R.I.P. Chris Cornell

[3CityApache]

I'm shocked. 

[Wolfgirly]

Rest in peace Chris Cornell

[Regular John Umber]

 Well fuck this right to hell.

[The BlackBear]

Another leading light of Grunge gone. Completely unexpected, real shame.

[Ramsay B.]

Very sad to hear. Like A Stone is one of my favorite songs ever. RIP

[red snow]

he was a singer with a very distinct voice which was apparent with Audioslave where he transformed what was essentially rage against the machine into an entirely different thing.

[The Wedge]

I remember walking to record shop across from campus in the fall my freshman year to dig through the used CD bins. They had a Sony Discman taped down to the front counter. The guy at the counter told me to put on the attached headphones and listen. They had a copy of the just released Badmotorfinger playing. "Rusty Cage" began pounding its way into my brain.

Whoa.

The guy said they had already sold a bunch of copies just by putting the CD player and headphones on the counter.  I totally understood.

I didn't have enough cash to buy a new CD that day, but I did pick up the album at some point. It's loud, it's dark, it's fast, it's sludgy.  It's the sound of college wrapped up in one killer album.

I'm fortunate I was able to see them that next summer when they were part of the killer 1992 Lollapalooza lineup. It was loud and great.

Chris Cornell had a singular voice and it's a shame he is gone too soon.

[TheKitttenGuard]

I am in shock.

Cornell had one of the most incredible voices in music and am very sadden by this.

[The Fattest Leech]

WHAT! This is terrible. He was truly talented and will be missed.

God, just so unexpected. Sad.

[Manhole Eunuchsbane]

The Road is a brutal mistress. Hell of a vocal talent. He will be missed.

[Ferrum Aeternum]

Awful news to wake up to this morning. A unique and singular talent gone from the world way too soon.  RIP.   

[Frey Filet]

R.I.P. Chris.  "Burden in my Hand" brings back so many great high school memories.

[April Ethereal]

Yeah, this pretty much sucks. So many grunge favorites are slipping away. RIP.

[A Horse Named Stranger]

Well, then. RIP Chris.

[Exa Inova]

Just read an text message from my wife saying Chris is dead. My favourite singer from my favourite band.

I never forget the day I first heard Jesus Christ Pose, to me their best song and the embodiment of their name.

God this sucks.

[GallowKnight]

It seems like the cause of death has officially been ruled a suicide.

 

[Swordfish]

Where was Courtney Love when he died?

[Scout]

Depression is a horrible thing. RIP Chris.

 This is so sad. I thought that he made it through the bad years, the early 90's, Cobain, Stayley, Buckley. 

[Centrist Simon Steele]

Stayley was early 2000s--but I only bring this up because I always thought he withered away late in the game. Cornell seemed robust, healthy. Like he had it together. This news is really getting to me. Though you can really hear it in the music, can't you?
