Soundgarden to Take a Piece of Seattle with Them at Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
When Soundgarden is inducted into the prestigious Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next month, it's not going to be just the band on stage. The ceremony will feature an impressive lineup that highlights the Pacific Northwest roots of the legendary rock outfit.
As revealed during a recent interview with the Seattle Times, Heart's Nancy Wilson, Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell and Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready will join Soundgarden at the iconic Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 8. The band is determined to keep it as "Seattle-centric" as possible, reflecting their hometown pride.
"We wanted to include some people that were there with us in the beginning," said drummer Matt Cameron. The inductees also mentioned that Chris Cornell's legacy will be an integral part of the celebration, as he was always a driving force behind the band's artistry.
Kim Thayil expressed his emotional connection to this milestone: "The appreciation of that shared pride...I might have an understanding of the band's accomplishments. But to see the enthusiasm with family — and certainly with the fans — and the pride, that changes the understanding entirely."
For Cameron, the ceremony marks a new chapter in their journey, as they will be recognized for their contributions alongside some of rock music's most iconic figures.
The ceremony promises to be an unforgettable experience, featuring a diverse lineup including Mick Fleetwood, Janelle Monáe, Bryan Adams, and many others. When the news was first announced, Cameron reflected on how it would change their understanding of themselves as artists: "I think Chris would have really enjoyed this moment of recognition...He was always seeking that next phase of his writing career."
The event is also expected to be emotionally charged for fans of the late frontman, who will forever be remembered as a visionary musician.
Rock Hall inductees include Cyndi Lauper, the White Stripes, Outkast, and more. The ceremony will take place on November 8 at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater and promises to be an unforgettable experience for rock music fans worldwide.

! it's so awesome that they're keeping it Seattle-centric, you know, hometown pride and all that 
i mean, who wouldn't wanna see some of their fave bands like Heart, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam on stage with them 
it's gonna be such an emotional celebration for fans of Chris Cornell, RIP 
i'm sure he'd've loved this moment of recognition too 
matt cameron said it best - seeing the enthusiasm from family and fans is what makes all this feel so special 
let's give Soundgarden a huge welcome to Rock Hall - they deserve it! 
it's gonna be lit! they're keepin it seattl-centric and celebratin chris cornell's legacy, which is super important to them 
matt cameron said it best - "we wanted to include some people that were there with us in the beginning" and kim thayil just mentioned how emotional this whole experience is for him 
can't wait to see nancy wilson & jerry cantrell and mike mccready bring that pacific northwest pride on stage 
and matt cameron's right, it's not just about the band, but also about chris cornell's legacy and how he inspired them all 
its not just about heart and aics lol those ppl r cool n all but come on its soundgarden we should rep our own city properly 
another legendary band getting inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame... but is it too late? 
Chris Cornell's legacy lives on, but the world might never see his genius again 
Soundgarden's induction is gonna be emotional, especially for fans who saw him perform live 
. Meanwhile, the lineup looks solid with Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam, but I'm still worried about the state of music 
is it just a nostalgia trip? 
! It's gonna be a blast celebratin' their Seattle roots with all those talented artists on stage 
! And it's so cool that they're keepin' the ceremony "Seattle-centric" - it's only right to give props to Chris Cornell's legacy 
!
, and it's amazing they're keeping it 100% Seattle-centric 
! nancy wilson from heart, jerry cantrell from alice in chains, and mike mccready from pearl jam are all performing with them - what a dream come true 
. can't wait to see the diverse lineup, including mick fleetwood, janelle monáe, and bryan ads 
. My fave part is when Matt Cameron says Chris would've loved this moment of recognition - gives me chills every time 
and Matt Cameron's got those drums on point 
, can't wait to watch it and see all those iconic artists on stage together 
I don't get why they need all these other bands there...I mean, it's just gonna feel like a big party or something. Can't they just leave the inductees alone with their own thing? It feels like they're trying to outdo each other with who's "most connected" to Seattle. And what about all the other cities that have contributed to Soundgarden's success? I don't want to be a buzzkill, but it seems kinda exclusionary. 
and i'm sure chris cornell's legacy will be felt all night long
