Anyway, I've always thought Soundgarden defied musical categorization. They're definately not metal, never were alternative. I feel a little more comfortable calling them hard rock, but they don't fit in that glove either. /\ /\ 'o' -The Cat ==================== The Ask the Cat page: http://www.geocities.com/Pipeline/Dropzone/8176/ ==================== Don't listen to the evil message below..... ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 15:20:12 -0500 From: seth Subject: BMF/SOMMS in NYC For anyone in NYC, Venus Records on St. Marks Place (between 2nd and 3rd) had a copy of BMF/SOMMS for $16 as of about 1pm today... -seth ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 14 Feb 1999 15:26:04 -0500 From: Kendrick Kay Subject: new site, old videos? new site, old videos?
I just finished making a unique Soundgarden site (in other words, no rehash of the same old material).  For those of you who visited my old site, this one is far better..   My personal take on what Soundgarden means, selected pictures (credit to the Unofficial Soundgarden Site), lyric analysis, as well as a really cool seven-minute mp3 with clips from each song on their six albums (very interesting to listen to).

Matt's drum set changed, and the distortion, guitar sound and guitar riffs all changed, I'd probably categorize it as straight Rock (with a soundgarden touch)...and in DOTU, the other guitarist in my band seems to think they "wussed out" which I must admit they did, although Matt's set stayed the same, and the guitars sounded the same, DOTU seemed more of a personal album, the lyrics in my mind are more poetic and the music isn't as distorted, making it "fresh and clean." I don't know what I would categorize DOTU as...because it has so many styles in 16 songs...from that classic feel in Tighter and Tighter, to the mezmorizing sound of Burden in My Hand, and Blow up the Outside World to the depressing tone of Zero Chance and Boot Camp, to lastly, the best song to listen to while under the influence...Overfloater...I probably like DOTU the best because of it's many styles... -Jeff ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 14 Feb 1999 to 15 Feb 1999 ************************************************
