Lines like "share a cigarette with negativity" and "use my inspiration for a guillotine" really get me. I never thought about masturbation during this song (ugh), I always just thought about it being about this big bad-ass guy with a leather jacket and chains and a cigarette who doesn't care about anything. Sort of the kind of person you would see if you had to summarize the "grunge" scene with one person. ~Matt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 11:37:32 -0400 From: Scott Hammer Subject: Opening Bands I was sittin around listening to Tad yesterday when I started to take a journey into the musical tastes of our boys in the Garden. I was curious what you all thought about the opening bands they have chosen. So far the only ones I have actually dug were Monster Magnet and Tad. Tenderloin had an awesome drummer, but I can't get the picture of the singer pulling the harmonica from his butt outta my head, so they're kinda in limbo on my list. I also dig Swervedriver to an extent. Anybody else got any comments on opening bands they dug or maybe some insight as to why SG might have chosen some of 'em? Fire Away, ~^v^OzzY^v^~ BTW FYI: Monster Magnet/Swervedriver=BMF Tad=SU Tenderloin=DOTU Just in case any of the bands got dropped or switched when someoone else saw 'em...or just in case anyone can tie the particular band into something SG thought fit with the album...I dunno, have at it. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 12:04:17 EDT From: saperl@ALUM.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: Days of the New That's really strange... I could have sworn this was a SOUNDGARDEN mailing list. This is not a Days Of The New list. Never has been.

And even Chris said himself that he rather let fans think what they want, b/c it's much more fun. And, um, I think the word you want is: double entendre. ;o)~ "Remember I love you, love you" love, lissa =) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 14:16:39 -0400 From: Angela Woolley Subject: Re: sexual interpretations of songs.. OK, fellow dirty minders....does anyone but me not believe Chris when he says Mailman is about a disgruntled employee? I'm sorry but there's enough double entendre in those words to make even the naughtiest of us blush (or it could be that I need to get out more often?) Pleasantly Perverted, Angela :-) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 15:11:41 -0500 From: NIKI FREER Subject: Howard Stern-Cornell = ) hello sommsters! well, because of college and stuff, i never get to listen to good old Howard much anymore, but my mother listens everyday. when i came home this weekend, she told me that sometime around Wednesday or Thursday of last week, Howard had on the VSC3 CD doing his friendly little review of it, as he does plenty of CD's... well, mother said that Howard absolutely *loved* Ave Maria, and the whole crew he works with came to the conclusion that it is the single best track on the entire CD. (like we all didn't know that!) but she said he went on to babble about how amazing Chris is and what a great voice he's got and how successful he's going to be... all the stuff we love and know about our Cornell. = ) so, if anyone actually heard this other than my mother, i'd like to know what went on... my mom can sometimes get things confused... = ) mind riot ____ there must be something else there must be something good far away...far away from here... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 17:41:55 -0400 From: Nadezhda Ball Subject: Sexual Interpretations of Howard Stern the hippie-hop Aloha SOMMSters! Yeah yeah, Howard Stern sexual...I know the deal.....anyway.....About the sexual interps here, I used to be a hoochie (the female versions of hoodies or something, I forget what you guys think are hoochies) "back in the day" and my "crew" thought I was weird, because I liked Soundgarden more than hip-hop. My hoochie friend said to me that if I ever met Chris Cornell I should say, "Chris Cornell, would you like to see my black hole...sun." (because...psst! I'm black!) So there's one. But the whole song is kinda...Okay, lemme show you some more so you see what I mean....."won't you come, won't you come..." and he says that over and over again.....and "call my name through the cream and I'll hear you scream again....." I guess those were obvious....... There's some lyrics in Fresh Tendrils that escape me.....I want to think of all the songs (pre and post SU) that I have put my dirty little mind to, but I just woke up, and this is all I can think of right now. A semi Right On! for the crack about Mailman, for I sometimes picture....naughty things.....But as far as Drawing Flies goes......never thought of it as a masturbation song, never pictured a guy in a leather jacket or whathaveyou....I always pictured like me or Chris Cornell sitting in someone else's apartment, sitting on a bed which is supposed to be a couch and the walls are nasty green color, just wanting to leave this "party" and all I have to keep me sane are cigarrettes, having no self esteem to say anything, but then....SNAP! To me it's a song about self esteem or fear of becoming what you loathe and being content your individuality....I don't know, it's 5:30 in the pm and I just woke up...shoot me please. Now my for my little two cents on Howard: My boy told me about it......I was too sick to hear Howard this week. I got even less sense or whatever out of him then you got from your mom Niki. A happy note.....I just got my little hippie-hop (a hippie who enjoy's hip-hop) friend to sit down and listen to Soundgarden, and he digs it! Spread your love of SG to everyone who deserves it! Well now it's time to say good-bye Oyasa minasai, much luv, and all that jazz SOMMSters! Sorry if this was tooooooo looooonnggg. DeZHy "If this isn't makin sense, it doesn't make it lies."

UGH no! all they succeeded in doing was making me about a trillion times more excited to see SG come out and blow them away! (so i guess maybe they did do their job...) but no, they were *awful!* the matching outfits, the dancing guy who looked like mcjagger, the constant horns.... i can't take any ska whatsoever... it's all the same... but Tenderloin was very good, and very cool. the lead singer had a great sense of humor. how many other 500 pound men would rip off their shirts and flick quarters (at my show) into the throbbing audience that just wanted you the hell off the stage anyway. they had a great presence, i loved them. Oh, another thing: concerning the release of "Bleed Together" as a single... i was informed yesterday that local station Y 100.3 (for you sommsters near philadelphia) has played it on the radio multiple times. *sigh* i'd hoped that wouldn't happen, silly me... An old friend asked me last night if i'd heard the "new soundgarden song"... = ) i thought he was talking about Ave Maria, silly silly me... = ) mind riot btw, he thinks "bleeding me" (as he called it) *jams.* = ) lol... ____ there must be something else there must be something good far away...far away from here... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SOUNDGARDEN 1984-1997 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 22:09:31 -0400 From: Maria Joseph Subject: YouthQuake - Kim and the Kiddies Hey! I just took a glance at the tv and saw this cd and then "Soundgarden" in bold white letters in the corner..but I think it said Oct. something... I think it might have said November..who knows... anyways ............. I was attempting to find some pages that have RealAudio of SG when I decided to use the search feature. It gave me this link and I went there to this kids audio place and read that Kim did an interview with YouthQuake on September 30. (Other bands have done it afterwards or before like Pearl Jam..) I can't view the video of the interview of play the audio of the interview because it's AudioNet stuff and I don't have it, but you guys that think you are able to access it can copy and paste the url: http://www.audionet.com/shows/youthquake/archive.html It's should be the 2nd feature and it's under "September 30 - Nineth Show" So check it out let the rest of us know what Kim had to say to the young kids.

Of all the acts opening for Soundgarden that I have heard of, he is the one act I definitely wouldn't be wishing offstage.
