp. It will not be due to the fact that soundgarden DOTU linear notes said buy this stuff. One of the first amps I ever owned was a Fender Twin Reverb.6x10,100watt.fantastic amp,I wish I still had it.Hey,if Kim wants to endorse products,more power to him. Gonzo-who's not happy with his 9 year old morley wah/volume pedal and has been thinking of trying out a dunlop wah for the past 2 years . >Great Big Noise, >Stephen R.
