They released a new album what, maybe 5, 6 months ago? It didn't go over like the first one did, though. That's one of the things about the current state of music I dislike.... it's hard to find bands with staying power, or is it the fickle ass public, not supporting them?
My own "whatever happened to" would be former Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayill. Fucking brilliant man...... and since SG disbanded, haven't heard shit from him. 
mmmmmm...Chris Cornell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, you were saying something about some other guy??? Can't be bothered...mmmmm ...Chris Cornell!!!!! Yummy...... i gotta "black hole" for ya' won't you cum...won't you cu-u-um....
Cornell can count his lucky stars Thayil (one "L", unlike my first post's two) was in the band. That's all I'm saying.
Post Soundgarden:

After the demise of Soundgarden, Thayil went on to contribute guitar to work by Pigeonhed and Presidents of the United States of America. More recently, he contributed guitar to the track "Blood Swamp" from the 2006 SunnO)))/Boris album Altar, for which he also wrote liner notes.
In 1999, Thayil formed a punk band, the No WTO Combo, with Jello Biafra (formerly of Dead Kennedys), Krist Novoselic (formerly of Nirvana, at the time a member of Sweet 75), and Gina Mainwal (also of Sweet 75). The band was formed to celebrate and further the rampant protest activity against the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999, which was held on November 30, 1999. Originally scheduled to play at the Showbox on that same evening, police prevented the band from doing so, forcing the show to be rescheduled for the following night. This was Thayil's first live concert since the breakup of Soundgarden. The show was recorded and mixed by Soundgarden producer Jack Endino; it was released as the album Live from the Battle in Seattle in May 2000.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named Thayil #100 on the list of the "100 greatest guitarists of all time".[1]
In 2004, Thayil played guitar for Probot, Dave Grohl's heavy metal side-project; he was featured on the songs "Ice Cold Man" and "Sweet Dreams."
