sasha013 225 Posted May 18, 2017 I can't believe it, the voice behind Soundgarden, Black Hole Sun, what a shock. 52 years of age too, so young. Anyone like myself who grew up in the Grunge age will feel this like I do... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted May 18, 2017 Wow that is unexpected. Was literally playing Arma yesterday and for some weird reason put on the Miami Vice movie soundtrack to play along with -which is all Cornell. Guy was a major, major vocal talent with a one-of-a-kind voice. R.I.P 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, the thread was created to pay respect to Chris, not to take people to task over their own personal viewpoint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1747 Posted May 18, 2017 Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan. I'll miss him and his music greatly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest, I was pretty shocked and a little upset when I wrote this, so maybe I did exagerate my viewpoint a bit. Understand though, Soundgarden was my childhood. No band/music, no singer, no lyrics struck me like they did, like he did in fact, so for me he's still one of the greats, but that's more of a personal view. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oxmox 73 Posted May 20, 2017 Ouch...didnt even read about this in the news, just here right now after posting some music titles. Damn, Soundgarden was one of my favourite bands in the 90s. I was at a concert in this time to see them and we were dancing to the music in the clubs..awesome band. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
