    Most of us behave as we should. With respect, emotion, and trying to get better together. But then . . . there is always that one disrespectful person. Don't lower yourself..

    Thank you, Sea.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    I have nothing to add. Like everyone else, I was shocked to hear the news. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

    Agreed. Too sad to be angry, but that lack of respect and sensitivity on the previous page was shitty.

    Not buying that concert review. Way too much 20/20 hindsight and he often sung with different, slower phrasing live. 

    We'll only know a sliver of the truth when facts emerge. Even then, it'll only be part of the full story.

    Absolutely gutted. Crushed. Any and all words escaping my brain right now that could remotely explain the insane amounts of pain in my chest and the tears that don't seem to be stopping.... My heart absolutely weeps for Chris's family and friends today, because I know my pain is a scant fraction of the hell they are living in right now....

    Yes, they'd done it before.

    Yes they apparently tagged it prior on the tour.

    This has been a long, hard day. I thought the right words would eventually come but they haven't. Maybe they still will, but not yet.

    So incredibly sad.

    Cherish the ones around you. Make every day you have with the people you love count. Don't waste any of them.

    You will be missed, Chris. You will be missed.

    man...we were all supposed to grow old with Chris Cornell, he's one of the guys we'd go watch play and love until we're 80 years old.

    I've been reading your posts all day and I still can't comprehend that he is gone.  I've been sitting here with my cursor blinking, waiting for words to come out, but they can't show how I feel today.  I, along with everyone else on here that have had their lives touched by his voice and his music, feel like we've been abandoned today.  I will selfishly listen to every of his SG, AS, TOTD and solo records and be thankful for the gifts he gave and sad that there won't be any more.

    Not to be preachy, but as I sufferer myself, I know depression is a real illness and it's a very slippery slope.  Once you head down it, it's very hard to get your feet back on the ground.  Most people never look or act that they are suffering...and many will never ask for help.  Hug the people you love and let them know what they mean to your lives, because that could always be the lift that they need to overcome their troubles.

    My love goes out to Matt, Ed, Stone, Jeff, Mike, Boom, Kim and Ben along with Chris' family and friends.  My love also goes out to my extended PJ 10c family.  I hope you all find peace in this sad time.
