Two of the best singers in rock n’ roll share the same stage again…

We’re all massive grunge fans here at JOE Towers and we still refuse to wear any shirt that isn’t checked, ripped or has holes in it.

There is also the small matter that some of our favourite bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden all came from that genre but Temple of the Dog are a band that some people forget about.

The band were formed by Chris Cornell in 1990 and featured current Pearl Jam members Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, plus frontman Eddie Vedder on backing vocals.

The Soundgarden singer joined Pearl Jam live on stage at Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit Concert over the weekend to perform the bands ’91 single Hunger Strike.

Take a look.
