Re: Female Fans Re: cover versions Re: Louder than Live & Motorvision Re: Alice Cooper versions ------------------------------------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: holy water on the brain... I was just reading through an article with the band from _making music_ 1994 (thanks to uk deb and setheo), and part of it made me think of that thread on chris' singing, and how he takes care of his voice. I know some listers were pretty disparaging of how chris works in this regard, so I hope this clears things up somewhat. btw, the article is *excellent*, and I encourage everyone to read it in full. here is the excerpt: Do you go through any particular rituals to keep your voice in shape? He laughs: "Smoke a lot, drink a lot. I used to do daily vocal training, but for me it didn't work. I hate to say that in print and them some kid will go and wreck his voice, but I did learn a lot from my lessons. For the first couple of years though, I would learn the theory and then it would all just go straight out of the window as soon as I got on stage, I'd just start screaming again. Gradually though, it became automatic, knowing the right thing to do and the wrong thing to do. It took a lot of years of experience to make my voice strong, and so now I don't even need to warm up, I just do the soundcheck and then go sing." "There was one time we did 18 shows in a row, so I've put my voice through a lot of shit in the past and I think it's paid off." ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: how would I know that this would be my fate... in a lame attempt to begin some conversation - what do listers feel is soundgarden's weirdest tune? I was considering that it might be a two-horse race between the almost-ambient jerry garcia's finger and the drone of motorcycle loop. but then exit stonehenge reared its odd looking head :) I think in the end that the loop wins, simply because kim makes his guitar sound like a motorcycle amongst the tweaking and tinking drums/bass in the background. not to mention the backwards vocals at one point. btw, chris says something towards the end, but I can't get it all. he says something like "_______, what are you doing?" I'm pretty sure it isn't kim, but other than that...any ideas, fellow listers? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: Greg Bensimon Subject: Yodelling Pig -- SOMMS Update A few weeks ago, someone on the list (Vasant?) mentioned that Yodelling Pig Records (or something like that) had two copies of SOMMS on hand. Well, I've been pestering them ever since. Seems all I ever got was an answering machine saying they'd get back to me. They finally did call back yesterday, but they said they'd already sold both copies. So... where did those copies go? Anyone out there in SOMMS land get one (or both) from the Yodelling Pig guys? - -- Still scouring the land, - -- Still searching for my copy of SOMMS (with my good eye closed)... Greg ------------------------------ From: cs95ajs@brunel.ac.uk I know this may seem a silly question, but what is Mr. Godzilla in relation to sg? Also, where can Seasons be found? ppl keep saying how much they like it etc and I have never seen it anywhere - it's driving me nuts! Oh yeah, somebody was saying about UOK and screaming life/fopp, I personally find UOK a little hard to listen to because, it is far rawer than any of the other albums. Screaming life/FOPP is however more like BMF (which I and I think everyone else love) - it is worth getting alone for Nothing To Say which I reckon is one of the most amazing sg songs (the song is worthy of mucho praise). Does anyone agree or am I completely off here? Andy ------------------------------ Subject: Re: Real Fan or Not!!!

WE ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO GET TO MEET THE BAND!!! Yours truly just got a phone call from Silver Management regarding a letter I wrote requesting some kind of recognition for the somms convention meeting in Chicago! I couldn't believe it. I saw our message machine blinking and my husband said, yeah there's some call, must be a sales call or something (he didn't have a clue). When I listened to the message I could have killed him. Of all times for him to not pick up the phone. Anyway, after I stopped shaking I called back. Erin Haley, who handles that stuff, wants to arrange for us to meet the band! It will only be a "walk-through", not anything long unless the band decides to hang out, but I told her we'd be thrilled with anything. I need for everyone who is going to the Chicago show(s) to email me and let me know what night you are going. Since I'm only going to the Saturday show I will definitely want to arrange the meeting for then, but who knows, maybe if there's enough people both nights she will consider doing it Sunday too. I need this info as soon as possible so I can get it to her and get things set up. I sent this to the list because I don't have everyone's address who is going. Well Shroom it looks like you were right. You said I would meet them someday, and unless I meet an untimely death before Nov. 9, I really will! God, please don't let this get screwed up somehow.

To the rest of yas, in reaction to our dear shroomy's story, I must tell you this. 1. My b'friend is going to be Chris for halloween, 'cuase he's says he want's to be my baby instead of Chris. Hey, I must say, he doesn't have to work hard. He just needs to spike up that hair, and grow some facial hair. 2. My parents think I'm totally weird 'cause I carry pictures of the guys in my wallet, next to my identification card. so does everyone that asks me "Who the hell is Chrissy?" I just pull out the pic(not the best of him, but I have the best on my wall)and explain why he's my dear Chrissy. so far, 3 gals like him with the long hair, 4 didn't notice that the guy with the long hair, and the guy with the short hair(before and after pictures)is the same guy(nope there aren't 5 guys in the band. 3. so what if my room and my locker(my locker buddy is pissed 'cause of this)is filled with soundgarden. 1 of my friends is just as bad wtih the Monkeys, and I know this girl who is obsessed with Korn. So, what's so bad? Ok, enough parent grief, I have to come up with ideas on how to stop my friend from jumping on the stage and molesting Chris.(poor Rachel) And marry Chris(as my dumbass dad says----Who's that guy who looks like he's always high..oh ya that Corn guy.)or my mom who practacly insulted him. the original preety noose ------------------------------ From: Monnica Lewis Subject: RE: Female Fans Badmotorfinger.

Get the same reaction from people who meet me.

Coming from a Def Leppard fan, I naturally didn't take this seriously, but it got me thinking... SG has covered more songs than most bands I know, and I was wondering what you guys thought the best cover versions are. I don't know if this has ever been asked before, but since it hasn't in the last few months, I'll give it a try. I know a lot of you people have seen them live at least once and have some of their cover versions as b-sides, so my two questions are: 1. Which is the best/worst cover version of a song SG has ever performed on stage? (eg. Waiting For the Sun, etc.) 2. Which is the best/worst cover version of a song SG has recorded? (eg. Come Together, etc.) those who haven't seen them live, can ignore the first question. I hope that at least some of you will reply :) thankyou, thankyou, thankyou...... sabrina ------------------------------ From: Chris Mackenzie Subject: BUTOW vid inspired by Clockwork Orange!!! I read this on the official page... I love "A Clockwork Orange" - the book is good too, I can't wait to see this fucking video... October 24, 1996 "BLOW UP THE OUTSIDE WORLD" VIDEO PREMIERE Soundgarden's "Blow Up The Outside World" video is tentatively scheduled to premiere on MTV on Friday, November 1. Directed by Devo's Gerry Casale, it was filmed over a two-day period on a soundstage at Los Angeles' Occidental Studios. Inspired by Clockwork Orange, among the more memorable images on the video are the shots of singer Chris Cornell sitting strapped into an ominous-looking, chair-like contraption, watching a performance video of the band, while creepy medical types administer shocking images on the monitor. [Check out the pictures of Chris in a suit on the Bulletin Board page - these shots were taken at the video shoot.] "We anticipate this video to go into heavy roation right away," a spokesperson for the band's management told iMusic. "MTV is very excited about it." Soundgarden hooked up with Casale after touring with Devo as part of this year's Lollapalooza line-up. A spokesperson for Commotion Pictures, the agency that represents Casale, said after Lollapalooza came to an end, "He [Casale] got a call from the band saying they wanted him to come up with a concept for their next video. He presented it and they lovedit. And they love the video, too. Which is even better." Casale co-founded Devo, along with Mark Mothersbaugh, anddirected all of the band's videos, including the by-now legendary "Whip It" video. In recent years, Casale has directed avariety of short projects - including the Foo Fighters' "I'll Stick Around," and a video for the Toadies. - -- Chris Mackenzie - cmackenz@spots.ab.ca - The Unofficial Wellwater Conspiracy Homepage - http://www.spots.ab.ca/~cmackenz/ - "Wellwater tastes better than tap water any day!" - SWRJr. ------------------------------ From: UnknMan@aol.com Subject: happy birthday Eliza & BUTOW single I'd like to make everyone aware that today's Eliza's birthday.

If ever there was Doors tribute album & they recorded this in the studio I'd list it as my favorite studio cover (probably). worst - "Big Bottom" - A dumb song that truly exemplifies butt-rock / cock-rock & a song I think Kiss would do. The few versions I've heard sound good (performed well) but you can dress up an ox in a party dress but I doubt it will get invited to the senior Prom. I know this was done as a joke-type encore song but I can still not like it (c: Then she asked: >2. Which is the best/worst cover version of a song SG has recorded worst - "Homicidal Suicidal" - Never liked it... no big deal. best - "Into The Void" - It seems to be the only 'serious'-feeling studio cover.

THEY SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only redeeming quality was Chris singing back-up on "Stolen Prayer". I hope SG puts out finished versions of both songs, and everything else on SP for that matter. And I hope to God that Chris never lets somebody butcher his songs like that anymore. His music is far to powerful and soulful for a Cheeze factory like Alic Cooper to even attempt. Whew.............. I feel better now! Anyone else agree with me? - -lance- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 284] ****************************************
