Even though the band broke up in 1997,
they had a decent career. SoundGarden came out of Seattle in the late '80s
early '90s. So their music is often given the label of "Grunge". Members
of the band had loads of talent and had side projects and careers outside
of the band. Band members included:
Chris
Cornell-Vocals
Chris has one of the most amazing voices ever.
Outside of SoundGarden, he released a solo album, worked on the Temple
of the Dog cd, and now sings for Audioslave. He also wrote most of the
songs for the band.
Kim Thayil-Guitar
Kim is an average guitarist that played in
a great band.
Ben
Shepherd-Bass
Ben replaced Hiro Yamamoto on bass guitar
in 1991. Ben wrote some memorable songs for the band.
Matt
Cameron-Drums
Matt is one of the greatest drummers ever.
Outside of SoundGarden he has his own band called Wellwater Conspiracy.
