Did Andy Wood write lyrics to Footsteps / Times of Trouble music?

LastStopOnTheWestCoastLine

Might be misunderstanding but while listening to PJ Radio recently, I think I heard Eddie introduce Footsteps by saying "...Chris Cornell wrote lyrics to it. Andy Wood wrote lyrics to it..."

Did I hear right? If yes, what's the song?

I always thought the music in the Mamasan tape demo (Alive/Once/Footsteps) was written by Stone after Andy passed away.. but who knows? Maybe he had that riff/song down and ready to use for MLB too, and maybe there's an unknown demo with Andy singin on it.. but if so, why not putting it on the MLB boxset released some years ago?

So, to answer your question, if something like that exists, it's not been released or circulated.

Also another possibility is, if Eddie really said that, you know, he may have just drank a little too much that night.

That was from Charlottesville after they played Footsteps, whether there is any truth to it or whether Ed was just rambling is beyond my knowledge.

Oh wow my Youtube recommendations answered this question (title is misleading because Ed is singing Footsteps but he mentions Andy and Stone confirms the story)!


I so wish there's a recording of Andy Wood's version.
