Kim Thayil from Soundgarden talks about his new memoir, A Screaming Life, and shares stories and memories from every era of one of rock’s most influential bands! Kim discusses learning guitar, discovering punk rock, the early Seattle music scene, Mother Love Bone and Andrew Wood, Soundgarden’s unique sound, and how Chris Cornell evolved from drummer to one of the greatest frontmen in rock history. He talks about the frustrations that led to Soundgarden’s original breakup, Chris Cornell’s move to Audioslave, the band's eventual reunion, recording “King Animal,” and how fatherhood changed Cornell. Kim also reflects on Cornell’s legacy, their friendship, the impact of his passing, and the possibility of unreleased and new Soundgarden music. Plus, the time Gene Simmons called Kim’s house, the rise of grunge, and what it was really like watching Soundgarden become one of the biggest bands in the world.
