They might not be the first band you think of when you hear the word “grunge,” and that’s probably not all that bad – Soundgarden transcended Seattle in just about every possible way.
Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was a guest on the 'Howard Stern Show' yesterday (June 18) and the veteran rocker had some incredibly interesting insight on today's musical landscape. Cornell spoke about the recent surge in popularity for electronic dance music (EDM), comparing it to disco and predicting a rock revolution that will overthrow the current craze...
Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd and drummer Matt Cameron (also a member of Pearl Jam) are teaming up with Off! guitarist Dimitri Coats and multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes (ex-Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) for an unnamed new project.
Members of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, the Smashing Pumpkins, Queens of the Stone Age and even Johnny Cash visited the studio while 'Superunknown' was being recorded.
This week we celebrate the release of the 20th anniversary edition of Soundgarden's classic album 'superunknown' with a special re-release featuring a remastered version of the original album plus rare demos, acoustic version, etc.
Also to celebrate the release, someone dug up an appearance by Chris Cornell and crew on 'Billy Nye The Science Guy' in 1993.
