Re: Alive in the Superunknown vinyl butow (note to martin) we hear you wail... ------------------------------------------------------------ From: Peter Taylor Subject: re:soundgardens concert at festival hall melbourne Ruth, I really don't like you am I. Infact I hate them. I was at the melbourne festivel hall gig too. I'll give you am I this much though, they played very well, bur I must say I don't like there music. What did you thing of The Living End? They were the first band. I rteally liked them. Anyway were you one of the people hanging around the side or back entrance after the gig? I was around the side, but I had to go just before soundgarden walked out, as my dad thought I'd been kidnapped. Where were you sitting? I was front row behind the mosh. The mosh would have been cool, but I usually get stood on. Oh well, either reply threw the list, or mail me at the above adress. On another note, just adding my two cents to what I would have liked soundgarden at the two concerts I saw them at. I would have liked to hear Birth Ritual and I really would have liked to have heared 4th of july. Now on to the recovery thing. I guess this only aplies to the aussies on the list. I recorded the whole soundgarden thing on it, and the live sections of the big day out, I was there. I'm not to sure but if anyone from melbourne wants me to copy it for them, send me a private email and we'll discuss it. later Nicky ------------------------------ From: Gyde Subject: New single Hi all, I have just found out what the next single from DOTU will be. RHINOSAUR. I heard it about 3 mins ago on the local radio station, one of those ones that only plays singles and only from recent albums. The DJ said: "And this one's new from Soundgarden...Rhinosaur." Since it's one of my faves on DOTU, this is very good news to me! Take care & stay cool, Tessa. :) ------------------------------ From: KENNY BECKWITH <"beckwith@gte.net"@gte.net> Subject: AAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! AAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! This sucks! This fucking sucks!!! AAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! You know what else sucks. That fact that yesterday I paid 10 bucks to have my SG poster lamenated. I didn't know it was going to cost that much to have it done. It cost me more to lamenate the thing then it did to buy it. Oh well, atleast now I have my poster finally hung up. At the moment that is all I have to bitch about. AAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!!! MY SOMMS CD IS GONE!!!!! AAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

SEATTLE (AP) - Stars of today like Will Smith and Gillian Anderson helped open the video arcade of the future, where a Starbucks worker walked from room to room filling coffee cups from a large bucket strapped to his back. Anderson ditched her serious ``The X-Files'' persona Saturday for a thrilling turn on a virtual water scooter at the grand opening of GameWorks, where rapper Coolio and alternative rocker Beck performed for a live MTV broadcast. GameWorks, the first of dozens planned across the United States by DreamWorks SKG, Sega Enterprises and Universal Studios, features 250 advanced video games and a slew of theme restaurants to keep players fat and happy. The idea is to update the traditional arcade for young adults who don't mind dropping up to $5 for each whack at virtual reality. While Anderson flew solo on the water scooter, Smith went head-to-head with Microsoft mogul Bill Gates in an Indy-style racing showdown. ``This is my spot now. This is where I'm spending my weekends,'' said Smith, who starred in ``Independence Day.'' ``This is definitely the nightclub of the future.'' Other celebrities on hand included Arsenio Hall, MTV's Carmen Electra, actor Frederick Forest, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell and ``Weird Al'' Yankovich. AP-NY-03-16-97 1335EST

There are, I believe around 700 subscribers to somms, but what gives the list life each day are the people who actually post to it. So what you read is what the people who make an contribution want to say to us all (That's not to knock all your lurkers btw :-) In the five months I have been here, nearly every aspect of Soundgarden has been pretty much covered, sometimes more than once. Some of it you may consider frivilous, but the fact is, unless anything new happens in Soundgardenland - new record to discuss, gigs to review, Chris' new tattoo ;-)- it's getting harder and harder to come up with topics to discuss. Personally I think there's room for the musos, the god worshippers and the more 'high minded' sommsters. I'm not having a go at you Stacey, but just pointing out that if you want to talk about Soundgarden's music and what it means to you, you're free to talk about it. That's what the list is for - and you might even start a new thread. UKDeb ------------------------------ From: Luck's Last Match Subject: sg on... duckman!

From my understanding this kit was put together for the Soundgarden Lollapalooza tour this summer. It's a lolla palooza survival kit. This would explain the water pistol. IMO it its not worth $230. I've seen it a couple of times in Goldmine for under $100 (which is still too expensive IMO). Can anyone confirm/deny the "UK only" status?

There is a link on the page if you want to be added to > the page as a trader. The URL is: > > http://members.tripod.com/~Sgrdn/index.html To everyone: PLEASE follow the following guideline that Jason has on his page: "I have no way of knowing, but I ask that you at least have bought all of Soundgarden's regular full length albums before you trade bootleg tapes here. Bootlegs should be a supplemental part of your collection of a band. Soundgarden does not receive any money from bootleg cd's. The only way the band can keep making great music is if we the fans support them by buying their records, cd's, singles, shirts, concert tickets, etc." Bootlegs are not a substitute for authorized releases, and should never be considered as such. If you've got Fresh Deadly Rarities or something like that, you should be prepared to buy an authorized release that includes each of the songs as soon as you can find it. seth ------------------------------ From: merlin Subject: I Wear The Pants!!! hey. . . i hope this is still relevant - i really don't know seeing as how i haven't been receiving my mail since wednesday & when i tried to go to seth's page to read what's been going on, my system kept crashing. but i just wanted to put in my 20 cents on the "who wears the pants" topic. i have no doubt whatsoever that Chris is a very strong, assertive person when it comes to his work, and his life. i also think it's obvious that Susan is a very assertive person - she has to be, b/c of her line of work. she's a business person - that's *her* field. Chris is an artist, that's *his* field. i think it's rare that someone can be both a successful artist and a successful business person. it's Susan's job to decide what's right or wrong for the band - *business wise*. it's not her job to decide what's right or wrong for Chris, and i'm sure if she tried to, he wouldn't be married to her. i'm positive that Chris would never do anything that he didn't want to do, or that he didn't think was right. my point is - they both wear their own pants... if that makes sense. :-) and as far as the "celebrity" issue goes... all "celebrity" really means is a person who is widely recognized... so yeah, in a way Chris is a celebrity. he is to us, anyway... and lots of other people out there. but really it's more the band that's the celebrity. with Sg it's different than a band like Hole, where one person is extremely well-known (unfortunately until recently for the wrong reasons) and the rest are in the background. the 4 members of Sg make up one entity, and really i think that's the way it should be. and Chris was never in it for fame - he doesn't want his face or some persona he created to be known to the world, he wants his art to be. and that's beautiful. that's all for now. . . ~Lorraine "nothing's closing my eyes. . . . ."

I mean all the other singles released from Superunknown are on >there. Good question. On the end credits, they acknowledge all of the videos on there (BHS, TDITTL, FOBD, My Wave) AND Spoonman.

I'm sorry you missed the song. it was great up here in brisbane. but to answer your question, chris played his guitar part on an electric guitar; most probably a fender telecaster. ----------------------------------- a thousand doors, a thousand lies rooms a thousand years wide words by kim thayil ----------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 68] ***************************************
