October 26, 2010, 14 years ago
CNN's Denise Quan spoke with the members of the reunited SOUNDGARDEN - guitarist Kim Thayil, bassist Ben Shepherd, drummer Matt Cameron and singer Chris Cornell - at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA recently.
"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 says."A new generation of rock fans are discovering 30-year-old bands via a game like Guitar Hero," says 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 jokes: "Let's say 'yes' in this interview, and 'no' in the next one."
