Their >rules are really starting to get on my nerves, (not to paraphrase a >really bad movie or anything). Oh yeah, I was gonna mention that long list of rules and how I thought it was really cool. Actually, they weren't really rules. I was half asleep when I ordered the tickets, but apparantly the concert is billed as "Soundgarden: no crowd surfing or moshing" or something like that. Probably not that restrictive. But before the sale was finalized, the agent read this 20 second spiel that was like a terms of agreement deal. I had to agree before she asked for my credit card #. It was talking about how violence and throwing stuff wouldn't be tolerated. I had never heard this type of thing before. But, I was pleased after my shitty lolla experience. I wonder if the band had that put on there, or if it's a venue thing. Related: I went to Smashing Pumpkins on Sun. night. They put on a very good show. Billy managed not to be an asshole and was actually funny and likable. D'Arcy asked the pit crowd to be kind to each other, which I supported. Some assholes still thought it would be cool to crowd surf, at which point I was glad I was not in the pit. Anyway, I'm hoping that these aragon shows will completely blow away my lolla experience. -- Ben Ben Timberlake In my CD Player this week: Northwestern University NO CODE - Pearl Jam Medill School of Journalism btimlake@aol.com -30- http://pubweb.acns.nwu.edu/~bft718 "Takin' it home to rock out for the kids...

Hey everyone. I'm happy to say I got tix for both nights at the Aragon in Chicago. Did anyone run into problems getting tickets? Also, I finally got my pictures from Lolla developed. There are exactly two of soundgarden. Boy are they good. Ben and Chris are at least half a centimeter tall and you can tell that Chris is wearing a black, if not grey shirt. Oh well, teach me to take pictures _before_ I get frustrated and leave the second row. Or bring a telephoto lens. Looking forward to Nov. 9 + 10. I am not familiar with the area around the Aragon. Everyone who's going, we should get together (as others have proposed). How 'bout a restaurant or bar (a combination would be good, I guess for we minors ;)) in the area? -- Ben Ben Timberlake In my CD Player this week: Northwestern University NO CODE - Pearl Jam Medill School of Journalism btimlake@aol.com -30- http://pubweb.acns.nwu.edu/~bft718 "Takin' it home to rock out for the kids...

Caryn, why did you think you'd get flamed for your reply to the foolish escapades just to get closer to Chris Cornell? I for one agree with you absolutely, 100%! There are other ways to not only get closer but to actually meet bands, and not one has to do w/ lower oneself to a foolish sex kitten fluff brain. That sort of thing, when I see it at any show and/or backstage, just makes me A) laugh b/c they look so pathetic and B) angry b/c it gives everyone a bad name. Hey, ladies out there, if this chick w/ the pink skirt had gotten raped as a result, what would the response be then??? I've learned, in 12 years of music and meeting bands and doing interviews that if you present yourself as a real person, perfectly normal, you get respect, the band respects you and by the gods, sometimes even more doors open for you. And esp. in 1996 when US women are crying so much about equality and so on, why put on such a display? So, there you have it, Caryn, I guess we've both not only stood up for women, but opened up a can of worms and may get flamed for it. And to Jessica, who pulled that stunt--was ti really worth it? Are you really proud of yourself? Chris is a guy, a normal person!

I JUST began subscribing to this list last week, and THIS is how I found out about the shows! I just got 2 tickets to the Nov. 10 show, and am SO happy. I've been a long-time fan, but I've NEVER seen SG in concert before... ...been reading some of these messages, and thought I'd include my little anecdote... A few years ago, a friend and I were really into Stevie Ray Vaughan, and at the time we were in school in Madison, WI. When we'd heard about his upcoming concert in Milwaukee, we had agreed that we wanted to go, but we both had too much to do at the time, we had no money, etc, etc, so we both agreed to "catch him next time he comes around." The morning after his performance at Alpine Valley in Milwaukee (August of 1990?), I woke up to my radio alarm, and the announcement that SRV's helicopter went down, and he was GONE. NEVER AGAIN will I NOT go see a band I like! ------------------------------ Subject: Beer, cigs and birthday cake!! From: tonerkin@usa.pipeline.com (Tonerkin) Happy Birthday Kim!!

Then when the answers were shown, I was surprised to see Eddie Vedder, Billy Corgan, and Layne Staley. It's cool that someone in Jeopardyland recognized this people but I was disappointed that they did not include the name CHRIS CORNELL as an answer. By the way, did I said I laughed so hard at the contestants when they could not guess who the hell Layne Staley is. People, what do you think of this?

It would have to be a really good listing though, because other pages and various guitar mags usually are brief and incomplete. I talked about gear in my review of the Rockingham Lollapalooza (i figured, if people can talk about their clothes, I can talk about their guitars). Seth, you should put something on your page to this effect. Here is a recap of what I could tell about their live gear: Kim had six guitars, four Guild S-100's, a Les Paul Custom Lite, and a Fender (Telecaster I think). His onstage cabinets were Mesa/Boogie 4x12's (2 straight, 2 slant), the "Rectifier" style, and his amps were Boogie dual rectifiers (offstage). I know he uses Ernie Ball .009's or .010's, Dunlop crybaby wah, and an unknown chorus pedal ("for feedback modulation"). Chris had five or six Fender Telecasters that all looked brand- spankin' new. He had two slant Mesa cabinets, one on either side of the drums. His strings are usually .010-.046, but for certain tunings he uses .010-.052. While I could not see his amps, I've read that they are Boogie dual rectifiers. His Gretches and Gibsons were nowhere to be seen... Ben had six basses, including custom Fenders (I don't know what kind, but they had maple fretboards and a p/j pickup combination, along with a Tele-style headstock) for standard and drop-D tunings, and an Ernie Ball Music Man for C-tunings. He also had the Mosrite bass (used on SNL). His cabinet was a Mesa/Boogie 2x15 road ready, and his amp was also Mesa/Boogie. All three guys were wireless, but it's hard to tell what kind they used. Matt played a set of Ayotte Custom Drums comprised of two rack and a floor tom, a 24" kick, and a 14" snare. Cymbals, according to the Zildjian home page, are 15" hi hats (K top, A bottom), 19", 18", & 20" Z custom crashes, and a 21" A rock ride. Sticks are Vic Firth 5B's, heads are Remo, hardware is DW. ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: Happy Birthday Kimbo!!! May you eat lots of cake and Hot Rod Death Toll House Cookies! =) Hehaheae... Kimbo rules. Don't get any frosting in yer beerd. But anyway, today has been a good day. I have a little Soundgarden anecdote =) It's kinda amusing =) Well, my car, the Subaru, is lacking shocks. =) Well, it has shocks, but they're air shocks, and I kinda popped one, so my car rides like a mechanical bull, now. (This is why I asked if there were any Subaru owners on the list. I CAN'T be the only Subaru owner out of 500 people.) Thank God today I found someone who can put new shocks on my car.. regular shocks, as opposed to $1000 for two new air shocks... hehe, Foreshocks.. Anyway, driving to school and back, my little AIR SUSPENSION light comes on and blinks the whole way there and back. It's truly a pain in the ass. So today, on the way home, Soundgarden was blaring out of the three speakers that work in my car, and I just got sick of that AIR SUSPENSION light, and it's located on the dash, so I'm humped over the steering wheel, holding my hand over that AIR SUSPENSION light so I don't have to look at it blink and blink and blink, and my face is pressed up against the windshield and I'm screaming along to "Bleed Together" cause it's like a rule when I'm in the car I have to sing along. It must have looked damn funny to oncoming cars =) I suggest you try it sometime.. Just hunch over the steering wheel and put your face up to the windshield and sing. You'll feel like an asshole in no time... =) Well, I'm going to go cook now. I'm gonna make a Kim Thayil Birthday Cake, it's going to be shaped like a gigantic beard.. Hehehee.. I love beards! I love Kim! If he came to my house I'd let him use my toilet! My Jazz in America teacher also bears a striking resemblance to Kimbo... the same eyes.. my teachers got a way bigger nose though =) ok, thats it for now.. wait.. one more thing, I promise =) Leaving school today I saw a really messed up car with "Shroomobile" written across the top of the windshield.. Hehe.. =) Well, I'll shut up now... thanks for reading ------------------------------ From: "Steven Russell Jr." Subject: Feeling Supersonic... Hey List! somewhere at the end there's some sg content :) Last weekend I made the annual pilgrimage to Barrie/Toronto to see the annual alterna-festival. This year's winners were Neil Young/Oasis/Screaming Trees/Jewel/Gin Blossoms/Spiritualized. Past years festivals have included '93 Neil Young/SG/PJ and '94 SG/NIN with a whole host of smaller bands. quick review: Screaming Trees ROCKED! Go out and see them!!! I was in the front row 5 ft from Gary Conner, who seemed to be doing an Angus Young impression :) The addition of the extra guitarist from Kyuss made the band sound extra extra tight! A definite highlight of my entire concert experiences! It's too bad the alterna youth that surrounded me didn't know any of the songs! These guys should be much much bigger (conner brother jokes not appreciated!). Go out and buy the new album NOW! :) Spiritualized: I headed for beer tent south...no review...well, the Molson Canadian had a wonderful bouquet. Gin Blossom: Beer tent north...same as above... Note: to anyone from the Northeast (non-new england), Midwest and West...I nominate the Canadian accent as the accent of the year...It's pretty neat to hear! Jewel: She's so cute! Incredible voice...though the yodel shtick was a little too 'cutesy'. The new songs she performed with her, ahem, *band*...were forgettable Melissa Ethridge retreads...that will probably help sell a couple million copies of her new album due in January. Anyone else here the joni mitchel'istic (sp) tendencies in her solo acoustic numbers? Oasis: between my screams of "fuck you liam...we want noel", I really liked them. The band is excellent live. If you can get past their attitude and their Beatles stealing...they really are a decent band. Neil Young: Great...Crazy Horse is outstanding...but I'm getting sick of hearing "cortez the killer" and other 70's burnout classics in concert. Two highlights...the kid next to me crowd surfing during "Heart of Gold" and "Sugar Mountain" (I thought the people surfing to Orleans "Still the One" at Woodstock II was bad)...and what happens when you don't eat all day and stand 10ft from the stage in the middle of 50,000 people for 3 hours during Oasis and Neil Young. Hint: beer and heat = dehydration and eventually.... addicted to noise did a concert review in sunday's music news of the world if anyone is actually interested in what I'm saying :) SG content: (wouldnt want to break the first SOMMS commandment) t-shirt report: I saw 4-5 SG shirts at the show (I'm not sure about the exact number...cause by the end...everyone looked alike). ALL were the Black Hole Sun Indian dude shirts. No new or old designs :( Non musical highlight and the source of the SG content in this post....I finally played Big Dumb Sex (remix) at maximum volume in the parking lot! (this is the first show I've had it on CD) I'm gonna assume that most Canadians have never heard the remixed version 'cause the looks on the people's faces were priceless! :) It was a mixture of shock and amusement...most just stared! :) I recommend everyone play the song very loud at every concert! Highly amusing!

It was pretty cool except I went with a friend who was new the whole "alt rock" thing. (She was formerly a big Madonna fan). They actually played a couple of older songs, Gun and I don't remember the other one. It was funny, when they played Gun, I remember my friend turning to me really puzzled and half disgusted and asking "What's that?" ;>) Oh well. Oh yeh, to Caryn and anyone else who might be interested; some of the rules were no body surfing, no moshing, no throwing things (which I personally agree with), stay in your seats (I think I was given this direction about 3 times), and then there were some others that I didn't really catch because I kinda tuned her out. Plus I have no intention of doing anything that might get me thrown out. In fact, those of us who are going should see if maybe there is a way to get backstage to meet them. Maybe we can e-mail the fan club or something. Let 'em know there are quite few devotees coming. Who knows, maybe it'll work. What do you think? :>) Well, that's it for now.

Firstly, I am a = Christian but don't want to get into religion on this list. These = thoughts I've had are a little less religion-dominated than that.=20 Because when I hear Chris sing the above line I get an image of pigs = flying in the sky! Why?? Do you know the phrase "and pigs might fly"?? or even "pigs might fly = backwards"? Used when you think something will never happen - so that = if that something ever DOES happen pigs will actually fly........ I wonder if Chris is referring to something perhaps not happening - or = that the impossible HAS actually happened - that now pigs ARE flying = around near that moon and Heaven. Just because the word god is in the lyric, doesn't necessarily mean he = is attacking any religion....... Just some of my crazed thoughts!

And about the short skirt thing, I like wearing cute > little skirts, this one was quite fashionable, no intents to do anything but > look cute, I did not look like a slut, but if a guy was to check me out, why > not use it to my advantage to get closer to the stage.I just wanted to I was originally going to reply to this thread sooner, but I waited until you gave your own reply to caryn, jessica. this is coming from a male perspective (so you can make your own judgment as to whether it is valid or not), but to me, losing your dignity to whatever small degree just to get closer to the stage is not worth it. I know that chris' physical appearance is a big - if not the biggest - drawcard to some female listers, and that is entirely up to individual preference. I personally feel that the band is made up of *four* people, not "sexy chris" and three other musicians (but that is my own personal soapbox). accordingly, I might actually have more respect (albeit not much more) for your efforts if you were trying to see the *whole band*, and not just the lead singer. but in the end, you used your skirt to get a closer view of chris. was it really worth it? to sit next to a bunch of what were probably drunk, leering and creepy guys, just so you could see things better? how could you even concentrate on the show? lastly, and I don't know if this means much to you, but have you thought of what the band would think of what you did? I don't think chris would have been clapping you along. some bands are happy to play on the looks of band members, somtimes in preference to the music they actually play. I'm happy to say that soundgarden is not one of those bands. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: overfloater@thenexus.com Subject: Re: Re: hmm, hair...chris...calendar...chris...

From: seth ...about how this list works, let me go over it again. New people, please listen up. I. RULES THAT ARE NOT OPEN TO DISCUSSION 1) If you are consistently off-topic, you will be removed from the list. Being off-topic means sending messages to the list that have nothing to do with Soundgarden. An example: If you're comparing Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, you're on-topic. If you're posting a review of Pearl Jam's new album, you're off-topic. 2) If you send chain mail to the list, you will be removed. I mean *any* chain mail, no matter how important you think it is. If you get a forwarded message that says little Johnny is dying of cancer and wants to start an email campaign to raise his morale, DO NOT forward it to the list. If you get something that you think is so crucial that the list should see it, send it to me *privately* first, and I will let you know whether or not it's appropriate for the list. 3) If you wish to unsubscribe, send mail to SAPERL@MIT.EDU. Sending mail to the list will get you nowhere fast. There are more than 560 subscribers and only one of them - ME - can remove you from the list. Don't waste everyone else's time. II. RULES THAT ARE OPEN TO DISCUSSION There are no rules that are open to discussion. :) III. GUIDELINES If you're new to the list, take the time to read the archive on the Web page and familiarize yourself with the current threads and find out what's been discussed recently. Don't jump in and make a fool of yourself. Don't jump into an argument and personally attack someone before you know who you're attacking. This list has been active for more than a year, and in that time those of us who have been around for a while have learned to interpret messages based on their authors. That is, if you joined the list yesterday and someone today posts something so utterly outrageous that you want to flame them into oblivion, DON'T. There are people on the list who will say things that will shock newbies, but keep in mind that the rest of us might see those "shocking" messages as totally normal, depending on who sent them. There are tons of inside jokes -- feel free to ask the author of a message what he or she meant, but don't pull out your flamethrower right away. And by the way, those guidelines should apply to *any* mailing list you join. 10-4, seth (listadmin) ------------------------------ From: Josh_Garza@teachnet.edb.utexas.edu (Josh Garza) Subject: Re(2): why PLEASE, stop filling our mailboxes with pointless letters, like flaming people. and what is the point of THIS letter..? i haven't been perfect with what ive posted either, but what the hell...... _____________________________________________________ Burgostj@aol.com,Internet writes: WHAT ON EARTH ARE YU TALKIN ABOUT - -- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TeachNet, College of Education, University of Texas, Austin Texas - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ From: ASDrum@aol.com Subject: And the winner is...

BTW, I'm sure a lot of you watched the MTV Music Video Awards tonight. Did you catch Billy Corgan's comment upon winning the best Alternative Video Award? Something about alternative music and thanking bands like Soundgarden and Nirvana (I think he said Nirvana - I wasn't really watching until I heard SOUNDGARDEN, and then my ears perked up - nonetheless, he said SG 1st). Anyway "bands like SG & Nirvana (?) and others of our ilkage for making music so exciting", or sumsing to that effect. Cool ;-) "We're Frowngarden.
