My interp of what our pal Ames said, SG making a Seal album, sounds more to me like it's SG with more soul...if that's possible. But you = know what I mean! There are always so many different ways to describe an=20 album's sound that I don't think we'll really know until it comes out. I = for one trust Matt's opinion and what he's heard he really likes, so bring = it on! skat ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01BEBA37.065BCE00 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Ultramega was more bluesey, but LTL, with Big Dumb Sex, Get on the Snake, and Loud Love, slotted in quite nicely with some big sex rock until Motorfinger straightened them out again with a more psychedelic/grinding groove. If I am missing the point and yes, yes, if indeed I miss the whole point of SG's sarcasm, then are we supposed to believe that SG is totally not for real? Or do they in fact fit into the metal crowd for some of their career, and hence 'BADDEST HITS' fits? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I believe their second compilation album was entitled "Greatest Misses." You know, I remember way back before Michael Jackson when the word "Bad" meant actually......you know.....bad. That is the joke behind "Baddest Hits" I believe. If it's true, I can see this title as a totally SG double entendre. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 20:40:17 +0100 From: Deborah Baker Subject: Re: B-sides/ "Baddest Hits" > LimoWreck5@AOL.COM writes: > > << first of all, how can we be so sure that this is a rarities album Last year Susan Silver said: "[Guitarist] Kim [Thayil] is primarily working on it. It will make the perfect balance with the previous album, but it will have a lot of obscure, previously released stuff. It'll be songs that were released on 2,000-run singles in Japan, [that] type of stuff." ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 19 Jun 1999 22:37:20 -0500 From: Mike Jones Subject: My SG Page Hi everybody, I just wanted to take a time out and say my page is up, I know it sucks as of now, it's still under construction.
