Perhaps we should take a listwide tally or vote > of some kind, to find out where people stand on this issue. What does > everyone or anyone say to that? This list has rules. You all knew that when you joined. If you don't like the rules either leave or take the issue up with Seth (the monarch) personally. We do not "keep it going", Seth keeps it going for us. He can pull the plug whenever he likes. I don't believe that anyone here reasonably believes "Soundgarden content" has to be reduced to the band that was. What the current members are up to is certainly relevant, and I think we could extend that *at times* to include family members as well (this list was always open to announcements about Inflateable Soule), and side projects involving SG members were always acceptible fare here. However, a band containing someone who might sound like SG, or might look like SG, regardless of how good they might be, is not relevant, and I am not interested in reading about it on here. I can find out about other bands other places. I can discuss them with like-minded people in other places. I refrain from doing so on here out of respect for the other listmembers, and for the rules.

Anyway, here is a recent one. I was listening to Applebite and, in certain parts, the drums really reminded me of the drums in Black Hole Sun. I know that many of us take the title Applebite as a biblical reference to the Adam and Eve story. The drum similarities (at least in my mind) seemed to point to Black Hole Sun, or its success, as being seen as the forbidden fruit that, once sampled, had fatefully exiled soundgarden from their deserved kingdom, a prophecy that would be fulfilled by their eventual breakup. Was BHS' success the root of all evil?? Was that to blame? I still love BHS, though. honestly not a bible-thumper, shawnte (pass the Kool-Aid, Mr. Jones) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 13:07:15 EDT From: Igor Nepomnyashchiy Subject: www.chriscornell.com changes hey all... I was just looking at the site and I noticed the little "coming soon" thingies are gone on all the sections except "preview songs from "euphoria morning"" but the new sections are not linked yet... anyone know what's up? -Igor ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 11:41:37 -0700 From: Dave Brener Subject: C'mon MERCYFUL FATE ROCKS! _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I've heard the clips at Seth's site, but I'd like to hear the full song. I used to go to the old Soundgarden ftp site- "The Source"- (back when my computer had about 50 MB free disk space) at 24.1.16.6 for rare shit, but that location has been down for about a year, I guess. Thanks, SOMMS brethren. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 16:22:22 EDT From: Lance Huber Subject: What's the Official Date Does anyone know the *official* date of the release of Chris' first single? I know the date August 8 was being thrown around, but that is a Sunday and don't these things usually come out on a Tuesday? Anyway, the record company is holding this one tight. I have been hounding my radio company contacts to get me an advanced promo copy, but the label won't release them. They will only let radio management here it on a hand delivered CD which they pocket right after the meeting and won't let any copies out......but I'm still trying.

I still do not enjoy this song.So i think if that lousy channel called MTV puts on a song from the new Chris' album it'll be the most ...hmmm wimpy... yeah,...to put it short - the least rocking song from the album.I never heard "Pretty Noose" or "Kickstand" on MTV. so, dear TLC/eminem/madonna/lenny kravitz fans COME ON , WAIT UNTILL THAT POPPY-CRAPPY CHANNEL PUTS ANY GOOD MUSIC... ********************************************************** OSMOLOVSKI ZVIKA (KONSTANTIN) * * sosmolok@techst02.technion.ac.il * * VISIT ME AT: * * http://t2.technion.ac.il/~sosmolok * * MORE BEER - MORE FUN * ********************************************************** p.s. why putting html with the same text?my mail account is not web-based, so maybe plain text will do the job? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 23:28:14 GMT From: The Koggle Subject: Re: don't turn MTV on (if you love SG) >So I wanna tell you - >before I heard the rest of SG I judged them only by >BHS and my expectations weren't high.

It's funny you should mention BHS.. I have had the urge to listen to it more often than any other SG song this month. And i love it. I don't care how big it was and how everyone knew/knows the words. It is a great song.. So who knows what new song from Euphoria Morning will get played over and over.. we all know some shit songs get stuck in radio stations frequently played songlist, but i feel confident that there WILL be a cool song that everyone will like and we'll hear it nonstop and we'll get an influx of newbies (and i don't mean new to SOMMS newbies, i mean new to Chris newbies.. most probably 14 year olds that see him in the video, just like i did!).. As for MTV, I really don't care what they play! Don't bother waiting! heheh later Kogg ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 1999 19:48:09 -0400 From: Brandon Baker Subject: Links on Chris Cornell Website This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BEDB8D.9DEBCAA0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable the links still have coming soon under them, it's just a bit darker godofsoundgarden ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BEDB8D.9DEBCAA0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
