Arden



Name: My preferred name is Arden.

Email: arden_667@hotmail.com

Age: I'll say it and be damn proud of it too! I'm a mere 14.

Location: I live in Kent, Washington. A god awful suburb of the oh-so-great Seattle. It's a little hick town full of a bunch of people I hate. I all my free time with my sister in Fremont, a much cooler place.

What do you do? I go to school in a hell hole called Totem Jr High. We're the guinea pigs of the district, being the only school in the city with uniforms. 111 days left!

How you discovered Soundgarden:Soundgarden came to me in '94, when sitting on the bus my best friend said, "This is that band I'm always telling you about! God that frontman is hot!" ...later, when DotU came out I was drawn into the list and obsession was sprouted from there...

Favourite Soundgarden Album/songs: My favorite songs change depending on what mood I'm in. up there real high is Cold Bitch, Nothing to Say, Zero Chance, Full On (reprise), Beyond the Wheel (live), Head Injury, and Tears to Forget. I know I left out a thousand and three of my favorites, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

Live Experiences: I saw the last Soundgarden home town show. It was postponed a week due to "Chris having laryngitus" which we later learned was because the band wasn't talking to eachother. It was an altogether good show, Rocket from the Crypt dropped out of the line up, so the now-defunt Presidents covered for them. They were all in good for, even if Chris' vocals didn't come to until halfway through the third song, Pretty Noose. Chris thrashed his mic stand in Ty Cobb, throwing the bent pieces into the audience. I booted the show, and got this great quote from it: (Chris coughs a couple times into the mic and says, "Dont worry, if I dont get any on you, you wont get sick. How are you feeling? I'm feeling better myself, thank you. Sorry about hoy you had to get that guy to cover for your shift so you could come see us last week, and then I fucked you up and you had to get a guy to cover your shift this week, but you can tell them that next time I'll take care of it. I'll go in there and pull your espresso or whatever the fuck it is you guys can do. I'll do it! I can pull espresso!!"

Any other bands you like: I like Pearl Jam, Rancid, Offspring, MxPx, Super Deluxe, Captain Tractor, Alice in Chains, Fastbacks, about any "grunge" band you can name, and of course the best band of all, Rhymes With Orange!

Your Comments: My comment is that contrary to popular belief, I, Arden, am *not* a guy. If anyone out there has some vinyls they're jsut itching to get out of their hands, I'll *gladly* have/buy it. If your ever in the mood to talk Soundgarden (aren't we always?) mail me! I'll babble endlessly with strangers anytime!
