shareNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! π’π’π’π’π’π’π’π’
shareI know right? It's awful. He was part of the fabric of my 90s. :(
shareVery sad. He had a great voice and wrote some amazing music. R.I.P.
shareYes he did. He was one of the cornerstone voices that came out of that time and movement.
RIP, and way too soon, too.
So sad.Amazing voice,I can't think of the right word to describe it.Suffice to say the first time I heard him I said "Who IS this?"
He actually made a really great James Bond theme too.
A lot people always praised Eddie Vedder as the greatest voice from the Seattle scene, but I always preferred Cornell's even though I have nothing against Eddie's. Chris had a great sound.
shareThat's the great thing about Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike", you get to hear both sing the same melody and compare them. Verdict: both amazing! The best part is when they are singing together in harmony. Chris's voice is smoother, Eddie's is very distinctive.

Their voices are very similar that's for sure.βΊ
shareBlack dog
Drinks from the water
Trying to cool his tongue
Like the king
Finds no peace
His work is never done
Night falls
Smoke on the water
Darkness closes in
Cold white hand, in the deep
Will drown you for your sin
I was so sad to create this thread this morning, but thank you for the thank you. :)
It's all just awful.
It's funny, I've stayed quite calm all day until now when the details are coming out. . . and it's even sadder. I feel for his family.
It's a life long expedition
Second guessing your decisions
Trying to find out what's been missing
Pages keep on filling
Well at least he "won't go hungry."

shareI smell a ban coming soon.

shareNah, he just made a mildly flippant remark based on a lyric; it's cool. This thread has been very pleasant and respectful; one little joke is fine. :)
shareI believe it's a she...
And I just calls em likes I sees em. ππππ
(And I usually refrain from using the "T" word but... π)
RIP Mr Cornell, may your music be remembered throughout the ages to come.
