New interview with Ben. Terry Date is producing the new record.

[VinylGuy]

WOW

very surprised with that ! He hasnt been around since BMF. I thought Kasper was going to do it or maybe Jack Endino. Its a very interesting read, Ben is always super sincere about things.

I can see the band doing more stuff after this read.

Blasting Louder Than Love right now. First time in a while....damn Ben is right, Hiro is such a cool player. He is so low in the mix and yet everything he is doing is super cool and very vibey.

And Matt jesus. What a beast. This might be the blues album from them.

[VinylGuy]

Im still amazed im how Chris´s voice mimics Kim´s intro in Loud Love. Badass.

When I wrote the Soundgarden FAQ I named it after the opener from LTL. Still very much a personal favourite.

i love this quote

I’ll tell you a trick: If you ever get to jam with Matt Cameron, you’re fine and dandy until you look at him. Do not look at him! Once you even glance up at him, you’ll fuck up because it’ll blow your mind. You’ll lose timing. If you don’t watch, the timing is perfect. But if you watch, you get hypnotized and you space off. Really, you just ride the wave with Matt. You take what you can, you move how you can, and you just know that that fundamental force is there. It gives you absolute freedom to do what you do because you know Matt is just going. He’s so beyond just a drummer keeping time — he’s a force of nature.

I remember when Chamberlain played with them that Ben said he preferred him to Matt, because Matt would do all kind of different things and kept him guessing how to follow him.

ha

that's funny

part of me feels like Soundgarden "is" Matt though

no dis to the others

but the power of the band when they are on stage is from Matt

and there happen to also be a guitar and bass up there

but the band is Matt

[96583UP]

obviously i love the others

Terry Date is producing the new record.

This is a wildly unexpected choice.

[zeb]

I get wanting to go with someone they know but Date wouldn't be my first choice as a fan.

[VinylGuy]

i like it, its surprising and i guess it could hint the sound or the vibe of the album. I guess Kim is behind the idea?

[96583UP]

i expect the agreement was that Matt gets to ensure his drums don't sound so pointy

[VinylGuy]

Matt share some pics of their rehearsals and damn, Hiro is there, Mike fucking McCready, Jerry Cantrell!!!! and yes yes Taylor Momsen will sing

fuck yeahhhh.

[VinylGuy]

oh wow Kim just announced he is releasing a biography, damn...im getting it.

Out next May.
