"Somebody's best friend died" until Thursday those were just words in a Soundgarden song (the one Ben..jammin wants them so badly to play) but now they are talking about me. My best friend, David died on Thanksgiving afternoon. He was diagnosed with AIDS in April 95. And in that time it has been very difficult to watch a loved one die by inches. Sometimes the sadness overwhelms you. But in the last 15 months I have had an "out" so to speak and that is where all of you come in. I could come home from spending endless hours watching him struggle to survive during one of his hospital stays and bring in my mail and forget about all the pain for a little while. Sometimes the things people posted would make me laugh, sometimes it would make me angry but it would give me time to go somewhere else for a little while. And I want to thank you all for that. He did not like my Soundgarden activities in fact he seemed jealous and told me I was trying to make new friends to replace him when he was gone but what he didn't realize was the list was a lifeline for me. It would pull me out of sorrow and give me companionship and happiness. In one month I went from the joy of Sommsfest in Chicago and the prefect weekend to having one of the longest most painful days in my life. It's amazing but it is also what we call life! And it goes on! And this morning as I sat at 4:30am unable to sleep, through swollen red eyes I read Shroom's post about meeting the band and I smiled the first time in 24 hours and I was happy for her. To all of you that "know" me well and care. I am OK! I'll be in touch. And to David "Guess there's only one thing left to be said....Say hello to heaven" I'll miss you........toni ------------------------------ From: "DashosheE" Subject: Cornell/Plant Just found this on the Digital Grafiti list..thought you all might want to see it, its rather interesting. "Like their earliest model, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden gives their songs a big bottom, not to mention Cornell's choirboy-from-hell vocals, which owe a big debt to Led Zep's Robert Plant. Both bands offer heavy metal (! - my exclamation - je) for people who don't necessarily like metal, and they both attract a larger female audience than most hard-rock outfits...(interesting to refer to LZ attracting live audiences in the present tense, isn't it? I wish - je) The difference is in restraint and the stripped-down rawness the Garden boys learned from punk. (warning! Jimmy/LZ fans!...extreme outrage coming... - je) Soundgarden's Kim Thayil doesn't play the guitar with a violin bow or any of that hokey stuff. In fact the closest he came to an extended guitar solo was on a cover of the Stooges' "Search and Destroy"... (somebody hold me back before I rip Michael Corcoran a new one...well, I guess musical taste and intelligence vary...and some people have neither! - je) ______________ Come on in and take me on an override ______________ dashoshe@neca.com http://www.neca.com/~dashoshe ------------------------------ From: "Scott D. Briggs" Subject: Cold Bitch Does anyone know were I can find the song "Cold Bitch." The vocals are amazing. I heard on Q104.3 in New York about a year ago but not since. Please help me. ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Soundgarden live in MY living room!!!!! Not really (unfortunately), but how do you follow Shroom!!!!? It's just my report on MTV's Soundgarden Live n Loud... Well, it turned out to be five songs recorded live in the MTV studio in London and intercut with short clips of the band introducing each song. I think they were somewhere like LA for that because it was very sunny (Chris wore shades) and they were sitting on the ground against a whitewashed wall. They were trying to stop laughing through most of this - sort of, what the hell am I doing here holding an MTV microphone and introducing an MTV special!? Ben couldn't even *look* at the camera. Songs in order: Burden in my hand Spoonman Blow up the outside world Mailman Black Hole Sun Musically they were brilliant (no surprises there!)Luckily MTV didn't indulge in *too* much of their epilepsy inducing camerawork so we got lots of close ups - of the guitars as well, guys! :-) Highlights were Chris and Kim introducing Blow Up Kim to Chris: Did you mention we're better than the Beatles? Chris: I thought we *were* the Beatles Kim: Well right! I thought it was God. During Spoonman, where the spoon bit usually comes Chris did this cool thing with his guitar. Kind of staccato plucking with the plectrum on one of the bottom strings and using the rings on his left hand as a slide. Sorry, I'm not very good on the technical explanations, but it sounded great! Fashionwise - Chris was in his now customary black. He had a badge pinned to his lapel but I couldn't read it. Ben: the leather trousers! Kim (for Toni and USDeb): hair tied back, but no baseball hat. Striped shirt over (I think) Tool tee shirt. Matt: Screaming Trees Dust tee shirt. Anyways, I hope everyone gets the chance to see it sometime on their local MTV. BTW I have just come across a couple of interesting Soundgarden articles from Seconds in 90 and 91, which I will be sending to Seth in the next couple of weeks. But as a taster... "Madonna could sing 'Michael row your boat ashore' and still give guys boners" - Chris "I see the whole music industry as this crusty old dude, trying to take a shit and it can't come out." - Matt "Like the slow, arduous torture of all-night sex with an ugly heifer, 'garden's groove is nasty and unpleasant, but ultimately gets the job done in a perversely satisfying way." - the interviewer UKDeb ------------------------------ From: UnknownFan@aol.com Subject: Re: Hype review hi jamie and everyone else-- i saw hype on wednesday night and enjoyed it very much. very entertaining and informative. the theater was not as crowded as i expected--we got there 40 minutes early, but it didn't matter much. there were 3 of us, but no one from the somms list could go. (guess i will have to wait until the pizza party at jamie's to meet everyone!) the first part of the film inspired me, like "hey, you know what? i should go buy a guitar and form a band!" the second half made me feel like a sucker for buying into all of the "hype." not that it detracted from my love of the music (that is very real), but i felt kinda nerdy for my numerous pilgrimages to seattle and subpop-land and buying doc martens (a least i bought them in the uk!) etc. as you probably already know, sg performs nothing to say, but it is portrayed through a photo montage, not live footage (if my memory serves me...). hiro gets a definite nod. by the way, kim thayil gets *a lot* of screen time (matt is with him, but doesn't speak much.) the lighting in these scenes is quite warm and flattering for kim and matt--they both look very handsome. also susan--gosh, she is definitely deserving of chris--comes off as very intelligent and looks absolutely beautiful (even in close-up!.) i bought the soundtrack yesterday and it looks great. i recommend the flick and the cd to everyone on the list. that's it for now, laura ------------------------------ From: UnknownFan@aol.com Subject: shroom in texas hi-- just quickly wanted to add that shroom's stories were amazing! i am impressed that you kept your cool during all of those sg close encounters. and the anklet story almost made me cry (along with the erin bringing seth to chicago story.) who knew that punching a bunch of key strokes to 700 anonymous people could be so real and touching? laura ------------------------------ From: al589553@campus.cegs.itesm.mx (David E. Gutiirrez) Subject: Re: 1- Houston show =) About my experience in the Houston show. The day of the show I have to go to class at 7:30 A.M. go to the airport take the flight at 12:15 I arrive in Houston at 1:30. Go to my hotel in a bus, that took like one hour, and check in. Then in my room I decided to call Ticketmaster to check my reservation to pick my tickets and they told me that they have a problem because I don't have my credit card and that if I want to pick my tickets I have to arrive early. I only remember that I run to take a taxi and go to the International Ballroom. I arrive there at 4:30 P.M. and when i pay the taxi I heard the intro of "Head Down", one of my favorite songs, I went nuts running around the place trying to find a window or something to see but the place . They played the whole song and it sounded amaizing without any interference, just the band playing. Then totally frustrated for not finding any place to see inside I get back in line, only three people where early than me The soundcheck continued and played "Mailman", a little jam, and "Rhinosaur". The weather started to get colder and colder, I lend my jacket to a girl next to me that only had a t-shirt on,I started to feel a little ansious. Finnally around 7:00 P.M. the door opened, I don't have any problem to get my ticket it was just a misunderstending and they were sorry. Shroom wrote: >>It was Pablo from the list!! Wow!! I was so glad to >>meet another SOMMSter and have someone to hang out with! Pablo flew up from >>Mexico just for the Houston show, which I thought was too groovy! He was >>there early enough to hear the soundcheck, too (lucky guy!). It was a blast >>talking to him... so thanks to Pablo for being such a great person and >>hanging out with me. =) > After that I checked the shirts and bought one. And when I was looking for a place to see the show I see a redhaired woman, It was Shroom, what a wonderful girl, I introduce myself and we started talking. We see together Pond and RFTC, and before SG we split because I preffer to see the show in the middle and she go to the front. The show was allready reviewed so I only will say that it was incredible, definitely worth it, all the show were amaizing. Special highligths: Matt's drums in Pretty Noose, Rhinosaur, even better than the soundcheck, and of course JCP ; the cover of Helter Skelter, My Wave, Outshined, Hands all Over, FOBD and Black Hole Sun, for many time that song was death for me and Chris solo version was so refreshing and different. > Pablo and I went around back to where the buses were. > They wouldn't let us stand too near the buses, so we stood around a bus stop >that was fairly close. We had an excellent view of everything. We hung out >there with a few other people for about an hour waiting for the band> There >were two girls and a guy there who I had thought were big fans like us... but >when the guy urged the girls to talk about Hater to Ben when the band came... After the show I see Shroom again and we go to the back to wait for the band. I was so excited about coming to the show that I never thought of actually meeting the band. So we wait in the bus stop for hour and a half, the singer and drummer of Pond started to talk with the guy and the girls there. Pond are really nice people. > He signed my >DOTU cover "To Shroom... Matt Cameron." I was so happy that he remembered >me! Pablo told him how he had come all the way from Mexico for the show, and >Matt was really impressed. =) I tore apart my DOTU book so Pablo got >autographs, too. Eventually Mark (SG's soundman) came out and was talking to >everyone. He gave Pablo and I Soundgarden guitar picks (awesome)! Then he >told everyone this really funny story about when he met Eddie Vedder. After a while Matt came out and started to sign autographs to all the people there, Shroom and I were the last and then Matt recognize Shroom that was so incredible and totally unespected, so Shroom hand Matt her DOTU book and he signed and I feel horrible because I don't anything to give Matt to sign and Shroom very generous give me the back of the DOTU book so I could have his autographs. When I tell Matt I came from Mexico he stops signing and looks directly at me and says somenthing like that is so cool and ask me if I like the show. I only could say yes.Then Matt go inside a bus.After that the soundman, who looks like a Kim relative, came and give Shroom and me some guitar picks and start telling a story about Eddie Vedder. Then we go to the band's bus and Kim was there signing autographs and been very gently and funny with the people there, meanwhile Ben was inside the bus looking at us with a huge smile all the time. After all I just can say that past Tuesday was one of the most important nights in my life and I want to thank Shroom for beign so incredibly nice to someone she didn't know, wish I could have gone with you to the Austin show, and Seth for running the list that make able Soundgarden fans to meet and help each other and without the list I would never know about the shows. Juan Pablo PD: sorry if the post is to late , but I have two final test on Friday. ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: Shroom and SG I'm so jealous and happy that you finally got to meet SG! This is only my second post, but I know all about you! :) There was a SG show Nov. 24 in Nashville that I could have went to, but was unable. I feel like I was there after reading your adventures. I don't feel to sad about not being able to go now. I still want to go see them so badly, but circumstances prevent me. Everybody: Please tell in detail about your SG experiences!! I want to know so badly!! Also, I still want to know about Screaming Life (book) and New Metal Crown and this CD book. I can't find any of them anywhere around here! Any information would be appreciated!! May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: Josh_Garza@teachnet.edb.utexas.edu (Josh Garza) Subject: Re: Cornell/Plant-A 'nice' analogy about soundgarden I read this review in the 'Austin American Statesman' newspaper too..... and you just have to take in account that Michael Corcoran just is um... not very 'smart'. (he's an idiot!!) Another thing that the always remarkable Corcoran brought up in the review titled -Soundgarden connects with bare, polished metal-, was that "The set's Most Valuable Player award goes to Ben Shepard. I wasn't near Ben for most of the concert but from what I saw he was almost falling asleep it seems... Corcoran went on with this analogy or watever u call it saying "If the Garden sound was a room, the bass would be the bed. In Shepherd's hands(and framed by the powerhouse drumming of Matt Cameron), the bass was somethign to sit on, like on and sink into. It was where the love was made." heh, that's a way to put it i guess, but despite all of Corcoran's many unintelligent reviews, this one for SG turns out to be a postive one. which it better have been or i would have written this newspaper guy myself. owell..laterz, pencapchew ________________________________________________ dashoshe@neca.com writes: (somebody hold me back before I rip Michael Corcoran a new one...well, I guess musical taste and intelligence vary...and some people have neither! - je) - -- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- TeachNet, College of Education, University of Texas, Austin Texas - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: BMF in a box okay guys, i saw one today. i saw one of the 1000 worldwide editions of BMF in that white wooden box thing. it was purty neato. except the wrapping was taken off (the plastic wrap) and anyone could open it up, which obviously isn't a good idea anyways. well, so i took advantage of that fact and opened it up, took off the cardboard packaging around it as well, and pulled it out. it was, well, boring looking outside. it was white with a maroon circular saw thing, and a maroon and black sparkplug in the middle of that. not very intricate. so i opened THAT up and the BMF CD is in there and so is the regular insert that would have been in a jewel cased CD. inside was a little nicer. the fuzzy thing for the CD was black and the fuzzy thing for the insert was maroon. the insert was in great condition, but the CD hadn't faired so well. there was also this little black ingraved plate that said "limited edition 68 of 1000" so it was a good find i guess. but the CD itself looked to have a few light scratches on the back and one not so light scratch. the price for this Lt Ed was $54. 95 or something like that, which is expensive. my question is, if i were to argue the condition of the CD inside, could i possibly get them to sell it to me for maybe $10 less? and the biggest question, is it even worth it to buy this thing now that the CD isn't in it's mint condition? and i found both editions of the BIMH cd today, and the little white paper sticky thing, it said "burden in my *mind* #1" on it instead of BIMHand. is that rare? maybe not because they all said it. also saw the PN single w/o the poster. and one of the FoBD singles (w/ kyle petty + Birth ritual) used and cracked for $4.99. *sigh* and a Skin Yard single (didn't see which one...SORRY!) used and in good condition for only $3.99 or something. AND i also saw the boxed version of the AITS cd+. neat. *AND* i also saw the DOTU Lt Ed vinyl (clear, i'm supposing because i didn't make the guy open it up and i wasn't going to buy it, i'm not much for vinyl) for only $11.99. oh, and my BIMH single that i bought is from the UK. it's not the poster one, so it only has BIMH and Karaoke on it. i've never heard talks of this version before. i thought the other version had Birth ritual and something else on it as well?? am i wrong? well, enough of me for today. BTW, where IS everyone??? mind riot ____ it's a feeling that everyone gets. you're happy with your life, everything's going well, things are exciting-- when all of a sudden you realize you're unhappy in the extreme, to the point of being really, really scared. there's no particaular event you can pin the feeling down to, it's just that you realize one day that everything in your life is FUCKED!! ------------------------------ From: "Eric Stenroos" Subject: Singles Hi Everyone, My hubby and I watched "Singles" last night (GREAT FLICK!) and I caught all the obvious cameos of C.C. but I need to know if the Loudmouth Mime was also C.C.

I think that I was the only person from the list who went to the show in Phoenix, so I'll give you my impressions. Hopefully, my friend (Mr. Journalism major) will give his review to the list. I guess I'll just tell you all the quirky, cool things that I noticed about the show. - -first off, I should've gotten a little camera to bring in. They barely frisked me (this was the least I've ever gotten frisked in Phoenix), and I was right up front. - -Oh, is anyone noticing that concerts are beginning to appeal to the junior high crowd. Now, I'm only 19, but I felt like the oldest one there! And those 12 years olds are so stupid! I saw the same little kids crowd surfing and going over the barricade. But the only good thing about that was that when they landed on my head, they were light. - -Crowds pretty much suck. My neck is killing my from having 3 people land full on my head. And my ribs are sore from being smashed against the barricade. But I'm so glad that I held my ground and didn't get pulled back. The stage was quite close to the barricade. And I was also glad that the stage was quite low. I love being up close and personal. - -They played Hands All Over!!!! My friends and I were so stoked that they played a pre-BMF song!!!! - -ok, here's the funniest thing about the whole show. Chris says, "this song is dedicated to all the turkeys who are all now in Turkey Heaven"!!!! Being a vegetarian, I cracked up so hard at this comment. They he did BHS solo again. - -Now, no one has mentioned anything about show times before. The PHX show started at 5. After the crowd let off after the show was over, I looked at my watch...it was 8:20!!!!!!!!!!! 8:20?!?!?! Now, I was happy because I got to drive home (2 hours away), but shit!!! That's so early! Did this happen anywhere else, or is it just a Phoenix thing? I'm starting to think that the Mesa Ampitheater is too concerned about getting all these 12 year olds to bed before 10pm! - -I didn't get to see much of Matt, but he made me laugh when he came out for the encore...he did a CARTWHEEL! It was so funny. Chris thought so too because he laughed. - -Another Matt thing, he was playing guitar with Chris (well, it was sort of just feedbacky noise) before Blow Up the Outside World when they were showing that movie thingy. It was quite cool because Matt was standing up by his drums so he was silhouetted against the screen. - -Ben makes me laugh too. For the first half of the show, he was doing little dances and such...but near the end, people were pissing him off. The people I was w/ say he's an asshole, but I think he's just easily aggitated. - -Also, Ben smashed his bass to bits after Jesus Chrsit Pose. - -My friends made a good observation: Ben looks like he's up there just doing a job. He looked like he was not enjoying himself or the music. - -Hey, and during all the Down on the Upside singles so far, there were visuals on that background screen. But then they also had images for Dusty....so I was wondering, do you think that Dusty will be the next single? - -Well, I guess that's most of my observations about the show. Oh, everyone kept all their clothes on for the whole show. I don't blame them either,,,,it was fucking cold! True, Phoenix is warm, but when it's nighttime in November, it's only 50 degrees! I wish it would've been indoors. If there was no crowdsurfing, I'd say that this, my 4th SG show, would've been -the- perfect concert. bye Kelly ------------------------------ From: eliza Subject: he wields a ton of rage... forgive me one and all if this was posted already (i am still delirious)...but i dont remember seeing it, so here goes....from ATN with regard to the Rolling Stone stuff Chris was ranting about in the recent shows: >Then, last Friday, according to a source at the Silver >Management, the company that handles Soundgarden, one >of the Vedder's other Seattle brethren, Soundgarden's Chris >Cornell, weighed in with his feelings about the whole >situation several times.

I heard on KLOS (95.5) that Soundgarden will be interviewed on Monday (12/2/96) some time around noon. ------------------------------ From: Aferdity@aol.com Subject: Houston Show :) Well, by now you have read Shroom's and all the other SOMMSters posts and I really don't have anything to add except the show was GREAT. The opening bands really didn't do a whole lot for me because I was so ready for Soundgarden to take the stage. I was very amused at watching the dancer of RTC. He was quite entertaining, i guess. It was a way to pass the time. I was really close to the front and then got pushed to the middle but I could see just fine. The empty Safeway was one big mosh pit at first but after a while it calmed down where I was. All and all I have to say it was a kick-ass show. I have to admit that Chris being shirtless only made it better!!!!! The sound was good, the band was GREAT, and I made it out alive. The only thing I regret is not getting to meet any other SOMMSters. Maybe next time. Take care everybody and stay out of trouble!!!!!

Long time no post, but I just returned from my fucking expedition around Texas -- from Dallas to Austin to Houston to Shulenberg (don't ask where that is) and back to Dallas .... all in the name of Soundgarden and Thanksgiving dinners with the relatives. Shroomster has provided the ultimate Austin recap, so I'll keep this brief...went to the show with a couple of other old school Soundgarden fans.....I was greatly anticipating my 4th time to see the guys, one of friends tried to pretend like he was too old for live shows...he changed his attitude afterwards, after an intense show.... well, we got there at the end of RFTC, drank some beers as I scanned the maddening throng for Shroom....I finally gave up on trying and figured I'd see her by accident or not at all. When the lights went down, I quickly lost any intention of staying away from the front...I sprinted along the left side to the speakers, and started working to the stage. After three great songs filled with position jockying, in which I cursed myself for a lack of aerobic conditioning, I made it the second row of humanity next to the barricade, just to my left of Ben (who wins the motherfucking bad mood of the year award). I was constantly smushed, but in solid position.....there were a whole group of females in front of me, so I had the task of fending of the crush behind me without jamming my elbows and a hands into the backs of the girls... so I look over, and of course Shroom is 10 inches to my right...I poke her on the head and stupidly try to talk....I was actually right behind you for the whole encore, Shroom, trying not to jam you in the back with my elbows : ) After they left, I once again swore to renew my health club membership....and actually watched Shroom walk off, but was too tired to chase ( sounds like I should have stayed with you Shroom...contratulations) the group I was with kicked around the idea of waiting by the tour bus for about, oohhhh, three seconds before we retired for an evening of beer consumption. BRIAN'S INTERACTION WITH THE BAND: Brian: Hey Ben! Ben: What? Brian: What's up? Ben: My cock! Brian: <> What a guy, eh? Shroom, did you hear this? I know you heard me ask if he was gonna spit on us, but he didn't hear me....such the pouter, that Ben. Bass players arn't usually so morose, Ben.....Sid Vicious commited murder and then OD'd...top that and then we'll talk... : ) just kidding...... Matt, if you are reading....fucking phenom on JCP...you are the shit Kim on every song, quite a player.. Chris, well what can you say.....when he came a sang directly in front of us, and Shroom stuck her tounge out, the crowd stopped pushing, kicking, elbowing...moving, . . . and stared....what a presence that guy has. I hope he ate well at Thanksgiving, though.... Well that's it....nothing to look forward to for a while...I think I need a pilgrimage to Seattle sometime...Shroom is kicking the living shit out of me as far as band interaction goes...song dedications, flirting, hugs, food, autographs, gifts... all I have is a 1992 high five from Chris and Ben's above mentioned "more information than I needed" conversation.... JUST ONE fucking e-mail from Matt Cameron and I'd be happy for a while.... or not... : ) Later....Brian ------------------------------ From: m.perricone@swix.ch (Michael Perricone) Subject: Oakland-Show Hi list, I'll be at the oakland-show on Dec. 5th. Can I meet there any other SOMMsters? Post something on the list. See ya, Michael ------------------------------ Subject: just one question From: art.underwood@compudata.com (ART UNDERWOOD) Hey all you Soundgarden freaks! (me included) I don't post that much (about once a aweek) but now I have a very serious question...Well not really that serious. Anyway!! Enough of my rambling....On with the question If you could ask Soundgarden or any member of the band one and ONLY one question what would it be and why? I know it sounds really juvinille(sp) but hey,,who cares if it is. I would ask them expecially Chris how they come up with their lyrics? Really guys, there is so much to just the words of their songs besides the music... Well just wondering..c-yas *~PAM~* ------------------------------ From: BdMtrFngr Subject: Bush interview Allright, well i was reading my trusty Guitar World magazine and in it there was an article/interview with Bush. In the interview, their fag frontman GAvin Rossdale had this to say: "I can't really work my way through Soundgarden, that lot. A bit turgid, that...A fuckin' horrible heavy rock band." If you dig through that English dribble, I think he said soundgarden sucked....Excuse me but if soundgarden didn't exist, neither would bush. He goes on,"I mean Chris Cornell is obviously an amazing singer. He's probably got the best rock voice you can have, technically. And occasionally he writes these great Beatles-y songs, like "Black Hole Sun," which are really fantasitic. I also llike pretty noose." Wait i have it figuered out, GAvin is a 15 year old girl who watches MtV all day. Later Gavin tells us how good Hole is. ------------------------------ From: Aferdity@aol.com Subject: ?question? Just a quick question: I noticed at the Houston show, where I had the pleasure of watching Chris shirtless for most of the show, that Chris wasn't wearing his fork necklace, or whatever you want to call it. I also noticed this in the Details magazine pics. Just wondering why he isn't wearing it anymore because I always thought that that was the coolest piece of jewlery that he had and he's worn it for along time, hasn't he. Maybe he lost it?? Who knows. Well, sorry to ask just a stupid question but I was just curious. Later!! Toodles & Love, Kelly :) ------------------------------ From: jbellace@cosi.stockton.edu (John Bellace, Jr.) Subject: DOTU Best Album??? Personally, I think Dotu IS one of the best releases of the year. One, because by itself it is an excellent album. And, two, because there werent that many great albums released this year. I also like Aenima, but even more so I like October Rust by Type O Negative. Im sure there are others, but I can't think of any right now (symptom of the times??) Does anyone else have October Rust and agree with me??? It would be REALLY nice to see those three compete for album of the year next year, but we all know those people dont have the balls to go with such innovative and edgy creations. Instead well probably get fucking Oasis or some shit like that!!! God, please let that not be true... -J- ------------------------------ From: eliza Subject: Re: ?question? hehe, i stole it in Chicago and it is under my pillow....JUST KIDDING!!!

Gavin Rossdale wishes he was Kurt Cobain and he doesn't have half the orginality that Soundgarden has.
