Soundgarden Reunite With Taylor Momsen For NFL Halftime Show, Fans Fume After Set Isn't Broadcast On TV

Soundgarden returned to the stage tonight, September 09th, for a special halftime performance as the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the New England Patriots at Lumen Field in Seattle, WA. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame-inducted grunge legends once again had some friends join them for the occasion, bringing out The Pretty Reckless‘ Taylor Momsen on vocalists and Pearl Jam guitarist/vocalist Mike McCready for a medley of favs that included “Outshined” and “Spoonman“.

Momsen has of course performed with the band several times now, most recently filling in for the late Chris Cornell at Soundgarden‘s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction last fall. McCready also kicked off the night by performing the U.S. national anthem, footage of which can be found below.

Fans who tuned into the game specifically for Soundgarden‘s performance on NBC‘s broadcast have taken to venting on the internet, with little to no footage of the band’s brief set said to have been aired. A stream of angry comments have ensued on social media as a result.

A new studio album from Soundgarden featuring their final recordings with their late, great Cornell is presently in the post-production phase, with various behind the scenes label, production, promotion, etc. concerns currently being hammered out.
