With the 25th anniversary edition of “Badmotorfinger“ now in stores, Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil took part in a lengthy chat with Rollingstone.com to discuss the effort and it’s origins. The conversation also shifted towards future plans for the band, including a new album and future reissues. When asked if the band has more plans for future reissues/re-releases, Thayil replied:
“Yes. Definitely. Since 2010, when we began attending to our catalogue, we were doing ‘Telephantasm‘. We’re now looking back at the catalogue and we’re realizing which songs we never released or recorded. And then we start looking forward. So we’re juggling that with the new ideas we’re coming up with because we’re constantly writing while at the same time attending to the archives.”
In regards to their progress on new material, he offered:
“We’re still in the writing process. We have a dozen things demoed. First things first, here: Matt has these Pearl Jam commitments, and Chris has been doing a lot of touring to support ‘Higher Truth‘ and Temple Of The Dog.”
