According to The Pulse Of Radio, SOUNDGARDEN, PEARL JAM and TEMPLE OF THE DOG drummer Matt Cameron told Radio.com that the 25th anniversary reissue of the latter group's self-titled 1991 album may contain previously unreleased material. Cameron explained: "I think there's probably alternate takes, and I think Chris [Cornell, TEMPLE OF THE DOG and SOUNDGARDEN singer] made demos. But his demos are pretty freaking cool. Some of his demos are amazing. I think that would be okay. But I guess it depends on the quality. But as a musician, I like people to hear the finished product. It's not a dealbreaker for me, it's more of a philosophical difference, I guess. The process of creating music is fantastic, as an artist, but there's got to be some privacy there."

Cameron admitted he's not a fan of allowing fans to hear music at every step of the creative process, saying: "I do not enjoy the current philosophy, where it's sort of expected that you release all of your outtakes and rehearsals and demos, I really don't like that aspect of it at all… But I guess as a fan, it's cool to hear the inner workings of how a record gets made."

The drummer told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that SOUNDGARDEN has a fairly straightforward method of writing songs. "The way we've always written is four guys in a room just slamming it out. A lot of times Chris would write complete songs and he would record a demo and we'd learn his demos, and then sort of add our own spice to it, so to speak. But you know, everyone writes music in this group and that's been a pretty huge benefit for us as a band over the years."

Cameron hinted that SOUNDGARDEN is actually assembling a deluxe reissue of its classic 1991 album "Badmotorfinger", which may also feature what he described as "a lot of really cool outtakes and things like that."

SOUNDGARDEN is releasing vinyl reissues of its "Louder Than Love" and "Down On The Upside" albums next month, but they are bare-bones releases with no bonus material.

    ^ I'm ok with that. That gives Soundgarden some time in the studio.

    I'm at the point where I just want more tours from PJ and the new albums are a nice bonus if they happen.

    Awesome! Makes me wish they'd held off on the recent album reissue. Sounds like I might be forced to buy it again if I want the new material. That's irritating.
