Re: Soundgarden Digest, Monday, 7 Apr 1997 Off the current bad subject.. Sommsters of New York City... ------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: It's over... From: "Shawn David Kennedy" Since the age of 13, Soundgarden has been a huge part of my life. One of the truly constant things, you know? I am 20 now, and it's over. I did not think it would end now, with the guys being so young still. I guess it is just time. I am just thankful for all the great music and memories. From the very first song I ever heard from them (Hands all Over) to the very last I will hear (Boot Camp), it has been great. I will always be greatful that I have their records and have had the priveledge of seeing them live. Thank you, Soundgarden, for all the good times. -Shawn Kennedy P.S. I wish all the guys luck in their future pursuits ------------------------------ Subject: Soundgarden 1985-1997 From: valhalla7@juno.com (Jonathan W Parsons) Hey List, I've been hiding in the corner reading the digest for a little over a year. I've been reading all the posts from yesterday, and it makes me feel sorry for most of the people writing. People are screaming that they can't go on. People are screaming that "we can't give up on Soundgarden even if they gave up on themselves." Don't get me wrong...I love Soundgarden. They have significantly effected my life. But guys...listen up, this isn't the end of the world. It's not the end of mine or yours. It's especially not the end of Chris, Kim, Ben, or Matt's. And, no, they didn't give up on themselves or each other or their fans. They are still friends; they are just pursuing their other interests. People were screaming about getting together a mob and doing something. It is very selfish of us to want to try to make them stay together. And I firmly stand by Caryn in saying that if they stayed together while not wanting to be together it wouldn't be Soundgarden. It would be product for the music industry. I for one will always keep the music in my heart and alive on my stereo. And this list will have many more wonderful discussions about the guys we all know and love. Soundgarden isn't dead. Soundgarden isn't just music. A great man once said, "Soundgarden is a state of mind" [Chris Cornell, Motorvision...very good video]. And just because the guys are not currently playing their beautiful music together, it doesn't mean that Soundgarden is dead. Soundgarden is very much alive...and will remain that way. OK, I'll sit back down now, Jonathan Parsons "On the road that I have taken, one day, walking, I awaken, amazed to see where I have come, where I'm going, where I'm from." - --The Book of Counted Sorrows ------------------------------ From: CL Miller Subject: whatsoever i've feared has come to life us not understanding is human nature them not caring is inhuman nature tell those who don't understand our pain to go to hell chris ------------------------------ From: gene Subject: #somms Hi all.

I experienced pretty much what all of us had... shock, denial, etc... And I'd like to thank everyone for feeling as I do. So it's true about Ben. A shame HIS PERSONALITY got in the way of being an amazing bassist and an additional songwriter. And it's too late now, but I don't think an "official" split was neccessary. And I think (well, mostly hope, but it's quite possible) all that nees be done is a hiatus, Chris doing some solo work, Kim on Pigeonhed, Matt and... him... on Hater, whatever... THEN they continue the whole of Soundgarden at their leisure. And yes, there is a lot to say, and I'll regret not posting further once I think of the words, but, as true Soundgarden fans, I think we know... yeah... One day at a time, we'll learn more, we'll deal with it. Scott Goss - -- On your breast I might lay my crowded head... In your mouth I might feel the serpent's kiss...

I told myself I was not going to do this, but I can't help it... I'm going to join all of you people crying for SG.... Can't believe it happened... I always thought that they would be the last ones to disband... and even when I think that the albums are there, I know is not going to be the same... Fuck! I want to cry right now... but I know I mustn't... I'm sure they never wanted all of us to cry... or at least I want to think that... It feel better to write to all of you and to know that I'm not alone... Thank for listening...

Date: 97-04-09 19:44:07 EDT From: SndGrdn45 To: SOMMS@mit.edu Yes, I still fell sick about this breakup. I just wanted to thatnk everyone on this wonderful list for letting me know more about the band and it's music. Thank you for all this infromation that at one time I might've not know. Thank you for teaching me. I'd especially like to thank Shroomy for the pictues, and Seth for the website, and all his knowledge of this amazing group of people. You're a good man Seth. This sounds like I'm not gonna be on SOMMS anymore, but I cant leave!! Soundgarden will always be the best band (they're more than a band. I don't know what they are. Geniuses.) They'll always be in our hearts. We'll always going to love them and listen to them forever, right? Besides, there's no way that my shrine is gonna get moved or put away. But I still haven't heard about it on the radio (92.3 KROCK) Kurt Loder said it was official from A&M. Well, I have to go cry again now. - -antonia ------------------------------ From: SndGrdn45@aol.com Subject: No, this isn't happpening.

No, this isn't happeneing Date: 97-04-09 19:18:49 EDT From: SndGrdn45 To: SOMMS@mit.edu No. My life is over. How could the greatest band ever break up? I just heard in MTV news. When my friend called me and told me, I just broke down. I'm still breaking down. I'm still crying hysterically, asking why this happened. Even though I have a good idea why, but my life is Soundgarden. I have not seen them yet (b/c they sell out in a matter of seconds, and the club sent me the special phone number too late.) I feel so sick and I have that horrible feeling in my stomach. I cannot believe that they broke up after all these years, all the amazing music. I cant describe this feeling of emptyness in words. A piece of my life is gone. All that time that I spent listening, watching, or doing whatever with this band seems like it's been taken away. I cannot believe that I can never see Soundgaden play together ever again in my whole life. I've been waiting till they came around, started recording. Just being able to see this remarkable group with my very own naked eye. To see Chris sing, to see Kim, Ben, and Matt. But I can't, which will leave me depressed for the rest of my already shitty life, which will be even worse now. I don't want or feel like talking to my parents, friends, or people around me because this feeling is unbearable. A big chunk of my heart and life is, or was SG. But they'll always be amazing to me. I was just listening to BMF this afternoon, then this happens. My last time of listening to Soundgarden not knowing that they were broken up. Well, I have to go lie down or something. I think I'm going to be sick. - -antonia ------------------------------ From: SndGrdn45@aol.com Subject: Another horrible day My life sucks. everything sicks. First, the 8th was the 3 year anneversay of KC's death. Then on the 9th, the breakup. I still can't get it thorough my head. Yeah, I can say they broke up. But when you really think about it, the thought and fact just fuckin rips out your heart, throws it on the floor, and stomps on it, over and over and over again. Forever. all day yesterday after I heard the news, I was absolutely hysterical. I would not stop crying, and when I did, it would start again. I was screaming and crying and throwing things. Today my throat hurt like a bitch, I couldn't talk. When my mother got home last night, I told her and cried hysterically again. She comforted me and it sort of helped. But she kept on saying,"It's ok. They'll get back together. All of the other bands do it, so they will." How does she know? Well, I don't either. I was up till 2:30 this morning writing. Writing my feelings, and my poems about this tragedy. I listened to DOTU, but I had to stop it. What am I listening to? The sounds are there, but it's too hard for me to accept the fact that the 4 men who made this amazing music no longer exsist as a group. Theyr'e gone. There's no more Soundgarden. It's nothingness. I will still always love the band, but for the rest of my life I can never be toatally happy. Never. Today I was so sick. I couldn't talk because my thrat hurt too much. My eyes were extremely puffy, I had a runny and stuffy nose at the same time, and I almost puked 3 times. In the middle of my Science exam, I almost ran out of the room to puke. This is all because of the breakup, and It's only one of the few ways that this has affected me. When I heard the news yesterday, I was nauseus. I couldn't take it. Soundgarden physically, mentally, and spiritually affaects us all. And then when some of the assholes found out that I was depressed and didn't say more than 6 words the whole day because of the breakup, they made fun of me. MADE FUN OF ME? I coludn't believe how immature these 2 people were, but they just don't understand. They never will understand how this is affecting me for the rest of my life. April 9, 1997 was the absolute worst day of my whole entire life so far. Then one of my teachers found out. He sort of knew how important this band was to me, and he told my to relax, and that they have to get back together because they make too much money. MONEY? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't give 2 flying shits about money, and I'm sure SG's career isn't about money, and drastic changes like this wouldn't be only about money. An dwhat also sux, is that I don't know one single person in my life (except for all of you wonderful people who feel about the band as I do) that loves SG with a passion like me and all of you. Who loves these men and their music from the bottom of our hearts. Who is a die hard SG fan. I have to get out of here. I have to go get a tissue now. - -antonia ------------------------------ From: "Matt Cameron" Subject: what more can i say? 12 years of greatness 12 years of amazingness 12 years of "rockness" i think we sad it all theres nothing more to say exept that it`s over and it`s the end and i know that if we could have done something we would have done it yestuday but as you see we didnt do anything wich means there was nothing we could have done. so now after concluding the last 2 days i think it`s time to say goodbye or maybe c`ya later because now "Soundgarden" is just a word to discribe what was the greatest band in the world so i wish you the begining of a new and Soundgardenless life wich i think will be a very hard time so pull yourself together and let soundgarden be with you all the way!

I just am crushed that the band that inspired me to go out there and do what i truely love, writing and singing, has "died." I got the strength in myself and through them to make a career out of singing and writing and now they no longer exisit. I can't believe it! This won't make me stop what I am doing. Actually, the anger makes me want to go and do even even, even better. I am writing a song about "The Day the Garden Died."

Your post was, literally, almost word for word how I felt and reacted. My emotion also went through a strange "phases of grief" kind of rollercoaster yesterday (and still are today). I also experienced anger as I listened to the radio on my way home from work, waiting to hear ANYTHING by Soundgarden (left my tapes at home yesterday, DAMN!) and got an earful of Dishwalla and Hootie and The Eagles and on and on but NOTHING by SG. Not even a mention. I then forced myself to watch MTV, hoping that one of the positive results of the breakup might be a video marathon (too much to hope for, I know) and I get Singled Out and Madonna's new song for the rainforest on the news. Whatever. I piled all my CD's, tapes, videos, magazines and books together and watched, listened and read until a fell asleep on top of the Motorvision video box. I just wanted to soak them up and make them a part of me forever. I know that sounds so dramatic but I just didn't want to let them go. I thought about some of the posts I read and I felt a pit in my stomach. I wanted to talk to someone who cared about this like I did (drats! no e-mail account at home!). I screamed along to the entire second half of Superunknown on the way to work this morning and felt better, even though I was crying. I look forward to anything that the guys want to give us in the future and have no anger toward them--just thankfulness, for sharing their talents with us for as long as they did. And for touching the lives (and some cases, changing the lives) of so many people. I always thought Soundgarden was going to be a band that stood the test of time, and I believe the music they left us with will. I just really wish their desire to make it together would have as well.

Soundgarden had so much music to give us, and somuch to teach, because they were four talented artists who were together in the one band. We can only hope that if any of them form new bands, they will bring that light of understanding to that band, and they can teach us anew. Soundgarden has not died, for it lives in whoever can keep it alive. We will not forget. They gave us everything they owned. All good things must come to an end. this bodes strange eruptions to our state... It is a sad day, but the past has been great, and the future can still be bright. brad. ------------------------------ From: "CALUM HAMILTON" Subject: the end I just want to say why didn't they play there last gig in Seattle,instead of Honolulu.It doesn't make sense!!!!!!. ***************** CALUM HAMILTON ***************** << EAT THE FRUIT AND KISS THE SNAKE GOODNIGHT>> ------------------------------ From: Kathie and David Subject: My Heart Weeps This is so damned hard! Last night it all seemed so easy (shock I guess). I felt numb and kept saying, well at least nobody died, and I didn't feel too bad. Throughout today, though, my functioning has just kept deteriorating. I can barely think of anything else. And I feel stupid for the intensity of these feelings. I have a beautiful family and its true, all four of our guys are still alive and kicking. I'm a grown woman for christ's sake, but the pain washes over me in waves - and I haven't even been able to cry yet because of the kids (Hey, what did you do to mom? Nothing! You didn't hit her over the head with that "Ten Ton Tonka" again did you?) They get too freaked out. But now I fight the tears. Why? I'm afraid if they start they won't stop. and Why? They aren't dead, they'll probably each still record. But it won't be the glory that was Soundgarden. The only band in almost a decade to prick through the fog of shitty music that has innundated us for as long. My favorite. I thought they would last for so much longer. And the whole thing was like a huge punch in the stomach after all the "No the rumors of troubles in the band are being blown out of proportion". I am furious that we were lied to. How cruel to leave us so trustingly open to this pain. My wonderful husband, knowing how this would affect me, surprised me with two more import singles last night, and you know what, I couldn't even listen to them. In fact the only reason I listened to them this morning was so I wouldn't hurt his feelings. I have to set aside a special time, all alone, where I can listen to the music, because I know that that is when I will spill forth all my grief and cry and cry and cry. But I'm like Chris - I like to hold on to my pain - and I'm not ready to let go yet. I thank God that I fell in love with Soundgarden the first time I saw them, so I've had over 7 years of joy from them. I'm thankful that I've seen them in concert many times, and I thank the Soundgarden Gods for getting to meet them in Chicago, as well as spend time with some of you wonderful sommsters. God it feels good to write. I could go on and on. Better move on to private email now. Take care everyone. Oh, and Seth, thank you so much for thinking of us poor digesters. Having all these extra digests is so helpful. Thank you, thank you , thank you. I feel much more a part of things than I expected to. Kathie ------------------------------ From: Heather Aston Subject: What else? It seems like someone has died. You know how you get really bad news and you just can't accept that it's true? That is what this is like. I feel like a friend has died. The finality is what seems worse. When someone dies, knowing that I can never, ever see them again, that is what is worst. That is what this seems like. And I never even got to see them, not even once. I had a ticket to one of the New York City shows this past winter. It would have been my *first* SG concert. And it was cancelled. I held out hope they would reschedule, then hear there would be no more shows after Hawaii. Fine, I said. I can wait until next year, or later. But now...I'll never get to see SG in concert. Never. *Why*? Does anyone know why? ------------------------------ From: Caryn Rose Subject: after some thought.... i've been thinking about a lot of things, stuff we have all been talking about... o i don't think they lied. i know lots of us do, and it's completely understandable. but i don't think they did. i think that they were telling us the truth as they believed it at the time. o i think we will hear about it. not now, not soon, but eventually i would hope that there will be an interview where they talk to us. now is not the right time. not that they owe us an explanation, but i think they will want to talk to us. someday. o i don't think it had anything to do with ben. i think, rather, that ben's temper flares recently were a *symptom*, not the cause of the situation. i just think they were *unhappy* and just didn't know it. sometimes you don't know until you sit down to t hink about it. sometimes you avoid thinking about it because you know you're unhappy, because it's just too big and too scary and too huge to deal with. what do i think happened? i think they were in the studiom, or about to go into the studio, and i think they suddenly realized that they maybe didn't have anything to say any more as *soundgarden*. that they still have a lot of music in them, but perhaps that this entity had come to an end. i know we disagree with that, and can give compelling testimony to the opposite. but it's like a job, where one day you walk in and you just want to throw up. chris mansfield said last night that his impression is that chris just was not happy over this past year. the drinking, the weight loss.. the man was *not* happy on stage. and as much as this hurts me, and hurts us all, i *know* that none of us want chris, or kim, or ben, or matt, to not be happy. (happy for chris, that is. happiness is relative ;->) even if it meant soundgarden coming to an end. i admire t hem for calling it quits. a lesser band would have gone on. (lesser bands *have* gone on even when they no longer have anything relevant or interesting to say, as many of us have pointed out.) but this is not a lesser band, this is *soundgarden* we're talking about. and yes, this is like someone has died. because for each of us, a little bit of us has died right now. a part of our lives is over. for some of us, a VERY significant part of our lives is over. and there's no way that it's not going to cause us deep pain. do i think that the band knows this? yes, i do. and i think that the band is also hurting right now. this is hardly a decision they came to lightly. i am most sure they knew what pain this would cause us. but there was nothing they could do about that. i read a post in another forum last night that described a phone call someone made to susan silver yesterday. susan was crying, but confirmed that it was completely amicable. there is no hidden tale here. it would almost be easier for some of us if the band were fighting, or if there was a tangible "reason". but there isn't. this will take some time to come to grips with. at least we have this forum, and each other, despite everything we've been through. i'm grateful, i'm sure we're all grateful. and most of all, at the end of it, i am still eternally grateful to soundgarden for letting me, and us, be a part of the magic that they created. - --caryn ------------------------------ From: RAINYDAY13@aol.com Subject: Re: Soundgarden Digest, Monday, 7 Apr 1997 hey everyone. In response to the entry on 665 backwards, I'm the SOMEONE that mentioned this to the list sometime last year, maybe even in late '95. A couple of people on the list thought it was funny and noone mentioned it anymore. I saw the clip on the homepage of 665 in reverse, but I didn't know people were actually claiming they were the first to do it. They took the idea from me. I guess this really doesn't matter now that SG is history. At least, let the truth be known about whose idea this was. ------------------------------ From: Stephen Frantz Subject: Off the current bad subject..

A lot of us got together before the Roseland shows, perhaps we can share both the high and the low times?? I know there are alot of us out there....lurking.... There must be something else, there must be something good......far away, Heather (a.k.a. "The Heater") P.S. 92.3 will be running a "Look back on SOUNDGARDEN'S career" Sunday night at midnight.
