    Just got TOTD on the go... this verse has just killed me:
    "Don't try to do it
    Don't try to kill your time
    You might do it
    Then you can't change your mind
    You've got a hold on to your time
    Till your break through these
    Times of trouble"

    I really feel for his band right now. It's easy to start second guessing or thinking about what you could have done. Maybe thinking about all those little signs you picked up on, but brushed off that now are all too clear. So sad and can't imagine what they are all going through as they replay the course of events leading up to this. 
    Yeah....and it looks like 911 was called around midnight so it couldn't have been more than an hour or so after the show.  Absolutely tragic.

    I'm just fucking gutted this morning. Choking back tears at work, listening to Chris sing in my ears. I feel lucky to have seen him many, many times, in the 90's in Soundgarden, for their reunion show as Nudedragons at the Showbox, a few times after they reunited, Chris solo shows, a few Audioslave shows, and most recently in October with Temple of the Dog. Chris' music has been a big part of the soundtrack of my life, and this is so tragic. He was a beautiful human being with an amazing talent. My heart aches for his family, his band mates, and his millions of fans. He will be missed, but his body of work will live on. RIP Chris.

    There is a need for more attention on that part. Just . . . so sad to go in that manner. I really feel for him, my whole heart does.

    I love this.  I feel like I need to wear it as a sign at work today.  My heart is so heavy.  To anyone out there that feels hopeless: please, please, please know that it DOES get better.  It CAN get better.  Whatever it is, this, too, shall pass.  And if it feels like it won't, reach out to someone.  Anyone.  And it is a reminder to the rest of us that everyone we see is fighting a battle we know nothing about.  Be kind to each other, Jammers.

    Was 4th row at the show last night and remember looking at his eyes and thinking "he looks so tired"......just an indescribable wave of emotions considering I was up at 4:30 this morning for work and saw the headline of his passing.....absolutely stunned and have thought of little else today....and this coming off the incredible high of meeting Matt before the show started......God speed Chris, you are a shining star and will be sorely missed....my prayers to the Soundgarden and PJ families as well as his wife and 3 children......just a huge loss

    I don't think its that hard to see. It must be chaos for the band right now. And them not knowing all the details. And it being personal. Him being close to them, and really close to Matt etc. 

    I don't think they just want to put something up to put something up. Or choosing to prioritise as the first thing.

    I don't think they just want to put something up to put something up. Or prioritising it.
    And they're probably trying to gather their thoughts, come to grips with this, get some kind of understanding... like we all are, like his family and friends are... when the time is right, we'll probably see a very moving, well-written, well-thought out, emotional tribute. I think it takes time to do all that. They could just put out something like "R.I.P.", similar to their peers, which is all good, but they probably want to do a little more than that.

    Edit: just my $0.02, of course

    This is just so sad! I have no words only "devastated" for his family, bandmates, friends and this music community!

    Exactly.  I told my wife this morning, "It just doesn't make sense when someone has so much talent and is loved my millions."  She said, "Yes, but as you well know, no one else can understand a persons own inner demons."  I just hung my head, remembering how lucky I am and said, "Yeah, so true."

    R.I.P., Chris.
