STEALING BREAD
FROM THE MOUTHS
BUT I CAN'T FEED ON
WHEN MY CUP'S
Temple of the Dog
is the only
studio album
by the American
rock band
released on
April 16, 1991,
through A&M Records.
It is a tribute to
Andrew Wood,
the former lead singer
of
Malfunkshun
and
Mother Love Bone,
who died on
March 19, 1990,
of a heroin overdose.
The album has been
certified platinum
by the RIAA
in the
United States.
Background
Soundgarden
frontman
Chris Cornell,
who had been
Mother Love Bone
vocalist
Andrew Wood's
roommate,
approached former
Mother Love Bone
members
Stone Gossard
and
Jeff Ament
about working on
material he had written
when he was on tour
with
Soundgarden
in Europe.
The line-up eventually
included
Soundgarden
drummer
Matt Cameron
and newcomers
Mike McCready
(lead guitar)
and
Eddie Vedder
(background vocals).
McCready
and Vedder
were featured on
the album
due to their involvement
with Ament
and Gossard's
next project,
which became
Pearl Jam.
The name
Temple of the Dog
is derived from
the opening lyrics
of the
Mother Love Bone song
"Man of Golden Words":
"Wanna show you something,
like joy inside my heart.
Seems I been living
in the
temple of the dog".
