  2. Hey guys,

    We are sorry for any confusion caused by outside sources but as many of you already know the SG camp never announced that the 19th would be the release of “Been Away Too Long.” Again, we apologize for any confusion and you can expect the single on 27 Sep 12. Rest assured it will be worth the wait!!!

    Thanks for your continued support.

  4. The title is definitely fitting.

    I will be buying this - at the very least in digital format.
  5. it should be on itunes on 27
  6. first review of the single ..

    Well first off, to alleviate fears, this sounds nothing like Live to Rise, later day Audioslave, Carry On, or Scream! It sounds like classic Soundgarden, raw Grunge here! The song kicks off with a riff that sounds like AC/DC meets My Wave, off of Superunknown. The song has a major punk vibe. It sounds like Soundgarden undoubtably, Chris Cornell’s voice sounds the strongest it has since 2002’s Audioslave self-titled debut album

  8. iTunes version of Soundgarden's 'King Animal' features 4 demo versions of songs from the album as bonus tracks
  9. Chris interview for live 105

    “This new album King Animal, it has a lot of layers to it. It’s something that it will take time for people to kind of digest and it’s not something that I could describe to you right now or that you will understand based on listening to the first single for example. When Live to Rise came out, I did some interviews where a lot of people were asking ‘is this kind of indicative of the feel of the new album?’ And the answer was, no it’s not really. If you take any song from the new album, and take it out of context of the new album, that’s not either. There’s a lot going on, but it’s definitely [indicative] on some level of where we are now.”

    “When we started talking about making a new album, this was almost two years ago, I was sitting around and one night having trouble sleeping. I was thinking of new Soundgarden songs and the music in my head was some sort of uptempo kind of Soundgarden version of a punk rock song, but not Been Away Too Long. And that line sort of flashed across as I was just kind of listening to what I call brain radio, and I thought wow that would be a great new Soundgarden song. Then I forgot it, completely. The music was something else that I had written and demoed in a fairly compact form without a bridge really it was like verse chorus solo with no lyrics no vocals nothing and played it for the band and they really liked it. We worked on it as a band arranging it, Ben came up with kind of a jammy bridge section that was really cool and we recorded it like that and it was done but I had still never wrote anything. Towards the end when we were almost to mixing and we were finished with the album I was having trouble sleeping one night and I remembered that line and thought, this would be really great for like a first Soundgarden single. But as I started to write the lyrics then it became more autobiographical and it became real. I don’t think I would write lyrics to a Soundgarden album that would be like Eminem writing lyrics to a new Eminem song, which is essentially telling the story of the making of the album and where he feels he exists in pop culture and that kind of thing. So it’s not really that, it’s more autobiographical and more of a look back at history in sort of a strange atmospheric way, the way that I write. But the initial spark of the idea did feel like it would be right in the narrative of, yes we’ve been out and we’ve been gone for 15 years and now we’re back. It’s about time, and we still have something to say about rock music that no one else is saying and I feel confident about saying that.”
  10. i was undecided on where to put this so i go for the "poorer" thread hehe

    Matt (Cameron ) quote on a SG/PJ joint tour

    “After I play like, I don’t know, 2 hours with Soundgarden, my day is done. I think when we did the PJ20 show Chris came out to that and we played some Temple of the Dog stuff and it was awesome. Maybe there might be a one off where that could happen, but I’m not 25 anymore.”
  11. A Soundgarden show would definitely seem like more of a "workout" than a Pearl Jam one - probably like running a half marathon AFTER running a full one.
  12. in general i honestly prefer SG drumming rather than PJ (Matt era of course)
    .. it's safe to say, don't quote me on that ..
