    Just got home from the Chili Peppers show in Indy tonight. Flea dedicated Under the Bridge to Chris. Then the encore started with Josh Klinghoffer coming on stage alone and playing Seasons. Hopefully clips of that show up online soon as it was a really great performance.

    RIP Chris

    Hug those that you can.
    Reach out to people you haven't spoken to in awhile, it will do wonders. Some of us struggle but hide it unbelievably we'll.

    I just wanna say on some level I love you all and reading this thread has really helped me through today.  Still can't believe it and still don't really know what to say.  This one hurts bad.

    I've just watched video of Slaves & Bulldozers & I'm probably reading into things but i don't know that I've known him to sing pretty well a whole song from behind his hair flopping in front of his face before, sort of hiding from everyone. I'm  absolutely reading into this of course but, just.... :heartbreak:

    Been listening and watching music all night. Lots of Cornell. Ahhh that voice. Fuck. I'm hammered and feeling so sad yet thankful. Thankful for everything I have and for all the joy his music has brought me. His voice changed my life at 14yrs old and has now been a part of over half my life. Rest In Peace. 

    Give all your the ones you love a big hug today. Never know when things might change.

    The only CD I could find to put in the car today was 'Songbook'.
    Made it about 3 songs in and had to drive the rest of the way to work in silence.

    At least you didn't make it to Through The Window. That's a tough one.

    Thanks for sharing that Steve. Say Hello 2 Heaven was quite cathartic, but damn Eddie's speech before Hunger Strike triggered the tears again...

    Hey steved, thanks for sharing this. Is this video the same as the one in the TOTD deluxe boxset?
    It is the same show, but when I was done with the version made for the Box Set there were parts I was not satisfied with, and there were parts that were edited out for size restriction and continuity. This is the complete and Final version I edited.
    Thanks for your reply. I noticed Eddie's introduction to Chris is missing from the final release, so that's a nice extra there, really nice words. Thanks.

    That was normal for him. I was looking through the pictures I took of SG in Boston back in '13, and in most of them he has his hair in his face.

    RIP Chris, there is no cure for depression, and it strikes when least expected...

    You will be missed...

    Just cried my entire way home from an AA meeting listening to Songbook.  Chris has helped me get through some of my biggest challenges and I've always looked up to him as a role model when it came to my sobriety.  I cannot comprehend the pain he must have been going through on a daily basis.  People do not realize mental illness/depression is so serious.

    if you're having problems battling inner demons, there's no shame in asking for help.

    Chris, you will be missed immensely.  May God be with his family and friends.

    What a loss.  One can only hope he has been set free from whatever it was that drove him to this.

    RIP Chris.  I'll take you with me through the rest of my journey. 
    So well put. And be here the rest of mine as well.

    Love this. Seasons one of CC's finest for me. Respect to Josh for doing that. The first of many I'm sure, as the many people he touched and influenced pay their respects. Still struggling to fully accept what's happened.

    Remembering Chris... it's hard to type through the tears today... There isn't anywhere else online or in the real world where I can post this where people will understand how crushed I feel today... so thank you, friends, for putting up with this long list of mine...

    My best friend Dennis and I listened to the same mix tape on the bus on the way to school every day. And every day, we listened to My Wave and The Day I Tried To Live without fail. Soundgarden was a massive part of the soundtrack of my life, and will be for as long as I live.

    i feel so so fortunate to have seen a Soundgarden performance in Las Vegas in 2014. Chris' voice always blew me away - but to hear him live and in person was unforgettable. They performed every song I ever wanted them to play that night. It was glorious. We will never again hear a voice like Chris', and that's something I will forever miss.

    I missed a Pearl Jam show in L.A. in 2009. I had just returned from a business trip in Hawaii and I had the opportunity to drive straight to Los Angeles and see PJ the next day - but I was so exhausted. This was the show where Chris came out on stage and sang probably the most unique version of Hunger Strike that I had ever heard. This was the show where Matt, Kim, Ben and Chris huddled backstage and started the gears moving on a Soundgarden reunion. I wasn't there, but I always think of the show I missed that became truly legendary.

    His influence on so many other artists - including Eddie - is incalculable. I can't imagine where he was in his own mind last night to do something so final...

    We all can get down, and there are a lot of us who know the sadness, who know the depression, and have not yet let it get the best of us. We all get bad days, and we all get worse days. Sometimes it's minute to minute. I get that. I really do. No matter how bad it gets, live for the next day. Live for your friends. Live for your family. Live for the moments you've not yet experienced. Live for the people you have not yet met. You are needed here so much more than you could ever fathom. If you need help, please talk to someone. It's ok if you need help - we all do. There's nothing wrong with reaching out. Please take care of yourselves, friends. Theres a lot of love here. We need you.

    We are going to miss you so much, Chris. A big part of us died with you, today. You never knew me, but you were there for me when I needed you. Thank you so much, Chris. We miss you.
    Great post to embody a painfully sad day. Your post completely captures my utter sadness of today and the difficulty to process an important loss of someone you've never met. 

     I have no words for this. I'm so sad. But that pales in comparison to so many others who knew him personally as a family member, friend, or bandmate. I can't imagine the pain and confusion they all feel. My thoughts and prayers are with anyone who has been touched by this horrible event and anyone who struggles with whatever difficulties life has placed in front of them.

    Your post helped me realize that my feelings are not unique - especially on this forum - on such a difficult day. 

    Much love to everyone. 
    Sending e-hugs your way, man... e-hugs to everyone today
    Thanks man. Right back at you and to everyone who's hurting.
