I think the dude from the Melvins is still around. Not that they were as popular as any of the MTV bands, but they were influential.

RIP Chris Cornell - Soundgarden/Audioslave
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
I was just sad, but now I'm sad and angry. I hope whatever demons were haunting him are now quiet and I really hope his family won't feel they are to blame. I just can't imagine what they are going through.
I remember hanging out at Mabel's in Champaign Urbana and Voivod, L7, and Soundgarden were playing. I got to hang for the soundcheck and mingle... Great times...
Wow, the music world is taking some hits in all genres these days... It's sad, and you think... Is the Grim Reaper having an exceptional harvest or what?

Very sad. This one, to me, hurts much more than Bowie, Cohen, even Prince. An integral piece of the sound of my late high school and early adult life.
Very sad
There's Mark Lanegan from the Screaming Tree's, he just released a new album.
Wow, sudden and shocking.
I was (and remain) a huge Soundgarden fan, they helped legitimize 90's pop rock for me. One of the consistently best bands from that era.
RIP Chris. Your talent and voice will never be forgotten.

I felt that way about Robin Williams also. Not sure what was going on in their minds, but if they fully understood how important they were to how many people, how much joy they created...you'd think maybe that would have helped.
Very sad indeed. RIP Chris Cornell. The stigma of mental illness (if this is the case here), has destroyed too many.
I woke up to this news and was extremely saddened. I had just put all the Soundgarden albums on my iphone and was going to have a soundgarden fest for the next couple days. Still am, but its from a different angle now. I loved them from day one and they were instrumental in my playing. It a sad day. They were one of my tops. Im just totally saddened.
Although the lyrics usually had a darker tone to them, it seems all the more relevant and, in my mind, telling as to how he viewed life.
With all the people drugs took out it's extra tough to know he was in such pain that he ended it all himself. I understand depression, but there was always someone to talk to. There always is. Hopefully one of these tragedies will be a springboard for some paradigm change. "Dead rock star" has become too regular a phrase. Grunge lost it's last great front man. Kurt, Scott, Layne...
Oh, crap, how couldnt forget him. Okay. One left. Hope we didn't jinx the man. Someone send a doctor to his home to make sure he's in good health and good spirits.
