Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil says a new Soundgarden album–complete with vocals from Chris Cornell–is “entirely possible.”
In a recent sit-down with Eddie Trunk, Thayil said the following: “All it would need is to take the audio files that are available. I’d tighten up the guitar stuff that’s on there, add other stuff. Ben [Shepherd] does the bass. Matt [Cameron] is able to get the drums he wants. We can get the producers we want to make it sound like a Soundgarden record. And yes, we can totally do that.”
Now, it’s important to note that Thayil has recently noted legal roadblocks, but still, the fact that the music is already there is what matters. Click here for the rest of the piece, via NME.
