We’ve lost yet another amazingly talented musician, I can’t believe Chris Cornell is no longer with us.
Was fortunate enough to see him with soundgarden and even more luckier to meet him with audioslave, he was very humble and gracious but when the stage lights came on WOW! what a singer/performer/musician. Truly a sad day. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.
Update: Cause of death has been determined, he took his own life by hanging himself
Now it’s even more surprising than his age…
God damn we just had to lose another one
Horrible news and situation. I feel very badly for his family and friends.
Such an incredible talent.
GUITAR: Puppetz
DRUM ANIMATIONS: MrBurpler
“Face Pollution” is a brief, angular heavy metal assault that is extremely catchy, fast (*drum roll* FACE PO–LU–TION!! *drum roll* FACE PO–LU–TION!!), and has a lot energy.
GUITAR/BASS/VOCALS: Colonel 32dll

Cornell had a specific death in mind when he wrote the seven-minute coda of “Superunknown.” “I was writing the music to that in may basement when I heard this loud thump from above,” Cornell told Melody Maker in 1994. “When I got to the door, there was this beautiful female robin writhing on the ground. She’d broken her neck flying into the window. It was obviously broken, flipped back…” Cameron’s drums start out front, marking time, bass is next, growling, cresting guitars follow, finally Cornell comes in with a steady tenor, singing, “dazed out in a garden bed with a broken neck lays my broken gift.” Thayil and his ax go on full attack from there. Later, as the music swirls, he sings, “She lived like a murder but she died / just like suicide.”
UPDATE note: if you already DL’ed the old version, this one will not replace it. Please delete the old one.
