I tried to search for info on this in the list archive but didn't find any.

UKDeb is back to her normal self after being posessed by the spirit of 15 year old Glen Fiddich :-)..... The day Soundgarden *officially* announce they are splitting is the day I will beleive it. Okay so they *may* not be each others favourite people at the moment so they are doing the sensible thing and taking a break. They *know* they have something special so they are making the right moves to preserve it. Remember, Ben has always been psycho. When he joined the band I believe lots of people in Seattle thought they were mad to take him on. They have also admitted that at least three of them are moody/volatile/aggressive and get into fights (some of which they provke)- although not with each other necessarily. Look at that recent bundle between Chris, Ben and Rocket From the Crypt (any goss on that one, Aussie sommsters?) After the Superunknown tour there were rumours here in Europe that Ben was unhappy with the musical direction and was leaving. Chris later laughed it off, but there's no smoke without fire, y'know! And if he did leave that wouldn't necessarily mean the end of the band (sorry, Benlover but it's true). In fact, I am sure it wouldn't! Yes, they have made brilliant music with Ben and I am not dissing his contribution to the band in any way, but that's not to say they wouldn't have continued to do so if Hiro had stayed. Or they'd got someone else on bass (I'm ignoring Everman here). And Chris once said that if Hiro hadn't decided to leave they would have fired him anyway. So I guess is what I'm saying is, if the Kim/Ben spat was anything more than pre-menstrual tension (these sex changes are tricky things ;-)), trust them to work it out and try not to worry.

Yeah, you may think it's boring, but it's important to me to have the word "soundgarden" in the URL somewhere, even though I loved some of the other suggestions (thanks, everyone).

The move to the new address could happen as soon as this weekend, though as I'm sure some of you have noticed, the site is still missing pieces.

Alright Everybody! Here's my opinion on the Soundgarden battle. Can you imagine being with the same people over and over again. Sure, they may be your best friends, but wouldn't you get sick of them after awhile. Of course, you need to take a breather, especially after being on such a long tour. I'm sure the tension was heavy, and when they all finally blew off at eachother, I think that was good for them, I still believe they will be together for years to come. Also, some of you were wondering where we heard this news. I live in Seattle and got the info from the local radio station, is The End, 107.7, KNDD. They also announced that there wasn't anything official about them breaking up, so don't fret it and let's enjoy there music for the time being. later, Rachel ------------------------------ From: Brian34295@aol.com Subject: Acoustic soundgarden.... Wha's up? I am almost positive that this burning question has already been answered, but what the hell....i'll ask it anyway. Question: Are there any bootlegs out there that exist of Soundgarden playing at least a partial acoustic set? The reason why i ask is because i have partial-acoustic bootleg cds of Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and Nirvana - and i tend to like these bands better when they are playing "unplugged". One more question.... Are there any bootlegs of the Big Day Out Festival that are available?? If someone could e-mail me and let me know i would really appreciate it. Seth, you are right. Michael Jackson does own the Beatles' recordings....yep, every single one of them. So that means that he is getting royalties every time that someone decides to cover them....too bad, right? And, on the compilation thread or whatever it was called....i would love to see a band called I Mother Earth play with Soundgarden. I think that the two would blend in well together...plus they need some exposure over here in the united states.

It was alaright I thought, as I didn't have a clue about the unofficial mailing list, or the internet for that matter. But they never sent me anystuff again. A couple of months ago, when I got the internet, I joined the unofficail mailing list(This wonderful mailing list that I'm on at the moment), and the officail one. The official ones crap as it only sends you stuff like once a month, but then just three days ago the fan club sent me some soundgarden phone credit card (It's of no use to me what so ever as it only works in America and I live in Australia) a soundgarden christmas card, and something else.

Well Chris said no. He said that they had songs that would sound good unplugged, but songs like Outshined would sound ridiculous. And before someone brought it up on the digest, I also heard about Kim being a woman. Ofcourse I just laughed and forgot about it. I thought he just made it up and that no one else thought that.

From: "Shawn David Kennedy" Now I am not trying to say that I want the band or any part of the band to break up, BUT... If it came down to it, and either Soundgarden would break up, or either Ben or Kim would leave the band, who would you rather see go? (Did that make any sense?) It is a really tough choice, because I like both of them, but I think I would rather see Kim leave than Ben. I know that Kim is a founding member, but Ben is a better songwriter in my mind.

Lots of cool bands like Nirvana, AIC, PJ, etc etc have done unplugged. Are you saying their not cool? What the hells your problem!! no no no.....i didnt mean that. My thinking is there is alot that goes on behind the scenes with management the public never knows about. Everything is probably carefully planned. Any little thing can probably either help or hurt a career. I think SG doing unplugged would be as bad and sad as SG doing late night w/david L. I dont think SG really needs unplugged. They dont need it for a career move. I think the whole setting would disagree with their 'tude. I wonder if PJ really wanted to do it. Plus, its not unplugged anyway. All those geetars are plugged in!! MTV Just sucks! I love to hear Chris scream his guts out as much or more than him singing quiet and low ;). My idea: bootcampnet. Something not completely obvious.

You don't want to fight someone would is crazy and doesn't give a fuck. Ben could easily take down Matt, I think. Now we go to Ben vs Kim: Hmm. This would be a semi-even match I think. But after a long bloody drawn out fight, I think Ben would be the last one standing (remember..psycho factor). And for the main event: Chris vs Ben. Let's get ready to rumble : ) Chris, based on the Fairfax show is still built, so this fight wouldn't be what you would expect. Again, look for there to be a drawn out bloody battle, with Chris pulling out various hidden weapons near the end. And when the dust is settled, I think Chris, with Shroom cheering in the background, wins : ) - -vince ------------------------------ From: tonerkin Subject: Re: Just a BAD thought...

Not only is Kim the founding member of Soundgarden. He is known and praised for his fabulous guitar work. Chris for his dynamic vocals. Matt for his superb drumming. What is Ben the most known for.......giving fans the finger, threatening all that displease him, spitting, violence and a nasty disposition!! Yes, he is a great bassist and his songwriting would be greatly missed BUTT I think that if anyone has caused a riff in the band it is Ben!! I think the current line-up is the most sucessful of the three there have been. Maybe we are all reacting to rumors that are unfounded. Having arguments with and thinking about killing a co-worker is not that uncommom!! And if you work for the fine United States Postal Service you do it once in a while!!!

Anyone else out there have any thoughts on > this? Whoa. I totally disagree with you Shawn. I agree that Ben is a better songwriter than Kim, but not by much. However, Kim's leaving would have much more of a devasting effect on Soundgarden. Kim's guitar playing defines what SG is all about. When I listen to SG, the first things that come to my mind are Chris's vocals, Kim's guitar playing, Matt's drums, and then Ben's bass. I totally respect Ben's bass-playing ability and he does a great job but if he left, I wouldn't be as heartbroken as opposed to if Kim left. But hey, I don't think they are going to break up anyway. - -vince ------------------------------ From: Vince Varkey Subject: Re: snl; unplugged; my SG song On Fri, 21 Feb 1997, merlin.dwc@internetmci.com wrote: > As far as the whole SNL TV aptitude issue goes, I really had no > problem w/ their performance.

As far as the whole SNL TV aptitude issue goes, I really had no problem w/ their performance. Sure, it wasn't their best, but all in all I thought it was pretty damn good, considering Chris was having problems w/ his voice. "Pretty Noose" is one of the toughest to sing, I would imagine, and I think he pulled it off pretty well. And BIMH was great. I'm just happy I got to hear them play 2 of my favorite songs on national tv. They have plenty of "TV aptitude." They're not a flashy band, their music speaks for itself. I think that's a really refreshing thing to see on tv. But if they choose not to do many tv appearances, I respect that, and like I said before, I'd prefer seeing them live to seeing them on tv any day. I do kinda have to agree w/ whoever said they can't picture SG sitting still for long enough to do an unplugged. It sure would be fun to see 'em try though... I can just picture Ben getting mad and smashing all the furniture, spitting at the camera people & knocking over all the candles. But I loved both Nirvana and AIC unplugged, it's true that some songs are *better* that way, and I really do wish SG would do it, someday. Whoever asked what sort of a song we'd write if we could write one for SG... it's interesting you should bring that up. I recently wrote a poem about a boy who's parents get divorced after his father writes a book and his mother decides she wants to become an actress, and it's written through the eyes of the boy, who's about 10 or 11. It was inspired by something that happened to one of my friends, but before I wrote it I'd been listening to "Ty Cobb" a lot. And after I read it a couple times, I thought, "Hey... this would make a good punk song..." because it's actually about something serious that happened but it's written in a very sarcastic way. And I think that I was inadvertently influenced by SG to write it. So... that's my song. That's all for now... ~Lorraine "I don't want to go on pretending because it feels like I'm talking to Charlie Brown's parents..." ~Dishwalla "Those people are saying, 'Destroy the government.'

Okayokayokay...I'll admit Ben is a bit out of control a lot of the time. I think it all boils down to the fact that he's probably a bit insecure. He tries so damn hard to convince evryone he's a big ball of hate, powerful kicks & punches, and saliva, he forgets the other parts of him that are showing (sexy bits, of course, but not exactly what I always hope to get a glimpse of =). Just read his lyrics - you'll get a clue to his personality there. I look at him and I see a big baby with a great ass - he acts like a twelve year old most of the time. He speaks intelligently (when he's not busy spitting on people), and I think he's really just a big sweetheart whose trying to put on the act that he's tough, and going a LITTLE overboard. He's only 28, as well. He'll get more docile as the years go by. AND - have you noticed him getting any worse since Kurt Cobain committed suicide, or is that just my overactive imagination...?

The book also has other great pix, esp. Kurdt & Courtney, Rob Zombie. Quoting a review in SMUGNYC mag, "It would not be an overstatement to say Lavine (along with live action photographer Charles Peterson) helped create what would later become the Sub-Pop mystique." He's also worked with Scavullo, and attributes his use of colored-paper backdrops and use of "cross-processing" (to create rich gooey hues) to him.
