Soundgarden has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, with guitarist Kim Thayil expressing gratitude for the recognition. He believes that late lead singer Chris Cornell would have been immensely proud of this achievement. Thayil reflects on his initial skepticism of the Hall, influenced by his punk rock roots. However, he acknowledges that Cornell's experiences with the Hall reshaped his views, emphasizing the importance of fan appreciation and community recognition in their musical journey.
Chris realized how important it was to be appreciated by the fans and peers. He understood it would be important to us too.
I came from a subculture of rock that didn't quite get what all the fuss is about regarding the Hall of Fame.
Chris lived the experience of the induction and the enthusiasm of the fans was eye-opening for him.
I think he’d be very appreciative and thankful to all the people who believed in him and our work.
