Seattle, United States (1984 – 1997, 2010 – present)

Soundgarden is a Seattle rock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that more closely resembled Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the “big four” of the ’90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell (vocals, and originally drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil (guitar) and Scott Sundquist (drums). Thayil joined the band after moving to Seattle from illinois with Yamamoto and Bruce Pavitt, who would later start sub pop records. Scott Sundquist, who left in 1986 to concentrate more on his family, was replaced on drums by Matt Cameron. Yamamoto was replaced by Jason Everman on bass after the release of 1989’s Louder Than Love. Jason Everman was quickly replaced by Ben Shepherd, who remained with Soundgarden for the rest of its life-span.

Break-up:
Soundgarden disbanded in 1997, following an aborted tour in support of their album Down on the Upside, as a result of increasing tensions within the group. Cornell went on to pursue a solo career, releasing a solo album, Euphoria Morning. He subsequently went on to form Audioslave with former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, while Cameron subsequently joined Pearl Jam, replacing Jack Irons on drums.

VV I didnt say u were dumb kiddo, chill out. About AIC, I already did that but my vote isnt important, u know?. But I take that like a tribute or sort of. We are lucky to have -> SOUNDGARDEN 1992 = SOUNDGARDEN 2012. The same old dudes. Sorry If I dont make myself clear, I am high as fuck. Peace out.

N just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean I'm dumb or naive. I don't have to get over anything.

@GrungeSickness : Maybe you want a picture of Pink Floyd in 2012 as the official picture ? Why don't you thumb up an Alice In Chains picture with DuVal instead of Staley ?

""This one just doesn't fit" - but its a photo of the band." But they look better in the early 90's. I think that most of us want a 1992 pic like this one http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Soundgarden/+images/40286645 or this one http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Soundgarden/+images/381787
