Re: Texas Sg Shows Stupid Record store people!! ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Warren Dyson Subject: Manchester Review Tuesday 17th September, 1996..... S O U N D G A R D E N (Manchester Apollo, Support :- MOBY, ELEVEN) - --------------------- After a long train journey, we settled down in the bar for a few drinks before heading upstairs to assume our seats. MOBY was about half way through his twisting set of hardcore punk songs. So, we waited.... and eventually MOBY left the stage, giving way to a horde of tech people who all scurried about taking things apart and generaly doing their thing until the stage was set. The crowd volume slowly rose until Chris & co ran on stage, the heavens opened and the opening chords of 'Spoonman' filled the arena. 'Right', I thought, this must surely be heaven ! For the trainspotters out there (and Shroom), Chris was wearing a matching black shirt and pants type outfit, and he looked really thin ! The rest of the band where wearing much the same (black), with Matt being the exception, sporting a T-shirt and stylish shorts ;) After 'Spoonman' they continued their sonic assault with 'Searching with my good eye closed', followed by 'Let me drown', 'Waiting for the sun' and 'Pretty noose'. I remember exactly which songs they played, but not the order they played them in. Chris was in FINE voice as usual, and the whole band looked like they were really enjoying the gig; Ben was a COMPLETE NUTTER and looked like he was having a fit most of the time ! Matt's performance was brilliant, fucking up for only 3 seconds of the whole gig, he generally didn't miss a beat. Kim just stood there looking godlike with his SG and got really excited during 'Rusty Cage' and started leaping about all over the shop :) After seeing them at Reading '95, and being really disapointed at the sound quality and the bands general lack of enthusiasm, I'm pleased to say that Soundgarden are infact the best live act in the world today..... as if you didn't know that already. VERDICT : UltraMegaFuckingAmazing! SET LIST - In no particular order (Sorry) - -------- Spoonman Searching with my good eye Closed Let me drown Waiting for the Sun Pretty Noose My Wave Ty Cobb Fell on black Days Mailman Black Hole Sun (Solo) Rhinosaur (New ending) Burden in my Hand Never Named Blow up the outside World An unkind Bootcamp (with jam before it) Rusty Cage Outshined Drawing Flies Encore :- Unknown cover version, Jesus Christ Pose.

As we already know, Gerry Casale will be directing the BUTOW video. Incidentally, he also directed the Foo Fighters' "I'll Stick Around". Anyway, the video will have Chris Cornell in a sterile kind of room, montitored, and being forced to watch himself and the rest of the band on TV. A la Clockwork Orange. Whoa] A VIDEO video] Guess the acting bug has bitten our Chris. This should be AWESOME. Should be even better if Chris is TIED to the chair]]] Now, this is what I HEARD. (From a pretty reliable source). So please, no flaming should the video turn out to be a piece of crap short film with no band shots. But Gerry is a GOOD director, so I'm sure he won't disappoint.

I 've been reading your letters for a couple of weeks now, but I haven't noticed anyone mailing from Louisiana. I live in Baton Rouge and feel like an outsider cause I listen to SG.(By the way I do agree that DOTU has the best sound quality, but as far as songs go, BMF the one. Nuff said) Anyway, if anyone lives around me, let me know. Also, is SG going to play any closer to me than Austin. I know it would be worth it, but that's a long drive. I'll write sompin' more interesting next time. Martin ------------------------------ From: Gonzo Subject: Re:Texas Sg Shows and Detroit,Mi To all you Texas Residents.You people are really fortunate to have 3 Soundgarden shows to attend.If I lived in Tejas,I would sure be going to all 3 shows.Soundgarden is doing 1 show in Michigan,at the palace of Auburn Hills.This venue can hold about 20,0000 to 40,000 people.I am calling Ticketmonster right now as i type.The operator is telling me he has no info yet for this show on Nov12. the show at the Palace is not really in Detroit,but in Auburn Hills, which is next to Pontiac.I will be seeing soundgarden at the Aragon in Chicago on Nov 10,and then on the 12th at the Palace.The Aragon is a much smaller venue I think, so I'll be experiencing SG shows in 2 different kinds of environments. If you have read this far,thanks for listening to me,I have more to say but my time is up. Gonzo-I must obey the rules-Boot Camp- ------------------------------ From: "Phelan, Kate" Subject: S. Life Book - Poster I have a poster for the photo book, "Screaming Life" by Charles Peterson, which chronicles the Seattle music scene, for any diehard Seattle music collector who might want it. The photo on the poster is of, I believe, Kurt Cobain, and he's basically playing his guitar while suspended in air, upside down. Email me if you want it... On a SG note, I've been thinking about getting another tattoo, and I thought maybe the BMF "wheel" would be something quite excellent to display on my... um... I haven't decided where I would put it yet. I'd like to hear from any tattoo'd fans any thoughts/feelings about having a band's "logo" branded on themselves. Any regrets? Delights? Kate ------------------------------ From: Grant Asher Subject: Glasgow 16th September Just got back from Glasgow after seeing sg. Brydon pretty much covered most of the gig but I thought I'd add a few extra bits. He missed Eleven, who were the opening act (before Moby). They came on at about 7.40pm. They were pretty amazing and I managed to nab their set list. BTW, guys, whenever any of the ladies on this list start drooling over Chris (not mentioning any names..... Shroom) we should start on about Natasha from Eleven. Mmmm... Yum. I was at the front for the whole gig so I was about 15 feet away from her, and then right in front of Kim when sg came on. Definitely the best place to be, I'm pretty bruised as a result, but like Brydon said, it's something you've got to accept. Luckily I had a bouncer right in front of me so I knew when someone was about to land on my head and had time to stick my arms up. I asked the bouncer for sg's set list too, but I don't think they had one because he couldn't find it. Brydon's right, Chris was sweating pretty heavily, it was dripping off his guitar at some points and I was like "Hmmm... electricity and water...". Kim was playing through several guild SG's, but I don't remember seeing him with a Les Paul. They also played "Let me drown" twice. Not quite sure why. Incidentally, to anyone who has the superunknown guitar tab book you may be interested to know that the version they have of "fell on black days" is wrong. I was watching Kim's fingers while he was playing and it was definitely a different version. ------------------------------ From: Joe Cennamo Subject: Re: JESUS CHRIST POSE On Wed, 18 Sep 1996, ONE & ONLY ALI-G wrote: > > I JUST GOT OUT OF CLASS...A POETRY CLASS....WHILE IN CLASS...THE PROFESSOR > SAYS, "TODAY...I WANT EVERYONE TO SHARE A POEM OR A SONG WITH THE CLASS." > > I LISTEN AND OBSERVE......AND NOW IT IS MY TURN.....I STAND UP INFRONT OF > THE CLASS...AND I BEGIN TO RECITE JESUS CHRIST POSE...... > MY PROFESSOR STOPS ME...AND SAYS,"I WILL NOT TOLERATE BLASPHEMY IN MY CLASS!" > > ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYONE??????

Was it a public school? If it was then by doing that he has violated your rights. You should tell him that you will not allow that. I hate all these neo-christian fundametalist types, trying to bann and censor everything. today at school we had this stupid prayer thing by the flag pole. And all these stupid redneck kids came out wearing t-shirts that said things like, "The lords gym". and showed pictures of Jesus bench pressing the world. They went out to pray that the goverment would bring things like school prayer back. If they got there way we would have to put up with them praying every day. And we would have to do it too. One fundamentalist on the radio spent days talking about how evil Joan Osborne was. Here in ohio these people are verywhere.

I spent almost all my paychecks from my summer job on my stereo. (Yes I am a stereo freak). Su has the second best sound quality but it isn't uniform on the album. 4th of July sounds great but Like suicide needs help, If you listen really carefully on the 4th you can hear Chris's lips smack together between verses. You can also pick up the spit in his mouth. What else... if you listen close someone yells fuck! On mailman, it's right after Chris says "Dirt beneath your feet" Hmm... the fobd video version has better sound quality then the orginal. But ltl and Ultramega Ok sound horrible. Bmf is a little better but the drums sound like Matt is in a cave somewhere. I can see why the wanted to produce themselves. They did an amazing job on Dotu, on applebite and Boot Camp it sounds like certain sounds are originating from mid air and not the speakers. Plus it is an amazingly warm recording for a cd. Switch Opens sounds amazing too, seriously if anyone has a stereo freak for a friend check out DOTU again, it sounds like a differrent album because you can hear so much more stuff.

The original Deep Six vinyl can now be found usually at collectible auctions, with mint copies selling from $40-$60, unless of course you live in Seattle, then the price is 2X or 3X the normal East Coast price. Someone was selling a vinyl copy about 2 months ago on alt.music.alternative; that's not a bad place to check...also check out rec.music.collecting.vinyl (or something like that). As seth said, and since I'm agonizing over beam redundencies, the CD reissue release CD is available just about anywhere. :) Steve - - ready to hunt down UB's paid UNIX expert and perform _____ on his ______.

Hey Everyone!! I've just been touched by the magic of SG...kinda. Anyway, I had to change the flat tire on my car. So I get home from school, get out all the shit, and change it to the spare...it took me AN HOUR! So I take the tire to the auto shop that does tire repairs, wait there while the guy repairs it, then lug it back to my house, and set it down to change it. However, I got smart this time, and decide to crank "Superunknown". Anyway, faster than you could say "unsubscribe", I was dONE! It seemed fast, anyway. I took me My Wave, FoBD, Mailman, and 2 min of Superunk to finish. (Does anyone else ever measure time in SG songs?) Oh fun. Gregg - -- "Fall into single file line" -- S.

But I did find the time to run home and get my BMF/SOMMS and Stolen Prayers CD. As I sit here suffering (don't you feel sorry for me), I was looking at the jewel box for Stolen Prayers and the cover picture of Chris is just the way I see Chris in my mind when he is singing. I guess it's what I picture a true rock'n'roller should look like - I know silly but bear with me... In this picture he has a feeling on his face, not a look, a feeling. He is doing just what he was created for.. God, I envy people who face each day knowing they are doing what they want to do with their life. It must be a wonderful feeling for Chris and the guys to create and perform their music. And just a bit more, 4 track "Missing" I never really listen to it (really listen) as I did tonight. I found myself repeating it - it has a very hunting sound. Really like it.. If you turn the volume and bass up at the end the drums give your that pounding feeling in your chest.. to bad I'm not a true Soundgarden fan like Mr. Bortnik!!!!

Okay, now I am not on a pesdistal or anything, but you guys are going crazy. I mean, if the guy wants to go, then let him. If anything, you don't want somebody like that contributing to the list anyways. If you disagree and think that it is cool to get back at him because he differs in opinion, then you have to listen closer to the lyrics ma man! I say, let him go, this mailing list is open to get on, should be the same to get off.

Just some fyi: From Houston to El Paso is about 750 miles (1650 km) so it's alot father than you think. Now Houston to Austin isn't bad at all: about 150 miles (330 km). But still... 600 miles from Austin to El Paso. Check out a map of East Coast America & you'll see that Soundgarden is playing shows alot closer together than 600 miles! Mind you all these distances are estimates. I don't have a map here so I can't give exact distances.

After browsing around for about 15 min, the stupid store manager started following me. I guess he thought I was gonna shoplift or something, which is pretty much impossible since they only store the jewel cases and keep the CD's behind the counter, but I digress. Anyways, when I finally picked out a CD that I wanted, (UK Bimh single) he gave me the wrong cd! I mean, it was the bimh single but the australian one, not the UK one. Difference being, the UK one has "She's a Politician" and an interview with Chris. These kind of people make me mad! (the store manager) He was too busy watching over me and didn't even pay attention to what he put in the jewel case. Anyways, I'm just so mad. Maybe it was a mistake. But I'm still so mad. PS - Does anyone have any suggestions for taking creases out of posters? I got a poster with the CD and it's been folded like a million times over. And before I hang it, i'd like to get out the creases and wrinkles :> ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 249] ****************************************
