My cousin sends me every pic she can find of SG, and I've noticed, that most of them have come from womens'/teen magazines that wouldn't have bothered to mention SG in the past. But then, somewhere along the way (across a successful album, a Grammy award and a CC haircut) they realized their mistake, and are now referring to SG as being the "foxiest band", and "cute as buttons" (no, I'm not making this up........BUTTONS! for godsakes.... and CUTE!......oh what the hell, the entire quote is miserable), Chris as being a "babe" since he cut his "'70s do", and their music as being "music you can work-out to in the gym", yes, great description of SG's music. ok, I'd better leave now, before I get really sarcastic....... sabrina (the sarcastic sommster) ------------------------------ From: rea47935@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu (hasswipee) Subject: official site does anybody have any idea when this "new soundgarden website" that the official page has been announcing forever will be up, and what it will have in it?

IMPORTANT QUESION: So who all's going to Atlanta? Alright, now that i got that out of my system time for something a little different. I was listening to (more like screaming along with) DISC I yesterday, and during Outshined, i had a thought. Doesn't happen much, but sometimes. Anyway, the song reminded me of the part in Hamlet where his cousin comes through killing all those people to get a piece of land and Hamlet can't even kill his uncle as a vengeance for the murder of his father...I got the idea of the same feeling from both works....Does this make sense to any natives of this planet? And if so, any other SG songs remind you of other works of art? -j "Stand up and everyone will see your holiness" -Soundgarden. ------------------------------ From: Lauren Simonis Subject: Re: Why? Well, if you want to know if men and women like SG for the same reasons, my question to you is: What is your reason for liking SG? For me, I love the way the music speaks to me. CC has got a voice like no other. SG's music fits no labels or limits, and that's what makes SG so awesome. However, most of us females also find Chris rather tasty, as well. I don't know about you males . . . --Lauren On Fri, 4 Oct 1996, Taylor Holmes wrote: > I was just pondering a thought...

I just finished listening to Screaming Life... minus the >Fopp remix... and I came to wonder... having Listened to 'Nothing to >Say'... Right from the start... from the 3 prevailing "OOOHHs!" to the >A couple of other "SG Moments"... I guess I must have said this a few thousand times out here, but I love the part in Loud Love when Chris sort of breaths the word "Damn". It really does things to my mind.. >That is what SG is to me... those moments when you can stand up and >scream... those moments probably share the same amount of adrenaline as >it takes to charge a bunker in Vietnam... thank god, my generation has >yet to experience a real ground war... but if I was on the battle >lines...

My generation did and it's not a very good time watching your friends, class mates, and family members come home missing body parts or not coming home at all. The worst I wish on any member of this list is a bit of shoving in a mosh pit in front of Soundgarden..

Is "Mona Bone Jakon" a cover song? My pal listened to the Hater album and he says it's a seventies song or something.... oh well... Ew yeah, that 3rd picture (on Seth's page) of Chris in Barcelona rules! I nearly bust a lung laughing at him!

And I have to say it was one of the best times of my life. I hit five shows all over the northeast. I met the greatest people in the world. I met fans that sold me tickets at face value, one guy even gave me a ticket because he said, "you can't sell what is going to go on in there tonight." People gave me a place to stay in Buffalo. I was fed by the greatest bunch of guys and girls in Maine. Well, the point is that the sense of community was amazing. I am getting ready to hit about 4 SG shows, and I hope the fans are just as cool. Mike ------------------------------ From: Gonzo Subject: Detroit motorcity Hey yeah,hows it going Sommsters Dan,I am going to the Detroit show.I ordered 2 tickets for myself. I do not know where I will be sitting or standing.Actually my father,Ordered them for me.Since tickets went on sale at 5:00pm friday and I was swamped with work at 5pm and could not get away to order them myself.It took him 2 hours to get through to TM.Anyways my tickets are for something like #134 row10 seats 10&11.hey,whatever that means.Dan let me know if you can get me floor tickets if it turns out my tickets are for somewhere in the last row or all the way to the side.I will then just sell mine for beer money or something.And,if you do that for me I will play you a soundgarden song on my electric guitarra and even sing the words. The palace,why couldn't they have played the state theater or even better, St Andrews hall.Hey,Matt would Soundgarden like to come to Michigan state U and play at the Breslin student events center. Last time I saw soundgarden was at Lolla 96 in Indiana and Ohio.At Deer Creek Ind. The front near the stage was reserved for people who got to the show early and received special red tickets to gain entry to the pavilion.I arrived late around 4pm because I left home late and drove about 6 hours. In Ohio,I was getting ready to make my way up to the front when I remembered That my new $125 sunglasses would probably get crushed in the mosh pit.Yeah,so I found a spot near the mixing board and watched from there. So that wasn't bad. Does anyone know of any ticket agencys where I might possibly find a Ticket for the Toronto show.E-mail me at jgg@pilot.msu.edu.

Well. I met Shroom tonight, and rest assured . . .she is as cool as everyone wants to think she is . . . too bad she didn't feel the same for me. I don't know where she was mislead, didn't I make it clear that I was a 29 year old married lawyer? I'm pretty sure she knew that, but she was so dumbfounded that I wasn't pierced and radical looking that she just did not know what to say . . . really wasn't conducive to conversation . . . anyway, I did the natural thing . . . I left. So I guess the point is, I really feel shitty. I thought the point of this list was to bring together different people who had a common interest, no matter who they were or how they dressed. Mistake, I guess. Trust me, I did the scene when I was younger . . . all these wanna be alterna-rock bands are nothing but the new version of Debbie Gibson. I don't mean to get off on a rant here, but when my friends and I were into Jane's Addiction in 1987, it wasn't because they were radio darlings. But now that this shit is the shit, everyone wants to feel as if they are in on something new and cool. Ain't the case. Of course no one wants to listen to us dinosaurs, who did all the drugs and blazed all these tired old paths in the 80's . . . this alternarock thing is new and exciting!!!!!! The point is, who gives a shit how I dress now . . . I make money in the real world, and still know what's up in the so called alternative world . . . therefore. I should be judgmental of you pierced, wierd fucking outcasts . . .but I'm not. I guess I just didn't expect such bullshit from someone I thought knew better. My mistake. The list is overrun with teenage ignorant newbies (flame away, juniors) Seth, youv'e got your work cut out for you. Anyway, Caryn, Grote and all the rest, take care and be cool.....I still wish I could be friends with Shroom, but maybe I'm just way off . . . I thought Nothingman was cool, so what do I know?
