Hiro Yamamoto

Hiro Yamamoto (ヒロ・ヤマモト) (born April 13, 1961) is an Americanmusician. He is a bassist. In 1984, he began the grungebandSoundgarden along with Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell. In 1989, he left the band after the completion of the Louder Than Love recording sessions.[1]

Chris Cornell said about the recording of the album, "At the time Hiro had excommunicated himself from the band and there wasn't a free-flowing system as far as music went, so I ended up writing a lot of it."[2] Yamamoto was becoming frustrated that he wasn't contributing much, and opted to go back to college.[1] Cornell also said, "It seems an odd time to quit. We're doing real well. We've got a touring budget now. We don't haul amps or do such long van rides any more."[1]

One year later, he started the independentrock band Truly with Screaming Trees drummer Mark Pickerel and Robert Roth from The Storybook Krooks.
