In this rare backstage conversation — filmed moments after their final rehearsal for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction — Allison Hagendorf sits with Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Ben Shepherd, and Hiro Yamamoto for an intimate, emotional look at Soundgarden’s past, present, and future.
Shot inside their rehearsal space, this unfiltered hang dives into memory, brotherhood, creativity, and the power of a band whose music changed rock forever.
Soundgarden open up about:
⚡️ The weight of Rock Hall week & rehearsing with Jerry Cantrell, Mike McCready, Brandi Carlile & Taylor Momsen
⚡️ Feeling Chris’s presence in the room — and what they believe he’d say about this moment
⚡️ Jim Carrey inducting them, decades after insisting they play SNL
⚡️ The identity of Soundgarden fans — and why this honor belongs to them too
⚡️ Their final Soundgarden album, built from their last sessions with Chris’s vocals
⚡️ Working again with Terry Date & the new direction those songs were taking
⚡️ Discovering each other in the early Seattle scene & shaping their sound
⚡️ What they’d tell their younger selves — and the legacy they hope to leave
This is Soundgarden like you’ve never seen them — reflective, vulnerable, funny, and fiercely connected. A celebration of artistry, community, and the enduring spirit of Chris Cornell.
