Re: Chris Cornell dead at 52
WTF???
I did not expect this at all. Layne Staley, Kurt Cobain, Scott Weiland - I think most of us saw those coming (at least as possibilities), but Chris Cornell? No way.
I'm stunned. I really can't believe it.
And he really was a great singer. I'm not the biggest Soundgarden or Audioslave fan (I like some songs from both bands, but dislike just as many), but I had (and still have) a ton of respect for Cornell. I was actually interested to hear what Audioslave could do as far as new material a decade removed from when they were active.
He will be missed for sure.

WTF happened. He didn't have any current substance issues? I'll be honest, lately, he has looked a little too thin and frail... maybe he was sick.
I was lucky to have seen Cornell solo and then when Soundgarden got back together in 2011. I was really looking forward to the likely possibility of an Audioslave tour.
Damn, this sucks.

One news outlet is reporting possible suicide.

I find that hard to believe, but who knows?
I watched some clips from last nights show at the bottom of that story, and he looked really disinterested - as if he didn't want to be there. Was that his usual performing style, or was that out of the oridinary? (I'm used to musicians having more enthusiasm and looking like they're actually enjoying playing on stage...)

Damn, what a shock. I was never much into Soundgarden, but I loved Chris's solo work. He had such a unique vocal and range.
I'm also in shock that Sammy Hagar is approaching 70. Life is going by too freaking fast.

Shocking news to wake up to today.


The Today Show highlighted his last tweet but someone didn't check one of the hashtags. Oops...

'Badmotorfinger' is currently testing the limits of my desktop's speakers.
I might have to purchase new ones before the day is out.

Re: Chris Cornell dead at 52
Shitty news to wake up to.
Saw him live once here at The Wiltern after Audioslave broke up and way before Soundgarden reunited. I also saw Audioslave 2-3 times in concert. Shit, never did get to see Soundgarden live either.
