308.0. "Temple of the Dog" by MSDOA::BLAIR (It's 11 years and I'm shiftin' gears) Wed Oct 14 1992 16:32

    
    	I heard a tune by Temple of the Dog that I liked.  Any comments 
    	on the cd and group?  I mean, I know they're a Seattle band.
    	Was it a one album shot?

    Okay, let's see if I have the chronology right.  There was a band
    called Mother Love Bone whose lead singer died of an overdose.  Members
    of MLB and Soundgarden recorded a CD in tribute to him and they called
    themselves Temple of the Dog.  Some of the members of Temple of the
    Dog, Mike McCready, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ahment went on to form Pearl
    Jam.  Pearl Jam's lead singer, Eddie Vedder, does some backing vocals
    on TOTD.  Did I get it right all you Seattle music scene experts? 8^)

    That sounds correct....Also in TOTD was Matt Camaron (drums) and
    Chris Cornell (vocals) both from Soundgarden.

    This is one solid album.  Chris Cornell wrote all the lyrics and most
    of the music.  It's hard to say if it is a one shot deal, but all those
    in TOTD are currently in HOT other bands, and that all this was written
    and recorded before Pearl Jam's "ten" was released.  Who knows, after
    all, all those guys have been friends for a good 10 years or so, I just
    hope it doesn't require another death to inspire more music of that
    caliber.

    What's lead?  On "Hunger Strike", there is only one verse, and it is
    sung first by Chris Cornell (the lead vocalist for the rest of the
    album, and, of course, of Soundgarden).  The verse is then repeated by
    Eddie Vedder.  After this there is much "Question and Answer" with the
    phrase "I'm going hungry" initiated by Vedder and responded by Cornell.
    More of a duet really, and he is backup on a couple other tunes.  I
    wouldn't put either of them down vocally for a second, both very
    distinctive (I'd kind of like to hear Chris Cornell do an old Rush
    cover, I think he's got just the right edge to pull it off).
