The only real complaints I had with the SNL performance were the vocals during Pretty Noose, which seemed like it was probably a problem with the monitors. If Chris couldn't hear himself it would have been hard for him to sing well. Well, there are other songs I would rather have heard. However that's more a question of choice of material rather than of TV aptitude. Tiffany ------------------------------ Subject: Re: then a new Soundgarden thread!

PJ's last couple of albums didn't really yank my crank and some Metallica albums aren't really so hot. Oh yeah, if Soundgarden ever did an unplugged they'd have to do Johnny Cash's version of Rusty Cage.

I couldn't agree with you more. It's practically impossible to see them all calm and cool in that type of place. I don't think you would have to wait untill the middle of their set for them to start laughing either. With them after the first few notes they would be on the ground with laughter.

I don't think that they would be selling out in any way in doing this. If that was the case then AIC, Pearl Jam and Nirvana sold out long ago when they did the show. Chris was asked in an online MTV interview if a Unplugged would be in SG future and he said no that he didn't think they had the sound or music to pull it off. BULLSHIT CHRIS. They would do a kick ass show! If this was ever to happen I wold like to hear... 1. Hunted Down 11. Fresh Trendils 2. All You Lies 12.4th Of July 3. Beyond The Wheel. 13.Fell On Black Days 4.

Thighter And Thighter 9. Holy Water. 19. Overfloater 10. Limo Wreck 20. No Attention 21. Pretty Noose 22. Blow Up The Outside World I tried to condense my list of songs but I couldn't choose between any of them. But all these songs would be cool to hear unplugged. In AIC case some of the songs I perfer the unplugged version to the original. According to Chris we may never find out. But SG also said that they would never do live tv but they did SNL because of Jim Carrey. Maybe with a little bit of bribery SG could be convinced to show case their talents on MTV's Unplugged stage. Maybe they could get the Ramones or somebody that SG looks up to to do one first. All we can do is wait patiently.... And if the rumors are true, God, Please don't let them be, about SG breaking up then we never will know. Does anyone have any new info on this? I am going to have night mares for weeks now. Although I think it would be a little funny to see Kim and Chris duking it out don't you think. As long as they made up as soon as it was over. Hey new thread... Who do you think would win in a fight between Chris and Kim or Ben and Matt or any other combination of the quartet. I know this is in bad taste.

BK ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Soundgarden split - the real story I'll tell you how Soundgarden will end...Matt, tired of Ben's tantrums, Chris' whining and Kim being it all a know-all, will one day suddenly SNAP. The sound of Mailman on his walkman, he'll burst into their rehearsal studio, screaming ' I FUCKING *HATE* BEING THE NICE ONE!!!'and beat them all to death with his drum sticks. The city of Seattle will go into deep mourning...July 20th will become a national holiday...Susan decides after all these years she's finally fed up with wearing black and feels she's an 'Spring' person...and then the rumours will start..... They're not dead. They've faked their own deaths and gone into hiding because they hate touring so much. Ben has supposedly joined the moonies and finally finds inner peace. Matt has disappeared to Norway and now plays bongoes in an obscure jazz trio. Kim - of course - has reversed his sex change and once again becomes Kimberly, exotic dancer. Chris and Susan have retired to Hawaii to breed poms... This turns out to be true because, despite going blond and wearing a false nose in public, Chris can't resist whipping off his shirt and flashing his pecs and he recognised by Shroom who is visiting Hawaii on pilgrimage to the last place they played...but by then the rest of us have all subscribed to the Spice Girls mailing list (run by Seth.) Twenty years later they finally make a comeback tour with Kiss supporting. It's a sellout ;-) UKDeb ------------------------------ From: "The Coleman Family" Subject: Ughhh!!

Is anyone else experiencing this? Pleez let me know, jcoleman@headwaters.com ------------------------------ From: "merlin.dwc@internetmci.com" Subject: my rambling discourse Hey... First of all... AIC's lead singer isn't named Stan Layne. It's *Layne Stayley.* Anyway... I'd really like to see SG do an unplugged, but CC has said that he doesn't think SG's is the type of music that should be performed acoustically. But can think of several songs that would sound great, or at least interesting, unplugged. A lot of my favorites - BUTOW, BIMH, and esp "Head Down" - that one would be beautiful. "Ty Cobb" I think would be great. Also "Boot Camp," "Zero Chance," "Dusty," FOBD.... Who knows, it *could* happen. I'd also love to see them on Letterman, but I guess that's just not in the cards. It's no great tragedy if they never end up doing any of those things, I'd much rather see them perform live again. But I certainly don't consider any of those things "selling out." Somebody said they hate the idea of anyone covering SG songs. Personally, I love it, as long as the ones doing the covers are worthy. There's tons of songs I'd love to hear Hole cover - BUTOW, "Pretty Noose," definately "Ty Cobb," BIMH, "No Attention," "Limo Wreck," "Mailman," "Head Down," TDITTL, "Outshined"... I'd love David Bowie to do BUTOW and "Boot Camp"... somebody mentioned Sublime doing "Drawing Flies" - that would be great... and there's lots more. It's really an honor when a band is so well respected and admired that other bands/singers want to play their songs. And as far as the break up rumors go... I don't really want to address them, but I guess I've got to. It really doesn't mean much that they were fighting... that's just natural. It's true that you can't expect people who are constantly together not to get on eachother's nerves once in a while. Obviously they're going to disagree and get pissed at eachother sometimes, and there's nothing wrong w/ that. But I can't imagine why people who work so wonderfully together, who are so great at what they do and obviously love doing it, and constitute the greatet band ever in the history of the world would ever even think of breaking up. You know how the media is... whoever started the rumor was probably just trying to start trouble. That's all for now...

Just wanted to tell all the list nuts (myself included ;) that the Australian/NZ Down Under on the Upside (DUotU) is a very nifty release. Those that were fortunate to get a copy already (/me waves to tomorrow) know how cool this looks. If you have some money to blow :-) Check it out... If you must decide between ramean and mac n cheese for a month or this disk...you gotta eat sometime...go for the food. This package is special and nifty..but not that important. The only song I didnt have was "Dusty (Moby Remix)...which I think is super cool !!! Everything else is available via import. Some differences between the US and this release are...the CD itself is more purple. The second CD is cherry red, but has the same motif as the regular cd artwork. There is extra Polydor markings on the booklet, CD and case. The binding contains a 2CD mark just like somms itself. But this two CD holder doesnt hold the CD's like a regular holder. They just sort of sit in a circular holder...not really griping...so naturally I've dropped the regular CD twice now :-) Other than that...the other nifty thing is the warning sticker that appear on the outside of the case. "This recording contains explicit language which may cause offence" :-) Thanks Tipper Gore...for the chuckle :-) Those of you that don't know who Tipper Gore is... She'll be the next US presidential first lady in 2000 and back in the early 80's she helped form the PMRC. Way too long of a story....

I faintly remember a group of u.s listers mentioning that they received kots fanclub stuff out of the blue last year, and the same thing happened to me. from memory, the soundgarden "propaganda" seemed roughly similar to the package you receive when you send in your hard-earned $2. the christmas card was kind of cool in a novelty kind of way and the dotu phonecard/fanclub id was also cool (albeit a little of centre). sadly the newsletter was a bit out of date, but I didn't expect anything more. anyhow, I was just wondering if any other australian listers have received this bolt from the blue? mine was sent on january 7th. other ramblings: friends at skinnys record store here in brisbane will soon be getting copies of our photo with the band. hopefully we'll get our copy sooner than that. btw, chris? is it just me or is there something wrong with your wwc homepage? I've tried it a couple of times, but I'm getting an access error. the unofficial homepage's _releases_ section also seems to have gone walkabout . seems like everyone is having technical problems these days... ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: eliza Subject: and now i send you a message of love... ok, feel free to think this is totally cheesy...BUT... the A&M Web site has a Soundgarden cyber-postcard you can send to people...it is the DOTU cover.. anyone wants it, go to http://www.amrecords.com/mail.html eliza *********************************** We are built upon false foundations We are built upon misplaced expectations and blown away... --Handsome ------------------------------ From: Rajan V Vohra Subject: Re: If only I was a spoiled rock star! that's not a spoiled rock star it's a porno star!

Anybody? Bueller? Ideas... Faith No More would do a bitchin' "New Damage." (See "War Pigs.") They Might Be Giants could kick the hell out of "Half." And I'm personally a little cheezed that "Outshined" didn't make it on to Pat Boone's new metal record "In a Metal Mood." What does Dio have that SG doesn't? (That was more or less a joke.)

Is it just me, or did my mailbox suddenly explode with posts? Keep up the good work, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry if I sound like the lady at the daycare center) Big Ben! I stand to correct you! (hope you don't mind =) You're quite right, Chris and Kim do have *just a bit* more facial hair than a soul patch (and I'm glad they do - it's just a ridiculous little 'I tried, but I couldn't quite make it' kind of thing - no offense to any of you who do have one =). But, to make it even MORE ridiculous, it was not Kim he mentioned, I believe it was "the bassist of Soundgarden" that was mentioned. (aka BEN!) Now, I'm sorry, but I think it's just a bit offeneding (to me anyway - but I do have a few 'tendencies' when it comes to the recognition of Mr. Shepherd =) that someone dare suggest he ever ruin that gorgeous pale face by adding ANY kind of facial hair. It's the kind of thing that keeps me up at night, lying there, hoping, wondering if the guy with the best ass in the world will be overtaken by some kind of temporary insanity and decide to grow, ugh, facial hair. Speaking of facial hair, I looked at the cover of Rolling Stone or Spin or something like that (I don't pay too much attention those kind of things) and guess who was on it? Trent Reznor. And guess what he has grown? A GOATEE. One suspiciously like the one that adorns the face of our beloved vocalist. I wonder if Chris has seen this, and if he thinks the same way I do...or even more importantly, if he even cares... UKDeb - I *love* the pom-breeding twist. Perfect. =) I have a stupid suggestion of a thread - if all the guys in Soundgarden got into a fight, which one do you think would win????? One last little thing...about Soundgarden being nominated for the live performance of Pretty Noose. Why? I mean, it's a great song, and we all love it and anything else by Soundgarden, but I think most of us agree that Pretty Noose has some kind of curse on it or something. It's never particularly best performed live. Why are those people who pick these nominees looking there, instead of someplace else? Some other song performed by Soundgarden? I'm sure, even though Pretty Noose live kicks the asses of 98% other "bands'" (I won't mention the B-word) music, period, that if they looked somewhere else they might find their skin crawling with delight. Too bad the common public can't see what a treasure these for men are. Then again, it's probably best they didn't. Leave fluffy music to fluffy people, I say! We can have Soundgarden all to ourselves, because we know the right way to play with their toys and we put them away when we're done. =) Okay, so I'm not exactly "all here" tonight.

First of all I totally respect every ones opinion. WHY NOT? This is not the best band in the WORLD? I think I know where you guys are coming from. They are an electric band is how I (interperit?) it. Basically they couldn't DO an acoustic set. As a BAND? WHY??? If they tried to do the songs note for note, no, they couldn't. But that's ( to me) not how they would do it. Kim couldn't do his solos. SO WHAT. Change them. He does anyway. Chris couldn't sing them? Yeah RIGHT!!! Tell me again WHY NOT? Maybe the band ,as a band, wouldn't want to do it. But if they wanted to....... POINT MADE!!! I am not trying to sound prickish, but I just can't believe I heard what I've heard.
