Kathie, met him first, i wont steal her glory so ill let her tell her story...Lize was next, again she can tell her story...i was next...he shoke my hand, we exchange intros...his poor hands were frigged and i said "honey, your hands are so cold" and i sorta held mine around them and pulled them close me...*sigh*...he said "they are?" hehe...yes i am gonna post his every word to me, can you blame me? so, he signs his autograph for me and i dont know what exactly was said next, but the next words out of my mouth were, "no, but id sure like to lick Matt" chris just looks at me with this huge grin and says "i dont mind at all it you lick him" i know at some point i am gonna be mortified that i said that...but so far not...so then i get to meet Matt *sigh*...he is every bit as beautiful as i have always thought...then they continue to makes their rounds thru the group...Ben never came out for our group...towards the end of meeting Chris turns to Matt and says "so, Matt, did you ever get licked?" Matt just sorta grins....then Chris looks at me and says, "he lets me lick him all the time" *sigh* god thats something id love to see *grin*..so...i did get to tell Chris and Matt how much i appreciated their music and what a big influence the band has had on my life...oh, before i forget...the very first thing Matt said when he walked in the room was "where is Seth" he looked so excited that he was going to be meeting Seth...i think that is so neat...Matt also said that we were their true fans...*we* meaning the list as a whole...not the group in chicago...i kinda sorta had that feeling of pride at being associated at all with this list...even tho i dont entirely agree that we are the only true fans...cause not everyone has internet access, but it was a really nice thing to say...Matt, also seemed surprised at some of the of the obsure albums and stuff that people wanted signed...so that ends my segment of the big meeting...from there we were ushered out and the next group brought in...i talked to Erin for a bit and she said that what we got was very unusual...that the meet/greet thingy that radio contest winners and the like get is very different than what we got...she said that no one ever gets to go into the dressing room like we did, nor do they get to chit chat for a few like this...so for that i am very indebted to silver management for making this possible for us and for bringing Seth to us as well...the whole group was able to watch the show from the backstage/balcony area...sorta the whole VIP thing there as well...however Eliza, Biff *wow!!! what a cutie* braved the pitt anyway...for me, alot of my enjoyment is in the energy of the crowd and i really wanted to be in it...the pit was as bad, but not worse than any i have been in...bad at times, tolerable at others...basically, just being aware of your surroundings is the best survival skill to use...that, and Eliza and i stayed toward the fringes, yet still close enough to really have a great view...as for the show itself...i cant remember the entire setlist and i am sure others will contribute that anyway...the most incredible part to me was just how much fun they appeared to be having...Chris was playful on stage...he smiled alot and really looked to be enjoying himself...he and Ben smiled at each other alot and played around a bit...Ben was Ben...brash, rude, confrontational...he was Ben...he made obscene jestures towards the more redneckier people in the crowd...but in retrospect it was kinda funny...crude, but funny...funny mainly i think because the rednecks thought he was encouraging them, but i think really the case was more than he was making fun of their stupid behaviour...they played Rusty Cage...and before playing Chris dedicated it to Johnny Cash...now, that really is my fave released song of theirs...and the dedication was cool...but, to add to it all...i got to share it with a very special friend...Eliza...it was really almost emotional having such a great friend there with me, that totally understood the whole soundgarden thing...thanks Liza...they did a decent mix of BMF, SU, and DOTU...with a cover of helter skelter...Kim brought his dad out on stage and introduced him...that was neat...and that man is short...Kim did not get his height from pop...still, it was cool that we got to see his dad...Kim was grinning from ear to ear...i took pics of the show and of the group in general...hopefully some will turn out good enough to scan...after approval from the list people that are in the pics...looking forward to hearing more reviews... thanks to Kathie for having the initiative to contact silver...thanks silver and erin for making this possible and thanks toni and rita... all from me...

They said that some bands/music inherently need mosh pits to get the full effect of the band/music. OK. . .I gave them the benefit of the doubt on that one. B U T . . .they also said that it WAS NOT cool to beat the spleen out of someone while moshing. I agreed wholeheartedly. They agreed with me that it's stupid to pay a lot of cash to see a band and have to stay far away from them to avoid being killed. So I amend my prior statement. . .I guess mosh pits are fine as long as people aren't being killed and trampled to death. Not that I'm an authority on the subject or that my opinion matters all that much. . .but it IS just that. My opinion. Has anyone else had problems downloading JCP video? Lemme know what I can do (It took my piece o'shit Packard Bell 4 HOURS to download!) Anyway. . .I'm looking forward to the compilation!

By "old" pictures I assume you are talking about pictures taken between maybe 1988 and 1992? I thought Chris was beautiful with long hair and the short hair took a little while to get used to, but I like it now. Personally I don't look the same as I did 5 or 6 years ago, do you? I think Chris' hair suits who he is now, and from what I've read, the long hair wasn't really his style even then. After being right next to him last night (which I will write about after I've recovered a bit) I can tell you he is just fine the way he is.

Well, some of you may think this as a stupid and time wasting question but on the SG song "Hand of God", who is doing the speaking voice in the middle??? Is it the same person who does the preacher voice at the begining or is some one else??? I was just listening to that song and I got kind of curious. If you know or have any remotely close answer, PLEASE share it with me. I just want to say that everyone going to a SG concert, I hope you have a GREAT time and don't get hurt in the mosh pit.

Date sent: 10-NOV-1996 19:46:22 I just bought a copy of "Songs from the Superunknown" today. (Is this a rare CD?) "She Likes Surprises" is a VERY good song. I'm impressed by it. I also like the acoustic version of "Like Suicide" and the video vertsion of "Fell On Black Days." I never saw the video, so it came as a complete surprise to me. But what's this Jerry Garcia's Finger song? Is it making fun of the Grateful Dead? If it is, cool, because the Dead sucked. I'm grateful they're dead. :) Sorry about that last comment. I couldn't resist. :) Later, Michael Apple 60C Wilson Hall SUNY Plattsburgh Plattsburgh, NY 12901 appl1115@splava.cc.plattsburgh.edu ------------------------------ From: Aferdity@aol.com Subject: Just A Thought On Chris' Hair..... Hey All You Peoples Out There In SOMMSland, I was just watching Louder Than Live and what caught my eye, other than Chris' hair was long, was that Chris had a clean shave, and then I watched JCP and he had his facial fuzz. I did like Chris' hair when it was long(and it is a shame that he, a man, got blessed with such beautiful locks)and I like it equally now that it is short(do you think he has to do anything to get his hair to stand on end like that), but, to me, he looks most different when he lacks his face fuzz. I don't know if anyone out there agrees but that is just my opinion. Oh, the weirdest part about Louder Than Live is when they are singing I Awake and Chris lies on the ground and Jason got on top of him and they proceeded to do some really weird things. And for anyone who has seen the Hands All Over video; what do you think of it? Give me some input because I think it is a lame video concept. Well, if I look on the bright side, you get to see: Chris swing his gorgeous locks around, the whole band act like monkeys, them blow things up, and them break things. But if I look on the downside(no pun intended): the video is really stupid. But hey, who can complain as long as it's SOUNDGARDEN!! Am I right? Plus, they have moved on to better video concepts. Sorry to ramble on!!!! BYE! Hugz & Cyber Kisses!! :) Kelly *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*King of kings with a paper crown..... *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Lord of lords with sugar-coated lies..... ~Rages O. Dunnd~ ------------------------------ From: DeeDee Bradshaw-Autry Subject: Re: I got me anudder record. nope that isnt a rare CD...find it most anywhere...and cheaply too...but i agree that is a cool song... however, i most emphatically do not agree that the dead sucked...and i hope youll listen and take to heart what i say...first i do not and never have liked the style of music the dead did...it just doesnt appeal to me...however, to so they sucked isnt fair...give them credit where credit is due...a totally unique band with longevity almost unsurpassed in the industry...how many bands have the kind of following they have/had? none...not even our boys in SG have that kind of listener loyalty...and i think that is to be commended...not critisized... if you are the musician you claim to be then you should recall a little thing between musicians, and that is respect...and not slamming a fellow band for their musical talents...for example, last night at the chicago show, thru tenderloins entire set, Chris, Matt and Ben watched from backstage...i didnt like tenderloin...thought they were obnoxious...and the crowd didnt seem to entralled either...nonetheless, SG watched....and when the crowd booed rocket from the crypt...during SG's show, Chris had something to say about that as well...it shows respect...so, while you might not like the dead, i think that you should at least respect them, because they had/have talent...regardless of how much you like their style...

I was thinking of flying the coop with your $80 nothingman style, but I just couldn't go through with it. too honest, I guess :) the walk into town at about 3 am was interesting, and really didn't take very long. neither did the four and a half hour wait for the ticket booth to open, which surprised me because the wait for pumpkin tickets seemed to eat up a lot more time. I was kind of interested in talking to all the other people in the line just to see what they had to say for themselves, but they were generally asleep or something similar. silentjoe (thus named for his transformation from a moderate poster into a superlurker) also had a short nap, but I felt fine despite only two hours sleep. the only thing that concerned me this morning is that tickets to the lounge (an area in festival hall which is directly in front of the stage but elevated and set back about 30 meters from said stage) were not on sale. I was originally going to sit up there (for *perfect* view of the show, I might add), but I had to settle for standing tickets in general admission. I'd rather sit, but unless I want to sit to the side of the stage... anyhow, there were plenty of people lined up for tickets, and the prospects for a sell-out seem good. any other australian lurkers bought their ticks yet? and are the shows selling for around $38? and have there been many people lining up and buying? carolyn? mandy? have you bought your's yet? btw, the butow single should be out here in oz next monday (nov. 18), end of the week at the latest. look for it in your local record bar where all authorised soundgarden merchandise is sold :) ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide - words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 2 Issue 301] ****************************************
