Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron was back onstage performing songs from his legendary grunge band yesterday, October 03rd. Once again flanked by Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, this latest performance also saw Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine fame and Robbie Mangano take part. That collective performed a trio of Soundgarden staples, including “Loud Love“, “Outshined” and “Spoonman” during their time onstage at Morello‘s ‘Power To The People‘ festival in Columbia, MD.
Morello said ahead of the set:
“Soundgarden redeemed hard rock and metal music by unapologetically embracing thunderous riffs and melding them with deep, dark, soul-searching poetry that opened the door for generations of artists who felt empowered to use their brains along with their musical brawn. They were a huge influence on many of the artists playing today. To celebrate Chris Cornell and Soundgarden, I’d like to introduce Matt Cameron, Mike McCready, Taylor Momsen, and Robbie Mangano, the Suns Of Soundgarden.”
Momsen and McCready were also among the guests to perform with Soundgarden last month during an NFL halftime show in Soundgarden‘s hometown of Seattle, WA.
