No I'm not related to anyone in Tool or in the web page, I have seen a couple of posts about Tool, and I myself am a fan. Likewise, talking to other Tool fans at a couple concerts I have been to, its amazing to see how many times I have heard Soundgarden mentioned by them. Similarity between the two probably doesn't come a lot from the music itself, but how it appeals to those who are generally into music that isn't carried by a lot of hooks (at least not right off the bat), but tends to make you think. >Some SG fans might be interested in this band, I'm just encouraging >people to discover this huge band ( and they are still together for now >... let's cross finger). I don't know, not many signs of iminent death, though we all know how Soundgarden broke up. I guess you can't really predict, but I wouldn't worry that much. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 17:26:12 PST From: Sassy * Subject: vinyl sale guy I'm sorry to post this but could the guy who posted about having some Soundgarden vinyl for sale please contact me.

What do you guys think the song "Exit Stonehenge" is about. Its lyrics are, well, kinda different..........> i don't think exit stonehenge is about anything. it's just a bunch of crap, but the lyric "exit stonhenge" is cool. i just wish they could have made a better song with it. jimi ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 2 Apr 1998 to 3 Apr 1998 **********************************************
