I can't believe some people think that. I know I can't wait until the = B-sides cd comes out. Besides etheir way you look at it A&M is getting = money. Ethier it's from the b-sides cd or the SG singles. Besides, I = heard that it has, like, around 52 songs or something like that. = Definetly worth the money, at least I would think. But, as someone said = before, if you don't want it, don't buy it. It's as simple as that.=20 -Liz:) ---------- From: Ugly Truth[SMTP:denise@PROMOBILITY.NET] Sent: Sunday, August 16, 1998 2:20 PM To: SOMMS@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Sorry, but it's more B-Sides stuff,feel free to delete. I don't believe some of you people. There's been a lot of discussion = over the B-Sides album here and eleswhere, and I am incredibly surprised at = how many people are against the idea, and their reasons for opposing it. = They don't want others to have some rare songs without going through a huge hassle to get them, just because of the trouble they themselves took to find them. Does this seem just a little bit selfish to anyone else? = Some people don't live in places that sell lots of REGULAR Soundgarden = CD's,let alone have dozens of singles and rarities drifting about. B-Sides is a chance for these fans to get a little more of the Soundgarden = experience. Just because you took the trouble(and even had the opportunity) to go = and hunt for them doesn't give you exclusive rights to the music. How, as Soundgarden fans, can you want to deprive others of the band's beauty? I don't know about anyone else here, but I find that extremely immature and...well...low. I'm very happy that more fans who love Soundgarden = and share in their passion will now have access to even MORE of that = passion. And, because i've ranted and raved on about it for so long already in = the past, I won't even get into the "real fan" issue except to say it's = total fucking bullshit. I find it strange that while so many are against the idea of a B-Sides album because, oh my god, fans will get to hear more songs, almost none were against the A-SIDES album. Kris said about B-Sides: >BUT, A&M probably wants > to make as much $$$ off this set as possible Maybe, but why did NO ONE think this about a-sides?!?!!?? Think about = how blatantly greedy the whole concept of that album is. Releasing an album = of already released songs, totally unmodified from their original versions. Was there any point to that? I saw no logic in this besides a pathetic attempt to wring more money out of the die-hard SG fans who buy anything that is released(and that's not an insult at all to you guys, I see = where you're coming from and am not trying to get on your case at all). Sorry for babbling on, but I think B-Sides is a great idea. Anything = that gives fans more of a chance to experience the music is. Because that's = what it's all about. -Ugly Truth ~ I don't remember half the time If I'm hiding or I'm lost But I'm on my way. . . . .~ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 14:55:29 EDT From: Rachel Potter Subject: soundgarden web rings can someone please send me the pages to soundgarden web rings... i have a soundgarden site i'd like to add!... reply to me, not the list! -rachel http://www.angelfire.com/fl/unknowngrl/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1998 15:39:33 -0400 From: Dave George-Cosh Subject: B-Sides This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000C_01BDCB87.9075BAA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey there, On the subject on B-Sides, keep in mind to people criticizing others = who's opinion differs from yours, that that person could have spent up to $400 buying = all the rare imported singles that could be on a $20-$40 CD package.
