JANUARY 1, 2010 – Singer/songwriter Chris Cornell (July 20, 1964 – May 18, 2017) alluded to a Soundgarden reunion via his Twitter account, writing: “The 12-year break is over and school is back in session. Sign up now. Knights of the Soundtable ride again!” The message was linked to a website that featured a picture of the group performing live and a place for fans to enter their e-mail addresses to get updates on the reunion. Entering that information unlocked an archival video for the song “Get on the Snake” from Soundgarden’s second studio album, 1989’s “Louder Than Love.” Soundgarden played its first show since 1997 on April 16th at the Showbox at the Market in the band’s hometown of Seattle, and Lollapalooza on August 8th.
