I love Chris Cornell. However, Kim Thayil is precious and smart and grounded in this interview. I love the way he drinks his drink, the tone of his voice, his eyes as they blink and the way he rubs his beard. He brought so much to this interview just as he brought so much to Soundgarden. He is a treasure and a beautiful soul.

Both very intelligent and articulate men. Love the both.

Chris seems so much more natural when he’s sitting beside Kim talking as opposed to how he converses when Tom Morello is in an interview- just seems like Kim, Matt, Hiro was in a way his roots undoubtedly it shows ya know their connection- adore these 2 intellectually theim musicians the musicianship 🙏🏻💖 ...sadness for Cornell’s passing

Never seen this interview it’s good!! man I miss these guys! RIP Chris Cornell

Honestly I just love seeing Chris taking responsibility for microphone availability. You can see they both have gears turning in their heads but it’s amusing to relate to Chris in this way of sharing a platform by nature of h the situation

Great to hear Kim speak. Educated and well spoken.

Listening to this interview, i am struck by how professional Chris and Kim were here- they're being asked really superficial questions.. almost on the verge of annoying (same old crap about grunge, whats yr favorite song, etc) and yet they give concise, introspective answers to this guy's questions. Soundgarden were truly an iconic band & are greatly missed.

It’s empathy and humility. They know it’s not about them but about local Poles that are seeing them on their own television show. With that being said doing press is dumb. One big well done interview is ideal. That’s why you see big celebs doing that.

Well...its POLAND. They're far more removed from the whole US grunge "thing" than we are, so things that WE may already be aware of after hearing about it ad nauseum, may be "superunknown" over in Poland. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Cool video. Watching this was really soothing and relaxing. Something about their mannerisms and manner of speech; it just flows. Makes me wish I was out there, with a little breeze and a nice cold drink, listening to these legends among men.

Only love for these great musicians. Best songs ever. Great live. Rush would be proud. See you in heaven I hope Chris and Soundgarden.

For me the best answer/insight is at the very end when they describe mental/physical aspect during songs..I’m glad that part was captured. They are both so well-spoken throughout.

Who would of known that 3 years from then he's gone. The only famous person death that really hit me. I was so gutted. Soundgarden is my favorite band and Chris is my favorite singer. R.I.P 💔

If you listen to Soundgarden’s cover of Black Sabbath’s Into The Void song. Kim’s Thayil’s guitar sound made their version of the song sound so much more harder and better to me than the original song. Kim Thayil is soooo gifted with a guitar! He’s amazing!

Ridiculous questions, incredible answers. Music is more than art, it's also language and a highly specialized technical field. In other words, it's infinitely complex. Reporters are completely out of their league when discussing music and wind up looking stupid. Musicians become irritable because it's like talking physics with a 3rd grader, except the 3rd grader has a platform to tell the world you were "being mean". Respect to Chris and Kim for entertaining a thoughtful discussion and teaching this guy the ropes. John Lennon would have strangled him. RIP Chris Cornell, musical genius.

'Influences'? Asked and answered. Love his way of politely showing his annoyance. ❤

Awesome stuff

Soundgarden interviews are great 👍🤘

People were so hell bent on labeling the music scene/style that put all the hair bands to rest that they just called the next generation of music grunge because these bands were the visual opposite of the hair bands. No more silk scarves, hairspray, guyliner, that all faded away in popularity and was replaced by a new style. Both visually and musically. That’s my take on it anyways.

Wow. What a great and interesting interview. I never got caught up in commercializing the sound by calling it grunge. Loved their answer on that subject.

It's not "getting so serious"; would he, in his late 40s, in his 2nd marriage, with 3 kids, and the success of Soundgarden being something from his youth, with no new novelty to it, still be sitting there with EXTRA long hair and torn jean shorts and flannels tied around the waist? What's not to love about this? They're grown men (GROWN UPs, GOD forbid!) Eddie Vedder is absolutely no different in that way. These people that DO try and look, sound, and act like they did when they were kids or in their 'figuring it out' 20s are who look weird and, frankly, ridiculous. Otherwise, a legend gone way too soon. You are so missed, Chris.

Always gotta have a label. I was a singer in a rock band in mid 90's and everyone called us acid rock. It was just rock and some songs had a Hammond organ so the Doors meets "Grunge" . Was just rock.

RIP CHRIS

I live in Seattle and never considered any of it grunge. I always considered it alternative

Thanks for sharing this great interview....love tje office....whoa dude bigfoot.....jk.....im sure u figured out we didnt hear the questions...still cool anyway thanks....soundgarden is my favorite i was born 35 days before chris an we have a lot of tje same influences but garden does not sound like any band in my 50 years of rock library....john lennon is probably my favorite he was my influence at eight years old...i got the white album....so i could understand why everyone else wasnt on that level....a derrrr

This would have been really great if you could have heard the interviewers questions

Two cool guys on the gab

What did the interviewer say when he cut off Kim Thayil talking about history I wanna hear?

when the questions are in audible I tend to skip the entire interview. Shouldn’t be that hard to get good audio for both.

Exactly, kollektiv union artists not Grunge as genre. Feeling if community because of the personal connections. Mixture of Punk and Hard rock but doesn't mean the same as others bands. They took from Punk rock and Heavy rock and they made their own thing. If takes grunge as exist genre that was small bunch of bands. Soundgarden is their own style even if they have the same influences as bands described as "grunge".

"Who were your influences" says the clones, all of the time, every time

,❤️ CHRIS ❤️

Its Dawn Chris, come over apartment 10 bloomfield Hills, Michigan, off Klingensmith!

Who was the groupie next to Kim. The one in the brown.

Not sure if there is really or was there really a difference between them playing Poland or Romania or Czech Republic etc.

Soundgarden should have taken a break, rather than breaking up in 1997.
