RIP Chris Cornell - Soundgarden/Audioslave
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
My wife is of Armenian heritage; we recently saw "The Promise" film, and I was impressed that he did the end credits music. He leaves behind an incredible body of work. SG was putting the Seattle music scene on the map way before Nirvana came along and took all the credit. How many people can boast that Johnny Cash covered their song?
Trent Reznor, for one... =0)
Back to CC - I agree with the person who imagined Chris singing particular songs. One song I wrote some years ago, the sound in my head was always 100% Cornell on vocals. Not that I could ever do that voice justice (I did Hunger Strike a bunch of years ago and couldn't do his high notes; did Fell On Black Days at karaoke once and had FORGOTTEN there were high parts I couldn't do; and so on)

This one hurts, Chris was easily in my top 2 favorite voices of all time. It feels like a part of my youth died today.
Sorry. I don't mean to be a douchebag and I know several other people answered your question but it's in the second paragraph of the article linked in the OP. Not hard to miss. Again, I don't mean to be a douche.
Agreed, but I guess I thought those guys had to string themselves up to do what they were trying to do, and they accidentally hanged themselves. Hutchence certainly did. I have no idea what the details were for Cornell though.
For any who don't know all their material / only know a little, who like bass, or just want something fitting to listen to, please check out Overfloater off Down on the Upside.
Propsed new TB rule:
Each celebrity death should be allowed three threads: one for tearful goodbyes and fan tributes; one for conjecturing as to cause of death; and a third reserved for haters and trolls.
As it stands, given a lone RIP thread, this disparate mix of content always co-exists uneasily.

You may be right, however, people hang themselves all the time. Robin Williams, Aaron Hernandez, people I've known, etc...
Wayne County Coroner confirms that Cornell hanged himself. Awful.
Of course. The initial report was that he was found with a "band around his neck", suggesting that he garroted himself - that's what I was questioning. It looks like he did it the old fashioned way though.
Damn RIP. That means Eddie is the only grunge movement front-man remaining....
Well, except for Neil Young, of course.
RIP Chris, and thanks for all the great music.
