Chris Cornell RIP

[User62651]

Just read very sad news that Chris Cornell died yesterday, great vocalist from the 90s Seattle grunge band Soundgarden and then Audioslave. Superunknown is a favourite Soundgarden album of mine.

Sang one of the Bond movie songs too.

52 yo, too young.
RIP.

Shocked to hear that today. Very sad.

 

[USER1999]

Yes, same here. My age too, which is never good.

 

[Imurg]

Great voice
Some of his acoustic stuff is superb
Another gone way too soon.

Temple of the Dog is one of my favourite albums/bands/projects. Wish there'd been more of that.

Very sad.

Got Badmotorfinger playing on the record deck now. Great band and a fantastic vocalist. Sad news indeed...

Soundgarden is the band all my bands I've been in get compared to. (Obviously we were nowhere near as good). Superunknown was the first cd I bought with my own money, I wore out Badmotorfinger on cassette.

Was honestly wounded reading the news today.

Not my musical taste but undoubtedly a talented musician and a shame he felt the need to take his own life

Him and a few other notible people from the pacific north west, dragged me through adolescence and into manhood.

I had their words ringing in my ears when I literally had nothing else to help.

Really cut me up this news. More so having just seen the coroners report.

I'm gutted.

Such as shame that talented man takes his own life without any apparent recent signals that he was suffering.

Was shocked at this news today, still a young fella. RIP

I was stunned by this. The first Audioslave album was an absolute masterpiece, I still listen to that every now and then. Black Hole Sun from Soundgarden is such a fantastic tune as well. Cornell's voice was one the best rock vocals around in my opinion. So tragic that someone so talented can also be suffering so much as to take his own life. Just hours after playing a gig with Soundgarden too. Awful news.
