Has anyone else out there in Australia seen the little promo they have on Rage for Rage (you know the usual thing a whole heap of people saying/screaming Rage!). But this one has various bands or artists in it doing the same and I'm sure I've seen Chris Cornell so does anyone know if he did program Rage and I missed it or do you think he would and they just have it somewhere down at the ABC. I just got reminded of this by Jackhammer's (John Grieves) post 25/4/97: >More importantly, does anybody know of Rage here in Australia putting >together a Soundgarden special some time in the future? It would seem >fitting at the closure of the band for them to play all Soundgarden videos >as a tribute to the band, and they certainly have done it for other bands... I also hope that they do a tribute as well. ************ Also must remind you all you must go to the Recovery site: http://www.abc.net.au/recovery/home.htm and place a few votes at the Hyperchart for us poor Aussies with no pay TV and can't get MTV.

I found out what the problem was. After I rewinded the tape to hear the song, I forgot to push the little lever to tape. :) I'm so silly! I am relieved though!!! As I was going through all of my computer/internet notes, I came across a URL that I believe is for the article with Chris and pics that I posted about. However, when I typed in the address to go there, it said it didn't have a DNS entry. The address I have is: http://www.brunel.ca.uk:8080/~hs94mjc/sg/articles.html There is another article there too, but I don't remember what it is. Does this address look familiar to anyone? Do I have it typed wrong? I evidently read those articles so I had to have the right address at some point in time. May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah BTW, I have one bad-ass stereo! It records really well. Sounds EXACTLY like a CD. Of course, the CD tapes help. :) ------------------------------ From: justin nicholls Subject: living with myself is hard enough...

I can't remember the exact date. back then , the artist/band would program roughly three hours of music clips. then the artist/band's clips would be played (keep in mind this is a music video show, non-australians). for soundgarden, it was different. saturday night came around and from the beginning it was chris and ben, chris doing the talking and ben doing the clowning. they played all of soundgarden's clips, interspersed with conversation with chris. obviously, the band didn't program videos by any other musicians. the entire interview transcript (most of the questions regard music video) is on sgi.net under 'miscellany'. as for future soundgarden features , I don't know. I had hoped the band had agreed to a second stint as programmers/featured artists while they were here during january and february, but I don't know that it will pan out. supergrass (who also played the big day out festival circuit) have already been featured, while no other bdo band has been on since. hopefully we'll see something, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm yet to see a band program rage twice. ----------------------------------------------- in your real life, treat it like it's special in your real life, try to be more kind in your real life, think of those that love you in this real life, try to be less blind words by vernon reid ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: CL Miller Subject: can i come out? is it over yet? whew. . . finally read through 10 digests. . .what a load! Thanks to Mr. Apple and Shroomy for the amusing little anecdotes. It's good to see some humor on the list of seemingly perpetual mourning. Thanks to Matt for your post to us. It really makes me feel "special" to know that you took time from your schedule to talk with us. Thanks again. To get to the heart of the matter. . .i am tired. . .tired of being upset. . .tired of wondering why Soundgarden broke up. . .tired of reading the endless speculations based on the factual foundation of a termite-ridden woodpile. I am sure that my sentiments are echoes throughout the list and Soundgardenland. I agree with Caryn 90% that Soundgarden owes us no apology and that the dirt digging should stop. If Soundgarden says that the split was amicable, then so be it. Who are we to say that they are lying? If you think that they are lying, then why would you bother to believe any word or lyric that they have read or sung in the past. Soundgarden has no NEED to lie to us or to anyone. They do not need to get anyone's approval. . .true fans give it to them unconditionally. As for the other 10%, that is my selfish little ego that still nags me with THE question. Why? But the percentage is decreasing with every article and ranting speculation I read. The more theories and quote ". . .an unnamed source said. . ." unquote that I read, the more ludicrous the whole media circus appears. Can't all of you see it? The press are like vultures (My apologies to any member of the press on the list) and will do whatever they can to garner attention to their rag. Reading the post-listings of articles that offer endless ideas on why they broke up e.g. "It's Ben's fault", "It's the whole band's fault", or "It's Richard Simmons' fault" makes me sick to my gullet. Duh! Everyone KNOWS that it's all Shroomy's fault! ;) p.s. Hey Shroomy, were Chris and Matt wearing undies under their grass skirts? ;) The point is (and I'm sure that there is one) is that. . .LET'S MOVE ON! Let's all talk about the immense existing body of work that some members hold near and dear to their hearts and some members have yet to explore. If you see a song listed that you don't know, somehow get hold of it. Bring your opinions and ideas to the list to further enrich our own perspectives. (God, I sound like my Philosophy syllibus!) By the way, (and not of Soundgarden), don't forget to watch Ellen's coming out on Wednesday at 9 p.m. <> Love you all, Chris - -- Check out the newest album by INDIGO GIRLS - SHAMING OF THE SUN! Also presently on college tour and on full band tour this summer!

Therefore I would imagine that he can play I don't want to be overly nit-picky, so I'll make this short. karen, you are absolutely correct in saying that chris can play a number of different instruments. but when he wrote soundgarden songs, I don't think he wrote the music for bass, drums and lead guitar. at least, not in an authoritarian, iron-fisted manner, but more as guide to each individual as to how he imagined the part. in essence, he would *demo* songs for the band by himself, which would mutate once in the hands of all four musicians. I know that the distinction may be slight, but arrangement (vs. the original demo-ing) of soundgarden music was always a democratic process. I believe that was true to a large degree for all four instruments; specifically colour or lead guitar parts were left almost entirely to kim, as were drum fills to matt (as long as they kept with the overall feel of the song itself). hopefully I didn't just say exactly what you already knew. if so, well...I'm no stranger to having my foot in my mouth these days. ----------------------------------------------- in your real life, treat it like it's special in your real life, try to be more kind in your real life, think of those that love you in this real life, try to be less blind words by vernon reid ---------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ From: sanity@pop.box.net.au Subject: Equals!! Hi, I haven't posted for a while,and i've been away aswell :) anyway I'd just like to say that all the members of SG contribute just as much as each other.If it weren't for Kim or Ben Chris wouldn't be able to Play Guitar or Bass and if it weren't for Matt not only would Chris have to play drums but everyone would be out of time :) So how can Chris be Soundgarden ? you can't make great songs without other ppl to help you. As if Chris would play everything , I think SG would have broken up ages ago if this where true. Also about Recovery hehe I was with those ppl who voted for The Tea Party , Make sure you vote as many times as possible (it works :} ) bye Trent p.s. It be kool if Chris and Kim joined Hater :) http://www.satech.net.au/~sanity/tabs.htm http://www.satech.net.au/~sanity/pearljam.htm - ---------------------------------------------- See how this world is divine -The Tea Party ------------------------------ End of somms Digest [Volume 3 Issue 104] ****************************************
