Temple of the Dog members Chris Cornell and Mike McCready discussed the future of the band with Rolling Stone.

“We’d have to feel really great about the songs,” says Cornell. “It’s a scary thing. I don’t want to say they’d have to live up to the [first] album, but I wouldn’t want it to take away from it either. It was the same issue with reforming Soundgarden. I’m super excited about writing new songs as long as we don’t detract from what came before, and ultimately we did that. I think the same thing would apply to Temple.”

Cornell and McCready also discussed the possibility of Eddie Vedder rejoining the band.

“I can’t say anything about that,” says McCready. “I don’t know if he is, and that’s kind of up to him. I would love it if he did.” Adds Cornell: “I don’t think that’s even been discussed, but we certainly haven’t planned on it.”
