I wonder how Chris and the band feel about someone they idolised when they were young and inspired by, liking their music, something like that must be a bigger buzz than getting your first advance or whatever. Has anyone read of any other celeb's professing their admiration for our favourite band?? On another note........ On Saturday October 14th The Guitarist wrote: >I've only really heard Superunknown stuff . . . but my least favorite off > that (by Chris) is Limo Wreck . .. . hard to explain why . . . it's just I can't believe how Limo Wreck can be anyone's least favourite track off Superunknown, sure it is quite dark (evil?) and sounds more in the style of the Badmotorfinger material (probably why I love it), but Chris's voice sounds so clear and rich on the verse and the guitar harmonics chiming away sound amazing, even if someone had to provide "guidance" as it states on the album credits!! It's also one of their most Sabbathy songs, which is always a good thing!! On yet another note...!! Does anyone have any interpretations on what Searching With My Good Eye Closed is meant to be about?? It always struck me as having a religious type of aura about it as if he's actually searching for some sort of answer about life, existence, Heaven etc - "Is it to the sky..", "Looking for a paradigm..", i'm probably completely in the wrong ballpark but thats what good lyrics are all about, people interpret them in different ways, any ideas?? Keep holy the SABBATH day...........!!! Daniel Garrett ------------------------------ From: samm@mail.usa1.com (Samson Frederick M.) Subject: Bootlegs I recently bought Ultramegaunknown and it has not left my CD player for three days, the majority of hours spent listening to it. It is a must own. The song list is on J. Crocker's bootlist, so I won't write them all here - -- it;s a compilation of all(or nearly all) the non LP tracks of the last two years with the Singles and S.F.W songs as well. It's well worth the expense, I think, even at around US$20, unless you already own all the singles and soundtracks. Would be worth it for me just for the live version of "Beyond the Wheel". I also think Stolen Prayers is an essential piece for any SG collection. It's not quite as thick as Ultramegaunknown, but it's worth having for the Songs for Ozzy (almost) trilogy as well as "Nowhere but you" and "Fluttergirl." (It's also obscenely expensive). ...Speaking of Stolen P's, I think compiling lyrics for these songs is a worthy project -- where do I send my submissions? I actually think the list is an appropriate place for lyric discussions since everyone has the chance to respond to everyone else's submissions instead of having it all go in and out of one person's mailbox -- besides, there isn't much better to do. What do people think? Also, if anyone has information leading to the capture of a copy of Satanoscillatemymetallicsonata, either alone, as part of a compilation, or (but preferably not) with BMF, there is a reward...well, not really...

Apparently the fake title inspired Chris and he wrote the song, later employing his acquaintance Artis to work with him.

Chris writes a lot of songs having to do with religion and Jesus, etc. I get the feeling that he thinks that a lot of organized religion and so-called "religious, church-going people" are corrupt and a big joke, but I can't figure out what his personal view on religion and spirituality is. Judging by the fact that it's on his mind enough for him to write a lot about it, I think he must have some personal beliefs, but I've never known him to be the type of guy to reveal much about himself through songs or interviews (which, by the way, I think is pretty cool because it keeps the focus on the music). Anyway, I personally don't think he's an atheist because he's a phenomenal musician, and I think music for many people can be a spiritual experience, especially if they don't buy into organized religion. I don't mean to offend anyone or to start some big debate, I just wondered if any of you have any opinions on the subject... Krissy ------------------------------ From: teeger@mail.utexas.edu (Kristina H. Teegerstrom) Subject: vinyl collection This is great - I live in Austin and I haven't met any big Soundgarden fans, much less any female fans, fans that collect vinyl, or fans that heard of Soundgarden before Black Hole Sun came out. I've been collecting for three years and will generally buy each piece of SG vinyl that I don't already have and that doesn't cost over $20. I don't think I've paid over $20 for any one thing, and the prices vary depending on where I buy the stuff. The Austin Record Convention happens twice a year here, and it's really great, except most everything is too expensive. I saw the original Fopp 7" (the first Sub Pop single) there, but the guy was selling it for $200! Here's a list of my SG vinyl collection: 7": 1988 live in Seattle bootleg (Gun, Communication Breakdown, I Love You, Head Injury) Loco Mosquito/Incescent Mace bootleg (red vinyl) Come Together/Heretic bootleg "Pub Sop" Sub Pop Rock City/Fopp on blue vinyl (this has a xeroxed sheet of paper for the cover and says limited edition of 500 - does anyone know anything about this?) Spoonman picture disc Outshined picture disc Rusty Cage picture disc Thank You (falettinme be mice elf again)/Everybody's Got Something To Hide bootleg 10": Hands All Over 4 Track EP 12": Ultramega OK ("A religious man might hink we're evil...A rational man might think we're religious...")

Krissy ------------------------------ From: teeger@mail.utexas.edu (Kristina H. Teegerstrom) Subject: poncier CD OK, OK, I know I've been sending a lot of messages, it's just that I've never found people to talk with about this stuff before. I'm a member of Knights of the Soundtable, and two years ago when I joined (paid my money) I received a packet in the mail with a brief bio and discography. I also got a CD entitled "Poncier" (after the character in Singles) and it has Seasons, Nowhere But You, a different version of Spoonman, Flutter Girl, and Missing on it. The vocals on all of the songs are obviously Chris's, but there are no names on it, not his or Kim's, etc., and it doesn't say Soundgarden on it anywhere. Anyway, it's a really cool CD - I figure it's a few songs Chris has recorded that wouldn't necessarily have "fit" on past SG albums. Maybe we'll see some of these songs on the new album...Does anyone else have this or have any information on it?

Searching with my Good Eye Closed has taken on special meaning to me lately (me and my girlfriend of 2 and 1/2 years recently called it quits).

Looking to the sky and down Searching for a ground With my Good eye closed (He's looking for stability but the speaker is inable to see it correctly, kind of hopeless) If I took you for a ride Would you take it wrong Or would you make it right (One of the most important lines in the song: In our realities we can either TAKE something as bad or try to MAKE it right, such as a relationship ^a ride^) Looking for a pedestal that I can put you on and be on my way (He wants to exalt the person and walk away, it's a very sarcastic line. Here's all your fame and glory, but you don't deserve it, only in your mind you do, and I'm gonna just leave) Stop your trying to bruise my mind I can do it on my own Stop you're trying to kill my time It's been my death since I was born (This person who asks for exaltion hurts him, and he recognizes he's self destructive and this relation really isn't helping him or protecting him) I don't remember half the time If I'm hiding or I'm lost but I'm on my way (He looks back and finds it hard to see if he knew where he was when no one else was around ^the difference between hiding and being lost is knowing where you are and if you want to be found^ But either way, it doesn't matter and is leaving).

Punk is a waste of great musicians. It is (as said before) three or four power chords, loud beats, and no rules. (When they say PJ Harvey is punk, without the rules, I can't help but laugh. PUNK HAS NO RULES!!!) Rancid is still punk. They can play a beat that sounds more like something from a 1960's surf movie, and it's great. They can play that damn circus song (dah-da-da-da-da-dah-dod-da-da-dah) and it's a song. Punk guitarists are usually very good musicians that like the idea of standing up on stage, making asses of themselves, and blasting out a few chords. In punk, you can do anything. Soundgarden, or grunge metal, has a distinct sound of loud, powerful, great stuff to headbang to, and great stuff to just plain listen to. At punk concerts, people crowd-ride to make asses of themselves. At grunge concerts, people crowd-ride because the guy next to them got a little over-excited. At punk concerts, there's a mosh pit with people wearing masks and carrying dolls and looking stupid.

She came home one day, and he had dismantled them, and made a musical instrument out of them. She was pissed, and she broke up with him. At a guess, these are the bells we hear! Does anyone know if this song was specifically written about Andrew Wood's death? Oh - just to let you know how much of a SG freak I am - have you seen the twisted fork that Chris has been wearing around his neck? It was featured - sorta - in the Spoonman video - it can easily be seen in the Black Hole Sun video - and it's on some of the new posters. Anyway - I made my own copy of it. So, I wear a twisted fork around my neck. :-) I get comments all of the time. I've got a penchant for long posts, I guess... Here goes: I got a lot of requests to find out what exactly my bootleg contained. So, I'm going to list every Soundgarden / Soundgarden related album that I own. I'm going to try to arrange them chronologically. VARIOUS - DEEP SIX (Major release - interresting, historically - not very good) 6. Heretic 3:22 7. Tears To Forget 2:06 12.

Slaves & Bulldozers 8:38 I ownded Soundgarden - This Is Boston, Not Seattle at one point, but the sound quality was so poor that I sold it back. ALICE IN CHAINS - SAP (Minor release - hard to find - By far, the best Alice In Chains single) (I mention it here, because Right Turn (and presumabmly Lovesong) were recorded by Alice Mudgarden - the members of Alice In Chains, Mudhoney, and Soungarden) 1.

Slaves & Bulldozers 16:37 (That's right SIXTEEN MINUTES!!!) (Beyond The Wheel starts off with Chris singing Hey Jude. Slaves & Bulldozers - this is the best version of it that I have ever heard. It also contains Chris singing a little of Pearl Jam's "Alive" - better than Pearl Jam did it.) There was a Radio Station record that Soundgarden had - it contained a cover of - some Beatles song - I can't remember which - but it was AWESOME.

No, not at all, drugs play a HUUUUUUUUGE role in rock and roll. And I do agree with you. And I don't doubt you either. Ecstacy is for the rave scene, heroin is for rockers, and TRLOFTUS is for fat white trash :) Or at least, that's the stereotype, and an intresting one at that.

Vankolken" Subject: Re: Not Soundgarden, but worth a look I don't know if any of you guys care but I live in Seattle and up here a disc called "HATER" was released. In this band lie both Matt Camereon and Ben Sheppard. Sheppard does most of the singing and guitar playing, while Matt C. plays only guitar (nO DrUmS) and sings on one track. It's a cool album and I reccommend to anyone. BEWARE: it doesn't sound like the GARDEN at all. bob ------------------------------ From: yakk@ix.netcom.com (Norman Bauer ) Subject: HEY KIM THAIL ON NEW PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA CD i JUST BOUGHT THE NEW PRESIDENTS OF THE U.S.A. iT IS AWESOME. i NOTICED ON THE LAST SONG NAKED AND FAMOUS, THAT KIM THAYIL OR HOWEVER THE HELL YOU SPELL HIS NAME.

In the background, sitting one seat to her right, was either Kim Thayil or someone looking a lot like him. I am sorry to say I can't remember what game it was. I know it was in the Kingdome, not in Cleveland or New York. It was either late in the NY series or early in the Cleveland series. Jay was up at bat. If anyone, by some very small chance, knows what I'm talking about and when, and happened to record that game, please confirm or deny the accuracy of my eyesight. Again, bear with me on this, I very well could be completely wrong. Hopefully this will be related to Soundgarden enough that I won't get flamed. Go Mariners!!!

Mailmain - to me, anyways - is about a woman who treated you like shit. It's about the girl you loved who sluffed you off. It's about enjoying the fact that someone who treated you like hell is now, no longer better off than you are. It's one of those, "Damn, that's harsh" songs.

HATER does a song called convicted on a compliation album called HEMPILATION. I think it is safe to say they aren't drug free. By the way, has anyone heard the song I was refering (no pun intended even though the word is reefer) to 'cause I almost bought the album and need encouragement.
