Eric ------------------------------ From: Jessblndi@aol.com Subject: Justifying Myself! To whom all this may concern, I just wanted to justify myself to all the people out there who ripped on me. Maybe you should go back and read my letter again. Nowhere, I repeat nowhere did I say I ever slept with this guy, kissed this guy, touched him, or let him touch me. Of course he tried to touch me, because he was drinking but I turned and smacked him. He knew I just wanted to enjoy Soundgarden and I told him if he didn't enjoy my company just as it was I would stand in the Isle and watch which was still closer than my seat. He was a gentleman apologized, told me how much he liked Soundgarden(that is why his seats were so close) and we enjoyed watching the rest of Soundgarden's set together than I went back to sit with my friends. I did not ditch my friend's, there was a big group of them and they knew exactly where I was. In fact some of them left and got closer for Metallica. Now with the sluty skirt thing. HELLO!!!! Isn't there anyway possible a skirt can be pink and short and not be sluty? I didn't know I was condemned to wearing jeans at concerts. I like dressing up for special occasions like this was (I wasn't even dressing up, I dress fashionable all the time). I want to ask did I ever go into detail and explain what I was wearing? No, I said I was wearing a short, metallic, pink skirt. It happens to be a very fashionable skirt in Los Angeles and I like it a lot. I should be able to wear whatever the fuck I want to wear anyways, I am the only one who needs to like it. I got a lot of complements on it, both male AND female! I didn't think there was something wrong with when a guy complemented me on it I asked him if he would get me in if I bought him some beers. I apologize if anyone judged what I wrote wrong! I didn't know I had to go into little details about things, I just said a few things. Who Knows maybe I should look at how bad it might have sounded without details but then again maybe you should look at what you say without making assumptions that could hurt someone. I am a good person and it pissed me off to see people say that it was crude, dirty, sluty, or any other rude words used to describe what I did . I know people are probably still not going to understand me but please read this again if you don't. I am just a die hard Soundgarden fan. If there are other ways to get closer in shows please tell me! I go to Los Angeles shows and believe me security is very tight, it is not that easy to get in. Remember LA is a very big city like New York which means more people and more very mean security. The first show sold out in 5-10 minutes which would say there is security looking for psycho fans like me trying to get a closer view. Well anyways I m rambling. Please if you have any suggestiins on getting closer please tell! sincerely, Jessica..........Cornell ------------------------------ From: DashosheE Subject: Re: screaming trees/oasis Burgostj@aol.com wrote: > > i agree oasis rules what does this have to do with soundgarden?

Hey, Blind dog! Thanks for giving a guys point of view, b/c I think that's really needed in cases like this. Good point too, what would the band have thought about such actions just to get closer to the stage? And also, Sg IS made up of 4 people.

Cool ;-) Yeah I heard Corgan make that comment too. I had to smile. I always thought Corgan was a glorified pizza delivery boy but after that comment, it showed me that he knows what's up. He has his head on straight. Also, did anyone count how many times the word "alternative" was used last night?

I was thinking of something the other day when I was listening to Searching with my Good Eye Closed. You know that part 5 minutes into the song where Chris screams at the top of his lungs, " is it to the sky, it is to the sky"? Is that the highest his voice has ever gone? That part is screeching. I really can't think of any other songs where he has gone higher than at that point. The only thing I can think of that would come close is Birth Ritual. Also, is there a place on the webpage where I can see all of Soundgarden's smart ass comments that they have made? Those boys crack me up. Kim is...36?? Geeze, he is old.

I thought you guys should know that this summer, I had the splendid opportunity to go to Lollapallooza in Des Moines, Iowa. It was the greatest time I ever had at a concert. Not only was the music spectacular, but I was fortunate enough to win a special t-shirt. This T-shirt, was given away by the best local radio-station (107.5). It was air-brushed by a very talented young artist. On the back was a very flattering and intriguing portrait of Chris C. Also, it was signed by all the members of the band. Pretty Cool! Soundgarden is great on their albums, but live and in my face, they were just short of giving me an orgasm (just joking). I thought the concert was a success, especially givent that the Ramones (the second best group there), and Metallica (too many new, shitty songs, but still really good) were there.

This italian guy started playing touchy feely kissy, it grossed >>me out but i had to sit through it bacause I wanted to see Chris. *that's* what you said, jessica. and i grew up in new york city. yes, security is tight. there are always ways around it. use your brain, not your boobs, and you'll be surprised how far you get and how much more fun you'll have. for myself, i'm always polite and nice to the security guards at shows here, most of whom work all the shows, and they ALWAYS give me set lists, etc. because i'm nice. not because i flash my boobs (trust me, girls do that), or anything else. because i treat them like a human being. matt's drum tech gave me that stick at the showbox show because he knew i was a FAN, because i'd been there on line since 3pm and toughed out the show in the front row. NOT because i wore a short skirt -- he didn't give these girls trying to get his attention that way earlier the time of day. and ya know, short skirt, i could care less. it was your statement that you let this guy paw you and that you 'had' to sit through it to be close to chris. if you want respect, then treat yourself with respect. it's your actions we have problems with, not what you wore. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Gonzo Subject: Re:Little Pigs I was listening to TDITTL when I heard the chorus,it reminded me of this discussion about the pigs.In that chorus the line goes;"The day I tried to live.I wallowed in the mud and blood with all the other Pigs".Just a thought I wanted to share.If I can find some time I will see in how many other songs and in the way pig(s) is used in them.well I've run out of time.back to work until my break at 3pm.

Better than the day I had today, where I think a round of blow up the outside world is in desperate need for. Ok, so much babble, lets get to the point here. My point is....did you see how Billy said Soundgarden was still holding up the Alternative scene, along with someone else, but I didn't care much after he said thoe sacred words. not only that, did you see Delores from the cranberries....was she in some weird way, trying to copy Chris' haircut? Or maybe that's just me who's soooo touchy about the way supposedly try to copy my dear boy Chris......Not to mention this boy at this new school, whose name is David, has the same exact haircut as Chris, just bleached. AAAAAA but it was still a bad day. Must go wallow in a sea of sorrow! the original preety noose P.S. for anyone who's still listening, does anyone agree with me that the pic of the band in the July issue of US, just looks sooooo adorable???? And Chris...He just makes you want to grab a hold of his cheeks(on his face....now gals)and sqeeze them till he turns red.....ok, I must get a hold of myself.

First of all it's scary that I have "Hootie" in my CD collections (a short, very short lapses in my mental state of being), I think I have played it once.. So I never really looked at the jewel case.. But as soon as I saw your note, I pulled it out and sure enough it looks just like the front of "DOTU"..

But amongst the warped Vanilla Ice 12" & Bee Gees lps & found a promo cd entitled Louder Than Live. Needless to say I ask the vendor the price & in a mild Cajun accent he spoke, "hm... fifteen bucks maybe?" I handed him the cash & left immediately. Now I wonder this: did the promo originally come in any type of picture sleeve? The copy I found was just in a blank disc case. I'm happy I found it & don't really care to get the artwork; I'm just wondering for general knowledge. Also the version listed on Steve's disog has Big Bottom & Earache My Eye as track 7 while mine consists of two separate tracks (7 & 8 of course). The store was cool other for another reason. By the door were dozens of framed b&ws of the owner standing with several 'famous' music artists such as 'Weird Al' Yankovich & um... well, no one that I particularly recall right now.

LTL was released in a corrugated cardboard 'jewel box' -- not a paper sleeve, but a 'folder', that was duct-taped and bumper-stickered shut. most people didn't keep the packaging -- i keep mine in a jewel case -- but that's what makes it so rare. if people have it, they don't think it's rare. as far as i know, myself, chris mackenzie, and now ray are the only three of us that have this. (and if you do, it's fine to tell us, but PLEASE don't post your entire sg collection or we'll never hear the end of it). congrats ray ;-) - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Burgostj@aol.com Subject: Re: DOTU Cover people this is soundgarden mailing list not bands mailing list. tj ------------------------------ From: Burgostj@aol.com Subject: Re: Louder Than Live promo cd please dont teake me off will try harder ------------------------------ From: "Jack Parsons" Subject: limo wreck hiya postees, has anyone else seen a limo wreck? I say "else" b/c I have. I was listening to limo wreck today, and it reminded me of a wreck I saw a few weeks ago. it was a limo one. I was across town with my family. we were driving down the road by the mall, and I saw this four-window stretch limo sideways in the middle of the street. next to it was a green pick-up w/ it's front end smashed up (the pick-up's). as we drove past the limo, you could see that the other side of the limo had a HUGE dent in the side. it was almost a hole, right below the second window from the front on the left side. here's where being all the way across town comes into play. me being only 16 still w/o my license , and mom being really tired, would not go home to get the camera and come back!! no one would take me anywhere to get a camera. she thought it was just plain silly that I'd want a picture of a limo wreck. I explained the song, but she still wouldn't do anything. we went straight home. and even by that time the police would have come and gone, nobody would have been there. so I have no proof but my word. thanks for reading... later-jonathan - --make no mistake, I am what you made me-- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 235] ****************************************
