It will be easy for the other students to see >what is so beautiful about Mind Riot. (can you tell how much I like >MR?);-) I could not have said it better myself!!!! Mind Riot is my favorite soundgarden song and is definitely the choice i would make. i love the ending with "I'm tied within/I'm luck's last match struck/in the pouring downwind". that is one of my favorite lines from anything anywhere. even just the "I'm tied within" part and the desperation that chris sings it with... my god... amazing... but i digress. if this was a Mind Riot gushing list i could go on for hours. ok, thats just my two cents. keep gardening, --LocoJoe ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 13:55:26 GMT From: sabrina Subject: Happy b-day to the drummer Forgot to post this yesterday, but after marveling at the way ATN managed to screw up, I caught this on People Online, under "Today's birthdays"... ---------------------------------------------- JULY 20 A grungy birthday Soundgarden drummer CHRIS CORNELL 33 ----------------------------------------------- I know it might hurt to say "former" or "ex"- Soundgarden... but drummer?? If I'm not mistaken, Chris was their drummer over 10 years ago... sabrina ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 10:07:34 -0400 From: Lance Huber Subject: Re: POEMS In a message dated 7/22/97 2:20:39 AM, Scully.Electrical@xtra.co.nz (John Scully) wrote: <> My personal choices would be Searching With My Good Eye Closed or Zero Chance. Chris uses some extremely powerful imagery. But Holy Water and Seasons have some definitive messages and powerful metaphors. When it comes to which SG song to read as a poem, it's tough, because Chris is so fucking powerful in his writing style. All you "old-school" SOMMSters already know my opinions on that one!

Okay people here is a story you can chew on. And before I go any further please note this is not up for debate and I don't need people coming down on me for telling my story. I'm not spreading rumors or trying to fabricate lies. This happen to me last night and I'm simply passing it on to the list as a "Can You Believe THIS".... Stacy and I went to a concert last night at the 9:30 club. Side note: we saw REEF and got to meet the band - great show! As we were standing in line to go in, I spied a 9:30 staff member sporting a Badmotorfinger tattoo on his upper arm. Of course I had to go over and talk with him. He is not a member of this list (but was a member of a AiC/Soundgarden list a long time ago). We talked SG and at one point he said that most of the concert he has seen with SG he always got the feeling that the band was not a friendly group to fans and such. I informed him that I had met the band in Chicago and they couldn't have been nicer to us. He said that was great and that he had met (HOLD ON HERE IS THE STRANGE PART) Chris's ex wife and daughter!!!!! Seems at one point in time he lived in the same neighborhood as this ex wife and his daughter and Chris's daughter played together. He said he found this out when the little girl saw his tattoo and ask if it was for SG. When he said yes she told him "Oh that's the band my daddy plays in".. When he asked her who her daddy was she said Chris Cornell.. At this time Reef showed up and I had to cut the conversation. I wanted to ask him if he didn't mean Ben (since we do know Ben has a daughter), but didn't get to.. So your guess is a good as mine. Was he telling a story (he didn't seem like the type) or was it just a slip of the tongue and he really was talking about Ben???? In any case it was nice to see someone who really had the Badmotorfinger tattoo.

I don't know if he's anything else, but I know that he's atleast part Irish. Peace, love, and SG.

HOWDY SOMMSERS! i don't think this has ever been up for conversation...but...What is the strangest thing any of you have seen at a Soundgarden concert? i'll start off... the first (& so far only) concert i went too was a soundgard en show;9-12-96(anyone w/ a boot of this show out there?). it kicked more ass than you could shake a stick at. anyway... after the final encore everyis messin' w/ feedback & whatnot...then chris (who'd had alot of coffee that night) puts his woodgrain Telecaster on the stage & starts pissin' on it!! the guitar was making all sorts of unearthly noises. anyway... the lights went up and people started filing out of the pit around me and SG left the stage feedback wailing. wild. charlie ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 16:52:55 -0500 From: Geoff Subject: Re: UH WHENS SETH GONNA BE BACK Seth will be back in about 2 weeks.

They even got a cake with his head air brushed (to that effect any way). A day after chris' b-day (monday) i went to best buy and of course I looked under sg for anything new... and i found the bmf wooden box thing for $57! I didn't get it but it said it was "113 out of 1000"... I guess that's pretty special! I shouldv'e got it, -Rachel ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 18:43:23 -0400 From: Deb Servey Subject: Strangest thing--FIRST POST....

He owes Kelly and Rachel and I some cds and has mysteriously disappeared off the face of the planet. Skye if you are out there write me soon. Or if anyone knows of his wereabouts let me know.

The blurb is listed under Hard Rock Happenings. The title is Garden Power. Has anyone seen the report? If so, please post.

OK, I post way too much so I'm gonna reform to posting only once per day 'cause I know I'm clogging up peoples mail boxes. Hey I got a great one for that "new thread" I live in St. Louis, as many of you know, and Missouri is the Show Me State (stupid I know, sounds like an indecency capital) so Show Me should be the state song. <> Being the ultimate slacker I am I would recommend doing a song that you already know all the words and their order to. If you want something cool or that the teacher would like, I recommend Toy Box, 4th, Bleed Together or how about One Minute of Silence :-) I do have to dissagree with Lance about reciting Holy Water. I think its good an all, but I doubt authority would approve of the "As your raped by another monkey circus freak" line. Just a thought. I still need more SOMMSters URLs, (thanx to everyone who already sent one) but I now have 3 cool polls on my page, one of which is an SG poll. Go vote because I'm only collecting 100 votes and then I change the poll. Rich SIGN UP FOR MY NEW METALLICA MAILING LIST!!!

Hearing Chris mumble lyrics to "Hey Jude" through a megaphone during the intro to "Beyond the Wheel" for the very first time. Looking back...that was totally cool...at the time...i was like..huh? 2. Following that song with a version of Body Count's "Cop Killer". Again...while totally cool...it was strange at the time since I had no idea it was coming. Hmmm...the more i think about it...it was just plain cool ;-) 3. Seeing Chris sans hair 4. Seeing Ben smile for an entire song. 5. Chris smashing his guitar during Slaves.. and waving the neck like a sword and my favorite thing... seeing the silhouette of CC fall flat on his face trying to jump on top of a speaker stand in the pitch blackness of Varsity Arena right before the first encore. steve - heavy rotation - Orbital - "The Saint", "The Sinner", Radiohead - "Electioneering", Swervedriver - _99th Dream_ and Oasis - "D'Ya Know What I Mean?" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Jul 1997 23:06:03 -0400 From: Chris Farley Subject: Re: UH WHENS SETH GONNA BE BACK 25% of the American population claim Irish decendancy so the odds are pretty good that he is Irish.
