RIP Chris - Thanks for the music.
It's always sad to see someone take their life however the music biz & lifestyle literally chews people up.
This was always my favorite song they did, prominent Sabbath vibe to it.

Shit. This sucks. He was incredibly talented and an exceptional singer. I feel bad for his wife & kids.
Between Scott Weiland OD'ing and now this, the frontmen for 2 of my favourite bands are gone. What a damn shame. It feels like so many talented musicians are incredibly tormented, one way or another.

Good one Tripredaphile. It's no 4th of July but in no way is it the worst song ever
That 4th of July riff is unreal, as you guys noted it's Sabbath worship but they made it their own.

Still sad about this... wishing the best for his family/friends/bandmates. My kids like Soundgarden too and they keep asking why he killed himself. I tell them that he had issues and was battling depression, but it's very confusing for them.

Really sad... He was a hell of a musician, one of the best rock artists alive in my adult life.
Has anyone else heard talk about the changed encore ending? Apparently he changed it to In My Time of Dying by Zeppelin (which, to be fair, they'd played live many times) on fairly short notice

I was a massive Soundgarden fan as of Bad Motorfinger (which came out when I was about 15), and I appreciated Chris' output up to and including Euphoria Morning.
everything after that I found to be subpar, well below what I was used to hearing from the man. and then his voice started to fail him.
King Animal if we're being honest is weak. the songmanship is is rather stiff and uninspired, and it's flimsy lyrically as is all the solo stuff Cornell was coming out with post Euphoria Morning.
I for one thought Audioslave was pretty horrible.
I'm not being an arsehole on purpose, I just think Chris was once a great singer songwriter who lost his talent along the way, maybe became complacent and middle class.
you see the vids of the liveshows from Bad Motorfinger era and fuck me sideways if it isn't one of the greatest rock acts in history

Yeah I wouldn't say Audiosoave is horrible but it always felt pretty generic/cookie-cutter to me...especially the 2nd and 3rd albums....I could never get into them as a band. "Be Yourself"...cringe...
I thought King Animal was ok, but definitely the weakest Soundgarden album. It had its good moments, but nothing truly memorable or exceptional.
Also, I think Down on the Upside was great but could have been excellent...it just suffered the same fate as Vitalogy - it was too long for its own good. If they cut it down to 9 or 10 songs it would have felt much stronger but unfortunately some of the filler songs dilutes the awesome stuff on it. Tighter and Tighter is probably my favorite Soundgarden song.
Still, the man made a ton of great music. Sad moe. Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam was the soundtrack of my youth. Never got into Nirvana or STP in the same way as those 3 bands.

Tighter and Tighter!! man... complete genius. highlight of that album for sure. the more it hurts the better it is.
Alice in Chains Soundgarden and Nirvana where the biggest influences on me I'd say in my life (GnR, Pantera, and Deftones too)
