Adem Tepedelen (Kim Thayil Biographer) - EP210 - The Creative Asylum

In this episode, I sit down with an old friend, rock journalist and author Adem Tepedelen to dig into his latest and most anticipated project: Screaming Life: Into the Superunknown with Soundgarden and Beyond, which is the authorized autobiography of Kim Thayil of Soundgarden which Adem worked on with Kim over the period of three years. Adem discusses how the project came to fruition - writinga book with one of heavy music’s most innovative guitarists, unpacking the stories, history, and creative evolution that shaped a cornerstone band of the Seattle sound. We talk how the book captures both the myth and the reality of a key member of an underground scene that changed rock music forever.We also explore Tepedelen’s broader career as a respected rock and roll author, discussing his previous published books, Mud Ride: A Messy Trip Through the Grunge Explosion, with Steve Turner of Mudhoney and A Fabulous Disaster: From the Garage to Madison Square Garden, the Hard Way with Gary Holt of Exodus and more recently, Slayer.  * * * * PLEASE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Website: https://www.TheCApod.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCApod/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/CreativeAsylumCA/ Hosted on Acast.
