between layne staley and chris cornell, the 90's produced 2 of the greatest voices in rock music history and they're both gone too young.

Unbelievable. Was going to see them next week.

Got to see them at Lollapalooza in 1996 and 2014 in The Woodlands. Saw Audioslave in 2004 in Houston.

Incredible talent. Go back and watch the movie "Singles." He and several other Seattle rock icons are in it before they all blew up.

Didn't see this one coming.

Is Eddie Vedder the last of the Mohicans?

Vedder and Corgan and to a lesser extent Grohl since his time as leading man came post Grunge

but, Vedder is definitely the last big dog that truly defined that era.

Someone needs to put a bubble around Eddie Bedder.

I will absolutely lose it when he moves on to another world.

One of my favorite songs of his:

But it's all right
When you're caught in pain
And you feel the rain come down
It's all right
When you find you way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's gray
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In a sweet sunshower

Today is the 25yr anniversary release of the sound track I believe (at least that's what I think I heard on the radio this morning). Anyway, it's supposed to have some Cornell singles on there previously unreleased. Funny, I saw that movie about a month ago for the first time in years. Forgot how many of those guys were in it and they perform Ritual in one of the club scenes. I love that song!

and Cantrell. He's a co-front man anyway. He sang too much to not include him in the group, imo.

I'm a huge Bond fan, and Cornell contributed one of the all-time great Bond theme songs to one of the all-time great Bond movies.

Sunshower is a very overlooked song, his first solo record was very good.

He was the last guy I would have thought would go early, His wife was his Mgr (you would then assume she was with him on the road then), and as was pointed out, he had kids (and seemed to love being a Dad). Not a "wild-card" kind of guy.

This is very sad, confusing news.

I also had forgotten how much of a digital hoarder I used to be...

Chris Cornell - Live at House of Blues - 10-30-2007 Dallas Tx.RAR - 194MB


If anyone wants it, shoot me a PM. But warning it's about as good as you'd expect a 194MB audio file to be.

good call. i just think AiC and think Staley. i believe it was Matt Penfield that said something to the effect of "he brought an operatic voice to rock.".

Last song was Slaves & Bulldozers. He included lyrics from Zeppelin's "In My Time Of Dying" in the song too. I've seen him do that before so it wasn't anything new but still it's kinda creepy.

Staley was def the majority vocal and true lead man, but cantrell sang a lot.. loads of dual vocal with staley like down in a hole, them bones, no excuses, brother, angry chair, again. In those songs, neither one of them is really lead; to get technical, they are usually singing in a perfect 5th, which doesn't make any one a harmony and one a lead.

Cantrell did plenty solo lines as well like on heaven beside you, would, don't follow, over now

Those are the opening lines to the last song Chris Cornell ever sang on stage. It was a cover of Led Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying."

Cornell and his band Soundgarden have covered the song before and they did it again to close out the show at Detroit's Fox Theater on Wednesday. Just hours later, Cornell was found dead. He was 52.

Somehow I had no idea about this until about 30 seconds ago hearing people talk about it at work.

One of the all time great voices
