These were posted in the comments of our original news item on the Ben Shepherd/Matt Cameron/Kim Thayil/Tad Doyle collaboration that went down in Seattle the other night, but in case you’re having a problem keeping up with your fellow readers’ bloviatings, I decided to pull them out and let them shine. “Hunted Down,” the leadoff track from Soundgarden’s Screaming Life EP, is above; “Nothing To Say” and “Spoonman” after the jump. The band still slays; Doyle’s vocals are certainly different than original Soundgarden vocalist Chris Cornell’s, but I think it all fits, in some sort of alternate-Pacific-Northwest way.
“Spoonman” (with bonus “FUCK CORNELL!” from the crowd)

I’m a huge Soundgarden fan, but this stinks. Just a tad off.
A stage full of musicians scorned by Cornell. This is just brilliant.
Tad is still quite a large fellow isn’t he?
Kim Thayil looks tuff.
