Rebekah ------------------------------ From: "Steven Russell Jr." Subject: sg: trouble in paradise from: http://pi.microsoft.com/TLN/TotallyLive.htm Soundgarden: Trouble In Paradise Last but not least, there's apparently trouble in the Soundgarden of Eden, and those in the know say that the band didn't get off the road a second too soon. You remember we told you two weeks ago that the Soundgarden shows at the Neal Blaisdell Arena in Hawaii on February 8 and 9 would be the last shows for the entire year, and the guys were taking a well-deserved vacation (their first in nine years), before they began their third album for A&M Records.=20 But insiders who were within hearing distance of the band after its show in Honolulu said the band culminated the tour with a shouting match, which almost came to fisticuffs. This comes on the heels of the persistent rumors that the band was breaking up =97 but despite some of the fundamental differences two of the members have with one another, TLN still insists on going out on a limb and saying the band will not break up. The guys have too much to lose. Let's hope this extended vacation from one another does the trick.=20 ------------------------------ From: "Christopher Farley" Subject: Happy vinyl huntress... I totally agree. There are two songs on DOTU that bite really hard at older Rush. One is NeverNamed. The section when the riff & jam is very reminiscent of ByTor & the Snow Dog from Fly by Night. I can't remember what the other one was, it's been a while since I listened to DOTU. I'll have to break it out tonight and find it. I highly recommend Rush to anyone on this list. If you are a musician, I think you will especially appreciate them. Later Chris - ---------- From: Slave4cc@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 1997 2:34 PM To: Somms@MIT.EDU Subject: Happy vinyl huntress... Thanks to all who helped me find colored vinyl. I really appreciate it. I dont have any yet, but if everything goes okay, I should end up with a few. At the risk of being shot down in flames, I just have to comment on a couple things: U2: A good example of how soundgarden has not let fame go to their heads like that. Trent Reznor. Trent Reznor? arrrg! dead rotting dog. talk about depressing. Do any of you guys listen to older RUSH? I think they have alot of the same good qualities as Soundgarden does. If you like postive music, try Rush Caress of Steel, its pretty good really. I havent been listening to Soundgarden lately. And then Chris came to me in a dream last night and just talked to me to remind me he was still there. I havent forgotten. Someone asked about Susan managing other bands. Sorry but I found that really hilarious. (hahahahahahahah). Sorry someone.

I am hoping that someone in the SG Digest has these things or knows where to get them. I am trying to locate a copy of the "Conan O'Brien" NBC show from 8/7/95 (#440) with Danny Glover, Russell Crowe and Ed Burns. I am also looking for the European (unedited) version of the Sharon Stone/Russell Crowe film, "The Quick and the Dead." Don't ask why I am looking for these things...it's a long story!

Subject: Fell On Black Days i, for one, think that the demo version of FOBD is tired and boring. it may have "balls", but it's basically your typical cock-rock song, offering no sense of forward movement, leaving sg wallowing in the muds of uncreativity. either that, or it's pretty damn good.... - -JAmiE Care - ------------------------------------- Marketing Director, Shawn Lam Painting ************* "you're frustrated by the cracks in the pavement..."

Man, it sure does seem quiet in the SG community. Too fucking quiet. So I came up with a thread, maybe, I mean it might have been done before, but I'll ask anyway. I was watching Live play Unplugged last night and I thought they played that gig pretty well.I'm not a great fan of theirs or anything but they sounded good. What about SOUNDGARDEN doing this? Some may argue that they wouldn't want to sell out, but they did play SNL. Whatever, I know I would like to see it. So I guess my question to all of you is: Who would want to see it and who wouldn't, and what you want their set to be? My list is as follows: 1) Boot Camp 2) Dusty 3)Seasons 4)FOBD 5) Overfloater 6) Somewhere 7) BHS 8)BIMH 9)Tighter & Tighter 10) Holy Water 11) Limo Wreck ( I would love to hear this acoustically) 12)Like Suicide I know there is nothing older than BMF, but it is unplugged, and it is my opinion. I do know that *my blood begins to boil* just thinking about it. That is something I personally hope they do some day.It doesn't have to be on MTV, but if it was I'm sure all of you would tune in. I've got an idea of something we can do with the gun... ------------------------------ From: Andrea Pinto Subject: this just in... Hi-I'm back. New year, new email address. I'm sure this is being discussed on the list-but as I'm on digest, i'll throw it in anyway.... I woke up this morning to a report on KNDD in seattle saying there were rumours about SG breaking up. They said their was a fight backstage in Hawaii which almost came to blows. (????!!!!!!) Management has denied the rumour.

I got it last weekend, and it's really cool. Since this list seems to be very resourceful and kind, I figured I'd step up with a new challenge: I really want to find a copy of BadMotorFinger on yellow vinyl!!!!!! If anyone has any ideas, e-mail me. I have searched a number of used vinyl shops online and in person and have had no luck. I missed it at one place by a few hours! And it went for SIX BUCKS!!! Again, thanks for Reading, and let me know if you know about the elusive BMF yellow vinyl. P.S. I ordered the MOSH video. Very nicely done. It was even updated to include BUTOW. Some older videos are not on it, but overall a very nice compilation.

I was sitting in the Guidance office and a guy wearing a Jar Of Flies t-shirt walks in and sits down beside me. I had on my SG t-shirt and the guy looks over at me and says that SG kicks ass. I nod my head in agreement, and then the guy says Yeah that dudd Matt can play a mean bass. I look at him like he is a total idiot and he asks me what my problem is. I then tell him that Matt Cameron plays the drums not the bass and that Ben Shepard is the bass player. He then has the nerve to argue! But that is not the end of his ignorance. I comment that AIC is a great band and that it is a shame what happened to Stan Layne. What is his response-Who is that? I give him he is a total idiot look again and then I tell him that he is the lead vocalist for AIC. OHH he says. Then he asks me what happened to him? This is just to much for me so I get up and go sit on the other side of the office. What is this world coming too? The thread about who I would like to see SG get togather with. I would love for Alice MudGarden to do another song. But since Stan is slowly killing himself that doesn't seem to be in the future. Or how about a G-N-R / SG song. Chris and Axls screaming voice, 2 of the greatest axemen Slash and Kim togather, Duff and Ben, And Matt and Matt. It sucks that G-N-R split up!! Metallica's coming to Tampa!!! Metallica's coming to Tampa!!! Metallica's coming to Tampa!!! Metallica's coming to Tampa!!! (are yall sensing my excitment?)

Second, you could try Columbia House. That's where I got it from a few years ago. You could also try some massive record shops like Tower or the Virgin Megastore. email me if you need more info. Thanks for writting back. I'm in Columbia House and they haven't had it and I also checked BMG Music too. I've checked some of the local stores (i'm in south jersey) like Best Buy, and Record Town.

It shocked me for about 2 seconds until I realized it was a bunch of bull. Question : What were you guys saying about rumors about Kim? This is something Ive never heard before, and here I thought I knew it all! Silly me. In the back of my mind, Ive wondered why ive never read anything about the other guys wives or girlfriends. I guess maybe there was something about Matt having one. But dont get me wrong, I dont need their whole life 'splayed (is that a word?) out in front of me. Im glad they can retain privacy too. My question is....Have any of you ever seen Kim, Matt, or Ben in a picture with a girlfriend? just curious...dont hate me for it. carol ------------------------------ From: KRAKHEAD54@aol.com Subject: breakups Well as you can probably guess I just decided to throw me 3cents in. Alot of people seem to have heard rumors of SOUNDGARDEN breaking up. This is got me going nuts and I'm sure the rest of you are a little freaked by it too. I mean could the guys actually want to end their career like this? Even if they broke up(just that thought makes me sick) I know I would still love them all and love the music they made. Let's all pray that it doesn't happen though. peace/love/SG *~PAM~* ------------------------------ From: tonerkin Subject: If only I was a spoiled rock star!

You know last night at 4:30am when I was at work and my boss decides to call a meeting. And I join my co-workers feeling like a piece of shit because it is 4:30a, I have a cold, I have a sick kid at home, I had a total of 3 1/2 hours of sleep(not all at once) in the past 30 hours and my co-workers decide to "fuck" with me. I felt like coming to blows with them, I felt like "breaking up my crew", I felt like going home and taking a year off!!!! But in the real world that can't happen. Things may not be peachy right now BUTT Kim, Ben, Matt and Chris have the luxury of making enough money to chill for a good long while and stay our of each other's face. Most of us don't have that choice. I will see the same people again tonight at 4am and we will have to get along because I could be fired if I "came to blows" with one of them. Guys, thank the Soundgarden gods that you have a career doing something you love and make a good living at it! You could be out her in the trenches with the rest of us!

The scan of the DOTU front cover at rocktropolis.com/soundgarden kind of makes it look like Kim is on fire. Maybe he is cursed like those people in The Omen. I don't know. Just trying to make conversation about Mr. Thayil seeing as how I heard we don't discuss him enough. Seth W. ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Soundgarden's Big Day Out Found these snippets of Soundgarden in some of the Syndney Big Day Out reviews....first one is shitty and the other is from my favourite journo, Morat, who *loves* our guys....... From Metal Hammer, March 1997 "Making a return trip to the Big Day Out, Soundgarden proved they really are a prettier, more melodic Black Sabbath. That's right, the more popular they get, the more they suck. Instead of Hands All Over, distortion, Marshall grunts and offbeat timings, we get Pretty Noose, Black Days, Burden In My Hand and ELO's light show. The fat tones and slower songs did mean that the sound was crystal clear, so virtually all of the 40,000 sunburnt, beer-drenched punters heard every riff and chop, but a little bit of a grunt never hurt anyone, did it?" Jeremy Sheaffe From Kerrang, February 22nd "As briliant as they are, it's no secret that the 'Garden can be a hit and miss live band. But tonight, they shine like the brightest star on the clearest night. Or something. Sure, it's pretty cool watching them from the side of the stage in the company of Liam and Keith Prodge, Burton C Bell and Tim from Rancid, but pretty soon you just get engrossed in the music, and we all stand open-mouthed as Soundgarden play a fantastic set. "The whole band seem to be going for it tonight. Cornell hurls himself around the stage during a breakneck Ty Cobb, guitarist Kim Thayil throws all the top rock poses, bassist Ben Shepherd looks downright dangerous, and Matt Cameron blows everyone's mind by simply being one of the best drummers on earth. " And every time the stage lights illuminate the crowd, you look out at a sea of people and feel part of something great. You really should try seeing your favourite band thousands of miles from home ( a return flight will set you back 650 quid, backpackers' accommodation is six quid a night). But enough of The Travel Show, because Soundgarden are playing an indestructible Blow Up The Outside World, and Chris Cornell is singing his heart out. "They finish with Jesus Christ Pose, Cornell booting his guitar around and striking the JC Pose with his guitar and mike stand as fireworks explode in the night sky. Which would have been a fitting climax to this glorious festival, were it not for the fact that Aussie legends The Beasts Of Bourbon ain't done crooning on Stage Three. " We start to wander over with Kim Thayil. And walk straight into a punch-up by the backstage door, which seems to involve most of Rocket From The Crypt and Chris and Ben from Soundgarden. We'd offer to help, but really we don't give a four-X." Morat There are two brilliant pix of Chris in Kerrang (with an interview next week!) Plus Kim takes part in The Kerrang Challenge: the trivia quiz the stars love to hate. (He scores 20 out of 25 with help from Matt!)I'm sending the lot to Seth - when you see it depends on Stargate's server working! What a bummer - no Soundgarden for the rest of the year, no Shroomy and now no Seth!!!! UKDeb ------------------------------ From: "merlin.dwc@internetmci.com" Subject: the usual & a new thread Hey... First off I want to say that I completely agree w/ what Greg said about how you don't have to relate directly to lyrics to feel a connection to them. Some of my favorite songs are about things I've never experienced myself, but because they're sung w/ so much passion and feeling, they really touch me. Often times it's not the words you really relate to - it's the emotion that comes across in the singer's voice, or in the music. Which version of BHS do I prefer? It's so hard to say. The original version will always be one of my all-time favorites, but I'd have to say that live I prefer CC's solo, for lots of reasons. For one thing, it's *his* song, and I think it comes across best (live anyway) solo. Also, one of the first things that attracted me to BHS was it's eeriness, and that's really magnified in the solo version. Okay - here's my thread. Someone asked what SG songs we'd like to hear other bands perform. Well... say SG was doing a show just for you, and they were willing to cover any songs you wanted. What would = they be? Mine are: 1. "Violet" by Hole 2. "Alive" by PJ (I know they've already done this one, but I've never heard it) 3. "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads 4. anything by David Bowie (I don't think *that* would ever happen, but = I've loved him since I was 11 and had to put that down) 5. "Heaven Beside You" by AIC I know some of those are strange choices, but hey - it's *my* fantasy. =3D) And there's lots more but that would take up way to much space. :) That's all for now... ~Lorraine "Nothing seems to break me no matter how far I fall nothing can break me at all..." ------------------------------ Subject: ugh From: seth The website is still wallowing in the depths of server hell, it seems, so I apologize for the continued delay.

ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! and best of all, it was a present. ;-)))))) wow, some present! this has been the one item (aside from my favorite duct tape item, Louder than Live) that i have wanted above all others. ;-) *sigh* just wanted to share.... - --caryn ------------------------------ From: Spoonmn94@aol.com Subject: Re: SG cover songs/SOMMS Just replying to what Kenny Beckwith said about Soundgarden never being on MTV. I don't really care or don't really like to see Soundgarden on MTV too much because just look at the crap that they play in heavy rotation, I don't want to mention the B-band. Anyways, I saw the poster which is probably one of the most famous scenes in Seattle music. The poster is off the cover to LTL and was on the Real World in NY. Andre, the guitarist and vocalist of his band Reigndance, I believe, was playing at his friend's house in the basement in Jersey. There was only one poster to be seen and you guessed what it was. I was shocked to see some people on the Flake World who had some good musical tastes. I last saw Pretty Noose in August, and they made that lackluster but psychadelic alternate version. I love the original where they are sitting at the bar and then Kim whoops some brothers at pool and want to see the ending where Chris beats or kills that chick with the horns in red that prances around the entire video. I caught "Loud Love" on M2 some day last month but only saw the last minute or so. In response to a couple of threads, I would never think that sg would ever consider unplugged, they have turned down Letterman many times and said yes to SNL after they asked only a thousand times. I liked the solo version of BHS when I saw them in Nov. but the original version is still the most psychadelic song on their most psychadelic album. I love to hear BHS, 4th of July, TDITTL, Boot Camp, PN, Beyond the Wheel, Superunknown, etc. when I am laying back on my waterbed and feeling the music take over my entire body, maybe Shroomy knows more about the effects of Mad Season Mushrooms. Mad Season's entire CD is full of these mellow tunes that make me feel the same way as SG does, Silverchair's "Abuse me" intro sounds a lot like "All Alone" by MS and their heavy songs still sound to me like pre SU stuff.

I have a couple of little things to say tonight. Caryn Rose> I don't think, correct me if I'm wrong, that either Pearl Jam or Soundgarden are really pool players at all. I always picture Soundgarden as your baseball type players and Pearl Jam as your basketball players. Then again mabe I'm just being influenced by the whole Mookie Blaylock thing and an article on PJ that I once read, and the fact the soundgarden tshirt I have is a baseball tshirt. Bernard Fanning Slaves and bulldozers>> I reakon Bernie would do a really ace version of Boot camp, an unkind and possibly blow up the outside world. Kesa>> That little picture thing you did at the end of your mail was really cute. Please forgive my ignorance, but I've heard a lot about this mad seasons thing, but I don't actually know the names of the people in it or the deal with the band set up. Could someone please explain? Chris's tatto>> I know this was a while ago but anyway... I'm not sure where I found out what the tatto looks like, but I'm pretty sure it's that chinease like symbol thing that comes up on the official soundgarden homepage when you first enter. Oh and if Kim was a girl, then Audrey Hetburn was a boy, Nicola ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: RE: .......a new Soundgarden thread!

Some may argue that they wouldn't want to > sell out, but they did play SNL. Well, here we go again... I think we've all agreed that it is highly unlikely that SG will ever do an unplugged... and if the SNL performance were any indicator of TV aptitude, I'd rather see SG stay hidden behind crafty studio work and lound concert amps... I think an unplugged performance for a band like SG would really be a challenge, whereas most of the unplugged shows have featured bands that more likely lend themselves to acoustic performances... *Live* being a good example... Of course SG does have recent material that would lend itself to a decent acoustic set, but most of it is just made to be played plugged in and feeding back...
