Soundgarden will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on November 8, alongside The White Stripes, Bad Company, Joe Cocker, OutKast, Cyndi Lauper and Chubby Checker. And in a new interview with Rolling Stone, guitarist Kim Thayil reveals that rock and metal artists he believes should be granted the same acknowledgement from the music industry.
Thayil freely admits to writer Andy Greene that seeing the Seattle band inducted into the Rock Hall "just wasn’t something that was on my radar as a goal".
