shove ya street teamer americanism up your arse !! i have probably forgotten more about music than you know .
it was merely a suggestion as to why the change of tack in chris cornell's career !! .
you dont agree , well big up to you sunshine !! that's your choice .
he certainly does not sound like the pipes can handle the soundgarden stuff over the last couple of years , that style of singing cannot carry on forever .
thanks for cutting me down without knowing me !! i would not do the same to you .
bobbytard , maybe if you saw Cornell live you would have a clue. 99% of the comments I have read support me and the 4 shows I have seen in the past year and a half. Cornells voice might be the best its ever been. Thats why people are so upset over his new crap. Quit trying to damage control our board , go streetteam where people dont know anything about music (Pretty much all of Europe these days).

As the late, great Bill Hicks would say, "Chris Cornell is officially off the artistic payroll."
He didn't sell out to a mega corporation or a brand, but he did reach a new artistic low to get more listeners/buyers of his music, which, in simplest definition, is selling out. I understand taste in music is subjective, up to the listener, to each their own, but come on, Timbaland andthe Pussycat Dolls (along with some douchebag band I never heard of)? Absolutely unforgivable. I knew Chris was heading down the wrong direction after doing the Casino Royale soundtrack, but this shit?
I hope Eddie has enough integrity to put a clause in the PJ contract that says if he ever drunkenly agrees to a stupid act like CC did on Fashion Rocks, the other five (Bam included) can hook his nuts up to a car battery and torture his ass Tarantino style.
Uh, I don't think he was ever on it in the first place.
yah... he was an alcoholic... i never heard anything about heroin... i could see him doing some trendier drugs now though... maybe cocaine or x with his model friends... theres no other defense for the erratic behavior and empty look in his eyes

While never an addict, I am quite certain CC has used H before.

and I am quite certain he hasn't! I think I remember most of the drugs he's said he's done, and H isn't one of them. He's said he had his biggest problem with OxyContin (oxycodone hydrochloride). It's sometimes known as 'hillbilly heroin', maybe that's where the confusion is creeping in. They both have a very similar effect though, so it is a little nit-picking to argue the point...oh...er...

CC has no fucking excuse.
As much as he has changed, he doesn't really need any sort of excuse....at the end of the day, he can do whatever he pleases.

I'll get me coat
Oh stick around. It doesn't concern me one way or the other. Just something I once heard from someone who once worked for him. Nothing I can prove, nor does it affect my perception of him. Hell, I've done every drug under the sun.

You gave the Ultramega Ok era the same amount of stars as Scream? wtf
And for 1992 add about 12 more stars. That is when BMF was out, pre-Black Hole Sun of course. Saw three shows in '92 and that period was definitely the crowning moment of his career

The last time CC did anything of note was Superunknown, and that's not even Soundgarden's best album. The most amazing thing is that there's only been two really good songs since 1994 ('Burden In My Hand' and 'Cochise') and we are still surprised by the decline.
I was one of those who somewhat foolishly thought the 'Unplugged In Sweden' bootleg was a sign of things to come - if ever there was a voice that should just have an acoustic guitar behind it, it's Cornell's. I guess I couldn't have been more wrong.
Depressing.
Shameful.
Shocking. Truly shocking.

BULL. SHIT.
DOTU is some of SG's most mature, thoughtful work! incredible album! it was to SG what no code is to PJ... just imagine if they had a chance to do the SG equivalent of yield :eek:

But surely that's the point. They never got the chance to make a 'Yield' and DOTU is the reason for that. DOTU was the album that killed Soundgarden. Less than half of that album is worth repeated listens. The tours were awful, they clearly hated being in the band together and there was no way Soundgarden could ever recover from that.
They truly peaked with Badmotorfinger, sustained that level with Superunknown and died a horrible death after DOTU.
Audioslave? 'Carry On'?? Timberfcknland??? A truly irreversible downward spiral.
Like I said - shameful

Hey, it's just an opinion man. I've been a fan since I stole my cousin's blue vinyl of Screaming Life sometime in 1989 (I still have it) but DOTU is my least favourite Soundgarden album, 'Burden' excepted.
I stand by both of my earlier posts simply because it's hard to remember the last time Cornell did anything worth giving a shit about

There is a blue Screaming Life? I know of Orange, Black, Purple, Red...but never seen a blue. Would you be interested in unloading that?

But DOTU has Tighter & Tighter on it! The closest thing to perfect Chris Cornell has ever written! :eek:
And will ever write, by the looks of it.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

Who's threatening assassination? I'm merely lamenting a lost opportunity... or joking.
