But I think they will do it because they want to. Consider also that the remix is just that a remix - it was not done as an original. The same with the Johnny Cash version of "Rusty Cage". Does this mean they are going country. No it means that someone else liked the song and did it in their fashion. So Soundgarden puts out their sound and the world makes it over in their style.

Too bad you couldn't. What you said about SG's SNL performance didn't bother me at all Lorraine. Like you said, that is your opinion. And it is in my humble opinion that Chris's voice sucked that night. Where do you get off telling me that I didn't appreciate Chris's effort that night? Look, I am not a blind puppethead fan..if SG does something I don't like songwise or whatever, I have no problem in saying so. I realize that Chris gave 100% that night. But, God bless him, his voice wasn't ready for whatever reason, hence the subpar performance. But if you think he did a good job, more power to you. However, does this mean that I couldn't appreciate or understand his performance? No. All I did was critique it. Don't sit here and try to analyze what I may or may not be thinking Lorraine and don't test my loyalty. Don't be ignorant. - -vince ------------------------------ Subject: Cibo Matto / Weird Al From: seth Though Johnny Cash's version of Rusty Cage has become the most well-known of Soundgarden covers, it may not be the most bizarre.

Here's what I think. If you are into SG collectibles, this really is a must-have in my opinion. The way it is packaged is also very cool. Since I didn't feel like buying the Burden in My Hand single, a few of these songs were new to me. Here is what I thought: 1) Jerry Garcia's Finger - I had a tape of this song before, but listening to it again makes me wonder why Soundgarden even bothered. It seems (along with A Slice of Spacejam) like a waste of time. It is not bad but I don't think it's worthy enough to put on recordings. 2) Karaoke - This was a new song for me. I have to say that it is not bad. The guitar riff in the beginning and is played throughout gets a little boring but when Chris get's into the melody ("You can feel it in your bones") I thought it was really great. Overall I liked it. 3) Bleed Together - Wow. I really liked this song. Listening to it made me wonder why it wasn't put on DOTU. I think it is easily one of the better SG songs out there. The beginning was very un-SG like..it almost sounded like they were doing a cover song. But I love the main melody. That is classic SG right there when Chris starts wailing. I loved it. If this is the new direction that SG might be taking when it comes to their next album, I don't think I would mind at all. 4) Birth Ritual (demo) - This was also the first time I had heard the demo version of this song. I thought it was very interesting. Chris's voice is *really* straining in some parts but not in that SNL-Pretty-Noose-way. I loved the Singles version and I like this demo. 5) Fell on Black Days (video version) - We have all heard this by now. It was cool then and is great now. 6) Dusty (Moby mix) - Ahh. Words can not describe how wonderful this version is. I agree with Seth..this version is a little better than the original. To anyone who hasn't heard this yet, you really need to do yourself a favor and check it out. I hope that for the next SG single, they put all 3 Moby mixes of Dusty on it. Hey, if NIN and Depeche Mode can do it, why not SG.. Anyway, that is what I thought about Down Under on the Upside. Any comments (especially about Karaoke and Bleed Together) are appreciated. - -vince ------------------------------ From: me Subject: Radiosaur Rhinosaur seems to be getting some radio air play, does anyone know if it will be the next single.

I really hope that they go on tour again after a while, but every band needs a break from things. So when the guys decide to come over to where you are and play, the tickets are on me! By the way, thanks for hookin' me up. I was also curious if there was a song that soundgarden has not been able to play live at their shows because they might not be able to create the same kind of sound that the original song has, or if it's just too hard for them to play live. And, how long have they usually played during their concerts? Did they play anything from their early days with subpop?

I don't want to devalue somebody's worth as a musician or otherwise, but jason everman was imho very much an abberation. the band was about to tour for their first release on a major label and they needed someone to fill hiro's spot quickly. jason just happened to be in the right place at the right time. in the end, however, the decision to bring him in was wrong. he didn't add anything to the band and just wasn't the man for the job. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: blind dog Subject: just to fall asleep...

I pretty much agree, if only that it is a waste of our time to buy the respective singles just for those tracks (there is a small chance that the band had fun recording these, but I doubt it) . I think the remixes are somewhat like that - filler material. both kim and chris have voiced their unwillingness (for want of a better word) to record or release new songs as b-sides for single releases; arguing that their albums are so long that new material really isn't necessary or even fair to them, chris making super-clear that it was european record companies who have always put on the squeeze for "unreleased tracks". I think that in the case of the instrumentals, remixes and rehashed live tracks we've seen included on the last couple of singles, the band are offering "fillers" because they don't want to give away what might be considered real songs. consequently, it looks like the band will be saving any material they have left over or have since written for their next full-length release. as much as we all want new songs every couple of months, it looks like we won't be getting them ... ...and for those of you who have read this far: please go directly to the wwc homepage and take a look at the possible cover art for _declaration of conformity_ by the man himself, tad dameron. any bets on who is featured in the first image, left to right? ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: SJordet@aol.com Subject: New thread !!!

As I sat in the car this morning, waiting for my two cups of coffee to kick in, banging my head on the steering wheel trying to get the fucking music out of my head - I realized it was Hands All Over I was trying to beat out. Ooops, my mistake. =) Later in the day I had Mailman stuck in my head, then I had Outshined. THE ACTUAL POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS - which SG song do you get stuck in your head most often? I usually don't get any particular one in there, but does anyone here have one that drives them bug-poopie all day long because they can't get it out...? I was thinking toady, why doesn't every person attracted to men love Soundgarden? I mean, screw to B-band (we won't mention their name =) composed of a bunch of really ugly, talentless guys and one mediocre-looking lead singer. Soundgarden has a guy from four different categories of guys - tall, thin and pale (my favorite =), tall, dark and handsome, tall, furry and funny, and tall, sandy-haired and absolutely fucking adorable. They're all handsome men, they all have both sexy personalities and bodies, their talent is mind-boggling, and they're just great guys who make great music. What's not to love?????? =) Sorry to all of those who actually like Bush, I'm not trying to offend you.

But does anyone else feel like this album is less than what they are capable of? I mean there are a couple of songs on the album where I can feel their power (Never the Machine Forever, Burden in My Hand, Overfloater, etc.) but it is nothing close to the power that Superunknown, Badmotorfinger, and earlier music created. I hate to put it this way but, are they wussing out? Are they getting too old to rock?! I certainly hope not and shutter to even think this but thier next album has to be less about form and complexity (Switch opens) and more about what they do best (kicking some major ass!!!!!) And where do they get off not putting Bleed Together on DOTU. This has to be without a doubt one of their best songs ever and is the microcosism of everything they should be striving for in their next album. I'll shut up now and return to antisocial status.

All this talk about how great or bad Ben has been for the band is really irrelevant. If Ben left the band now, I doubt that they would continue as Soundgarden, for they have truly become a cohesive unit. The sum is greater than the parts. If they did choose to go on without Ben, then they would be Soundgarden and , just as SG fans had to cope when Hiro left(though they were far fewer in number), we would have to cope. Maybe you wouldn't listen to SG anymore, maybe you would...does it matter? What happens between them is something that is out of our hands, and all this pro-Ben/anti-Ben discussion is just a big headache now. Besides, who said that Soundgarden was gonna break up?

Do you really think SG is going for the large stadium concerts? The three concerts I was at last year were not your big arena's. Here in DC Metallica is playing at the US Air arena big old place that was used by rock bands in the 70's and 80's like the Rolling Stones, Led Zep, David Bowie (am I showing my age - no comments from you Toni!). It is the show place for larger than life rock bands - those who are trying to pull in large crowds. You know the type of place where you can get seats that the performers on the stage look like ants and you have to watch a video screen to see what is going on down on stage. Soundgarden played at a local University center when they were here. I really think they would prefer the small places over the large arenas. IMHO!!!

I remember walkin in to a Roy Roger's "restaurant" some time ago and hearing a Muzak-ed version of Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath... As to the real point of the original post (that was, regarding how things seemed to have softened up on the radio), I remember a post by someone about a year ago (Caryn?) talking about how music tends to get darker in times of social unrest (i.e. wars, recession, etc.) Taking that as a guide, it would seem to make sense. Think about the atmosphere here in the States during the late '80s and early '90s. The economy started slumping, all the changes in eastern Europe, and all of the sudden we were involved in the Gulf War. Since then, we've started getting cheap oil from the middle east again, unemployment is low, and the music seems to have taken a more mellow turn (well, with the exception of Tool.) SG, PJ, Live, even Metallica have toned down their approach recently. Now, maybe what we need is a nice little war to break out somewhere... (No, not really.)

I've wondered this about a couple of songs. I always wanted to hear Limo Wreck and Superunknown live. It seems that these songs are quite vocally demanding.

But getting rid of him will only cause more problems and also put a spin on the best god damn band in the universe. Look what happened last time they tried to replace a bass player. They got Jason Everman(what a gimp). Ben is a great asset to the band. Hell he is the band. SG without any of the members just wouldn't be the same.

HELP!! ------------------------------ From: "Cornholio" Subject: FOPP Hey all, I'm a first time poster here, though I've been secretly been reading all the mail I get ...but I really wanna get this off my chest. I think that FOPP is the best Soundgarden song ever! From the starting guitar riffs to the end chorus...it kicks ASS!!! If only Hiro came back for one song...it would have to be FOPP!! And if you ask me...I think it would sound pretty funky acoustically...but SG ain't funky... Another gripe I have is...those idiots at Muchmusic (Canada's MTV) don't play ANY SG...that really pisses me off, first when BUTOW came on...I saw about 5 and that was it..no more BUTOW..and it's a wicked video...it's a basic metophor for all the media's impact on society that send us propaganda to make us convinced that what THEY say is right. Although it can also be a vid on two doctors messing with CC's mind. :) Till next time.. Corny Hey y'all...how are ya doing?....uh huh....uh huh....ok...yeah....leave me alone now. Fish heads, Fish heads, Roly Poly Fish heads, Fish heads. Fish heads, Eat them up, YUM! - -Barnes & Barnes "I love ya baby!"--665 by Soundgarden (reversed) ------------------------------ From: me Subject: mtv I checked out mtv's site, and found out you can e-mail them from there, so I decided to e-mail them demanding them to play JCP, you can also e-mail M2& Patt Minfield I mean Matt Pinfield of 120 minutes fame, asking him to play JCP. After all they played a little bit of it while SG were guest's. So come on people flood them with e-mail, minutes120@aol.com, m2music@aol.com is the other, demand Jesus christ pose, and flower if they have it. ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 49] ***************************************
