The main Knights of the Sound Table announcement revolves around problems that the band have had with their merchandising and back-catalogue since they split, as A&M Records also went under and there were huge problems with their manager (and Chris' ex-wife). In all this kerfuffle, all the rights the band had to anything were lost in legal red tape, which is why so little stuff has surfaced since the split.
As Kim Thayil mentioned in an interview with Rolling Stone in the summer (just after reforming for 3 songs as Tadgarden, with Tad Doyle replacing Chris), this is pretty much resolved now so the fanclub can be reopened, they can start making and selling T-Shirts again, and the boxset of various rarities, B-Sides (of which there are many), film soundtracks, their John Peel Session and a few unreleased tracks (Dirt Candy, Ocean Fronts, No Shame, Summation and Open Up amongst others) and remixes by Bill Rieflin, Steve Fisk and Moby.
His final comment regarding a possible full reunion is rather telling:
quote:
People would have to want to. I think more importantly, tending to the merchandising catalog is something that would be satisfying for the band members and for the fans. I never say never ... but I'm not losing too much sleep over it, either.
So it's possible that it could happen given the online response so far - and the ease in which Tom Morello was able to coax at least 3 members of Soundgarden's Mark III lineup to join in. It's not guaranteed though.
