Didja hear it?

FINALLY ... tomorrow is the day!!

As Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell hits the road to make up a few missed dates on his solo ‘Songbook’ tour, it’s hard to avoid questions about the new Soundgarden and the excitement surrounding it.

Soundgarden unleashed ‘Live to Rise‘ — their first 100 percent new recording in 15 years — yesterday (April 4) and if it wasn’t what you expected, don’t worry. Singer Chris Cornell says that the song is not necessarily for the band’s hardcore contingent, but their forthcoming album on the other hand will be for the fans who live and breathe Soundgarden.

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell recently weighed in on the “rock is dead” argument, opened up about his own experiences with drug abuse and marvels at how 70′s rockers could “be completely f—ed up all the time and still function.”

Iconic Nine Inch Nails pioneer Trent Reznor has been nominated for yet another Golden Globe Award for his work with longtime collaborator Atticus Ross, scoring ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.’ The duo captured the 2011 ‘Best Original Score’ Golden Globe for the music from ‘The Social Network,’ and are looking to achieve back-to-back wins in 2012.

Soundgarden fans, rejoice! Chris Cornell recently told Billboard.com that the new Soundgarden album is “mostly done.” He went on to say that, “We just need to finish a couple of songs and mix it, so that will be happening probably over the holidays.”

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell will hit the road this April and May on his first ever solo acoustic tour, "Songbook".  He'll be playing songs from his entire career, and some covers.
