SEATTLE singer Shaina Shepherd has told Hot Metal readers in an online exchange: “I could never front Soundgarden”.
The vocalist was responding on HM‘s Facebook page to our followers’ commenting about her performance with the grunge icons at a December 14 charity performance in Showbox in Seattle, during which she performed six songs over half an our, with Guns N’Roses bassist Duff McKagan also joining the group on stage.
Shepherd, who fronts soul/grunge act Bearaxe, took to the comments under our post about her performance, saying: “Haters gonna hate while I live my dream.”
When HM reader Paul Mayo defended his right to express an opinion without being accused of hate, Shepherd responded: “Soundgarden is a revolutionary band that changed my life, your life, the world.
“I could never front Soundgarden. But I love making music with those guys. I did it for me, for them like any other music endeavor. I don’t care what any of you think – never did. I care what they think – always will. This whole article is meaningless. Just like your timeline.”
Shepherd responded to other disparaging comments with “cool”, “nice”, “OK” and “dope” while a positive comment was met with “bet!”
The alliance of Kim Thayil, Matt Cameron, Ben Shepherd and the other Shepherd appears to have been a one-off, although a new Soundgarden album is widely reported to be in the works.
Meanwhile, Shaina Shepherd’s personal music website is off-line.
