In addition to reading the FAQ and histories, I suggest that >you newbies take some time to read the digest archives. This is a great idea, and reminds me of something I've been meaning to put together for a long time: the top 20 posts in SOMMS history. This will be a great introduction to the list for potential subscribers and newcomers, and I think all of us oldtimers will enjoy looking back on the great ones. I know there have been literally thousands of posts since 1995 and the search engine on the site sucks, but please send me posts (give me the digest date, the sender and the subject) that you think deserve to be in the Top 20. I will compile them into a list and set up a voting page (with links so you can read each post separately, not in the middle of a digest) on the site. PLEASE send me nominations privately, and I'll announce when the voting page is ready to go. I will be accepting nominations until July 23. -seth ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 10:42:56 -0700 From: Barbara Strong Subject: Re: bashing the newbies Let me say first that I know where both of you are coming from. I have seen a lot of bashing of "new" list members over the last few years. But I think you misunderstood completely what Jenny was suggesting. Once upon a time this list was fun. Fun like you could not imagine a mailing list to be. Unfortunately, a lot of the original list members are no longer around. Things have changed a great deal since our beloved Soundgarden broke up. I think we have all been at a kind of loss of ideas or topics. It can be very frustrating for those members who were around in the "good old days" when this list was a source of joy and entertainment for everyone who participated. Friendships were born, stories and jokes were told, and Soundgarden info was abundant. It just isn't that way anymore. I don't think at all that Jenny was pointing the finger at the newer list members. That's just the way it is. All relationships change. But we still like to reminisce. And she was simply offering an avenue for you to go down and share the same experience. I joined this list at the tail end of those "good times". I have read many of the digests and regret not joining sooner, to be closer to those times. But I have still had the opportunity to meet and get to know some of the members (a few in person last summer!) and share my love and respect for one of the greatest bands I have ever known. That is what it is all about! Check out the digests from BEFORE the band broke up. You might just find yourself interested... << I agree with Lizzy. I've been a SG fan now for about ten years, but I've only joined the list a short while ago. However, it seems that people are desperate to overdo the veteran thing and knock new people who were probably into SG before them anyway. Dates shouldn't matter and subject fascism should really be avoided. So, although it makes sense that older people on the list will be frustrated, and Jen is certainly right that the ancient SOMMS archives should be checked out, I feel that ignoring unnecessary posts would be alot easier, and then we can get on with discussing lyric interpretation, or new info, or whatever it is that takes different fans tick. >> << First of all I'm tired of all u ppl bashing the newbies. I'm not a newbie I liked SG for 10 yrs....but those who started good for them. They started liking them because of the MUSIC. Who cares about the bands PAST and HISTORY, of their personel lives. The music is all that matters. And I think thats what SG is all about. They don't want us to read all this bullshit about crap..... If I misunderstood u guys I'm sorry..but since I joined the list which is not long ago, thats all u guys talk about.....Suggestions for the newbies. >> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 23:48:47 +0100 From: =?iso-8859-1?q?johnny=20utah?= Subject: reading 95 I'm from the UK, and I just wondered does anyone have a bootleg copy of the Reading 95 gig by SG? The video is what I'm after really. If anyone would be willing to send me a copy I would be really grateful, maybe I have an SG live tape you would like a copy of? _____________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Remembering that the song was released on an early single, I looked at the credits writeup for the song. Hiro played bass on the song, but Ben wrote the music. I'm not a wretched "newbie," so if anyone could shed some light on this without sarcastic undertones, it would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 22:32:53 EDT From: andy g Subject: mp3's hey guys and girls, i am just wondering if there is a cool rare sondgarden mp3 website?? thanks -andy a.k.a. sndgrdnfan _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

Fellow SOMMies- I was just listening to my Oslo, Norway 1994 boot and just remembered that before track 7 (Room a Thousand Years Wide) Chris jokingly introduces the band as Def Leppard. That was 1994. Jump to 1999. It's interesting, in retrospect, to view titles of the forthcoming "Euphoria Morning" album in contrast to Def Leppard's recent attempt at a comeback, "Euphoria" (remember "Adrenalize" anyone? didn't think so....scary that i do). And also in contrast to the webmasters at Chris' new site who (mistakenly?hmmmm.....) added the words def leppard to the old html. Eerie coincidence? Practical joking? Or something more....? Is it a conspiracy? Are there even more connections out there? Discuss! Talk amongst yourselves.... -Joe "desperately trying to create a new top twenty topic nomination before July 23rd" Corroney ------------------------------ End of SOMMS Digest - 12 Jul 1999 to 13 Jul 1999 ************************************************
