      He made a wonderful self-deprecating joke about himself in an interview in a guitar magazine I read many years ago, and it sticks with me to this day. I don't remember the exact quote, but to paraphrase:
      "My guitar skill surprasses 97% of the players out there. Unfortunately, the top 3% are in this business."

  • @shruggzdastr8-facedclown
    @shruggzdastr8-facedclown Před 4 lety +62

    It broke my heart when he mentioned knowing Chris ever since they were "kids" (Kim in his early 20s and Chris still in his teens when they met) -- especially when his voice cracked ever-so-slightly, showing how much he's still grieving the loss of not just a band-mate but his long-time friend as well.While some bands have continued to record and tour after the loss of a vocalist/frontman (whether via quitting, being fired or death), and have gone on to either to maintain the success they'd 'til then enjoyed or build more upon it (AC/DC and Van Halen being but a couple examples of those -- some continued on under a different name like The Minutemen did when they lost D. Boon and became fIREHOSE after adding Ed "From Ohio" Crawford), there are certain vocalists whose one-of-a-kind personalities and presence become so intrinsically-linked to the character of the band that they fronted that fans just can't imagine them being replaced and accepting the given band without that specific person at the helm. Chris Cornell, in my opinion, is one of those singers who can not be replaced. It was right for Kim and the others to determine that Soundgarden couldn't be a viable band, going forward, without Cornell as frontman. Now, that doesn't mean, as Thayill mentioned early-on in this interview, that the surviving members can't release albums featuring previously-unreleased material (b-sides, demos, outtakes, covers, etc.) -- just not continue recording new albums with new material as Soundgarden.

      Now, it might it be interesting if the surviving members of Soundgarden and Audioslave got together and toured playing songs from both catalogs with Zach de la Rocha on vocals* -- if he'd want to do such a project.(*given that Audioslave was essentially Rage Against The Machine minus Zach with Cornell in his place -- although the lyrical content wasn't as overtly-political in terms of subject-matter)

    • @miless544

      Well put. Chris Cornell was an amazingly talented individual. He would have been successful regardless of his accompanying musicians. Just look at the material he put together literally overnight for the Singles soundtrack; "Seasons" is one of the most heartbreaking songs ever written. No, replacing Chris Cornell just is not possible.

    • @ccsg1313
      @ccsg1313 Před 4 lety +4

      I agree. And in a book i have, Kim says, Chris was only 19 when we formed Soundgarden. Chris had to get authorized permission before we were to play a show inside some Seattle bars.

I'm so relieved that Kim won't pull a Jerry Cantrell and attempt to replace the face, heart and soul of the band. Cantrell can fuck right off. But that's a whole 'nother story...

    2 things. It's clear that Kim is still dealing with losing Chris. He seems a little guarded when talking about him. There also seems to be a little bit of underlying anger at the situation the band finds themselves in with regards to their control of their own future. Alot is said here by Kim without actually saying it.

    Kim has one of the biggest hearts ever in rock and is a criminally underappreciated guitarist and musician. As far as comparing AiC to Soundgarden in terms of working after losing Layne/Chris, is Jerry was a prominent part of the vocal sound. Jerry also was the prominent song writer in AiC and Chris was the primary writer in Soundgarden. So, there is a different dynamics is involved as well. Jerry also waited a good long while before reforming AiC.

    Bottom line: if the remaining SG members desire to continue writing music together with a new singer, do it under a new name. There is no Soundgarden without Chris, just as there is no Soundgarden without Kim, Matt, and Ben.

    Love Kim. Major obstacle with the files is getting them from Vicky and her mother, who judging by previous form, will incorectly see more value in releasing them as a Chris Cornell solo album, probably produced by Pharell or Will.I.am or someone "current" and "A-list". Also knowing them, they will be very much enjoying the feeling of power from holding onto those files. This has been slighlty exasperated by Kim calling the tribute concert out for what it was. I'm hopeful, but expecting absolutely nothing.

It'd be so nice if they could get around to releasing a reissue of that milestone record (even if the timing is off relative to its 30th anniversary) as I would gobble that thing up on the day that it comes out!! I so hope that Kim and the other guys can get all the legalities straightened-out in order to make that a reality!!

And the other allegations she wrote down in the lawsuit against Matt, Kim and Ben are just laughable lies and she knows it. i really didnt wanna join the vicky cornell hate movement but it's hard when she pulls this kind of bullshit.

However, they are human beings, and they are going to do whatever gives them the most closure and I respect that.

      You don't seem to understand that the band still has a contractual obligation to fill with the record producer. They are most likely working a "new deal" to make sure the band fills prior contract. Then the whole damn thing is complicated by widow (estate of Chris) wanting her share, so record producers have their hands tied legally.

That way they could do the Soundgarden thing without being constantly compared to the Chris era.

    Looking at other bands that have continued to make music after losing their frontman, I hope that Soundgarden won't go the same route. I've always loved Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Soundgarden and I always will. Alice in Chains is making new music with a slightly harder tone when it comes to the arrangements and lyrics. It's ok but it's just not the same. Stone Temple Pilots have found a guy (Jeff Gutt?) that sounds exactly like Scott Weiland and they've released maybe one new song. Yeah, it sounds like STP but we all know that that's not Scott singing. In this fan's humble opinion, Soundgarden should release what was recorded before Chris' death, after it's fine tuned in the studio, let Soundgarden stay SOUNDGARDEN, and be done with the name . And whoever has the recordings of the vocals needs to grow a conscience and hand them over to the guys. Just so they can have the closest thing to closure that this might bring them, as well as the fans, and Chris' kids.

William Duvall has his own voice and style which isn't to everyone's liking. To me, that is more honorable than what STP seemed to be doing with Gutt when the Meadow single dropped.
