Ya gotta be happy with that!! Word to your collective mothers, Don't mind me ... I'm just prancing around in a state of euphoria after hearing of SG's confirmed appearance at the '97 Big Day Out ....

Sadly, I had dismissed Soundgarden as just another opratic metal band. I hate this, but it was acutally the Black Hole Sun video that drew my attention to sg. I usually study with the TV on. The white noise effect... Anyway, I was impressed with the video effects. My roomate at the time went out and bought the CD. As soon as I read Chris Cornell's lyrics I was hooked. Soundgarden is awesome. Of course, the subscribers to this list don't need to be told how great a band Soundgarden is, I'm sure. There are great songs on DOTU. There are great songs on all the sg CDs and tapes that I've listened to; however, I prefer the DOTU, Superunknown, and BMF to the earlier work. I obsess on the dark, depressed lyrics on Superunknown. On the other hand, I've never been too fond of the high tremolo vocals that seem to dominate most of the earlier sg work, although I'm getting over my hang ups about them (them being the vocals.) I didn't like Robert Smith's voice for a long time either, and I think I'm just used to it now. I suppose that for me, what's being said is so much more important than how its sung. This is my first non-academic list... so don't harsh on me too much. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Merchandise I know this is a little late, but. . . It would be really cool to have another CD+, one that's more accessible (ie not limited to certain CD-ROMS) and bigger. I love AiTS, but there seems like there's nothing on it.

Just thought I'd put in the same kind of comment that overfloater did. I'm 16 (1 month shy of 17), and I've been listening to SG since I was 12 (I turned 12 a full 4 days before BMF was officially released). I still love that album to death. I now have 13 CD's (albums and singles) of Soundgarden's (I know that pale's when compared to some, but it's more than twice the amount of any other band that I have). And, BTW, how did we end up with such a cool guy to head this list anyway? Pure luck or was the Great One above shining down on us?

You know that is one of the great thing about Soundgarden's music. It cross an age barrier the starts in the very early teens and reaches all the way out to us baby-boomers. Never let anyone tell you, you are too young or too old to love any type of music. Music is and should be ageless. It's a credit to Soundgarden and the members of this list that we can come here and talk about them and the music with out any regard to age. And as long as I'm talking, have to tell you all I really love "Karaoke", it must have been really hard for them to leave it off DOTU.. I love the beginning, I love the drums.. I want to see Matt doing this song.. I love the line "You can hear it in the air, you can feel it in your bones". That is just how I feel about SG's music... "You can have it for your own"....

This is my first Somms post and I'd like to thank you all for keeping a bored Kiwi, living in the heart of Italy up to date with SG news!!! I saw my first SG gig at the Commodore in Vancouver, BC, in 1990, even if i didn't really know it at the time!! I remember Voivod and Prong and then these real loud guys, though I think SG were 2nd on the bill, maybe someone knows? To answer a previous question, it seems that lately in Europe most bands prefer to tour after the summer,as every one is back from holiday and tickets definetely sell better. I know that here in Italy Pearl Jam tickets have been on sale for nearly a month ( there are 2 shows ) and there are still tickets available. This year looks great with of course SG here in Bologna on the 25th ( scored a massive tour poster today ) and a lot of name bands including Pantera, Pearl jam and I forget the others, weird for Italy though as of late there has been a real drought of talent. It's not so unusual to find ' name ' bands touring after the summer ,the festivals are still on and the weather is hopefully still good!! I think I heard from the list that Susan Silver is touring with the guys, is this true? If so, is there a picture of her on the web?. Please let me know. Oh, and to whoever bought Fortissimo, I'm sure it's an Italian boot, I've seen it here a number of times. For those who don't speak Italian it means EXTRA STRONG...It sells for around 15 dollars usually.

Andrea ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: follow me into the desert... just a small tidbit of info for those american listers who are trying to deduce the timing and likelihood of a u.s club tour before the end of the year. the other website says that their european tour will finish half-way through october (and I notice they are taking a day off on the same day the faq will hit the airwaves. coincidence?). moreover, the fanclub reports that they are confirmed for the big day out here in australia, which tours the sunburnt land at the end of january (our summer) next year. my best guess is that the band will probably tour domestically during october/november. then they could have christmas and new year's at home, and then dominate the australia-pacific region throughout january. any takers? btw, are there any german sommsers? you lucky ducks are getting a grand total of 7 different dates in your corner of the world. are there many euro lurkers who are going to pop up and give us reviews? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: "Miguel G.
