Aust. tour package ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Vincent Varkey Subject: guitar magazine revision Remember those comments by Gavin Rossdale of Bush saying that Soundgarden was "a terrible heavy rock band"? Apparently, Rossdale did not say this; it was Nigel Pulsford according to a retraction in the latest issue of Guitar magazine (the one with the 100 greatest guitarists of all time). There you go. vincent ------------------------------ Subject: Christi From: "Shawn David Kennedy" Would anyone out there be kind enough to help me out? I was wondering if someone could tape Soundgarden's Reading Festival show for me. I want the song "Christi". From what I have heard of it, it sounds good. Anyway, if anyone can do this for me, let me know. Thanks. ------------------------------ From: DodeRoad@aol.com Subject: Re: Did Chris Lose Weight? Yeah, I noticed that Chris looked a little skinnier, too. Maybe it was just the shirt he was wearing that made him look thinner, or he has lost weight...who knows? He still looked pretty good... ------------------------------ From: Vincent Varkey Subject: Re: Did Chris Lose Weight?

I used to be real concerned about the whole Chris losing weight thing but not anymore. In the Fairfax, Virginia tape, Chris looks great. He doesn't look anorexic etc. He looks fit. And that tape was from a recent show (only a couple of months back). So I think we can all relax. vincent ------------------------------ Subject: Australian Tour Thingy??? From: Brydon Cheyney CS95 Heeelllooooooo... Hey! What the fuck's this I'm hearing about an Australian Tour Package??? For some reaon or another the SOMMS digests for Wednesday and Thursday didn't find their way to my account so I think I've missed something here, yeah? I've seen a Tool 'Undertow' Australian Tour Edition which a friend has... (any of the SOMMS Tool fans got it?) I have a Monster Magnet Tour Edition of 'Dopes To Infinity' which is real cool and a limited edition version of Tumbleweed's latest opus 'Return To Earth' with a bonus 10 track CD... [Yep, I got hold of it Carolyn - what d'ya think of it?] Why are the Australian's so bloody generous???? :) Christ, it's not fair!!! Anyway, sorry to ask but what's on the SG bonus disk????? Later...

I really felt as though my life had taken a decided downturn and thought of all of you so much I could hardly bear it. Well, maybe that's embellishing it just a bit. Since I missed the Christmas posts I was just wondering what wonderfull SG stuff people were luck enough to get from a loved one, or from themselves for chrismas. I blessed myself with finally buying Stolen Prayers and Fresh Deadly Rarities, which I am throughly impressed with. However the best SG related gift came from my mother, kinda. I asked her to have my sighned BiMH poster from Chicago framed, and it looks awsome. Even though I knew it was coming it pretty much kicked ass. Well send me you worst, best, or any presents, I just wanna know who the luckiest sommster is out there. Also, if this has already been talked about, feel free to tell me publicly to get my head out of my ass and read the archive, I won't feel bad. Really, I mean...I'm only trying to be friendly...and I haven't posted in *such* a long time....(sniffle, sniffle) Ah, well. I will stop with the rambling. climbing up a river, going nowhere in a thought biff also, hi Eliza, DeeDee, Thug, Jamie, Toni, Seth and everyone I've met! Hope you had happy ones!! :) ------------------------------ From: PenCapChu1@aol.com Subject: Re: guitar magazine revision And I guess you could add about Bush's comments about Soundgarden that the band 'took it back' of what they said saying it was said in jest or something and it really 'does not reflect the band's true opinion'. This should have died along time ago, but this seems important that all the bush sux/bush is ok fights that bush sorta apologized which is good, but also makes bush seem even less smart.. well from sg's Pretty Noose grammy nomination, i want to just add my opinion that the Grammy's are the least stuck on commercialism of the 'big' music award shoes, because they do recognize a lot of things that aren't the most popular thing out there. I'm not trying to say they aren't, but they aren't that bad.. ok this letter is sorta going nowhere, so i go now..

I have a subscription to gee-tar world and when I saw the apology I just laughed. it still pisses me off that they would say things like that because they suck compared to Soundgarden. And it makes it sound like thier a better band. When there just a couple of English pretty boys. I think that with the new c,d, out they couldn't handle the mass hate coming from Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Soundgarden fans.

Today I saw the part 1 of this box set (there were 2 copies) but it was $10 and Stacy thinks he can get it cheaper back in England so I passed it up.

I hope the next b-sides are Soundgarden originals like Christi also, but I also love the cover songs they've done in the past (Come Together, Girl U Want, Into the Void, etc.). So why don't we start a new thread on the list of proposed future cover songs. I'll try to keep a list of all the songs posted, and maybe we can get a Somms top 10 list formed. Chris suggested that fans send in cover song suggestions to the band on a radio show interview that I heard, so maybe we can send our list to the band. ------------------------------ From: Taylor Holmes Subject: Re: somms J.

Jonathan Gold's often nauseatingly sycophantic writing style could lead all but the most devoted Soundgarden fan to dismiss Chris as a pretty boy poseur and all-out wuss. True, Chris agreed to pose, gloweringly and gorgeously, on that rock in his designer threads, but..."cut off on one side by the image makers, on the other by the vastness of the sea, for the first time this week Chris seems free, alone, alive." Puhleese! And what about the rather alarming scenario involving Chris trying on designer leathers, surrounded by 'proto grunge divas' , Bach lute suites, angelic children and thimble sized mugs of mineral water!?!! Arrgghhhhh!!! It was probably just Chris trying on a bunch of clothes while his wife and a few friends sat around, but thanks to Gold it just sounds *so* pretentious. Whether or not you agree with Gold when he says Chris is almost biochemically engineered to be a rock star, he is certainly trying to portray him as one in the worst sense. Having said that, I liked the stuff about him and Susan. Awwwww :-) UKDeb ------------------------------ From: CAMPBELLCG@bvu.edu Subject: Lucky Jamie First of all thanks everyone for the warm welcome back.

What better people to ask than the fans to suggest songs! From a recent post, someone said that they heard "Christi" at the Reading Festival. As for the songs "Sounds Like Days", "Anxious", "Waiting For the Sun", "Ocean Front", "Your Curse", and "Cleaning My Gun"--never heard of 'em. As for their cover of "Search And Destroy", that should be a good one, especially with Kim's talents. Ever hear the Chili Peppers' version of this song? I guess I could also suggest Karaoke, the acoustic version of Like Suicide, Birth Ritual, Blind Dogs, and Heretic. Where exactly would we send these requests? There's rumor that Matt reads posts on occasion, but as for the rest of the band, I don't know.
