Chris Cornell dead

[Oakey]

Geez, that was unexpected. Great voice

[Captain Benzo]

One of my heroes,

i never got to see Soundgarden, hands down my favourite band.

My best friend was killed in a car accident in 1997, he'd given me a copy of Superunknown 3 days before. I listened to that non-stop for about 6months. That album is 'my album', every track is solid gold.

I saw Chris live in Newcastle a couple of years ago, just an amazing voice, an amazing presence and massively talented.

As far as I am concerned 2017 is a fking write-off now.

A sad day for music.

fk.

Great singer, great band(s).

[Dick Dastardly]

Crap. One of my first idols.

soundgarden were going to give us a new album later this year.

RIP

I just got a reissue of Euphoria Morning last week and have listened to it a few times since then. I really like it. It wasn't an album I have listened to much before, certainly not as much as the Soundgarden and Audioslave ones, some of which rate in my top 10 albums of all time.

I was hoping to hear a lot more from him

RIP Chris. Too young

[Ian974]

Sad news. Though I've not got many soundgarden albums I have liked them and I've been a big fan of audioslave, fantastic singer. RIP.

[sagarich]

Real shame, amazing voice.

[StuTheGrouch]

fk sake. A true legend and architect of the grunge era.

I didn't get to see Soundgarden, Audioslave or Chris himself live. Joins my growing list of 'best bands I didn't get to see', including Nirvana and Alice in Chains.

Very sad ,right up there with the best vocalists of all time .
Saw Soundgarden on the down on the upside tour and his voice was staggering .

I read somewhere that he was planning to reform Temple of the Dog...

Say Hello 2 Heaven

[S10GTA]

Posted in another thread, but totally gutted by this one. Love everything he's done, especially with Audioslave. Was really hoping for a reunion at some point too.

[dromong]

Cochise-us Christ, what a shock, another legend of Rock gone, far too young. A voice that most could only dream of emulating .RIP Chris.

Going Hungry is one of my all time favourite songs

Early 90's driving some worn-out old s***box of a Buick (because Mrs Digga had totalled the Lexus LS400 we had on hire on a rock) from Yosemite to San Fransisco.

Mrs D was asleep (because she was navigating) it was raining, the car was crap and the only things keeping me amused were the scenery and the radio, which is where I first heard Soundgarden.

RIP. A very sad loss.

Rumours abound that he committed suicide.

Don't write off Alice in Chains, William DuVall makes a great frontman in place of Layne, and you still have Jerry Cantrell who is a legend in himself.

Hanged himself with a belt.

Cry, if you want to cry
If it helps you see
If it clears your eyes...
