Chris Cornell, frontman for Soundgarden and Audioslave, was found dead today at age 52. His death was ruled a suicide by hanging. http://variety.com/2017/music/news/chris-cornell-dead-suicide-hanging-1202434191/ which reminds me of this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSXjUFcASxE The world has lost a lot of great musicians the past couple of years but this one hits the closest to home for me. I spent many, many angsty hours listening to Soundgarden as a teenager. RIP
Yah same here, it was odd because when I first heard it this morning, I didn't really have an initial reaction. I think I've become almost a bit numb to the Musician deaths over the past couple years. But then I started thinking about how much his music has affected me. I saw Audioslave live, I used to jam Fell on Black Days by Soundgarden on the guitar, and have connected with his music in many ways. I think Soundgarden and Audioslave were great and they deserve all the praise they get but I think one of his most overlooked albums and imo perhaps his most soulful contribution to music was his album with Temple of the Dog. https://youtu.be/5qi8hhiYEQA
I've never actually listened to Temple of the Dog beyond that one song they used to play on the radio, I'll have to give it a listen
What especially pisses me off is how every time a celebrity dies before the body is even cold the conspiracy theorists start posting videos about "Illuminati blood sacrifices". These blood sucking leaches are just as bad as those fucking assholes protesting military funerals with "God Hates Fags" signs. To me it is tacky, disrespectful, and heartless. I'm sorry these fuckers haven't evolved psychologically since they were 8 years old and still believe in a boogeyman that exists outside their heads and need to project the fact that they still believe in a silly superstition that dates back to an eclipse being gods anger and needing to brain someone with a rock will make it stop onto anyone that they see as being in power. Actually right now I have that last "I'm gone hungry!" From "Hunger Strike" echoing through my subconscious. C\S, Rev J
