Formed in 1990, Seattle

Following the March 1990 heroin overdose of Andrew Wood, lead singer of Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog was put together as a tribute by friend and one-time room-mate, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and Wood's bandmates Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament.  The band's lineup was completed by the addition of  drummer Matt Cameron (Soundgarden/Pearl Jam) and future Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready.  Eddie Vedder, who had recently auditioned for Pearl Jam provided some lead and much of the backup vocals.   "Hunger Strike" became a duet between Cornell and Vedder.   Temple of the Dog was named after the lyrics in the Mother Love Bone song, "Man of Golden Words".  The album was recorded in two weeks and was produced by the band themselves.
