SOUNDGARDEN Interviewed By CNN; Video Available

October 26, 2010

CNN's Denise Quan recently conducted an interview with all four members of the reunited grunge legends SOUNDGARDEN — guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd, drummer Matt Cameron and singer Chris Cornell — at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

"We were sort of talking about re-releasing our catalog and updating our whole system of how we communicate with our fans, because the band started pre-internet, pre-cell phone, pre-pre-pre-everything," Cameron said.

"A new generation of rock fans are discovering 30-year-old bands via a game like Guitar Hero," added Cornell. "It's like try to get a larger picture of what we do musically out there to a younger generation."

When asked if there are any plans to get back in the studio Thayil joked: "Let's say 'yes' in this interview, and 'no' in the next one."

SOUNDGARDEN will be the musical guests on Conan O'Brien's upcoming TBS late-night talk show on Tuesday, November 9. Also scheduled to appear are Tom Hanks and Jack McBrayer.

SOUNDGARDEN was interviewed on the October 11, 2010 edition of the nationally syndicated radio show "Rockline" with host Bob Coburn. You can now listen to the program RocklineRadio.com.

SOUNDGARDEN's first collection of music since 1996, "Telephantasm" came out on September 28 in the U.S. and September 27 internationally. This career-spanning retrospective album includes never-before-heard unreleased track "Black Rain", taken from the "Badmotorfinger" recording sessions.
