All where happy >laughing at each other. Plenty of movement around the stage was great. Thanks for the review Lee. This show sounds allot like the second show in Chicago.. If you watch the review on our wonderful lads you see a definite pattern. When they are rested and in the beginning of a tour they are in their prime. It's as they progress thought the tour that things seem to get a bit stall for them and they lose that edge. They should not do more than 5 shows in a row and then them rest for a few weeks. That way the band would enjoy the tour and the crowds would always get a great show. I'm just happy for our SOMMs members down under who are now enjoying the great sounds of Soundgarden.

Hello everyone. I want to thank FlutterGirl and DeeDee for helping me out with my questions. Yall were alot of help. FlutterGirl, I tried those addresses that you gave me and found alot of great things. Like I said before this is going to cost me a small fortune. Now I know what I am going to ask for my birthday that is coming up in March. Well anyways thanks for the help. Another question. Into The Void. What is it and what songs are on it? Help! Please. I want to know what it is before I dish out money to buy it. Earlier someone was asking what you thought was the scariest Soundgarden song was. All of them are pretty creepy, either in words or music. Images of death, destruction, and suicide is every where you turn in their songs. All of which are things that a person would find scary or forboding. But that is what makes the music so great. You can hear endless songs about love, and how wonderful life is all the time. Soundgarden is good for the soul. You have to be depressed some times unless you happen to live in some sort of Utopia. Everyone decides for themselves what the lyrics mean. While one person thinks that Superunkown is in reference to child rearing, another thinks that Kickstand and Drawing Flies is of a sexual content. You take the music and what your own life experiances are and then you decifer what they mean to you. And I think that is so cool. Soundgarden doesn't write songs that tell you this is what I did and this particular song means this and that one means something else. Let me shut up now! I can go on and on and on, like I already did. Sorry about being so long winded. I'll try not to let it happen again. Sincerely, Lisa Beckwith Sleep thight for me .. Sleep tight for me...I'm gone...... ------------------------------ From: Karizma291@aol.com Subject: Re: Whats the First thing that comes to your mind?? MMMM the first thing that comes to my mind is the fishing story Shroomy was tellin us last night in a chat only thing I have to say is: " I RATHER BE FISHING " ........ right Shroomy? ~Angela (snuggling with a full moon blanket) :~) ------------------------------ From: Geoff Subject: CC interview The Chris interview which finally aired on MuchMusic's New Music is truly hilarious, as Mr MacKenzie pointed out. Quotes: LG: If you could blow something up on outside world, what would it be? CC: Stupid people......You know if you want to start with people, cause there are a lof of different groups of people...you could start with things. Mini-malls...you know, that would be a good thing...and then you could put the stupid people in the mini-malls so you could get rid of the whole deal at once. Racists and the hard-core religious right, you know I wouldn't mind blowing them up sometimes...Even though maybe in some ways they are probably nice people...it still doesn't seem worth it. LG:What to dump so much energy into religion? CC: No, for them to be allowed to inhale that much oxygen that the rest of us don't get. LG: On every album it seems you have some kind of loneliness song? I'm just wondering, are you a loner? CC: Well, it's hard to answer that, I'd have to compare myself to people I think are loners. I tend to be alone more than anyone I've ever met. I wouldn't call myself a loner, I mean, I have friends. The question of wondering about why people have to be around other people, and why people are uncomfortable being alone. To a degree, I've always had trouble understanding that. I've met a lot of people, who really they're skin crawls if they arten't talking to someone, they can't sit in a room by themselves for more than an hour or two. Or they're on the phone...And I'm glad that I'm not that way, because it seems to me like it would be really frightening...but then you have the other paranoia...which is, what if all of a sudden I was in a situation where I had to be in a small space with a lot of people for a long period of time. You know, some people are afraid of being alone, and some people like me are afraid that I might get stuck on the Love Boat. CC: There's been a lot of songs where I sang the lyrics differently every time in rehearsals, so finally we recorded I sang it one way on the record, and then when I go out to sing it live, I can't remember which way it was on the record, because I never did it the same way twice - I forget lyrics, or I'm singing the wrong verses in the wrong order, or singing completely different lyrics, and that's happened on a few things, because I just never liked that final process of nailing stuff down. And another interview during that same visit to MuchMusic: Interviewer: I was very very surprised when I listened to an album that I just received this morning, a Johnny Cash album, called Unchained...Yuo get a version of Rusty Cage...We've got a little soundbite of it... CC: Cool... MM: It sounds so completely different...blew me away...Are you a big fan of Johnny Cash? CC: Since I was a little kid... MM: Really...do you like this version? CC: Yeah...it's pretty wild. It just sounds like he wrote the song. And I think that's kinda what you're supposed to do. When we've always done covers, we try to take a song that wouldn't be something we'd normally do, like when we did Girl U Want by Devo, and make it sound like we wrote it, and that's what de did. I hope you enjoyed.

Good question about Soundgardens happiest song. That is a tough one. The song that is most optimistic is "Dusty". It is scary that Soundgarden is getting old. There not that old but their getting there. Since I'm still pretty young though the thought that there will be a time that Soundgarden will no longer make records is totally depressing. OHH WELL.... What Kelly posted about the song in reference to her mother, is something that I never thought about, but that is so true. I can totally relate with you situation. But that is another depressing subject. Does anyone know where I can find Loudest Love at? I want it OH so bad. Someone was asking about how Soundgarden formed. You can find that story in Seth's page under Band History and also look in the Articles section and about every jurnalist felt the need to repeat the story how the quartet formed.

I start to laugh hysterically, then he grabs my arm and says, "do you really think I'm kidding? Just look at all of these fish. It was 'cause we sang together...don't you think so?"

I'm 15 years old-yeah, yeah I know I'm young- and I'm sitting at home on my computer. I have no life. Please tell me things get better on down the road. Another thing that Sucks. The last time Soundgarden came to Florida I was to young to go to a concert, and now that I reach the age that I would be able to persuade my extremly overbearing parents to let me go, the closest Soundgarden comes to Tampa, Florida is Atlanta Ga. Whats up with that? Florida also loves and adores that which is the grand and almighty Soundgarden, or atleast I do.Shouldn't my devotion be enough to bring them here. They don't even have to worry about getting a place to play. My home will always be open to them. (One could only dream) Soundgarden can trek through Europe and Australia but thay can't make a pit stop in Florida. Life goes on for them while I sit and wait for the day that I Lisa Beckwith can say that I have experianced the power and rath of Soundgarden in person. All I have is what I read from other people about their concert trips and close encounters with THE BAND and my Push CD which is a taped concert. When will it be my turn. I want to pet Chris damn dogs. One day it will be us young Soundgarden fans turn!!!! As god is my witness I will see Soundgarden in concert.

Another question I was flipping through my magazine where I buy all my imports from, and I came across two Soundgarden things. The Garden Grows and Real Wild Children Have any of you ever heard about these? And if so, are they good? Next month's feature.....sound-garden(literally)Details to follow. "Hi I'm Matt Cameron. I'm the drummer from Soundgarden. When I'm playin', I don't have to time to worry what's on my ass, I have to keep 3 other guys on beat. That's why I wear Calvin Klein Underware....the right choice!"

In the back of the book under Bibliography it list Seth's web site. I think it's pretty cool. The books not bad either. ------------------------------ From: PenCapChu1@aol.com Subject: TDITTL meaning <> sure... any particular reason why? just wondering......... anyway, here's an excerpt from "The Making of Superuknown" by Mary Elizabeth Hargrove... -Once Chris COrnell was asked what the lyrics " One more time around might do it" meant. Were they about reincarnation? Cornell replied witha question of his own: "Or maybe heroin?" Yet he also said, "It's about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive, which I've always had a problem with. It's about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty c losed off and not see people for long periods of time, and not call anyone." "It's actually, in a way, a hopeful song. Especially the lines " One more time around/Might get it," which is basically saying, "I tried today to understand and belong and get along with other people, and I failed, but I'll probably try again tomorrow." A lot of people misinterpreted that song as a suicide-not song, take the world 'live' too literally. The Day I Tried to live means more like the day I actually tried to open up myself and experience everything that's going on around me as opposed to blowing it all off and hiding in a cave."-- i typed this up fast, maybe a few typos, but i did correct the typos that were contained in the published book itself.. - -pcc ------------------------------ From: "Steven Russell Jr." Subject: Toronto 1/16/92 Video "Time is a train Makes the future the past Leaves you standing in the station Your face pressed up against the glass" Hey List! I've just uncovered another Soundgarden boot video hidden in someone's archives for a couple years :-) Be patient and check out a.m.b I'm sure it'll be circulating soon. :-) Anyway... The reason this video is worth mentioning is cuz this was *suppose* to be my first sg concert! :( For whatever reason...I never went. And had to *settle* for the Barrie, Ontario Lolla '92 date. When I look back in my old organizer...I still have penciled in "soundgarden - the spectrum, toronto". Set List (for those that care): Searching..., Outshined, Face Pollution, Gun, Little Joe, Big Dumb Sex, Room a 1000 Years Wide, Rusty Cage, Flower, Nothing to Say, Hands All Over, Mind Riot, Beyond the Wheel, Into the Void, Jesus Christ Pose, Somewhere, Slaves and Bulldozers. Comments: Low Gen, video camera way back and stage right, Chris is constantly bitching about the lack of a bathroom in the Spectrum and that form of scatological humor pretty much sums up his crowd interactions :-) Sound excellent until the end...then it starts to distort. The Spectrum is a very small club....Maybe 500-750 people. Very low key canadian crowd (typical :) Just a little bit of crowd surfin'. Stage very low to the ground which creates shots of sg from the waist up. The view would be excellent except for the amazon woman blocking the camera :-) Well, she's tall compared to the camera person :-) She also does NOT move throughout the entire show. Not at all. I just thought that was strange for a high energy show such as badmofi-era soundgarden...getting *no* responce from someone. steve ------------------------------ From: Tiffany Saint Subject: Re: Chris Cornell's Mental Twin here On Wed, 22 Jan 1997 Moonsta693@aol.com wrote: > Do any of you see parts of you're personality that seem to be just like any > of the members in soundgarden? to put it another way.....do any of you have > a little of Chris, Ben, Matt, or Kim in you?

I went out and bought the cassette since I had made several copies and wore them all out. I was looking over it a few weeks ago and noticed that on side 2, there is a misprint. It says that the album was produced in 19912, instead of '91. The tape has gone through moderate rotation, as I've only had it since mid-July. Does anyone else have this on their copy, or is this worth anything? Also, for Vincent, who asked someone to tell him what the "Making of Superunknown" had said about "The Day I Tried To Live". I have "the Making of Superunknown" as well, and I can't remember exactly what it said about it (and I'm too lazy to get up and find it) but I don't think it said much, if anything, about the lyrics. I remember reading an interview with Chris some time ago and he talked about them: CC: "People take the word 'live' too serioulsy. It's meant in a social sense, as in 'Today I tried to make a friend, and I didn't succeed, but I'll probably try again tomorrow.'" He said something like that. There was more to it, as well, about his and Ben's reclusiveness, but I don't remember that too clearly.

I couldn't really picture Chris breaking into "Beyond the Wheel" or "New Damage" while fishing... so I'll imagine him humming something I've never heard before. That seems a bit more exciting. ;-) Since the fish aren't biting, we decide to scrap those plans and go swimming instead. What's this? Neither of of have swimsuits?!? :::::::::::::: edited for graphic content ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: So after we manage to get most of our clothes back on, and we're certain that neither of our shirts are on backwards... ;-) .... we decide to visit some friends. "Matt should be home by now," says Chris. We head over to the blonde drummer's house, and practically beat the door down... but no one answers. "His vehicle is here... I wonder why in the hell he's not answering," says God, uh, Chris. He grabs my hand and we walk around to the side of the house. Chris gets down on his knees and.... get your minds out of the gutter, people... he peeks down through the basement windows. "Check this out, Shroomy! Hurry!" he hisses at me. I join him on my knees (brief fantasy deleted), and what incredible sight greets my eyes? A certain list administrator is down there with a video camera, a box of paper clips, three mannequins partially dressed in disco clothing (one of them suspiciously resembling Richard Nixon), a bucket of what looks to be green jello, and assorted pieces of computer hardware spread across the room. I can hear music playing, and I strain my ears to make it out... "Wham! Why are they listening to Wham? George Michael never was a very goo..." Chris hushes me just as Matt walks into the room carrying a platter of Cheez-Whiz and cucumber slices. "Here," he says as he hands the tray to the certain list admin... "Put these on, and then meet me in the bathroom." Chris and I look at each other in disbelief, and Chris says "Let's get the hell out of here!" We scramble to our feet, and make tracks to the front of the house. We're running so fast... we almost fall over Dave Navarro and Susan Silver who are blocking our escape. Dave is holding a portable boom box, and Susan has some leather rope. Susan eyes us up, and says "You just couldn't be happy with your hootchie friend, could you Chris?!? You just HAD to butt into my little 'side-project', didn't you?!!? Well now you're both going to pay for it. You're going downstairs with us." Chris shakes his head, "No WAY are we going down into your little basement of horrors, Susan. C'mon Shroom, let's go." Susan steps in front of him... "I don't think you'll be going anywhere." Chris and I go to step around her, and Susan very calmly says "Dave." Dave pushes the play button on his boom box, and Bush starts blaring out at us. "It'sssss the littttle thingggsss that kiiiillllllll..." Chris screams and covers his ears... "Stop!! Oh for the love of GOD, not Gavin Rossdale!! Turn it off!! Please!! We'll do ANYTHING YOU WANT SUSAN... JUST MAKE IT STOP!!" Dave turns off the radio, and Susan quickly ties Chris and I together. (another brief fantasy deleted) Slowly we enter the house, and begin to descend the staircase to face the hell we had innocently stumbled across... Heheheh... I'd better shut up now. List immunity will only take a hootchie so far in life. ;-) I usually leave the writing stuff to people like Vikki and Grote, anyway. Vikki always makes you feel like you're actually there... and remember the wild things Grote used to come up with? (Man, I wish he would come back to SOMMS.)
