Matt Cameron Talks "Amazing" Unreleased Temple of the Dog Material


Temple Of The Dog - Hunger Strike

Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Temple of the Dog drummer Matt Cameron discussed Temple of the Dog in a new Radio interview.

Its the 25th anniversary [of Temple of the Dog], but we had to go through this contentious court battle to get these idiots to give us our master tapes back. And thats when Chris posted that [to Facebook]. But yeah, were figuring that stuff out now, as far as the re-release goes.

He later said, I do not enjoy the current philosophy, where its sort of expected that you release all of your outtakes and rehearsals and demos, I really dont like that aspect of it at all. But the fans really like it, so Im always talked into having those things in our Soundgarden re-releases. Were trying to get Badmotorfinger off right now, were trying to figure out what to put on that, and there were a lot really cool outtakes and things like that. I personally, as a songwriter and as a performer, dont really want people to hear that [laughs]. But I guess as a fan, its cool to hear the inner workings of how a record gets made.

What extras might make it onto the Temple of the Dog reissue?

I think theres probably alternate takes, and I think Chris made demos. But his demos are pretty freaking cool. Some of his demos are amazing. I think that would be OK. But I guess it depends on the quality. But as a musician, I like people to hear the finished product. Its not a deal breaker for me, its more of a philosophical difference I guess. The process of creating music is fantastic, as an artist, but theres got to be some privacy there.
