It's no big deal; just the single w/no other song. I did notice it had "edit" at the end of the song title so maybe it is different to the one that appears on DOTU (haven't checked discography). I usually forget to tell you guys when I see a SG thing in a record store that I won't buy, but having just got back from there (it's 4.00pm Tues as I write this) I'm pretty sure it'll still be there. I am amazed that even after going to Au-go-go Records since 1991, aged 14 - seeing Mudhoney instore, I have never noticed that there is a signed SG pic on the wall in there. It's on the back wall downstairs, near the new release vinyl..check it out if you haven't seen it :) Fiona ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 02:44:15 EDT From: seth Subject: Your favorite bands (was Re: Arrgh!!) Lists of your favorite bands or even detailed discussions of one favorite band are NOT Soundgarden-related unless your favorite band is Soundgarden. Thus, if the name of your favorite band or bands is not Soundgarden, you should not post about it on this mailing list. -seth listadmin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 03:06:28 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: Re: How Long Will It Last?...

It's 3:00a.m. here I'm not sure if this question has been asked yet by anyway, but I wanna do this "JFK" thing the SOundgarden way: 1) So, what was everyone doing when they heard the news of Soundgarden breaking up :( 2) Where did they hear it from? 3) What was your first reaction (or action) once you heard the news? 4) Did anyone do anything "special" or whatever to mourn our great lost? Here are my answers: 1) I was doing homework and I had the television on (of course) and I was just hanging out in the living room concentrating on my work. I had had a pretty good day before I heard. 2) I heard it on the MTV News brief. U know, that thing that comes on every 10 minutes before the next hour. Well, "since I am the age I am", I watch MTV nonstop. My only reason is because I like music and I don't feel like changing the radio stations every 3 minutes, so I watch (listen) to MTV, plus I await SG news, songs, etc.. in which I never hear.. except when they.. they.. broke.. up {sobbing}.. 3) Actually, my first reaction to this "late-breaking" flick (along with a few other people I spoke to about it), was to cry. That's exactly what I did.. Actually that would be a lie. The first action I did was run to the tv. The second action I took was to turn the tv way up as if my hearing aid was broken again. The third action I did was I made this blank face as if I just found out that after 14 years of a kewl life I was really a guy.. (u know how that'd feel, if your 'rents dressed u as one sex for a long time and then all of a sudden you find out you were really "someone else".. nevermind..). Fourth, after all that pain and torture of having to sit there and listen and accept it, I cried.. for a very very very long time.. Hey, what can i say? It's Soundgarden they were speaking of! And I was kinda hoping that it was, like, a joke or something because I really didn't want to except that.. you know, go to school the next day all flush with grief and stuff, but if that were some MTV prank then that wouldn't be good for MTV and the media because i know a few SOMMSters that will grab their SG cd's and cassettes, pop in Ty Cobb, etc, and start heading the street on foot going after these popparazzied (spelling?) prima donnas and start beating the shit out of them (sorry again mom and dad.. does this mean no soundgarden tatoo on my ass now?.. oops.. i guess not, I said ass.. oops.... damn! where's that hotline number? oh shit! i cannot control myself.. ahh!!!) 4) What I did after that was just sit back by myself in my room.. I made it quiet and I shut the door and had the lights off and listened to SG songs all night.. But about 5 to 10 minutes after I heard the sadness, my friend called me up to give her gratitude and I was shocked that she did that and she explained to me that she'd feel horrible also if her fave band split (her fave band is Bush). I made a few phone calls and besides a few people called me and I had been crying so... it was difficult... So I barely ate and talked.. I was really upset. Not really pissed though, just really upset.. MTV showed highlights of their career but it pissed me off that about a few days after the split it was like they didn't even care anymore! And I don't remember anything about Soundgarden having a Rockumentary on MTV.. I understand y no Unplugged, but.. anyway.. I tried to sleep (and it wasn't that hard since I had cried) and I woke up and I put on my black slacks, black/white-soled Vans, Black DOTU t-shirt, and went to school.. When I arrived people showed their gratitude..And the funny thing is that a friend of mine also came to school in all black. and he likes SG too.. so in homeroom he confronts me about it sweetly and he approaches me carefully because he know how much SG means to me.. and to him so that was kewl.. and the setting was weird because we were the only two wearing all black and I told him that i was because i was mourning and he said he was too.. after that.. I awaited the News to be broadcasted on MTV News Friday so I can officially tape it and put it on my SG tape.. I watched what I had of that tape over and ove and over again.. so sad.. But to me it hasn't seen like they split a while ago.. it seems just like yesterday and i hate that feeling. It sucks when stuff like that happens.. And just to add: I am very happy that I joined SOMMS because you people are just too motherfucking nice! (sorry mom) Thanx for reading all my extremely long once-in-a-while e-mails.. That's so fucking sweet of ya's (sorry dad). I must go now because all this emotion is making me get all stuffy... {sniff} Kick Ass.... -Maria, 14, and I am a Soundgardenaholic (Note to self: Get 'rents to extend therapy sessions.)

Having read the posts and the various bits of info on this web-site i have seen that there are various bootlegs of live material. Having gone to a concert this year i would like to hear more live stuff. Living in Brisbane , Australia i have found trouble finding anything live. Another thing too. When Soundgarden went on the lolopolooza (sp?) tour they had a band called You Am I with them. Just wondering what people might think of them? I've read that Soundgarden liked having them around or something, and Kim thought they were pretty good or something. You Am I are Australian. :) James See ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 05:23:28 -0700 From: "V. Anselmo" Subject: Re: Have you met them?

Not knowing exaxctly how Sgarden works/ed as a band, I'm going to put in my plug for this reply as well. It's always been my understanding that whoever wrote the major part of the song gets credit for it, or in some bands when more than one person is creditied, it's in descending order of contributions to the writing. I have a friend who has been in 2 major bands, he's a songwriter himself, and this is what he has told me. Solos aren't written, at least not the major wailers some bands pull off. They just happen...as in they aren't really planned upon recording. Does any of this make sense?

Kinser" Subject: Re: How Long Will It Last?... Well, I'm 27 (OK I'll be 28 on Friday) and I don't think there is any age when you will stop liking a certain kind of music. I listened to A LOT of so called "Hair Metal" back in the eighties and even though I don't buy it right now, I still listen to the stuff I have and still love it. I find it strange that people or bands would be more oriented to a younger audience. Hell, us older people typically have Full-time, well paying jobs. We have the money to buy the albums, shirts, tickets etc. I know some friends of my little sister who had to scrape up enough cash for an Ozzfest ticket and then had nothing left over for a shirt, gas, food or anything. My girlfriend and I bought the most expensive tickets we could get, got a great hotel room, rented a new Ford Explorer to go to the show, and bought about $100.00 in shirts, programs, beer, etc. I know the audience I'd rather have. I'm not trying to say that having a little extra cash makes one a better fan, but I know that when I was 14 or 15, I hardly ever bought my music. I usually dubbed it off of friends cause it was cheaper. And now that I make good money, I don't mind shelling out for the extra singles or little things to make my listening experiences more full. But then again that's just where I stand. BK ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 11:56:13 -0400 From: Robbie Strickland Subject: Re: Arghh!

I was on The Nexus, a local chat board/ISP (whose last day of operation is Friday..this year sucks) when someone named Achilles told me. He said, "Didja hear about Soundgarden?" and I'm all "No, what about them?" cuz I never watch TV or listen to the radio or anything..and he said "They broke up today." I'm just like "yeah right, kid." I've had so many Chris Cornell got shot/Soundgarden broke up/Soundgarden went down in a plane in the Rocky Mountain stories told to me that I didn't believe him at all. But he insisted it was the truth, and I know the kid well enough to know he wouldn't joke about that. So I went right over to www.sgi.net/soundgarden and found it was true. I was shocked. Other than that, I didn't react to it nearly as severely as I should have...I dunno why, other than the fact that just before the breakup I'd started to get into other bands, like Ben Folds Five, who are my favorite now, and I've even taken a big risk and lied to my dad and driven my piece of shit car to New York City to see them play for an hour. (Word to the wise, if you ever plan on driving to NYC, DON'T, unless you have some weird hatred for your car and your life, plan on some other better method of transportation. I'm from Albany and I never thought I'd see traffic like thatin my life.) And once it happened I think everyone was hellbent on getting the news to me first. "Did you hear Soundgarden broke up?" YES, FOR CHRISSAKE! I'VE ONLY BEEN LISTENING TO THEM FOR FIVE YEARS AND I THINK I'D FIND OUT ABOUT IT PRETTY SOON AFTER IT HAPPENED!!!! :) That's the thing, too. I've been listening to them for five years...that's a long time to be so devoted to somthing :> They helped me through a LOT of shit, and listening to them now is still very...ah, I don't know how to describe it but I'm sure if anyone is still reading this :) they know what I'm talking about. BTW for anyone that needs my e-mail addie, I used to be excandescent@thenexus.com, but obviously I can't use that address any more, so I'm using this one.

"hot. surreal, you know?" and that's the same as mine. my very first reaction was staring at the screen like i'd never been in front of a computer before and whimper out "no...no..." then i felt that tears-coming-up feeling and almost screamed. i left the computer and knocked down the chair and called my friend alana, who had found out before me and called to tell me, but i was at the dentist. it's a damn good thing she didn't tell me. i'm glad i heard it from the list rather than kurt loder or my friends or whatever. then i called blake. then i called jen. then i called megan...megan went to see SG with me, she's also a huge fan. we sat and stared at Mtv until that little bulletin came across the bottom of the screen. when we got off the phone, both of us crying like idiots... i still watched. i got mad. i kicked things, beds, tables... i screamed incessantly at the TV when it read across that little "soundgarden has decided to...." like my best friend had died. i had been listening to the Hype! soundtrack at the time, and as i was on the phone with megan, "nothing to say" come on and i wanted to go break the damn CD. i was really really angry with them. i was so mad that the last thing that i loved in my life was now also going to leave me alone. (i have this horrible luck, if i love it- it leaves or dies or hates me.) so i totally freaked out. 4> i went in my room and tried to play BUTOW on my guitar and sing at the same time, something i did all the time. but i couldn't get the words out. i choked up, i cried on my guitar, i yelled at the walls, at all the pictures of SG staring back at me. most of all, i denied it. i mean, here they were on all my CD's and on my walls and on my videos... how could they be gone? i tried to watch my video of the Fairfax, VA show and cried halfway through the thrid song and had to turn it off. i wore all black to school the next day. nothing SG but my fork necklace. i cried, people hugged me, people also taunted me and laughed at me. one jerk announced the break up as loudly as possible while standing right behind me just cause he's a jerk who does things like that. people who didn't know the news were shocked when i told them. nobody knew except the few friends that i have that they had "disbanded." it was surreal. i was in a daze for the next week and occassionally still lapse into that state of denial. i made this little black sign for my bag (i've been called a human billboard due to all my SG signs for birthdays, concerts, album things, ect.) that said "the day the music died... april 9, 1997...chris, kim, matt, ben- you will be greatly missed." (credit List Thugg with the line "the day the music died.") i wore that sign on that bag of mine for a week, and only took it down because i was sick of people asking how long i was going to wear it. i even had my english teacher ask me the day after it happened, "what happened to your SG, niki?" people asked me for the reason they broke up all week long, once the news circulated good. as if i had all the answers. but i was so angry. i tried to not listen to them, but i need their music daily to basically stay sane. it was awful. me, the woman of many many words could not even write a good post to the list about my feelings. all i could do was sit and read everyone elses and cry and cry and sob and cry and get yelled at by parents to "get a grip." and cry anc cry... people told me i shouldn't be angry about it, that i couldn't expect them to be together forever, that i should be happy they broke up before their musical took the brunt of their unhappiness... eventually i calmed down and realized they were right, but i still get mad. even after the calming effect of Matt Cameron's post to the list through Seth, i still got somewhat mad. but his post helped me a lot. the fact that none of them would comment to the press in any way, but matt cameron talked to us, the Sommsters, the SG mailing list, the real people who really cared... it was just this overwhelming feeling of calm. Matt, in effect, helped me get over it faster than i had thought i would... so thanks a whole bunch mattster... sorry so long! mind riot ____ i was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 16:28:23 -0500 From: NIKI FREER Subject: Assorted Musings Hey sommsters, ever notice these things? (sorry this is post #3, boredom has taken control of my mind after cleaning my room all day long) If you have the vinyl edition of UM OK (which i just adore for some odd reason) you'll notice all the nice big pictures on the back or each member. At the very very bottom left hand corner of Matt's picture, above where it says SST in orange, there's a bunch of notes written in red writing. I just think it's funny that they have their fan club address change listed on the *outside* of the package, but then again on the insert. And, the whole photo credit ordeal. No listing for back cover photos at all in the vinyl issue. But look in the CD issue and it's got this: "Back Cover Photo of Chris: Gardener(apoligies)" and this strikes me as strange due to the fact that there are no back cover pics on the CD version and no other credit is given for the back photos of Matt, Kim, and Hiro... just odd to me. If you have the vinyl issue of Screaming Life, check out the silly way they tell you who is who. "Chris Cornell: vocals/Hiro Yamamoto: bass/Matthew Cameron: bonus tubs/Kim Thayil: gut wire." just struck me as funny, cause this is the first time i noticed it. The bottom right hand corner of my DOTU vinyl (yes, i was looking at my vinyl today...) is purple. I'm sure it's just the picture, but it was just odd when i noticed this. I think i remember this being discussed waaaaaay back when the album first came out, so i'll say no more. In SINGLES, when CC comes down to watch Matt Dillon break Bridget Fonda's car stereo speakers, check out his waist. I always thought he had on a belt and his shirt tucked into his jeans, but no! he has on a fanny pack! much like the one Kimbo was seen attached to often! = ) yes, this is the first time i noticed this after seeing the movie countless times and i still think it's matt cameron in the crowd during BR. = ) and that's all from me today (hopefully). mind riot ____ i was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 13:31:39 -0700 From: Dave Subject: Re: Assorted Musings My cousin's UMOK vinly has this etched into it "I wont to live like James Bond" I want to die like James Dean", any one elses say that?

I 'm a dancer so I was at this seminar and at lunch I got out my walkman and I started to listen to SG. This girl asked me what I was listening to and I told her. She made this face like "yuck". I just kind of ignored it like she doesn't even know what she's missing, because she likes that pop music like "Men in Black" that you only hear for a while and then it fades away. Then I find out that she thought I meant Savage Garden. That was even worse. I try not to judge things before I hear them or experience them like that. Most of the time I would be like "Fuck you" but that time I guess I was in a good mood. ANother thing I just remembered that I would liketo share. I guess its sort of a SG moment or something. I had this asshole of a teacher last year, he was famous for being that way, He was the football coach and a real sexist person. He did a lot of things that I wouldn't forgive him for, they weren't real serious but they made life harder. One day between classe I heard Holy Water being played somerwhere. It was coming from his class and I asked him if that was Badmotorfinger and he said it was. I was just singing along and it was heaven in school. I thought it was so cool. My friend said that still doesn't make up for what he's done. I was so astounded that I said it did for me. So later on I asked him to play it in class and he did. I thought that was pretty cool for a teacher like him. Another encouner w/ SG and a teacher was I had on my Kickstand t-shirt on and my teachers were like "cool shirt". I said to my English "its for the band Soundgarden". She said, " I know" she was a pretty cool teacher but I didn't expect her to know about them. That was really surprising to me.

I'm kind of curious about this recording and I don't have a whole lot of information on it, so I was wondering if anyone know anything about it and would be kind enough to share their knowledge with me. THe boot is called "Omega Paradise." It has a computer graphic of mountains on the front ("artwork and design by Cananda.") The set list for it is listed as Little Joe, Searching With My Good Eye Closed, Jesus Christ Pose, Room A Thousand Years Wide, Slaves And Bulldozers, Gun, Face Pollution, Rusty Cage, Big Bottom (It's actually the Big Bottom/Earache My Eye medley from Louder than Live), Somewhere, Beyond The Wheel, and Meessant Mace (Actually, Incessant Mace, of course). I recognize "Big Bottom" as the version from the Louder than Live video, so I'm guessing that this is compiled from several other bootlegs. If someone knows what other bootlegs it comes from, I'd be obliged. Thanks.

I play oboe in the symphony orchestra of my town and I'm also an accompaniest for singers (like Pavorotti-wannabe type singers). Sometimes people that I accompany ask me what type of music I like and I show them (I even made one person listen to Kyle Petty :o) and they were totally shocked!!! Or even the other way around, people who know that I'm a fanatic of bands like Soundgarden and Metallica are shocked when they find out that I play an oboe (of all instruments) in an orchestra. Personally, I don't see what is soo shocking about it. But I guess if anything is out of the quoted norm, then it shocks people. Wait, now that I think of it, I did have a teacher that surprised me by liking SG. She was my piano teacher, a later-aged Catholic Nun. I showed her a poster of the band once and she thought Kim was quite handsome :o) And when I got the Cherrylane SuperUnknown book, for the fun of it I started fiddling with the chords of the songs on the piano. When she heard it she loved the music!! Everything from the way it was played to the way chord progressions! She listened the songs and SU and loved the way Soundgarden wrote music (her fave is Limo Wreck!!!). I was in total disbelief, I know teachers can have lives and all that, but I didn't see this comming from a nun!!!!

One thing I have to compain about is the soundgarden logo. I personally love the logo and the way it mixes s and g, but every single person who sees it think's it's a swastica, and I'm a nazi! They go "Is that a swastica on your folder and shirt", and I'm like "WTF?! no, that's "S" and "G"!" but they don't get it.

I meant to say they replaced "Shepherd" with "Shepard" I hate typos! :) SToNeTeMPLe ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 01:11:39 -0400 From: Robbie Strickland Subject: Re: what were you doing on tha day they broke up? On the 9th f april (that fatefully tragic day), I found out the bad news from sgi.net.. I hadn't been to sgi.net in a week or two, so I wanted to see if any revisions had been made, or if anything had been added. When I saw the news, my heart literally (and I mean LITERALLY) skipped a beat. I had that same feeling in the pit of my stomach that you get when something terrible happens, like if your hard drive crashes (that's happened to me, not a fun thing). I was majorly bummed for days. my friend, who think's he's a soundgarden fan, but he's not, was acting all bummed too.. I wanted to slap him for being a poser, but I was too depressed. At first, I thought it had to be a joke, a late april fools joke being played by seth. but the imusic site confirmed it. But after thinking about it, it was only a matter of time. I think it was a good thing (in the long run) that they broke up. There was a lack of flare in DOTU, and there had been problems with the band, like chris' voice, ben's attitude, etc.. I would rather have them go out in a blaze of glory then slowly die out. But I'm still hoping for a reunion album or something. :) SToNeTeMPLe ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 5 Aug 1997 to 6 Aug 1997 **********************************************
