IIRC Temple of the Dog was a collaboration of Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone (Apple is a great album) after MLB's singer died. Eddie wasn't that involved and not on the scene yet. Since that project got big after Pearl Jam's success, people assumed it was Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, but that wasn't the case.

they were recording the album when rest of MLB was auditioning Eddie. Rumor has it he was either humming or singing the chorus and one of the group maybe Chris asked him to come in and sing the backing vocals.

http://consequenceofsound.net/2016/07/say-hello-to-heaven-temple-of-the-dog-turns-25/ - review of the album and its influence.

Yea Eddie will be there for the Seattle show that's a given, question is the other dates.. he'll make an appearance or two. Much like Chris did on one of Pearl Jams show and they launched into Hunger Strike.


More backing info - yes its wiki but the quote is from a Spin article.
"Hunger Strike" was written by vocalist Chris Cornell. It features a duet between Cornell and vocalist Eddie Vedder. Cornell was having trouble with the vocals at practice, when Vedder stepped in. Cornell later said "he sang half of that song not even knowing that I'd wanted the part to be there and he sang it exactly the way I was thinking about doing it, just instinctively."[2]

Cornell on the song:

When we started rehearsing the songs, I had pulled out "Hunger Strike" and I had this feeling it was just kind of gonna be filler, it didn't feel like a real song. Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a (Mookie Blaylock) rehearsal and I was singing parts, and he kind of humbly—but with some balls—walked up to the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard. We got through a couple choruses of him doing that and suddenly the light bulb came on in my head, this guy's voice is amazing for these low parts. History wrote itself after that, that became the single.[3]

...from Worthington no less! I'm pretty sure they played Pink Floyd over the PA every morning at Kilbourne back then. My sophomore English teacher was actually the first one to turn me on to the band.

Crap, since you say "Kilbourne" I know you are younger than me. Kilbourne for me was the Freshmen school.

Also, to relate to the thread, most people thought I was the weird guy for the music I listened to, then senior year, suddenly they were all fanboys. Fakers.
