Following Soundgarden's recent nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the band's guitarist Kim Thayil has responded to the rockers' recommendation. In addition, the musician considered possibilities for future Soundgarden reissues as well as unreleased material from the group.

This summer, Soundgarden will release Soundgarden: Live from the Artists Den, a live concert film and album produced in conjunction with the Chris Cornell Estate, Universal Music and Artists Den, a music series that stages intimate concerts by influential artists.
