I noticed this too. At certain points during the show he WAS playing left handed. I kind of dismissed it thinking it was probably just me seeing things. And he did seem to do a lot of interviews backstage there... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 10:11:48 -0500 From: Tamara Easter Subject: Hit Parader (sorry to burst your bubble) Id love it as well if Soundgarden got back together to do an album next year, but from my experiences with reading that magazine, Hit Parader is VERY VERY out dated. I mean PAINFULLY out dated. I remember an instance where a while back I picked up the latest copy off the shelves at the drug store and I read an article that mentioned Kurt Cobain and the overdose he had in Rome (was it Rome?) It said that Kurt was alive and doing well and dealing with his drug habit. Mind you, at the time I was reading this, Kurt had been in his grave for a few months. And thats not the only example Ive seen of Hit Paraders "sluggish journalism" (???), but it's the most vivid one that comes to mind. And I'm not making this up, why would I make it up? I'm a Soundgarden fan and I wouldnt mind having a new SG album. Of course, it could be true, but considering the source I wouldnt count on it. :( ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 10:33:08 -0400 From: Leslie Campbell Subject: Re: ATTENTION.... PLEASE READ.... IS SOUNDGARDRN STILL SECRETLY Hey y'all, I'm sure alot of you already know this, but for those of you who don't, I'll fill you in. We former headbangers who used to read that mag years ago know that sHit Parader is just that: full of shit. They are notorious for making up their interviews and touting them as facts. Sorry to disappoint you, but I think we all know that this idea is as ridiculous as 2Pac staging his death.

In English: happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear christopher j cornell, happy birthday to you!!!!!!!!!! En espanol: feliz cumpliano a ti, feliz cumpliano a ti, feliz cumpliano a christopher j cornell, feliz cumpliano a ti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter what language it's in... HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS (THE WONDERFUL) CORNELL!!!! I wove wou, -Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 11:25:17 -0400 From: Matt Artis Subject: Im back!!! Woohoo!!! I'm finally back from a week of family vacation hell in Branson (the country music capital of the world!!!). Anyway, while I was there I had a lot of time to think during those shitty country shows. I think I have finally figured why Superunknown stands out so much among the other CD's- its the drums!!!!!!! I say this as a guitar player too. Many people say that certain songs just "take them away." Head Down is the song that does that for me. So I sat down and listened to it closely, and I noticed that those soft symbol crashes that are going through the verses have a tendancy to loll me to sleep. Also the snare in that song is coo with all that off beat stuff. Superunknown is another drum song. Think about what the driving force in the chorus is. I think it is the drums going off on every beat. Just listen, you'll hear it. All through the album you can hear great drum songs if you listen closely. Great job Matt! (Boy I have a great namesake!) Oh yeah, that reminds me of another pointless coincidence. I am named Matt, my little bro is Ben, and my mom is Kim! Wow, huh? Sorry, no Chris. :) ~Matt (lead guitarist of Phage) P.S.- You know that you're obcessed w/ Soundgarden when you are at a country music show in Branson and all you can think about is how coo it would be if SG jumped up on stage, kicked all of the country guys asses, and decided to start their reunion tour right there. hehehehehe ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 09:29:50 -0700 From: caryn rose Subject: old news stories... i'm sure someone else has already said this, but the likes of Hit Parader and Circus are NOT reliable sources of information. they never have been. they have always been the national enquirers of the rock world. i just don't want to see people get their hopes up for nothing. --caryn ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 12:34:09 -0400 From: Lyndsay Smith Subject: Re: the satanic conspiracy I read somewhere that when Chris gets on stage he's in a world of his own. Maybe that's the difference you are talking about. Sometimes after playing a show the performers go and change clothes too. He could play left handed and right handed but in MY WAVE I think you have to use both hands on the fretboard. I don't know .... just a thought or two. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 20 Jul 1997 01:25:30 +0300 From: Stimpy Subject: Re: ATTENTION.... PLEASE READ....

An INTERVIEW Cd. I am not sure if it is the one that is being talked about. It is selling for $ 17.99 2. BADMOTORFINGER WOODEN BOX. Does anyone know anything about this? It is selling for $ 125.99 so it must be pretty rare! I think it said it was an import from Germany. Please respond!

Superunknown on clear vinyl or gold vinyl? Any idea how many were pressed? Are they worth $15 bucks each (plus $3 for shipping) This guy is also selling Superunknown on 'colored' vinyl for $20. Is that worth it?
