    As much as I used to be interested in the band Cornel used to be in, I think he wanted to sell out bad. For the cash you know?

    Just look at the artwork for Euphoria Morning

    yeah, well if you were making music for a LIVING, you might just make a "Euphoria Morning" and join a band called "Audioslave".

    I sort of agree, but Chris Cornell is so self-glorified now it's not even funny.

    Just the way he is in Audioslave, like the other guys don't even exist, I really just don't like his attitude that much.

    I get the impression that he thought, "ya I guess I could play with the guys from RATM, they're no Soundgarden.....but who cares, everyone's here to watch me."

    I dunno, he just pisses me off, how much he loves himself.

    I do have both Audioslave albums though :)

    i've seen less cooperation in porno movies than in Audioslave.

    Those guys look like 4 friends playing in someone's basement.

    Agreed.
    And as for the thread starter saying Chris was 'selling out', don't use the term is you don't know what it means.

    I just think that Chris really centers all the attention around himself,

    Have you seen them live?

    yes and he gets the most attention like Eddie does... or robert plant.. or really any singer for any band in history.

    it's the natural order of things... just seems like he gets the most attention.

    more importantly i've seen them in studio and heard the way they talk about working with eachother.

    Fair Enough Dude.

    He just bugs me sometimes that's all.

    IMO, I do think he puts himself above the band, but hey, we can disagree that's cool.

    I dont really think hes selling out, its not like what hes doing is compromising his or the bands music and image, hes mearly supporting something that he likes and wears

    sell out or not, that´s one very good looking picture:

    “Life is life everywhere. Life is in ourselves and not outside us. There will be men beside me, and the important thing is to be a man among men and to remain a man always, whatever the misfortunes, not to despair and not to fall - that is the aim of life, that is its purpose.”

    Don't know much about the brand, which is part of my point; it isn't like he's promoting Gap and it doesn't seem like the brand has a huge advertising campaign anyway. Not a huge fan of Audioslave, but respect Cornell for what he's done. Like others have said, it's natural for lead singers to be in the spotlight. Look at Bono who does so much good in the world and he's got a huge ego (but at least he knows it).... ego schmeego, that's what I say...

    Selling out means different things to different people. Some people would argue he sold out when Soundgarden singed to a major label. "Selling out" seems to be a term that people use when a band goes in a different direction, whether it meant actually "selling out" for more money or not. I think the actual term "selling out" doesn't really mean what it did when a band would stray from its roots just to make a quick buck.

    Have you actually seen Audioslave live? Really doesn't sound like you have. Chris never shuts up about how great the rest of the band is and how lucky he is to be up playing with them. Doesn't sound like someone who is up his own ass!

    The way I figure it is, all the guys in Pearl Jam seem like REALLY nice people, everytime someone meets them, that's what you hear. I very much doubt that PJ would consider Cornell such a friend if he was an ego freak.

    i'll take free shit if all i have to do is have my picture taken. i've always said you know you've made it when someone else gets to dress you.

    and who thought joe perry should be a clothes model?? wow.

    oh and brad wilk is a terrible drummer.

    i mean, it's not like he let his songs be on friends or something....

    I'm telling you it's an illusion put on by the frontman position... but i think my time could be better spent fighting people who hate him all together ;)
