If you don't post people bitch that no one is posting. If you do post and start a conversation they bitch about wasting time. And Dave you wasted all that time writing about wasting all that time posting about Chris' CD.....Go figure! I am proud of my career here on Somms of wasting everyone's time for 3 1/2 years now!!! And to Barb, Christi and Catherine. If I fantasize you all a show in LA...I'm also working on an invite to someone's house or apartment and a chauffeured ride to the show! And being that service is provided at the Loud Love Motel I will expect nothing less! HEY CHRIS!!! We have a room reserved for you!! Just give us a call! toni ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 16:42:17 EDT From: Charlie Mccutcheon Subject: christi i'm looking for sg's performance on that pj pirate radio show in '94(?) and the song christi (i know it's on some concert boot or other) if someone has these i'd gladly trade for anything from my meager collection of rare sg. thanks charlie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 16:49:30 -0400 From: Kim Subject: Wayne's World This has probably already been mentioned before, but here goes anyway. I was watching 'Wayne's World' for the first time in about five years and I noticed that during the bar scene when the Jolly Green Giants are stepping up to the stage, 'Loud Love' is playing in the background. Also, when Wayne, Garth, and Cassandra are at Benjamin's house, 'All Night Thing' is playing. -Elliott ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 20:14:37 EDT From: Mike Gallagher Subject: Re: More music In a message dated 4/12/99 8:41:44 PM Eastern Daylight Time, nate@ALUM.MIT.EDU writes: << This may be slightly off-topic (don't you hate posts that start off like that :), but I figure this is the best place to ask. I'm a big SG fan, of course, but I'm also looking for new music to get into. So I'm hoping for some pointers to some really good bands that fellow SG fans enjoy. I've already picked up on the bands I like from mainstream radio (Tool, Creed, Monster Magnet, etc.), I'd like to make sure I'm not missing out on the Mayfield Four's and Big Wreck's of the world. Any replies (private or to the list) are appreciated! >> I'm sure every person but me on this list hates them, but LESS THAN JAKE AND DAVE MATTHEWS BAND ARE FUCKIN' INCREDIBLE!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 20:17:47 EDT From: Mike Gallagher Subject: Re: More music In a message dated 4/12/99 8:53:58 PM Eastern Daylight Time, age@ALFHEIM.NET writes: << Someone mentioned Bela Fleck and the Flecktones before. You should give them a serious look. They played at my school last February, and it was one of the most amazing shows I've ever been to. Their bass player, Victor Wooten, has got to be one of the greatest players ever, if not the best. >> Oh sorry I forgot them in my last post. The revised version: LESS THAN JAKE, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, AND BELA FLECK AND THE FLECKTONES ARE THE NEW ROCK GODS!! sorry for stating the honest truth. Vic Wooten is the best bass player since Jaco Pastorius. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 17:22:36 -0700 From: Andrew Snodgrass Subject: Re: More music Mike Gallagher wrote: > I'm sure every person but me on this list hates them, but LESS THAN JAKE AND > DAVE MATTHEWS BAND ARE FUCKIN' INCREDIBLE!! What you talkin about?????? Dave Matthews Band kicks ass. Carter is one of the best drummers around, yes he is as good as our dear Matt. And Stefan plays an awesome bass. I've heard some crazy sounds coming out of that thing that i have never heard anyone else do. And i won't even go into how great of a guitar player Dave is. -- -AS mailto:asnod@home.com http://members.home.net:80/asnod/ |---------------------------------------------------------------| | "Everybody likes my stuff!

In a recent on-line chat, Rage Against The Machine's guitarist, Tom Morello, had this to say regarding Soundgarden: Moderator: Q. Which bands have influenced you the most? Tom_Morello: When the band first formed I used to describe our music as a cross between Soundgarden and Public Enemy. There's obviously a healthy dose of punk rock in our sound as well. The Clash are my favorite band of all time. And let us not forget the mighty Black Sabbath. -Elliott ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Apr 1999 22:13:28 PDT From: Sassy * Subject: ToTD help hey sommsters, I was wondering if anyone had any audio or video copies of the following Temple of the Dog shows: 13/11/90 - Offramp, Seattle 6/10/91 - Palladium, Hollywood CA 13/9/92 - Amphitheatre, Irvine Meadows Are there copies around or are they one of these rarities that I've got no hope of finding.
