The same goes with Chris Cornell voiced vocalists...I'm willing to pretend i can do CC's vocals, i just need to find a band to back me....There's no way i could play guitar and hit those notes at the same time....So, anyone in the triangle (NC) play bass/guitar/drums and want to start a Soundgarden tribute band...what will it be called?

I was buying for total of 7 fellow sommsters, for the first night, and 3 for the second night. It's true that the early bird catches the worm...as being the early bird paid off quite well! We all got increadible orchestra seats for both nights: 11th row Orch. on Dec. 1st and 7th row Orch. on the 2nd. We are also anxiously awaiting Seattle and *Hater* on halloween. And I will once again, be getting me and others, tickets for the San Diego shows, when they go on sale.

Last summer while I was at lollapoloza, Soundgarden started playing a song that I had never heard before. I figured it was on louder then love, but recently I came across the album and it wasn't there. They thing about the song was, it was very melodic. Then suddenly on purpuse Chris went out of key and said, "Jesus Christ is a fucking whore". Cool I thought, well I want a copy of this song! Could someone please tell me what it is called? THANKS, joec ------------------------------ From: Cornell Subject: Re: Found this on the SG newsgroup today :> Hey guys... before you get all worked up over this girls w/condoms thing, remember how we heard it...through a newsgroup (where truth often gets distorted) from a friend of this girl Jill who met a guy who supposedly worked backstage at a Soundgarden concert... So we're left with a lot of questions Is Jill lying? Is her friend lying? Is the bouncer lying? Was the guy even a bouncer? How many people do we know that have been backstage that HAVEN'T seen anything of this sort? Wouldn't CC be uh, SORE??!!! I mean, c'mon... No one has that sort of sex drive.

How about GOODMANUALDIGIT or Shitty Well Knowns? toni There's a band called Seattle that is kind of a Seattle tribute band. I've never heard them, but my brother has seen them many times in Erie, PA. I guess they do SG, PJ, AIC, and Nirvana mostly. I guess that kind of counts, but not really a SG tribute band. Oh well, I tried my hardest. Oh yeah, and Shroom, I can supply the Twinkies that you are going to trade Hiro for the pictures of Chris. You can keep the pictures for yourself though, hehe.

The tribute bands to Zepplin and Pink Floyd? The lead singer of PG sounds so much like Plant that it isn't funny, and he even walks and moves like him too.

Yes, and it was very scary. Some friends of mine who were in bands decided to try and be nice to me, and they tried to cover some SG songs at my 21st birthday party. They attempted JCP (the drummer couldn't hang with it, and it threw the rest of the band off), Outshined (jeez, even *I* can play most of this song on the guitar... well, ok... not the solo. ;-), Beyond the Wheel ('cuz it's one of my faves... and they totally BUTCHERED it), Big Dumb Sex (how could anyone resist it?) and a few choice others. It was awful... but I love my friends for it! They weren't a SG cover band... they were a SG parody band. =) It really made my day... >And if you were going to put together a Soundgarden Tribute band >what would you call it?????? How about "God and His Buddies?" Oh, sorry... mybad. Heheheh... gonna get people mad at me again. Ummm... "Look at Our Singer's Sexy Body." That could be for pre-Superunknown stuff (when exploiting Chris was oh-tay!). Heheheh... Ok, maybe "The Jesus Christ Poseurs?" That would have fit my friends bands. =) I'm so nice... I was listening to Tad's "Inhaler" CD today, and I happened to glance through the "thank you" part. Heheheh... they spelled SG as two words... Sound Garden. And they spelled Kim's last name with two L's. Kim Thayill. Go figure, huh?

I > love SG because their music is energetic...not really because of the > lyrics. When I do pay attention to them, I find that they are sort of > despairing, but vigorous and violent as well... Chris Cornell's lyrics are one of the main reasons I love SG so much. In fact, I would have fallen head over heels in love with Chris, even if he wasn't physically gorgeous, just because of his lyrics. And I guess you could say some of them are despairing. Its the emotion in the lyrics that touches my heart and soul. Guess I'm gushing, but I can't help it - I'm a total lyric person, and SG lyrics are the greatest.

How about GOODMANUALDIGIT or Shitty Well Knowns? toni Yeah, I have heard a cover band do a couple Soundgarden songs. This was mostly during the SuperUnk time tho. One cover band called themselves 'Sound of Seattle" and all they played was seattle bands (well the ones everyone knows anyway. Songs I have heard are Spoonman, My Wave and Black Hole Sun. (think that is it) As for Tribute bands, nope. I know of Pearl Jam ones, RHCP ones, Nirvana ones etc etc but not one Soundgarden tribute band, wierd isn't it! seeya Lee ------------------------------ From: oponfam@cnsnet.com Subject: Re: Heroin in Cornell's music me wrote: (that looks pretty weird) > But surely, if he wrote the songs he should know better than anyone else > what they're actually about!?! > True.

Every songs great to me but my friends don't like it. I'm trying to seduce them, I won't. BTW, I'm envy you guys. I haven't been SG concert. Only just seeing Luder than Live and Motorvision. I have craved to be in SG concert, but there's no chance to. The only news source of SG is nesgroup and web. Once in a while just drop by and collect unknown facts about them. It makes me happy, but makes me see them playing in my own eyes. Also, in Korea - I'm in Korea.- no single is sold except very popular band's one. All kinds of isolation from really seeing SG makes me just listen their album. Actullay I have 3 DotU CD, and 3 CD and 2 tapes of Badmotorfinger, 2 CD of Super unknown. Recently, I make some contacts via internet, who can send more stuff about SG. I have a plan to collect every album of SG including single and EP not bootleg and imported one. Please excuse my poor English skill and have a nice day! SG rules everything!! Bye.

I'm proud to announce the debut of The Ugly Truth, the unofficial Soundgarden FAQ, compiled by none other than Justin Nicholls (Blind Dog). There will be monthly updates, around the 15th of each month (to offset the Song Of The Month, which appears on the 1st), and a text-only version will be available soon (for those who wish to print out the whole thing at once). The URL for The Ugly Truth Version 1.0 is http://www.sgi.net/soundgarden/faq/ -- if there are errors in the HTML, let me know, because that's my responsibility. If you have comments about the content of the FAQ itself, use the link on the page to email Justin or email him at s325961@student.uq.edu.au. AND... I'm also somewhat proud to announce the debut of the Unofficial Hater Homepage, produced by, well, me. :) As much as I hate to say it, it looks best with Netscape 3.x and a default font size of 11, though it will work with just about any browser. The URL for the page is http://www.shocking.com/hater/ -- let me know what you think. seth ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 273] ****************************************
