Video: SOUNDGARDEN Talks Gear With PREMIER GUITAR

February 21, 2013

On February 1, Premier Guitar 's Chris Kies was on location in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the Eagles Ballroom where he caught up with SOUNDGARDEN's Kim Thayil, Chris Cornell and Ben Shepherd to find out all the gear they're using during the "King Animal" tour. Check out the footage below.

SOUNDGARDEN released the music video on January 29 for "By Crooked Steps", the second single from the quartet's new album, "King Animal". Singer Chris Cornell told The Pulse Of Radio a little about the tune: "It's one of the earlier songs that we started working on, but I also felt like it, to me, is like definitely sort of a new chapter for us. If you wanted to take one example of SOUNDGARDEN progressing, that's a good one for me."

The "By Crooked Steps" clip was directed by FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl, who submitted a treatment for the video on his own initiative after hearing the song.

"King Animal" came out last November and was SOUNDGARDEN's first set of all-new material in 16 years.

SOUNDGARDEN kicked off a winter North American tour last month.
