Damn.

My favourite singer in my favourite band..
It's taken awhile for me to get my head around this.
It seems he hung himself.
Whatever drove him to do this, whatever dark place he was in, I just feel there could have been some help.
I see him as one of the greatest rock singers ever and I'm fucking crushed.
A part of me feels lost now.
But that's just me..
My thoughts are for his 2 girls and his son..
Same as what I have and his eldest is around the same age as mine. She was 18 yesterday.
I feel so bad for them now having to deal with this.
Family is everything.
Bloods thicker than water and family is thicker than blood..
Rest in peace Chris ..

Oh sh*t, this stuff rocks…
Never gave AudioSlave a chance, which is odd now that I think about it… love RATM, love Chris… just didn’t think much of a potential mashup. Damn, I was wrong… yes, more music of his to study!
My buddy and I were debating a couple months back Cornell vs Kotzen. My argument was, I believe Chris is the better song writer, where Kotzen is a better singer, guitar player. We were talking about how amazing it would be if Kotzen covered Cornell songs until I heard the Audioslave cover he did a couple months back… some things are left better to imagination.
In any case, no comparison. Two totally different players from two totally different places. The only reason it came up, was because every time we listen to Kotzen, someone asks “is that Chris Cornell?”
No, it’s not, but I love him too!

The first Audioslave album was great not a filler song on the whole album it's up there next to Superunknown for me.

Was never a big Soundgarden fan, skipped the grunge era throughout high school.
Audioslave just seemed to be a way better fit for his voice. He could just let loose and the bombastic sound of the group complimented him IMO

God took the wrong surviving lead singer of the Seattle grunge scene big 4.
Kidding. Just some dark humor. Though PJ always left me cold, hope Vedder lives a long life.
But shocked and saddened by the loss of the great Chris Cornell. Soundgarden were the kings of those four bands, IMO. Especially in retrospect.
