If Rolling Stone chooses to omit any references of SG, well what can you say. Although I think some of it has to do with the general attitude towards the band that alot of people seem to have, and that is since they werent supposedly "Listener or People Friendly" as I read from one reporter around the time they put out LTL, to quote, if I can remember his exact words,"This band will never achieve the kind of status that one would expect from such a powerhouse foursome and with that will probably fade from the public eye within a year or two", or some tired, lame-ass-shit as that. Because, as he put it, "They dont include others in their closed off world, and that we as outsiders have to try and figure out exactly where these guys are coming from", and so on, and so on, and so on. Now what the f*#k does that have to do with the music. I know thats alittle off the subject of Rolling Stone, but it just brings to mind the kind of closed minded attitude that alot of journalist seemed to have toward SG. Maybe I'm way off base, but maybe not......... Remember nothing else mattered until SU was released. It could also be because of what CC said about RS, but I dont think that would be the only reason. Lets face it in the eyes of this video dominated, fashion ridden, lets go to the beachhouse for springbreak, so we can live in the Real World attitude, what more can you expect Vince. As I said earlier, ITS THEIR LOSS, NOT OURS!. We know what SG does for us and that really is all that matters. Believe me as time goes on you'll find out who the real fans of SG are and not these, "Isnt that the BlacK Hole Sun band, cool". Give me a break........Let me stop while I'm ahead..... I'm sorry listerz, I dont mean to rattle on when I post, but I get so tired of someone who probably has never heard anything from SG except the above mentioned song, go into this tirade about how bad they suck, But the lead singer is a total fox or, Oh I'm so glad this Grunge thing is over. God I feel like pulling a Kim (NC) on someone. Forgive me, but when you talk about SG I feel like your talking about family and your treading on some rather dangerous ground. Maybe I'm more obsessed than I want to believe.

Nicky ------------------------------ From: DML4646@ritvax.isc.rit.edu Subject: The Really really real reason SG split OK, here's the real reason SG split up: The four guys were sitting around relaxing in Kim's hotel room. drinking beers and listening to LTL. Suddenly Susan Silver pops her head in the door to announce that Gavin Rossdale is on the phone. Suddenly Kim gets a wicked smile, and Chris says "put him on the speakerphone" Gavin: I think you guys are the greatest. Black Hole Sun is a great song. But I heard another song called Karaoke,and I thought, man, that's exactly how I feel when I hear a new No Doubt song, or when I perform on stage. KT: shut up you filthy piece of horse excrement Gavin: You are sooooo funny. Can I use that line? MC: He just trashed you, don't you even care? GR: No of course not. He's real, just like me. Were you british in a past life Kim? KT: Were you less annoying in a past life? GR: You are so cool. I wish we could tour together At this point, the members of Soundgarden threw the phone out the window, and decided to break up so that they would never, ever, ever have to play a single show with untalented hacks like Bush. Ben Shepard, who had dreamed of a Hater/Soundgarden tour, is so incensed that he can barely control himself during Soundgarden's final show the next night. However, he would willingly gouge out his own eyeballs to avoid being in the same room as Bush. The future: Kim, who is extremely upset that he couldn't make Gavin cry, finally realizes that Gavin is an alien robot, and joins Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith destroying aliens that threaten to destroy the earth. Matt becomes the singer and Chris returns to the drums in their new group Nedrag, with Jerry Cantrell and Hiro Yamamoto joining after Cantrell realizes that Layne Staley has been dead for 3 years. Ben, Mike Inez and Krist Novoselic form Triple Bass, which becomes the best band on earth, even though everbody hates them. Ben sets a record by appearing on CDs in 17 different bands in one year. Kim takes over the USA by force and makes "Never the Machine Forever" the nat'l anthem Billy Corgan cries. (ps, all of the above is one big fat joke. I don't quite get the joke, but I know it is one.

Hello???!!! Not only was Chris the original drummer for SG, but he is a very good guitar player and if you haven't noticed he often writes the music for all of these instruments as well. Therefore I would imagine that he can play all of these instruments which has nothing to do with him doing a solo thing anyway! He also has played instruments which "you'd think would never be heard on a metal album" like the mandolin and the moog (I think Matt played the moog, but you get my drift). Personally I think he would be great as a solo artist, but no matter what he decides to do, his music will always be filled with emotion and unbelievable talent.

Also thanks to Seth for relaying the message to the list from Matt, and also to Matt for still remembering us. It was good to hear something from the band. Matt obviously did not have to do this, it was a very kind gesture on his part though to say the least. Quite frankly, I was getting sick and tired of people's predictions on where the band members might be headed. Give them a break, do you expect a Chris Cornell solo album to be whipped up in a couple of weeks???Try complaining to the members of Mad Season, how they need someone, other than an unreluctant Lanegan or Staley, to put lyrics together or just release a sort of jam session instrumental album or what not. Back to the Road Rash 3 question, once again thanks for the info even though most replies came around the same time as the first reactions of the breakup were posted. Since the first question I asked also went over well(what does 90 stand for?) and the aforementioned second question, I think I have another one that might stir up some conversation. If this question has already been asked awhile back, please dont flame(naughty, naughty) or say "It has only been answered 90 billion times, thanks for playing...". Alright, here we go: In the first verse of "Overfloater": "Come on in and take me on an override/Been stuck inside and up all night at Dave's..." The question is "who is Dave?" a.

This sounds like Rolling Stone's rebuttal to the EV/RS brouhaha: "no one has stepped forward to refute the facts." *what* facts? i didn't see ANY "facts" presented. i saw a lot of fiction and hearsay masquerading as "fact". I am always suspicious of people who give you "insider" information that is negative. It seems odd to me; if someone asked me about a friend of mine, the first thing that would come to my mind to share wouldn't be negative stuff. it would be good, positive stuff. and it's never a case of some positive stuff tempered with negative... it's always just *negative*. my point is, if people are speaking the truth then they have nothing to fear. if someone lost their job because they said the truth then everyone would know why. but if someone loses their job for spreading bullshit, then they deserve it. i'm sorry. if someone doesn't have the integrity to stand up behind their words, then they should just shut up. if it's true, what do you have to hide? what do you people really want? you can't accept the explanation that has been given to us? why are some of you so intent in finding blood? i guess it hasn't dawned on any of you that matt cameron/soundgarden chose to speak to us before ANYONE else, except their friends and families? you think matt did it to bullshit us? why would he bother? far easier to not say anything.... - --caryn ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: Re: chris cornell you wrote: > chris cornell is the man. i love him. and i will do whatever it takes until he is mine. > have you not noticed that chris is a happily married man of about seven years to the charming, extremely intelligent, and beautiful susan silver? give me a break. oh, but what do i expect from hotmail people anyway? >=[ mind riot ____ i feel the hurt surround me please dissolve me she's resolved to be... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ From: endless_nameless@prodigy.com (GRRL NIKI FREER) Subject: tighter & tighter sommsters, i don't know if anyone has even mentioned this before, but during kim's entire solo, there are these really low, almost completely buried vocals behind it. chris is singing "feel i'm going down!" a few times and he extends it and skips words, the usual chris ad-lib. has anyone else noticed this? i discovered it while listening to it on my walkman the other day, and was totally happy. now that i hear them, it makes the song a bit more fuller. and i'm checking on being able to order a Ty Cobb single here. if not, are there any aussie SOMMSters that would be willing to help me out? thanks for reading! mind riot ____ i feel the hurt surround me please dissolve me she's resolved to be... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ From: GGarbini@aol.com Subject: Re: cc needs more?

Love, Giuliana ------------------------------ From: Brian McGilton Subject: Re: Seattle Weekly Article I've noticed something interesting. I've read many articles on the break up, many making mention of other Seattle bands or even interviewing their members. Not one of the articles has so much as mentioned Alice in Chains. This seems really odd, especially since the band still gets significant air time (at least here in Seattle). Does anyone have any ideas why this is? I feel that exempting Soundgarden, AIC is the best band to emerge from the musical primordial ooze that is Seattle. They also seem to be the most similar in style and abilities to Soundgarden. Taking all this into account, I cannot begin to fathom why they are NEVER mentioned. Any comments would be appreciated. Guido ------------------------------ From: COCHRAN_BONNIE/SBCTC@ctc.ctc.edu Subject: Seattle Weekly Article Here's another article on the break up from another Seattle paper. Bonnie =2D----------------------- Seattle Weekly April 23, 1997 SOUNDGARDEN SIGNS OFF Rock: End of an era for grunge=92s neoclassical stoner band. By Ted Fry Soundgarden: perfect lifespan for a rock band It may be a shock, but it=92s no surprise that Soundgarden is breaking u= p after 12 years. That=92s a long time in rock years and pretty much an ideal for the most creative bands. Led Zeppelin lasted 12 years. Even though they ended because of drummer John Bonham=92s death, their hearts= just weren=92t in it anymore. By stepping away when happy and healthy, the members of Soundgarden are taking responsibility for a collective past and an individual future. Most of my friends - girlfriends especially - could never understand why I like Soundgarden so much. It all sounded like so much noise - too loud, too hard, too oppressive, too full of bluster for someone with sensible cool to care about. Soundgarden was the music you listened to in high school, and, man, why would you even want to go there anyway? I never tried to explain, same as I never tried to explain a comparable joy I found in Led Zep, the Soundgarden of the =9170s. It=92s like when= Ella Fitzgerald was once asked to justify her music: "If you don=92t know, I can=92t tell you." Soundgarden shook up popular music in the 1990s, first from its fringe and then from its very heart. Beginning in clubland and on after their appearance on the Deep Six compilation in 1985, their rock put a rattle in your head without rattling your brain. "Nothing to Say," "Get on the Snake," "Big Dumb Sex," "Outshined," "Jesus Christ Pose," "Like Suicide"; these were ambitious songs that allowed plenty of room for elaborate jamming. Then came "Black Hole Sun" on 1994=92s Superunknown,= and the name Soundgarden was spoken with reverence by the masses. A lot has been made of Soundgarden=92s rise from the grunge trenches whe= n Seattle blasted into pop culture orbit seven or eight years ago. The band did help spawn the scene that ultimately made their clout with the media so honorable (Screaming Life, their 1987 debut EP, was one of Sub Pop=92s first releases). But Soundgarden also showed fierce musical independence. Theirs was a sound that insisted on reinventing the proto-punk legacy of Black Sabbath, Mountain, Grand Funk, Led Zep. The soggy guitars and pummeling riffs were there, but there was a new sense of melody and finesse besides. It was neoclassic rock, and they continued to refine this original style with every album. Soundgarden was the biggest thing to emerge from Seattle=92s biggest renaissance; bigger than Screaming Trees, more enduring than Candlebox, more representative than Pearl Jam=92s bland genre rock, and achieving even greater mythic status than the supernova of Nirvana. They were smart, they worked really hard whether in the studio or on a progressively busier touring schedule. In spite of the sultry image, their no-bullshit attitude gained the band respect across all quarters of their business. Even Johnny Cash paid homage by covering "Rusty Cage," which was on his own career-capping album, Unchained. Dark, somber, and intense as it was, Soundgarden=92s music was also undeniably uplifting. This was music for getting high in a field of midsummer sunshine, music for cranking into the night while a TV silently blared shadows across the semi-circular haze of a bong-a thon. Stoner music, to be sure, but nimbly able to elicit an essential stoner attitude, even for those who never smoked dope. I fell hardest for Soundgarden after they played the Coliseum at Bumbershoot, 1990. As the grandiose fanfare of "Hands All Over=92 rippled through daylight darkness in that cavern, a hook jerked and I saw them pretty much for the first time. They were already an arena band, even though it took a couple of years for the rest of the world to realize it. This was Soundgarden: strong, true guitars, thundering bass, a tidal wave of drums and thrilling vocals that put a spin and a chill on every line. It was an experience I wished I=92d had about 15 years earlier for the way it woke me up to the real meaning of the word "classic" as used to describe rock. It=92s appropriate that Soundgarden are ending on the laurels of last year=92s Down on the Upside. Except for a few MTV favorites ("Pretty Noose," "Burden In My Hand"), a lot of people were thrown by the album=92s stark return to heaviness. Chris Cornell was still singing sexy and high, Kim Thayil ground the chords with extra vengeance, Matt Cameron busted his hi-hat biceps, and Ben Shepherd trounced all over his bass, but it was too much of a divergence for too many. Better to say goodbye on such an honest note than drift apart. Soundgarden will always represent the epitome of neoclassic rock. Their terminus merely is the beginning of a new phase in influence.

"con mucho gusto" that means "with much luck" (and i'm sure most of you knew that) and with much luck, they are all surviving on their own and will do their own things. they did so damn much together, how could we really expect anything more from them? they gave *everything* they had in them to the music they created as Soundgarden. i won't forget that ever. i've got a tattoo to remind me forever. (yes, i *am* crazy, but it's slightly old now) so thanks again to matt, and thanks to the man who wrote one true article about Soundgarden in the big pile of horseshit we've gotten from the press lately.

I've always been appreciative for it and the information it was given me and the really cool people on here, but does anyone find that sense SG broke up, you like this list more? It has more meaning and importance. I just enjoy reading the posts more. I enjoy getting the digest. I don't dread it now when it's incredibly long. I've always loved it, but there's something new that I'm feeling here. I get the same feeling when I listen to SG's music now. I feel it deep in my mind and heart. I can't really describe what the feeling is. It's not one particular emotion, it's a combination of alot of different emotions I can't recall ever feeling before. It's like I'm hearing things I've never heard before. Images appear in my head that I've never seen before when I listen to their music. It's like I'm hearing every one of their records for the first time. It's like the high you get when you listen to something new and fresh by a new band. Imagine yourself at the Ditto Tavern before SG was so popular. There's these guys with long hair onstage playing music they believe in and the singer's got a wail that could bring The Devil Himself to his knees. You've got a really cool guitar solo. Everything is so overwhelming that you forget your surroundings. You lose yourself in the music, the voice, and the images. You completely escape to another world where everything is in your power. You hear the lyrics and it's like you wrote them. You completely relate to them. You feel them. You understand them. You love them. You want more. You have to have everything by this band, this band that coaxes all of these feelings you didn't know you had out of you. So you can see yourself. You can see the beauty. You can see the life. You can live your life. You can create. You meet all of these people who have the same thoughts and opinions about this same band that you do. You're all connected by this one band, but it's not just any band. It's Soundgarden. The name says it all. It's Soundgarden. It thrives and it lives in every single one of us. As long as we acknowledge, appreciate, and love the music they have given us, it will never die. Music never dies anyway, but it can go into a coma-like state. People forget. They ignore. The music fades. Just because the men who collectively made up the entity known as Soundgarden have decided to pursue other interests doesn't mean it's ok to forget Soundgarden. Soundgarden lives in all of us and it lives in Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, and Matt Cameron. It's a part of their lives as much as ours. Soundgarden is. May Soundgarden be with you.

At the following url, http://www.muchmusic.com/events/schick/ on muchmusic's website, you can vote for which looks better: Chris Cornell's "stylish facial hair" or Gavin Rossdale's clean shaven look. It's sponsored by a razor company. So go vote for Chris's fuzzies or something. It's rumoured that nexts week is Seth's Frank Zappa look vs. Ben Shepherd's five o'clock shadow.

It's 12:30 in the morning , and I need something to do, so I wanted to vote... anyways.) :) ------------------------------ From: java4u@sos.net Subject: Re: Temple of the dog name Temple of the Dog was taken from mother love bone's "man of golden words".
