So i wait till they show another pic od chris on the screen and the tv has my full attention... anyway MTV said he has a track he recorded with the members of another band (i think it was called 11) and the song (it was called sunflower or something like that) is going to be on a soundtrack for the movie great expectation (a remake of the charles dickens book). Along with chris cornell's track is one from the verve pipe, tori amos, and scott weilad with the dust brothers. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

The St. Louis post dispatch had this request in the paper about a month ago for interesting uses for duct tape, so I sent the story about when Henry Rollins asked Chris why he duct taped his shorts to his stomach. I WON HONORABLE MENTION! The word Soundgarden actually appeared in the paper because of me. I thought that was pretty cool, and just had to share. Rich !!!!JOIN MY METALLICA MAILING LIST!!!!NOW!!!!!

IMHO, the best "extra" songs are Toy Box (Flower), Cold Bitch (Spoonman) and Blind Dogs (Basketball Diaries). I like moody songs. :) Life Rules!

What did they add? I have never heard the original version of this song, only SG's version. Does anybody know? May Soundgarden be with you.

If I recall correctly the words are slightly modified to fit the music. Vikki found the original letter. I'll quote Vikki's post below. Geoff Subject: Into the Void (Sealth) Date: Thu, 16 Jan 1997 06:30:01 -0800 (PST) From: "V. Anselmo" To: somms@MIT.EDU I have a copy of the Northwest indian chief's (Sealth) speech that Chris used to create new lyrics to SG's cover of Into the Void. I edited the speech into one paragraph and put the applicable sentences in all caps. I also put the final CC lyrics into a paragraph format. If you weren't already astounded by CC's writing ability, read on and compare the original speech to what CC came up with. -Vikki :) THE SPEECH (EDITED) The Great Chief of Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. ...we will consider your offer. For we know that if we do not sell, the white man may come with guns and take our land. THE IDEA IS STRANGE TO US. IF WE DO NOT OWN THE FRESHNESS OF THE AIR AND THE SPRINKLE OF THE WATER, HOW CAN YOU BUY THEM?... WE KNOW THAT THE WHITE MAN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND OUR WAYS... FOR HE IS A STRANGER WHO COMES IN THE NIGHT AND TAKES FROM THE LAND WHATEVER HE NEEDS. THE EARTH IS NOT HIS BROTHER BUT HIS ENEMY AND WHEN HE HAS CONQUERED IT, HE MOVES ON, HE LEAVES HIS FATHER'S GRAVE BEHIND AND DOES NOT CARE... Even the white man, whose god walks and talks with him as friend to friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all, we shall see. ONE THING WE KNOW WHICH THE WHITE MAN MAY DISCOVER -- OUR GOD IS THE SAME GOD. The whites too shall pass, perhaps sooner than all other tribes. CONTINUE TO CONTAMINATE YOUR BED AND YOU WILL SOON SUFFOCATE IN YOUR OWN WASTE... And what is it to say goodbye to the swift pony and the hunt? The end of living and the beginning of survival... --------------- INTO THE VOID (SEALTH), lyrical arrangement and additions by CC How can you buy or sell the sky, or the warmth of the land, it's strange to us. We don't own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water. How can you buy them from us? The white man doesn't understand our ways, for he's a stranger who comes in the night and takes from the land just what he needs. He treats his brothers like his enemies. When it's completed he moves on. He leaves his father's grave and his birthright -- his birthright is forgotten. The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath. The white man won't notice the air he breathes like a man dying for many days. The whites must treat the beasts of his land as his brothers, not his enemies. Tell me what is man without the beasts. I'll bet he will die of loneliness. One thing we know that the white man will -- we know our god is the same god. You may think you wish to own him, own him as you wish to own our land, but he is the body of man and the earth is precious to him. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will suffocate in your waste. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 09:43:53 EST From: Saskia Becher Subject: thems r fightin words Hmmm fighting music eh? Well I kickbox for sport (heehee 6foot blonde female kickboxer cliche huh?) When I'm training I like to listen to Head Injury, Slaves & Bulldozers, Drawing Flies, Jesus Christ Pose, Never the Machine Forever, Ty Cobb, anything from BMF, the real rockin songs, you all know what I mean, they just have power and just make me wanna beat the stuffing out of the bag.

I know if I get married to someone they have to be found of SG and like the same kind of music I do. I know I'll never like someone that listens to pop music. Music and SG are just to important to me. I always get excited when I meet someone who's crazy about SG and I know my fellow SOMMSTERS do to judging by these SG moments and stories about their dentists. I thinks those stories are incredible and I really enjoy reading them. I envy those who have those kind of encounters because where I live I don't meet too many people that share the same feelings about SG or I havn't met them yet. I also like the accounts of people meeting SG. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Jul 1997 21:46:05 -0400 From: Leslie Campbell Subject: Re: Into the Void (too lazy to look this up on the site =) Hey y'all! Does anyone happen to know why SG chose to use this particular Sabbath song to put Chief Sealth's words to? Maybe because the original lyrics conveyed the same message of humans destroying the Earth. I think I just answered my own question. I've also heard that Ozzy was pretty pissed that they changed the lyrics...anyone know the validity of that? By the way, every SG fan should own the first 6 Sabbath albums =) Leslie Back on Earth the flame of life burns low Everywhere is misery and woe Pollution kills the air, the land and sea Man prepares to meet his destiny... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 14:14:16 EST From: Saskia Becher Subject: Badmotorfinger I was wondering if there is such a thing as a Badmotorfinger T-shirt.

I haven't shopped around for one, but the day I heard Soundgarden broke up, I saw a guy with a shirt with the Badmotorfinger wheel on it.

"Soundgarden and Guns 'N' Roses ended their tour on a cheeky note which caused more than a few raised eyebrows in the audience. As Soundgarden steamed into their hit single 'Big Dumb Sex', the G'N'R boys, Slash, Dizzy and Gilby, ran on stage wearing only towels and began dancing with inflatable dolls. Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell then pulled their towels off, revealing their totally naked bods! 'Hasn't Slash got a nice ass, or what?' Chris commented, sending the crowd into a screaming frenzy."
