Thayil joins Cornell in speaking up Soundgarden releases
Earlier this month Chris Cornell broke his silence about the Soundgarden legacy, admitting to Rolling Stone plans to release an album of B sides as well as a possible box set of previously unreleased material. Now, Kim Thayil, recently voted in the Rolling Stone’s Top 100 guitarists, has spoken to the same magazine and declared that the box set will happen, some day.
The band are currently discussing with their management ways to get Soundgarden music and merchandise out there again, so their fans can appreciate it. It does look hopeful at the moment.
The box set will include regional-only tracks, John Peel sessions and demo versions of songs that were never released.
When asked the same question as put to Chris, (will Soundgarden ever reunite?) he gave a similar answer: “I never say never … but I’m not losing too much sleep over it, either.”
Well, that’s better than a complete rejection of the idea, like recent rumours of The Stone Roses was quickly quashed. I genuinely hope to see Soundgarden play live again one day. But if not, then I’m certainly looking forward to the unreleased material.
