[kj] OT: Soundgarden in Seattle

[Alexander Smith]

True, I saw them at L'Amour in Brooklyn with Voivod & Faith No More,  
and they were mighty to behold. Constant motion and...er... hair, just  
like Charles Peterson's photographs.  To be fair, I saw them again  
several times later and their enthusiasm definitely cooled over they  
years. The final time I saw them was circa SUPERUNKNOWN, and it was  
like watching four mannequins (and not in a cool Kraftwerky way).

I'd still be curious to check them out.
