However, I do think that since MTV has cornered the video-playing market, they do set a certain standard. Metallica and R.E.M. have also done videos with blatant Christ/God/religion symbolism. Those are the videos that win the awards (who cares), so maybe directors are subconsciously creating this stuff specifically for MTV (like the authors in Rolling Stone dissing artists constantly). At the same time, I see your point. I just wish there was another option! MTV sucks. Keep in mind that, mostly, I liked the video a lot. Re: the moshing thing.

Funny, I was just thinking of TOTD this morning, and how the beginning guitar licks in "Times of Trouble" are similar to Alice In Chains' beginning guitar licks on "Rotten Apple" on Jar of Flies. Anyone ever notice that? (If you have both releases, check those songs and see what I'm talking about.) Jonathan, I have to admit, when I first bought TOTD, I didn't think it was all that great. This was before I knew who Chris Cornell and Soundgarden were. I've had it for a few years now, and with my love of SG and PJ, I have grown to extremely like it--every song. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine asked if he could have it. I was like, "Hell NO!" I really like the song Reach Down, but I would have to say my favorite songs would be Times of Trouble, Wooden Jesus, and Four Walled World(Mike Mc Cready kicks ass on that one.)

More than half the songs on the setlist were hit singles released from the last three albums and nothing is played earlier than the Badmotorfinger era. It seems that ever since the tour began last June they ALWAYS play Spoonman, My Wave, Black Hole Sun, FOBD, Outshined, and other songs that were hits off the last 3 records and don't seem to have any sort of variation in the setlist. I thought that the band hated playing all hits off their albums! During the Superunknown tour they purposely didn't play Outshined because it was such a huge hit! Hell, Ben even said during an interview four years ago that he hated playing the song because it became so big. People only knew SG for being the "Outshined" band. So why bring back this song into the setlist now when it was avoided like the plague only two years ago?? The same is the case with "Black Hole Sun". When sales of Superunknown exploded two years ago, Black Hole Sun was the big single. Cornell was always not very enthusiastic about playing this song during that tour. But they didn't stop playing it. Even with the new solo version of the song on this tour, there isn't really anything new or amazing about the performance. I was yawning when they played it at Lolla 96' this year as all the so called "fans" started yelling and moshing along to this sleeper. I just wish they'd play other songs besides just the hits, ALL THE TIME. They should try at least play more songs off the new album like Overfloater, Tighter & Tighter, An Unkind, and Applebite. These songs have never been or are almost never performed live. Most of the time its just Pretty Noose and Burden, Outshined, or FOBD. At least try and freshen up FOBD by playing the demo version! And how about some older stuff from Ultramega OK like Beyond the Wheel or Flower?? Somehow though no matter how much I hope, I know they'll never play them... Well, anyway here's my setlist: 1.Fresh Tendrils 2.Head Down 3.Limo Wreck 4.Beyond the Wheel 5.Room A thousand Years Wide 6.Into The Void 7.Slaves And Bulldozers/8.Jesus Christ Pose (medley) 9.Christy 10.Kickstand 11.Ty Cobb 12.

But it was kind of a fucked up evening. I'll begin at the beginning: #1 I had the whole day off. Wnated to be at Arena by 2:00 - Asshole boss made me work until 3:00. #2 FINALLY arrive at about 4:00. Me and my friend Bill are numbers 5 & 6 in line. #3 Girls 1,2, 3, 4 tell us Chirs Cornell JUST LEFT 5 MINUTES AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAD COME OUT AND TALKED TO THEM FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS AND B.S'D WITH EVERYONE AND I MISSED IT BECAUSE i WORK FOR A PRICK. #4 DID NOT GET BACK STAGE PASSES #5 Opening bands: Yawn : O Enuff said HOWEVER SG KICKED ASS-------IN RARE FORM-------BETTER THAN IN '94 (My one bitch: they only play "hits") #6 And this is the worst: Utah SG "fans" (which they think they are but they are not) are complete fucking metal; head clueless fuck-heads. They don't understand the music or the complexity, the dynamics, nothing, they just want to jump around like a bunch of fucking retards. They are fucking concert goers who would be happy with any loud noise! EXAMPLE: Chris does his solo version of BHS. These dumb fuckers, literally, stand there all slack jawed like,"When are the BIG guitars going to come back in so we can surf some more????). They didn't even fucking get that IT WAS CHRIS DOING A SOLO FOR CHRISSAKES!!! #7 I was on the front row and felt like I had the shit kicked out of me by these fucking cock rocker concert goers. Now I'm not a little guy. I'm 6ft, over 200 lbs and I work out daily so I'm not fat. But I was getting the hell kicked out of me. One guy, ON PURPOSE, punched me in the face. And yes like an asshole, I beat the shit out of him. But he did do it on purpose because people were shoving me from behind into him. And I lost my temper. Sorry Caryn I fucking hate Utah. There are no true SG fans here (with the exception of Bill and myself) Thank God I'm going to see SG in Seattle December 11, with real fans that know the fucking music. don't get me wrong. The show was great, I love SG, and Chris is God, I love my fellow SOMMSters, but Utah concert goers are idiots.

Christmas at Ground Zero (originally by Weird Al Yankovic) 3. Funk Funky Christmas (Originally done by the New Kids On The Block. This one could turn out VERY interesting. :) ) 4. Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer 5. White Christmas 6. Up On The Housetop 7. There's something stuck up in the chimney (I love this song. :) ) 8. What's this? (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) 9. Frosty The Snowman 10. Jingle Bells 11. Deck the Halls 12. Santa Claus Pose (Hehehe. :) ) >p.s.

I went to the mall today and got myself a copy of the Singles soundtrack. It is SO good. :) I'm really glad I got it. Birth Ritual is a really good song too. Too bad, SG didn't put it on Badmotorfinger, because of the problems they had with the song arrangement. Okie, here's question for all of you: In Singles, when Soundgarden is playing in the club, Chris looks really nervous. I noticed this also when SG played Pretty Noose and BIMH on Saturday Night Live back in May. Does he always look that nervous on stage, or was he just really conscious that 20 million people were watching them perform?
