RIP Chris Cornell

[Lead Pipe]

It's like I never knew you at all

I never liked the early 90's grunge sound. Nirvana is over rated, STP, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains..... I preferred the punkier stuff.

Some of his covers were pretty good.

Some of his covers were pretty good.

Some of his acoustic covers were better than the originals.

DAMN! Way too freakin young for this kind of shit.

However like lead, I wasn't a big fan either (just wasn't in to that "grunge" / "Seattle" thing back in the early to mid 90's). A few (Spoonman to name one) are good. However, I do respect his body of work.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Very few come to mind that i like.

Nothing from audio slave, nothing live....

Basically temple songs, rusty cage, spoon man, etc

Rumors from Detroit radio stations are saying it was suicide. God I hope not.

From TMZ:

5:34 AM PT -- TMZ has confirmed with police the family friend had to force his way into Cornell's room and found him with a band around his neck. We're told there was no blood, and police suspect suicide based on the scene.

Sad if it was intentional.

 

[Yaj Yak]

sad either way really.

From WOMC (the station I listen to when I'm there) has links to some of the performances last night in case anyone wants to save them off somewhere;

Appears confirmed now. Suicide by hanging. Really makes you wonder what sent him to that point. Few hours earlier on stage appearing normal. Then suddenly decides to end it all.

Suicide sucks. It really leaves the living behind to simply wonder

 

[Mook]

Could have been manic depressive. I'd imagine most musicians are to some degree

 

[CMNTMXR57]

That and the mind influencing things like alchohol and drugs don't help.

The Fox now is playing either a Soundgarden, Audioslave or whatever song with him in it, about every other song.

 

[BS ISF]

RIP!!! fucking great musician!!!!

 

[Stink Star]

Welp now my favorite soungarden song sounds offensive. Pretty noose

 

[AWDCD3]

He fought depression and addiction most of his adult life. I guess that the demons won, in this case. I really feel for his children. Such a fucking waste.

It is a head scratch

No different than Kurt Cobain and "Come as you are"

No, I don't have a gun

Repeated multiple times.

David Carradine answers that call.

 

[AWDCD3]

As did Michael Hutchence of INXS.

 

[Marko]

The guy was obviously fucked up from drugs

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

The guy was obviously fucked up from drugs

But he has been sober for awhile now...

Been down all day about this ever since I found out this morning. It's a real shame. Cornell was such a talented artist. When I started thinking back today, I can tie so many soundgarden/audioslave songs to different moments in my life And Id have to say audioslave is probably one of my favorite bands of all time. Sucks.

I may just have to dust off my ps2 this weekend and fire up some ATV Offroad Fury. [MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] knows.

Sad day indeed. Unfortunately, the very thing that fuels the artistry that musicians on this level can create is also the very thing that can lead them down this sad path. Deeply routed issues resulting in drug and alcohol abuse. That's why so many of the greats go out way too early.

I never cared for most of the grunge scene, either. Not a fan of Nirvana, STP, etc, though I did like the whole Ten album from Pearl Jam as well as a lot of Alice in Chains. Sound Garden was OK, but I actually preferred Audioslave, especially the first self-titled album. Love the song Like a Stone.

Curious to see if the full autopsy reveals any additional info.

 

[IDAFC21]

I actually preferred Audioslave, especially the first self-titled album. Love the song Like a Stone.

Like a stone is by far my favorite audioslave song. I know it doesnt completely "showcase" all the talent thats encompassed within that band, but its just a fantastic song.

 

[Mook]

One of my all time favorite movie scenes and my fav Audioslave song.
