I never said anything about the sound of an orchestra, I was talking about horned instruments not suiting Rock music - that's two different things. The sound of an orchestra backing a song is evocative and powerful - it works well, but horned instruments like sax and trumpets are HORRIBLE!! They just parp away in the background and completely spoil the sound of the song. A good example, "Face Pollution" would've sounded a lot better without that hideous sax in the background. Trumpets and sax ruin rock music and make it sound like second-rate Jazz or soumething tacky like Madness or something. Orchestral arragnements, on the other hands (which often exclude wind instruments) sound a lot better. Don't get the two mixed up. .bug ------------------------------ From: neo zeed Subject: RE: SG and parents On Mon, 12 Aug 1996, caryn rose wrote: > in case you didn't notice, this was dee dee's *FATHER* speaking.

The > sound of a guitar married to the flatulent sound of a horned instrument > never bodes well... bullshit. sorry, but you have GOT to be kidding me. the only flatulent sound produced by a rock horn section comes from a rock horn section that: a) sucks b) is working with a poor arrangment not all songs work with horns, obviously (incidentally, i don't think my wave would work extremely well as is...but with a few changes, something could be done...alto and tenor saxes on the main riff, some blasting cornets on the high notes and some sliding t-bones on the "keep it off my wave...my wave." i think there are still samples on streamworks of the orchestra performances of "seattle songs," including black hole sun...check 'em out). but you have to be fair when you're making these judgments. someone mentioned the sax action on room 1000 yrs wide...i don't know that i would count that because it's essentially a non-solo at the end of the song...it was just thrown in and was never an integral part of the tune. THAT is the kind of instrumental addition that i can do without. (sorry, sg boyz...) :) but when properly arranged, these "other instruments" you speak of so disgruntedly are a beautiful thing. (see morphine, the urge, rosegarden funeral, mighty mighty bosstones, etc...) between my roomates/bandmates and myself, we have a musical assortment in our basement consisting of two elec. guitars, four acoustics (two full-size & nice, one plastic, and one miniature...four VERY different sounds) two elec. basses, a mandolin, dulcimer, drum kit, keyboard, two trombones and a harmonica...all integral parts of the songs we write. we have four different amps and a buttload of various mikes that we experimentwith ...each creates something entirely different that can be difficult to match up well with other instruments. the key is in the arrangement and performance. brass sound too harsh? stuff in a bell mute. too much difference between instrument sounds? arrange a part for an "in-between" instrument (i.e. a mandolin or eukelele (sp?) to bind together the sounds of a bass guitar and harmonica) sure, if other instruments are tossed in for the hell of it, things are going to get obnoxious (example: rancid's gratuitous use of a trombone during their lolla set...eeewwwwww). but the same goes for a standard guitar/bass/drum arrangement...things have gotta blend. anything is possible...(case in point--anyone happen to see l.l. cool j's version of "momma said knock you out" with a half-orchestra on mtv about four years ago?...VERY impressive, and i don't like much rap at all...the original version actually becomes listenable once you hear the song performed in a way that lets you appreciate the MUSIC and not just beat boxes and vocals...) soundgarden does a spectacular job with the instruments that they use, which basically represent traditional rock instrumentation, with exceptions (ty cobb!!!). it's the way that they play, record and write songs with them (tuning, texture, etc.) that sets them apart. i'm sure chris and co. could formulate a killer arrangement with a wide variety of instruments, but that just wouldn't be soundgarden-like, imho...let 'em be...if they do a full orchestral album (live from the pit??? :) ) someday i would probably soil myself in disbelief, but it might be cool to see. oh well... my $.03 (i'm feeling generous today) :) later... - -- ######################################################################## # GROTE!!!!!

You're right you didn't say orchestra, my mistake. But I still think horned instruments used correctly can add to a song. It' just cuts it to say HORNS are bad. It depends on the arrangements. If done correctly they can really add to the flavor of a song. I just fine it silly to say that any one type of musical arrangement is dead wrong.

Ummm... if anyone knows how I can do that without having to sign online to hear the wavs, PLEASE let this computer moron know about it. But the wavs I have are really groovy, and perfect for using with Windows (and AOL): - - Chris "Come on, give it to me!!" - - Chris "Bye folks!" - - Matt "He is fucking cool!" - - Chris "What're you doing here?!?" - - Chris "Thank you! No really... thank you!!" Those are just a few. If any of you want me to upload some of 'em to you, just let me know. I'm nice like that. Love me, bye-bye...

"I know I've kissed Eddie before, but I was thinking of you when I did it, Shroom. Eddie was pretty grossed out when I slipped him the tongue, but then he decided that maybe it wasn't so bad after all. He asked if I want to neck with him sometime. I thought that was kinda odd, but the guy DID give me a snowboard... so maybe I should say yes." ~ Chris Cornell (Words not necessarily said in that order...) <~~~ my disclaimer ------------------------------ From: "Terri Sanchez" Subject: AZ Lolla I know this way out of date but I curious to know who on the list went to the Phoenix show? I saw some people with shirts on but didn't have the guts to ask them if they were on this list. Also, I am dying to know if the person who was with their friend who said he looked like Chris Cornell who were standing in front of me in line is on this list. You were were wearing a black SG shirt. Does anyone else who went to Phoenix feel ripped off because of the shitty, hot, dusty weather and the short set and no carnival!

Subj: Feeling Minnesota Soundtrack Date: 07/13/96 To: SOMMS@mit.edu Hiya everyone, I was checking out some CD release dates, and low and behold, a movie called "Feeling Minnesota" is coming out. It comes out on the 30th. But anyway, someone out there really must like Outshined to title their movie after it's lyrics. Hmmm, maybe it stars Ben as the psychopathic killer who uses people's heads as beer steins. And there will be pauses in the movie where Kim explains on a cosmic level the imagery used and how it pertains to his cat. I think I'm getting a bit carried away here. I don't know if Kim really has a cat or not, but he could. And Chris is an exotic dancer who is obscessed with people named after fungus. And last but not least, Matt is a cowboy in the wild west who is transported into present time. Yeah, and he carries two clubs instead of guns. Hmmm, maybe I should go back to bed. Ohh, how we all wish this movie was about Soundgarden, but no. We would have heard about already it if it were. :( On his way to the assylum, Aaron "young girls and gin may be the cure...."-Reverend Horton Heat ------------------------------ From: erin@planet.eon.net Subject: help/sg interview Okay, what exactly would I download to use IRC? I live in Canada and I have a Macintosh and I haven't yet found a place to download whatever is necessary.. Please help.. (write to me privately though so nobody else has to read it) Soundgarden content: I taped this interview with SG off of the radio last night. They were being interviewed by people from the band Eleven. The interview was put on by Spin or something and was called Spin Session With Soundgarden or something like that. I haven't listened to all 90min of it yet because yesterday was my birthday so I put on the tape and left.. (I know, I should be shot for putting something ahead of SG). If anyone wants a copy of the interview e-mail me. I cut off part of Jesus Christ Pose though while I was flipping sides.. Whoops... Anyway.. Please help me with the IRC thing (think of it as a birthday present for me)... Erin. ------------------------------ From: Mo Subject: Merchandise and T-Shirts I went into town today to get myself a Soundgarden shirt. I strolled into Virgin Megastore, and lo and behold, they actually had a few! My hands and knees were trembling as I picked up the first shirt... I looked at the design... nice. Then I noticed something... it was one of those stretchy crap shirts that go out of shape after one or two washes and say "pull into shape after each wash". I took a look at the others. They were all some "Nice Man" make... The DOTU shirt... The Pretty Noose shirt... They were all the same. Now, I was shocked. I've only got one SG shirt at the moment. It's the tricycle job, but at least it's good quality. Can somebody make it so that all SG T-shirts are made with Fruit of The Loom stuff?! The low-quality of all the T-shirts I've seen is really disappointing. All SG shirts should be Fruit Of the Loom! Uh... Life, Liberty and stuff! It's not worth buying T-Shirts if they're made outta crap! Long live Fruit of The Loom!
