Chris Cornell has died.

[EasternWest]

I never listened to Soundgarden much back in the day, but as I've got older I've come to appreciate how good he was.

Vale great man.

Re: Chris Cornell has died.

Soundgarden and Audioslave are probably my two favorite bands, i always thought that Chris sung and wrote with is heart.

I miss him already

One of my favourite ever songs, and film clips. Listening to Chris explain how that came about is interesting. Far too young.

Funny how songs remind you of a time in life . That just reminds me of the summer of 96/97

Re: Chris Cornell has died.

In tears tonight, just heart broken to hear this awful news.

Soundgarden influenced my teenage years, Audioslave my 20s and his solo my 30s. He's had a huge influence in my life and I'll be forever grateful for what he has given me.

Thanks Chris.

I absolutely hate that song. Maybe not its fault, but it was flogged so hard that for a while I couldn't listen to Soundgarden at all.

Thanks G. That's rough mate. The beautiful thing about good music is it let's us have some ownership of it. The rough thing is that we grieve when it's gone. Thoughts are with you.

Wow hadn't heard this news and quite a shock. Like GMo, Soundgarden and that Seattle scene had quite an influence through my earlier years. Pretty sad about Chris's passing. RIP.

Re: Chris Cornell has died.

Not a fan myself (don't necessarily dislike the music, just never really appealed to me - couldn't name more than one song) but 52 is much too young. RIP.

Terrible news. Loved soundgarden growing up. Went to the concert at the Sidney Myer music bowl in 2012 (I think). I'm gutted.

R.I.P Chris

Reading that cause of death 'may' be suicide by hanging in his hotel room in Detroit following a show.
Just tragic leaving a wife and 3 children.

Ugh.

Re: Chris Cornell has died.

Chin up G-Mo. Keep it positive, remember the good because that's all he and his conspirators gave to you.

I loved a lot of Soundgarden stuff at a time, then fell in love with Brit Pop followed by house/progressive/tech post the 90's so he pretty much dropped of the radar for me.

His recent solo stuff really irked me because it seemed overdone, but my much better half loved it to bits and I'm sad for her as I am for a lot of friends who kept the faith. I called my much better half while she was pulling long hours in her accounting job and gave her the news.......for some reason she thought I was bullshitting her.....(even for me calling my accountant GF and making a Chris Cornell death joke would be too much......right?)......I guess with the increased exposure of commercial music over the past few decades we'll get more and more of this.

Right now, for some reason, Denise Drysdale is performing an Australia Day rendition of I Still Call Australia Home on my TV and it's blocking me from saying what I want to, so the post can be closed out.

So sad. And taking your own life too, just so horribly, horribly sad. His poor family.

May 15 lodgement deadlines? They were revolting (I don't work in practice anymore, but then have been working until midnight the last couple of nights doing budgets so I'm not sure there is a difference...)
