Soundgarden may make a comeback says Shinedown bloke
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 24 June 2009
According to Brent Smith, the frontman of American rockers Shinedown, who apparently has insider knowledge on the matter, Soundgarden are definitely in talks regarding the staging of a comeback.
The band split back in 1997, of course, and frontman Chris Cornell subsequently formed Audioslave as well as embarking on a solo career. As previously reported, Cornell recently said that he would not “count out” the idea of reforming Soundgarden, despite his previous insistence that the band wouldn’t reunite, because of his fear that the group wouldn’t be able to “tap into the greatness we felt when we were on our game”.
As also previously reported, the other three members of the band – Kim Thayil, Ben Shepherd, and Matt Cameron – played a set together in Seattle earlier this year, and now word has it that a full reunion, including Cornell, is on the cards. That word, Smith says, is accurate
He told Kerrang! magazine: “There’s talk of a reuniting of Soundgarden in the States soon. I know someone who told me that who is actually specifically in their organisation. Kinda told me that they’re talking about it”.
So, there you have it, someone specific Brent knows kinda said they were talking about it.
