Temple Of The Dog Could Record New Music

(Classic Rock) Chris Cornell, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready all believe there's a chance that the recently reunited supergroup Temple Of The Dog could record new material, they've said.

The band that consists of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden members will tour for the first time next month in support of the re-release of their self-titled album, first launched in 1991. It was designed as a tribute to Mother Love Bone frontman Andrew Wood, who'd died of a heroin overdose the previous year.

Pearl Jam guitarist McCready last month told Classic Rock that he was in favour of a studio return, saying: "I'd love to - I'm there. I hope we can do new songs."

Now Soundgarden singer Cornell tells Rolling Stone: "There's always a chance. Just from my perspective, it would have to feel great. I don't want to say it would have to live up to the album, but I wouldn't want to take away from it. I don't want to detract from what happened before."

Pearl Jam's Ament says: "That record is so unique in terms of what initiated it - but I love recording, so I'd always be up for it, I think." Read more here.
