Re: searching.. A question about shirts ------------------------------------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Chris and Joey Ramone in RS shoot me if this has been mentioned already, but I just picked up the new Rolling Stone (with Conan O'Brien on the cover) and the only worthwhile thing in there is this GREAT!!!! photo of chris with his arm around Joey Ramone from the LA Palace gig: "Face it, if you haven't been to a Ramones last show, you're a loser. The boys called it quits, again, ending their farewell tour (aka Lollapalooza) at Los Angeles' Palace. Onstage at various times during the tear-jerking affair were Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder, members of Rancid and Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. "We were at the 2,000th show, in Tokyo," recalls Soundgarden's Matt Cameron. "But this is 2,263. Johnny [Ramone] says it's over. You have to take his word." GREAT photo. i'll scan it on monday, sethster. ;-) - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Scroggin Subject: Re: equipment faq? spacedout wrote: > > is there a place on seth's page or somewhere else where i can get a sg eqip. faq? i > know they use guild guitars and ernie ball strings, but i was wondering > about pedals, amps etc........(anything) ???? i thought chris was using telecaster lately & i vividly remember chris using gretch guitars.(those real shiny and bright ones, he had sliver,ect.) as for kim your right he plays guild sg's . and as for ben and matt , well ben frequently plays fender telecaster basses and well matt im not a drummer so i havent a clue. oh-yea! and as for amps im pretty sure they use mesa-boogie and as for all the little gadgets like peadals and stuff , i havent a clue. - -- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Just because your winning , don't mean your the lucky one." - axl. rose ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ------------------------------ From: Mike Lecocke Subject: i don't think I'm doing this right Hi.....I'm obviously new to this mailing to the digest thing, though I've been on the list for a few weeks. Anyway, if I actually did do this right, I was really wanting to tell Jessica that I thoroughly enjoyed her story, and as a feminist myself, found nothing to frown upon in it. Hello...is there anything we wouldn't do to see the almighty Chris? And by the way Shroom, you're NOT the only one who has a crazy impulse to lick pictures of Chris. Oh yea, before I start going off about how perfect Chris is, does anyone know if Soundgarden is planning to come to Texas soon? I still haven't forgiven myself for missing Lollapalooza (I also love Metallica), since it did come close to Dallas, which is close to San Antonio. Every time I see a picture of Chris singing with his shirt either off or unbuttoned I get really pissed off, so I figure that SG has to play here soon or else I just might die. Well, maybe not die, but be terribly unhappy. Thanks for sympathizing, Margret...Cornell (Hey-we can share) ------------------------------ From: Mike Lecocke Subject: First timer Hi everybody. This is my very first time, and I'm oh-so excited. I've been on the list for a few weeks, so I kind of know everybody. Shroom and jessica, I have a feeling that the three of us could talk about the lovely Chris for days. Whoever wrote about the pic of SG in Us magazine is right. I think it was Kathie, but I don't remember. The guys (all of them) look great, but Chris looks way too good. Anyway, I was really wanting to tell Jessica that I thouroghly enjoyed her story. and as a feminist myself, found nothing to frown uon in it. Hello....is there anything we wouldn't do to see the almighty Chris? By the way Shroom, a few days ago you wondered if you were the only one who had crazy impulses to lick pictures of Chris...I assure you that you're not. Believe me, I have multiples of lots of pics, for that very reason. Ha ha. Oh yea, before I start going off about how perfect Chris is, does anyone know if Sg is coming to Texas soon? I still haven't forgiven myself for missing Lollapalooza (I also love Metallica), since it did come close to Dallas, which is close to San Antonio, where I live. Every time I see a picture of Chris siinging with his shirt either off or unbuttoned I get really pissed off, so I figure that SG has to play here soon or else I just might die. Well, maybe not die, just be really unhappy. To all of you going to the Chicago show(s), I'm really jealous, superhappy for you. You have to tell us all about them. And last of all, but certainly not least in importance, I personally think Chris looks better with his present hair. what I really hope he never does is the Eddie/Gavin thing. Yes, they look good with it, but I just can't see Chris like that. That's my 2 cents. Gotta go, homework calls. Happy late birthday Kim. Bye darlings, Margret...

I haven't lived here more than a couple of years, and still have yet to find many SG fans (yeah, i wonder why, this is ohio, land of garth brooks!) anyway, if there are any, email me PRIVATELY, just curious who's out there... eliza ------------------------------ From: Lee Christensen Subject: Anyone in these cities Not fully SG related but a little bit :) The story: My friend is going to America on Wednesday morning (AUST time) and we would like to know of some good record stores so we can grab a heap of rare/cheap stuff we can't get down here! Especially SG stuff (see the relation now?) anyway these are the places he is going, if ppl in these cities could mail me personally Names and addresses of good record stores we would be more then happy! Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinaty, Syracuse, Louisville, Dayton, Philadelphia, Hamton, Wasington, Providence, Thanks in advance! seeya Lee ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: drowned in shark fins...

I listened to it once in a record store and had a lot of trouble picking out his voice, let alone his work on the recorder. of course, that was only after one hearing, but you would think that his vocals (even though he is listed as a backing singer) would soar over mark lanegan's. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Aleko Subject: Re: searching.. Does Chris hit a higher note? OOboy a new thread, well my choice for highest note would have to be the beginning of Power Trip. Nothing can match that. Bits of Cold Bitch come close. Another thing i know i may get flammed for saying this but i think that Chris is a little overrated as a vocalist. Hear me out before you kill me though. The reason i say this is the many songs they have recorded live (as Bsides or form SOMMS) and to be honest he never matches his vocals on the Albums (exception being Beyond the Wheel). Infact on some songs he doesn't come close (Fell on Black Days, Slaves and Bulldozers). I know that singers have off nights and that some songs are harder to sing then others, but you would think that only good performances would be released. I have seen local bands with great vocalists that do it live (Naiad, Powderfinger) and for an example you would know how about the singer from Tool Maynard. His live performances are sometimes better then the album recordings and he hits every note spot on. Also past vocalists like Robert Plant were superior live. Don't get me wrong Chris is still great but i think he could be better especially live. Hmmm, maybe if he stoped smoking and had vocal training who knows he could prove me totally wrong by performing great at the Big Day Out, or at Soundgarden's own shows in Sydney :) (hint hint) and i realise he plays guitar as well.

Just wondering........ Now Soundgarden content..... For Ozsommsters......... Why doesnt RAGE ever have a SG retrospective?????? They have a Pearl Jam one at the drop of a hat, but they didnt even have one when DOTU came out! (or did they? Im sure Ive put a tape in every weekend since then). Oh thanks for the competition Ang, I never win anything so I'm very excited.
