Matt Cameron Looks Back at Temple of the Dog 25 Years Later

Radio.com caught up with Soundgarden and Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron recently to talk about his group Hater, but he also discussed another group that he was part of: Temple Of The Dog.

Here is what Cameron had to say about the group, "It's the 25th anniversary [of Temple of the Dog], but we had to go through this contentious court battle to get these idiots to give us our master tapes back. And that's when Chris posted that [to Facebook]. But yeah, we're figuring that stuff out now, as far as the re-release goes."

"It was such an emotional record," he said about their self-titled album, which was a tribute to the late Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood. "The music is emotionally jam packed. The lyrics, the music, the performance, it really captured the mood, and the sentiment really well. it was just a one-off record. that record's always had more gravitas than other 'side-projects' like Hater or Wellwater Conspiracy. It was very specifically themed." Read the full interview here.
