Ben Shepherd. A musicians musician. Soundgarden’s secret weapon. No disrespect to Hiro intended, but once Ben came aboard, with his skills & songwriting ability, I feel Soundgarden moved to another level .
You know you’ve got a real artist when the journalist starts talking about what genre they fit into, and the artist responds with some version of “I don’t know what the fuck you are talking about and don’t really care either”. As Ben did at the end of this interview. 😎
Is this interview from before the final show in Detroit at the Fox theater? It looks like the FOX theatre and the time is about the same time Chris passed.
I wish there were more interviews with/of this guy.... [most bout er thang he has to say is worth attending] Not a take i share per the entirety of what this profession has to offer.

Ben, Soundgarden's unsung hero. His bass playing, his songwriting, this man is a treasure
Ben is awesome. Truly awesome.

Beautiful, talented soul
His playing is so melodic and heavy. Fresh tendrils is perfection. Limo wreck too. Totally sg’s secret weapon.
"That's a long philosophical bullshit session that I know we dont have time for"

Had no idea he grew up in Kingston, WA. I grew up in Edmonds, WA and always looked over the bay and think of Kingston.
Ayo Edmonds represent!
I always thought he grew up in Bainbridge.
He is a great human being
I wholeheartedly concur. Hope you're keeping well. Greetings from London x
