Re: Blow-up Single Re: Fresh Deadly Rareties my tool week ------------------------------------------------------------ From: JASNL@aol.com Subject: Oakland Show -- I'm sterile now. I got the most crushed I ever have been, but luckily it got better after "My Wave" (the fifth song). But in the meantime, my body got squeezed so hard that I think my ovaries popped. Oh well. I also almost got my shoulder dislocated my some guy who fell RIGHT on it. My husband, not a frail guy at all (6'4", strong dude), got sucked into the pit vortex and was down on the ground for a little while. But enough of that. I'd like to start with a review of the sound, because it has a huge impact on the experience, needless to say. While the drums were being sound checked, the woman in front of me (her hair smelled really good, and I smelled it a lot since we were all smushed together) said "Fuuuck, that's loud." The kick drum was so loud that the air from the speakers made my jeans flap, if that makes sense. But unfortunately, the guitars weren't very loud. The solos didn't cut through. So, actually is that the venue's fault, or sound people's fault? Anyway, Chris' voice...poor guy, he had a real hard time hitting those highs! It's been a long tour, I guess. It was hard for me to concentrate on the first few songs, since it was crushville (I was in the second row), but after a while I got a chance to really watch, especially Kim, who didn't make eye contact with me this time like he usually does. He doesn't love me anymore. Kim was REALLY ON TONIGHT!! Very expressive, moved around a lot, he and Chris had "guitar sex" (smashing each other's strings together)...There was a great moment where Kim was blowing on his strings to get sound out of the guitar, and Chris saw him, did the same thing, smiling...it was weird. (Guitar blow job.) I also loved the end of the show where Kim kept his guitar feedback going for I'd say at least 5 full minutes, plucking the strings now and again as it lay on top of his speaker, dancing to the feedback,...it was a damn beautiful thing. I'm not certain everyone else "got it". Chris kept his damn shirt on the whole time, just like every other time I've seen them. He doesn't love me anymore, either. Gray long sleeved shirt with a collar and a V neck. The three guitarists all had black jeans on. Ben and Kim had black T shirts on. Matt had shorts on but I could barely see him. He only made one mistake, a KILLER roll which he came out of just a little late. Oh well. He still kicked, and the band compensated for it very well. Chris was somewhat interactive with the crowd, but not very verbal. Walked around a lot. Towards the beginning of the show, he yelled, pointing to someone in the crowd, "YOU! Yes, YOU! You're on hallucinogenic drugs. I can tell, because you have lizard skin." He also told us: "We're not A & R people, so don't throw us tapes." (I almost brought one of mine. Glad I didn't.) Chris did not play guitar on more than a couple songs this time, which surprised me. I can't remember which -- does anyone else?? Anthony? (Sorry I missed you, buddy.) Chris also played BHS solo, as you know, and before that song, told the people in the pit that he was going to play some "lounge music" and that they had to work out their issues amongst themselves. I wish they would go somewhere else to work out their issues, rather than crushing us all and ruining our fun. The next time I'm THAT close to THAT many people, they'd better be naked. Chris did not look skinny to me. I think he's carrying himself with more of a slouch and hunched shoulders than usual...maybe that contributes to him looking thin? Ben was in a bad mood, not in a good way. Did not stalk, did not make obscene gestures at me, did not spit, that I saw. He doesn't hate me anymore. Left the stage early during the last song before the encore. They played "Hands All Over"!!! I love that one. Nice to hear the oldies once in a while! Thanks guys!! I've never seen them be more entertaining! Sorry, long post. Good night. Sally ------------------------------ From: Eric Gardner Subject: Oakland Holy shit, was it loud. I admit to a lack of concert experience, I've been to less than a dozen in my 34 years, but this one was very loud. The bass and drums were out in front, guitars and vocals were just a little behind. I moved around the hall, staying far away from the crush of people at the front. There were bleacher seats high up that were in the same lateral plane as the stage, and from there (on Ben's side) I had an excellent view of the stage. I also had a pair of binoculars, so I could zoom in on individual band members. Early on, Ben smacked at what I think was a video camera. Whatever it was, an "event staff member" went over and rescued it as it was dangling by its cords. He knocked over and kicked at his microphone and stand right after Spoonman. He also spat a couple times, but I also saw him working one up that he decided to hold in, for some reason. He toppled a small speaker, after looking at it as though it personally offended him.:) He only really jumped around a few times. But he made faces at the audience and stalked around looking pissed off a lot. I was fascinated by Matt. He has 4 limbs that move independently of one another. It was awesome to watch him play. Chris introduced Rhinosaur by saying something like "This next song is from our last record. Listen to it, it's a great song. It was written by Matt, it's called Rhinosaur." All in all, it was a tremendous experience. Now if my ears would just stop ringing...

No longer Will I make fun (too much) of rare cd selection in Iowa.I was in this commercial used cd store on fri and was looking for any SG content. I called up SG and the computer and it said BMF 2 cd set. I shit. Really, I ran to the counter yelling for no one to erase that screen. I took this walking steroid who was working there over and he found it. He pulled it out and I said "that's really hard to find." The guy picked up another BMF cd and looked at me like I was an idiot. As you can see i was dealing with a superbrain. He took me over and I asked to listen to the 2nd cd. He looked at me like I was an idiot. I told him to open it. "what? Uh.... I didn't know they had a double cd.. huh" Thank you Willard Scott. Ok, then i was listening to it and this other walking hardon came over and I asked him to take out the BMF cd from the player. He opened the case and saw disk one and was like, "It's already in here." DUH!! I told him to flip it over, Einstein was clearly stumped. me- you ever seen one of those before? Jean Claude Van Damme- Uh...well....Yeah... ok sure buddy Anyway, I enjoyed my time in the steroid hotel and came out with BMF/SOMMS for 16 bucks. It was good day./ No matter what happened after that. Feeling as though boredom pretty well kicks finals week in the ass. And going for test numbers 3,4,5 in the not so distant future. biff ------------------------------ From: Todd Yowell Subject: SG DIDN'T SG didn't come back to K.C.

Did anyone who was at the DC show happen to notice the end of My Wave? Ben started jamming what sounded like Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin, and after a bit, the guys caught on and they fooled around with it for a while, and then ended the song. Ben once said that he listened to Zeppelin, and KISS fans would beat him up because Zep was "older brother music." more rambling...

Well, well. Sommstimes i find it hard to believe my luck. Take today for instance. I find Ritual De lo Habitual with the original cover attached for $8, and then i find Dust for $7. this was pretty good in and of itself, but then i went to the other record store and saw some used sg cd's. What do i find? ANOTHER copy of BMF/SOMMS. This one cost me $15, and i will sell it for that price to whoever emails me first. glad to be of service. -j "Stand up and everyone will see your holiness" -Soundgarden. ------------------------------ From: patrickg@aonix.com (Patrick Goodwin) Subject: Doh! >In the words of the famous Beavis and Butt-head, "Homos suck!!!" ummmmmmmmm.....Hi ,just joined the list today and I already feel so welcome! patrick (patrickg@aonix.com) STEALTH FAG! take your picture with an authentic san francisco homosexual,$5 .-------. | _ _ | <| O O |> | < | (,;;;;;,) \| |/ `|||/ \\|// ( >) """ ______ \-\__/ \___|pic-| \___ ace ____|tur | |____| |____| / \ /--/\--\ |_| |_| {__| |__} ****************************************************************************** ------------------------------ From: eliza Subject: Re: SOMMS luck OK, first of all, damn my work email package straight to hell...i'll bet some of you are wishing my (attempted) private mail to biff was a bit more interesting to read ;-) Second, enough with the Rossdale comment/homophobia thing..yes, i responded with disgust to BdMtrFngr's ignorant comment, and Lynne I did not think you were slamming me but slamming BdMtr for his use of that word *again*...so no need to apologize...
