Photos and words by Debi Del Grande Last November when Soundgarden played the intimate show at The Fonda, it was more of a celebration/party for the release of King Animal . This last weekend, the master rockers performed three sold-out nights at The Wiltern and it was a full-on, blow out of a show with exceptional lighting. It was loud, loud, loud. Just the way we like it. Special guest Raymond Cameron (son of drummer Matt Cameron) took over Chris Cornell's guitar duties on "Eyelid's Mouth." [...]

photos and words by Jim Bennett : With a full house roaring their approval, Soundgarden came to the stage one member at a time on Friday night - each member clearly grateful for the crowd and ready to tear into a long set of powerful music. The first song opened under really clean light with roiling bass from Ben Shepherd, tight drums from Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell prowling the breadth of the stage & across the tops of stage monitors, seamless guitar lines from Kim Thayil. Snaking, unresolved melody that [...]

What’s “too long” in rock and roll? I suspect 16 years would likely qualify, but Soundgarden doesn’t sound like they missed a beat in the past decade and a half without releasing any new material. King Animal , the band’s first album since 1996’s Down on the Upside , kicks off appropriately with the raging rocker, “Been Away Too Long.” And, truth be told, as soon as the first words spew from Chris Cornell’s mouth – ‘you can’t go home, no/I swear you never can’ - you realize that it has [...]
I remember the exact moment I became cognizant of live shows and the fact that I could go to them. I was about 14 and I saw an ad in The Rocket for Soundgarden and Everclear at the Salem Armory. I was intrigued, but I wasn’t a big fan of Soundgarden’s most recent release Down on the Upside , so I shrugged it off. Shortly after that they broke up, and my first show ended up being Korn and Sweaty Nipples. We all make mistakes… Thankfully, Soundgarden reunited, and the gods of rock [...]
