Re: Soundgarden Digest, Friday, 25 Apr 1997 Read me!!!!!! URL ------------------------------------------------------------ From: "Nicolas" Subject: re : Chris IS Soundgarden Hi all, I just read in a former Post that a lot of people seems to believe that Chris alone IS Soundgarden and that the 3 other bandmates didn't contribute in the wonderfull experience that *Soundgarden* became. I even read that Ben, Matt and Kim aren't even playing on stage... My first reaction while reading that was to laugh... I won't yell at anybody or insult the ones who said that or even think that, I just want to share my opinion about that : To me, Chris is the one who contributed the most in what this band became, because he writes most of the songs and almost all the lyrics. BUT, I am sure that the 3 other ones contributed much more than it seems. Indeed, Soundgarden wouldn't have became Soundgarden w/out such a good drummer as Matt, a good guitarist like Kim or bass gutarists like Hiro and Ben. Even if Chris writes a lot of songs, the way the 3 bandmates perform them makes the difference with another band who would play the same stuff. And let me remind you that without Kim Ben and Matt and Hiro, we would never be listening to such great songs as Limo wreck, applebite, superunknown, hands all over, jesus christ pose, slaves and bulldozers, zero chance, ty cobb, rhinosaur, power trip, new damage, dusty, fresh tendrils, Somewhere, head down, face pollution, I awake, no wrong no right, never the machine forever, half, never named, kickstand, my wave, room a 1000 years wide, mailman, swich opens, an unkind, get on the snake... WOULD YOU CALL IT SOUNDGARDEN W/OUT ALL THIS SONGS ???? ------------------------------ From: "wyn" Subject: SG Songs to the Theme of Power Ok well my brother has been hassling me for some poems or songs at least that have a theme of power and so of cause I went straight for the SG lyrics and came up with Never Named (which is more of a self-perceived lack of power but I don't think that matters) for him but he needs a few more so any suggestions. Yes I know Circle of power & Power Trip, but their satirical I think he wants something serious (well at least not ironic) and I think anything with expletives (or such connotations) is out or else he would already gone for Regurgitator's- G7 Dick Electro Boogie {by the way if you don't know the song the first line is: "If I were in the Third World. My ass'd be numb from the F#&*ing" also if your interested the chorus is quiet good "Thanks for the AID, you Traders enslave."} If anyone could help with that it would be most appreciated. ************Also must remind you all you must go to the Recovery site a place a few votes at the Hyperchart for us poor Aussies with no pay TV and can't get MTV.

I had suspected Shroom all along, but I didn't want to say anything. Actually, an unnamed inside source told me it was really Shroom's Sean Kinney page that did it! It was the last straw for Chris. First she calls him a hypocrite for taking his shirt off and then moaning when girlies drool; then she complains about his 'heroin whore' CK One look in Details...oh, and don't forget how she temporarily switched her allegiance to Ben after the Hater gig! Shroom, you are bad hootchie!

Kim, Ben and Matt ON SETH'S CONTENTS PAGE! Yes, Total Internet magazine has reviewed the site and given it three wine glasses out of five. I don't know if that's an indication of how intoxicating they found it or or how drunk you have to be to read it :-) - --------------------------------- "The Unofficial Soundgarden Homepage Want to know more about Soundgarden? Go here. Now. "As unofficial sites go, this is a goodie. In fact, as any sort of site goes, this is a goodie. Its professional quality anyway and matches - and indeed surpasses - the kind of quality we've got used to on a normal everyday official site. There are plenty of articles and so forth and enough for any fan to keep themeselves occupied for a considerable amount of time. There's even a search engine and a song of the month. "The song of the month is very interesting. It offers a lot of insight and imformation on just one particular song. For example, this month the song is Spoonman abd there's a lot of info on the song and loads of different (and partly exclusive) pictures. There are also sound clips and video clips! It must take up an outrageous amount of disk space (each mpeg is up to 7 megs in size, so you can imagine the bandwith this must be eating up.) Each month must take the Webmaster weeks to prepare. The poor guy must be some sort of fanatic - but all the same it's a very good effort." - --------------------------- Another sign that Soundgarden is seeping into the UK consciousness.... on Live TV channel today there was a Soundgarden question in the rock quiz. Something like "Soundgarden recently took a radical change of direction. What was it?" Mind you, this is nothing to be too proud of. Live TV is the kind of channel that shows topless darts; the weather is read by a dwarf bouncing on a trampoline... And the teams in the rock quiz were made up of Bon Jovi and Status Quo tribute bands. The By Jovies (I kid you not!) got the right answer which was they split up (sob) Hey, everyone knows Britain has the best tv in the world ;-) UKDeb ------------------------------ From: mrkn Subject: pigeonhed can you tell me why in the booklet of the full sentence there's a picture of the fa t TAD?

Subject: interview with karen cornell hi a friend of my bro is in seattle and he saw an interview with Chris Cornell`s mother so he e-mail me something that she sad: and she said something like: "They say he's a sex symbol... I used to change his dippers, so I can't think of him as a sex symbol, really..." he sad it was really cool - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------ BEWARE: You have just been e-mail from Matt Cameron You may Replay this mail to:stimpy1@netvision.net.il - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------ ------------------------------ From: mrl2@Lehigh.EDU (Hogun The Grim) Subject: Chris Needs More? Sommsters, To elaborate on the fact that Chris does not need to play more instruments. He was the original temple of the dog he played Drums, Bass, Rhythm and Lead guitars on the all the demo's for the songs on the album. Matt, Mike Mcreedy, Stone, and Jeff Ament came along later. He also played bass on Ultramega Ok on the song that Hiro Sang, Tower of Power I believe it's called. Plus he played the Rhodes Piano on Dotu. So I think he would be alright playing alone. Plus you know some of his seattle buddies will show up on any solo project he did. What I would really like to see is a acoustic solo project by Cornell. I love the way he played a melody over a rhythm on "Seasons" for those who don't know thats Chris playing the whole song on one guitar on that one. It's a little tricky matter of tuning the guitar right but it can be done. I do believe it's similar to how Ani Difranco plays bass lines under her melodies with one guitar also. Anyways I would just like to say that ClownWithBazooka has returned new Moniker same guy. So I would like to say hi to Jamie, Carolyn, Moondruid, -J, Seth, Steve, and whomsoever else I have exchanged mail with in the past, especially that lovely Shroom Girl...... sorry about the absence but I have been unbelieveably swamped with work the past few months. Anyways gotta break my rusty cages and run.

I called my sister (another SG fan) to tell her and she was just as pissed as I was and you probably are as well as others. Not one freaking SG album on the whole damn list. Not even Alice in Chains was on the freaking list. Superunknown sooooooooo belongs on that freaking list ya know. Talking to my sister, we came to the conclusion that Rolling Stone kinda sucks. I love Rolling Stone magazine , but I am beginning to questiob its value. Not putting SG on that list is like saying they never even freaking existed. Also, I have had a subscription from Rolling Stone for the last maybe 2 and 1/2 years and not one of them had SG on the cover!! Does anyone know when SG was last on the cover of Rolling Stone? Maybe I'll just stick with SPIN!! -kemi ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: Read me!!!!!! This is indirectly related to SG. I just got a brand new stereo today. A Magnavox. Reason 1) I need a decent Cd player. Reason 2) It'll be wonderful for recording SG material. Problem: It doesn't seem to be recording!! 2 tape decks and a CD player. When I got the stereo, I also got 2 Maxell tapes. They're CD tapes. (I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about.) I was going to tape some songs for my mother. So I put a CD in, I put a blank tape in the recording deck, I read my manual, followed all the instructions, I hit record, when the song was finished, I hit stop on the recorder. I rewinded it to hear it and there was nothing there!!! It used tape though! I have tried 3 times and still nothing!! Have I got a bad stereo??? Why is it using tape if it's not recording?? Do I need to take the stereo back?? Am I doing something wrong? I really need to know. I want so much to record stuff for other SOMMSters, but I want a stereo that records and this one was quite expensive!! I hope Seth doesn't get mad at me for posting this here, but you guys record alot and I want to know if anyone has had this problem before. If it's a bad stereo, I want to take it back as soon as possible and get another one. Please help me!!! May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: Rebekah Henderson Subject: URL A while back someone posted the URL for a KERRANG! interview with Chris. This interview is on Seth's page. It's the one where he, his friend Eric, and Morat are on the Eurostar somewhere in Europe. Anyway, I checked out the URL and it's some person's website I think. It had the interview there along with 3 pics. Chris plucking nose hairs, him smiling and carrying luggage, and him with a hilarious look on his face as he holds up a magazine with a dog on the cover. I'm not sure, but I think it was a dalmation. Does anybody have the URL for it? I wrote it down, but I can't find it now. This was a while back. I'd appreciate it. May Soundgarden be with you.
