Ziggy Pop: KIM THAYIL SAYS NEW SOUNDGARDEN MATERIAL IS HEAVY AND BAND HAVE 14 NEW SONGS http://grungereport.net/?p=5254 an interesting interview with Chris Cornell for NZ TV: http://www.3news.co.nz/Chris-Cornell---full-interview/tabid/551/articleID/215669/Default.aspx
Ziggy Pop: a new interview with Kim Thayil in Guitar Player, and some cool little bits inside about the new LP There are some things that sound similar in a sense to Down on the Upside, so it's kind of like picking up where we left off. There are some heavy moments, and there are some fast songs. Guitar players might recognize some of the tunings, but not dropped]D. Frankly, it seems very pedestrian now, and it bores me. I don't want to make that power chord with my one finger on the fifth and sixth strings anymore. I've become very comfortable with C, G, D, G, G, E [low to high]. That's a progression from the open]C]based tunings we developed on Superunknown and modified on Down on the Upside. There is also some material going in new directions, and there are some slightly different elements. I don't know how to address that specifically. I will say that Chris tracked a mandolin part last night. Rest assured though, it was more in a Zeppelin way than a Renaissance way. After that, I grabbed the mandolin and we all had fun jamming acoustically. It will be interesting to see where we wind up. https://picasaweb.google.com/ijeffgarden/KimThayilGuitarPlayerJuly2011#

Ziggy Pop: On June 21, 2011 Kim Thayil reported that the new album would sound "similar in a sense to Down on the Upside" and that the album would be "picking up were we left off". The next day, Chris Cornell reported that the new album would not be released until the spring of 2012
Ziggy Pop: Soundgarden Inadvertently Reunites At Area Cinnabon SEATTLEMembers of the popular 1990s grunge band Soundgarden shocked critics and fans alike Tuesday, appearing together publicly for the first time in more than a decade after accidentally running into one another at the Northgate Mall Cinnabon. http://www.theonion.com/articles/soundgarden-inadvertently-reunites-at-area-cinnabo,2501/
Ziggy Pop: It was pretty damn gratifying to see over 10,000 Soundgarden fans journey to a venue an hour south of Boston on a Sunday night for the bands first area appearance on their current reunion tour, and itd be hard for anyone who made the trip to say the band didnt give them their moneys worth. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/soundgarden-boston-concert-review/
Ziggy Pop: Soundgarden Aiming For Early 2012 Release Date For New Album According to an interview Seattleweekly.com recently conducted with Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil; the band are aiming for an early 2012 release date for their new album. Speaking on the timeline for the new outing, Thayil offered: Theres no timeline, except that our targetroughlyis early 2012. We are focused on this tour and these shows and we have a few dates in October, but in the interim, well do some studio work. We have a few more guitars to do and some vocals. And some of the songs are still being arranged. We want to make sure its absolutely the most satisfying for us, and put the best foot forward that we can put. I would assume our fans will also get into it then.

Ziggy Pop: KIM THAYIL TALKS MORE ABOUT SOUNDGARDENS NEW ALBUM - Are you writing together? - Yeah. Theres individual compositions, certainly. Chris has done very well over the years writing solo compositions, where hes writing the music and lyrics. He brings it to the band, and we twist it around and add our flavor to it. But theres also collaborative songs on this. I think probably one of the earliest I cant really speculate, but if things are going the way weve been talking, one of the earliest songs we release will be a collaboration where we all wrote. It came about out of an idea of Matts. We all contributed some music, Chris came up with the lyrics afterwards. Its funny you should bring up that ambient, psychedelic stuff. That goes back to the conversation about the Beatles, where I liked the heavy and fast, and that sort of psychedelic element, that dark psychedelia is certainly present in some of the early records of Boris, and Sunn O))), and bands like Om. You get the heavy, you get the trippy. Its excellent.

Ziggy Pop: CHRIS CORNELL TALKS ABOUT HIS REASON BEHIND DOING SONGBOOK ACOUSTIC TOURS USA Today The acoustic approach: On the live album, fans will find covers of Led Zeppelins Thank You and John Lennons Imagine alongside renditions of Soundgardens Black Hole Sun and Audioslaves Like a Stone, as well as Cornells most recent single, The Keeper, which he wrote for the Gerard Butler film Machine Gun Preacher. The inspiration for an acoustic tour started about four years ago. I did an acoustic show in Stockholm that was recorded and I didnt know it. By the time I got back to the U.S., it was playing on the radio and people were telling me that they wanted more of that from me, he says. Id done a few one-off acoustics, but I could never get in the rhythm of it, so I decided to commit myself to a full tour. That experience so far has transcended all my expectations. Re-creating his classics: Over the years, playing songs again and again revealed their potential in an acoustic setting, he says. During rehearsals, I dont do vocal warm-ups, they dont take me where I need to be before a show, so thats how I came up with the unplugged versions of my rock songs. There are songs like Black Hole Sun that arent that much of a stretch, there are others that take a lot of performance before I find the right fit. Some songs I just gave up on, some I played 100 times (before I had) a revelation how to play them, and then there are some that I had never done live and I discover through rehearsal. I have such a wealth of material. This tour is really just scratching the surface of whats possible. http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/story/2011-11-02/on-the-road-again-chris-cornell-soundgarden-audioslave-songbook-tour/51338932/1
