TEMPLE OF THE DOG: Considering Writing New Music
October 5, 2016
According toThe Pulse Of Radio, singerChris Cornell, bassistJeff Amentand guitaristMike McCreadyof the legendary Seattle super-group Temple Of The Doghave not ruled out recording new music.McCreadyhas already toldClassic Rockthat he would "record new songs in a minute," whileCornellsaid toRolling 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."
Jeff Amentadded: "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."
Temple Of The Dogwas originally assembled in 1991 as a tribute toMother Love Bonefront-manAndrew Wood, who'd died of a heroin overdose the previous year. It featured members ofSoundgardenand a new group that would eventually morph intoPearl Jam.
Although there have been occasionalTemple Of The Dogperformances over the years, the collective will tour for the first time next month in support of their reissued album, which came out last Friday (September 30).
Although the band is only playing five cities on this run,Amentsaid that there is the possibility of more touring down the line. He explained: "If everyone is excited, it might become a thing we do every once in a while. We can call each other up and say, 'Hey, we just got an offer to play London,' or something. That would be fun."
The"Temple Of The Dog"reissue is available in four configurations, including a four-disc super deluxe edition, a double LP, a two-CD deluxe set, and a single CD.
