Chris Cornell

[Buildermike]

This has been a bad decade so far being a musician.

Gutted. One of my idols. I'll be in the corner

No effin' way! Couldn't believe it when I heard it this morning...

 

[ViperDoc]

What in the actual f&ck. Cranking Badmotorfinger now.

Totally stunned to see this when I woke up. Way, way too young.

RIP.

Dark as roses and fine as sand
I feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry

Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish or
recollections
of better days gone by

But it's all right

When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh It's all right

When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh It's all right

Though your garden's gray
I know all your graces
Some day will flower
In the sweet sunshower

Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights

But it's all right

When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh It's all right

When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right

Though your garden's gray
I know all your graces
Some day will flower
In the sweet sunshower

All you'll be you are today

RIP Chris. One of my favorite bands(SG)...love the odd meter, odd tunings and compositions of the songs. Chris had phenomenal tone and a legendary voice for my(or any) generation. Love that he did whatever he wanted in his solo career, not being bound to any style. Throw in Audioslave, the guy accomplished a hell of a lot. I got to see Soundgarden a few times. Here's a pic from 2011 in Chicago:

Just horrifying. Heard the news on the radio on the drive to work this morning. My heart skipped a beat, and took my breath away. So sad. Probably one of my favorite singers ever. What a range. He and Eddie Vedder singing Hungry Strike for Temple of the Dog remains one of my favorite songs. RIP Chris. You and your work will be GREATLY missed.

Unbelievable.
Hard to even imagine the great music he would have continued to go on making.
This one hurts...a lot.

I was hoping they'd do another record. I still go back and listen to the old ones from time to time. One acoustic show I did a cover of Like Suicide. Maybe our next show we'll do that one.

Also, I once played his sig model in a store, still kick myself for not buying it even though it wasn't a PRS and I didn't have the money for it. It played great and sounded amazing with those LollarTron pickups.

Guy I used to work with played drums in a band called 11:11 in the Chicago area a number of years back. They were playing a show on the small stage at the House of Blues and we're getting ready to play an SG song. They announce the number to the crowd. Guy walks up to the side of the stage and asks if they want some help with this one....yup, it was Chris Cornell. Cool experience!

Terrible news. My thoughts are with his family.

Soundgarden was a giant influence on me in every direction. I can't imagine there's a record I've listened to more times than I have Superunknown.

RIP, Chris.

 

[flux]

Such awful news. I'm crushed by the tragic loss of such an amazing talent, and can't even imagine what his family must be going through.

R.I.P.

very sad news! RIP

 

[HANGAR18]

and the news just goes from bad to worse where MSN and others reporting that his death was suicide. Meanwhile his web site still shows that he has a sold out show tomorrow in Columbus OH.

Suicide is never the answer. Absolutely never.

I loved his singing...
