Seattle, United States (1984 – 1997, 2010 – present)
Soundgarden is a seminal 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.

Part of me is ridiculously excited, but the other part is worried that Chris Cornell is going to fuck it up (I have trouble trusting him because of the horror that was Scream). We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.

Starting to wonder if Chris's got the power to persuade Matt to leave Pearl Jam, and whether Kim and Ben are in... how is it gonna work, anyway!? Before we invite them anywhere, ask yourselves if you really want a reunion say one of the guys is missing???

What a suitable picture. Soundgarden are about to commit musical suicide. Please don't always resurrect the good things of the past.
