Finally, after a long hiatus from Grunge Summit posts, I have found the motivation to reveal the last two grungers in the installment—Kim Thayil and Jeff Ament, quite a dapper duo.

What Kim Thayil Had To Say

1.What is your current occupation?
blank

2.Do people ever come up to you and ask for your autograph?
Yes

3.What do you think of the current state of music?
Bad time for record labels, great time to listen to music! Greater number and variety of artists, genres, listening formats, and avenunes of distribution.

5.Lichens The Psychic Nature Of Being
6.Osaka Popstar

5.When you meet new people, do you find that all they want to do is talk with you about grunge? Are you tired of talking about grunge?
No. It depends upon the circumstances.

2.Do people ever come up to you and ask for your autograph?
I get mistaken for Stone Gossard.

Better than ever.

5.When you meet new people, do you find that all they want to do is talk with you about grunge? Are you tired of talking about grunge?
I was tired 15 years ago. It’s fine now…
“Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”

    He's done some guest appearances on albums, but he never joined another band.

    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    Now that I'm looking at the picture again, I can't tell how they photoshopped him into the Cinnabon shirt...is there a picture of him wearing a Slipknot jumpsuit that they could have added the logo to? The neck/shirt boundary looks perfect.

    "At first it was pretty awkward and none of them seemed like they were really into it," said Al Helbling, 30, a Northgate Mall Sam Goody employee and Soundgarden fan. "But then the drummer comes in and right after that the bass player comes in, and it was like, 'Yes, Soundgarden is back.' It was so intense."

    Made me lol.
