RIP Chris Cornell

[tdrink]

Dead at 52.

We've heard the last of his 4 octave range.

 

[B1GEast]

Just about to post this.

Wow, shocked. Great voice and lead singer. Unbelievable.

 

[YearoftheHusky]

Just terrible what has happened to the 90s grunge scene. Someone needs to put Vedder and the Meat Puppets in bubble wrap.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Cornell and Scott Weiland we're two of the better voices from the 90's.

Fell on black days?

One of the best voices in the history of music, still gives me chills. Unfortunately drugs and suicide seem to go hand in hand with our most talented.

This one really bugged me. I think it's because he seemed to be doing really well... touring and putting out some great music lately.

I read Slash's biography (mostly for the decadence) and he was at his most creative when he was high. It's possible for some that putting out good music is a bad sign. It is a sad loss. I caught back to back Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden tunes on the way in this morning on 104.1 WMRQ. It was a good 7-8 minutes. RIP.

Can't believe it's already going on 6 years since I last saw them. Dude was a great performer that didn't need to use gimmicks, just pure singing talent and interacting with fans.

Was it suicide? Haven't heard any word to that effect...

Looks like it.

 

[intlzncster]

Damn. That sucks.

 

[Ewekon]

NY Times saying it was. So sad. Last time I saw him was solo (with kick ass backing band) outside in Hartford. Saw Audioslave once and Soungarden once both at MSG. Every show was great as was he.

Heard this on the radio on the way home from work. RIP. One of the greatest voices in modern rock history.

Seemed to carry himself well. I've heard good stories of how he handled fans and the media.

Cornell, Weiland, Staley and Kobain have to be the 90's Mt Rushmore

Staley was such a loss. Should never have been overshadowed by Kobain.

Lord.

Probably take Weiland off for Vedder there IMO.

 

[boog204]

What's crazy is that 4 of the 5 great Seattle frontmen are now dead. Actually, 5 of 6 if you want to throw Andrew Wood in too.

 

[Fishy]

Probably take Weiland off for Vedder there IMO.

Yup. I don't think it's close either.

 

[superjohn]

Staley was such a loss. Should never have been overshadowed by Kobain.

Staley is probably my favorite rock singer of all-time with Cornell #2.

I agree, but I'm not a fan of pearl jam other than Ten, and a few songs off Vs.

Staley is probably my favorite rock singer of all-time with Cornell #2.

Alice in Chains so underrated. And they were rated. Even Mad Season was great. 'River of Deceit' is one of my favorite tunes.

Above was such an underrated album in my opinion. Wake Up was my favorite, but there were a handful of good ones.

 

[The Viking]

Alice was my favorite band from Seattle but Cornell was the best frontman of all of them.
His voice was epic and his songwriting was outstanding. He wrote basically everything and Euphoria morning was an outstanding solo album showed off his great vocal range.

 

[The Viking]

Side note I went back and watched a Stern interview Cornell did back in 07 and he said Alice In Chains were like the Monkees.
They all lived in one house and were basically pranksters..which I remember from that headbangers ball or whatever that MTV show was.
Hilarious
