This makes me really upset that I didn't get out and see Soundgarden just last Wednesday. :shakehead:

A buddy went to the show last night at the Fox Theatre in Rock City. Wished him a good show. Woke up to the news. Couldn't believe it. RIP CC.
Fuck. The best singer from the grunge era.
That's a bit of a shock. I was never a huge Soundgarden guy but I remember when my wife and I were dating, she had Superunknown playing all the time in the car. I leaned more towards Pearl Jam and Nirvana in the grunge days.
RIP, way too young.
Well that sucls.
Couple things:
Soundgarden was amazing when I saw them 25 years ago. Absolutely amazing.
Legitimate heirs to Sabbath or LZ at the time. Maybe it didn't pan out quite like that but it sure seemed reasonable at the time.
Chris Cornell could sing like a motherfucker.

Looking like he killed himself. :shakehead:
1992 in London. Soundgarden was opening for GnR. Chris was eating soup. He did not want to chat.
Damn....this really sucks.
RIP

Sweet pic!
Haven't listened to too much Soundgarden. I remember Audioslave coming up when I was in high school. I listened to them but never got too into them like I did RATM or other bands during that era. I enjoy his stuff from temple of the dog as well.

RIP
Wait, what?!!
Soundgarden were my very first all ages show on the Badmotorfinger tour when I was 15.
Saw them with Nine Inch Nails a couple summers ago and his vocals still sounded great.
Damn this sucks, RIP.
They were just down here 2 weeks ago. Due to a family medical situation out of state, I wasn't able to go. Waaaaayyyyy too young.
RIP Chris
another one gone too soon
RIP
More deets coming out. Being investigated as a suicide. Their last song last night was Zep's "In My Time of Dying."
Ugh. :cry:
KEXP is paying tribute to him all day.
http://kexp.org
The last song was Slaves and Bulldozers. During the break in the song, he sang some of In My Time Of Dying (much like he does with the Pearl Jam song in the Slaves that I posted above).
Not that that makes it any better...
Especially now that we know how he died.
omg
Surprised nobody is mentioning autoerotic asphyxiation.

With the description of the scene the thought has crossed my mind.
I know there's an INXS joke in there but it may be too soon.

Or a David Carradine joke....

I watched a shitty cell phone video of that the day after she preformed it and was sobbing like a baby. My favorite tribute by far.
And watching it now I am once again sobbing like a baby with chills running through me. This is the most hauntingly beautiful version ever preformed.
