Here are two excerpts from TheAquarian.com‘s new interview with Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil:

On shooting the By Crooked Steps music video directed by Dave Grohl: “It was fine. We’re not good at being told what to do, and Dave is really good at not telling us what to do. He just said, ‘This is what I wrote, do you want to do it?’ It was a pretty good idea. It went really well; no conflicts, no friction. Sometimes directors want you to be actors or stuntmen; I just want to play guitar and Dave being a musician understands.”

On if there will be another Soundgarden album: “Yeah, I think there will be. I am really proud of ourselves that we can be angry on stage, and express our emotions with our guitars and with our drums, whether it’s anger or wistful.”
