    this statement can't possibly be true...


    here's the link facepollution:

    he looks ok, but his voice has definitely lost some range
    thanks for the link

    cheers for the link.

    His voice doesn't sound too bad, although he really should take a few days off, he's been touring relentlessly for the past few months, and his schedule is pretty fucking hardcore.

    As for how he looks?! He's had that look going on for the past few years, and dammit I wish I looked half that good now, let alone at 43! The bastard!

    Why he's doing a set for Walmart I don't know, considering these are the same people who censor their cds - which to my mind is ridiculous. And it would be nice to hear some different songs in all these live promo sets he does, it always seems to be the same ones.

    probably to promote his record, kinda like doing an instore appearance

    Oh yeah, I understand the promotional reasons as to why he's doing it, but fucking Walmart, surely he could have done better than them?!

    in terms of retail exposure, it doesnt get much bigger
    but I hear you
    unfortunately, bands have to resort to this stuff these days because its so much harder to sell records

    Hmm, I know where you're coming from. I take it the album hasn't done too great in the US? I just think Cornell has a far bigger hard rock audience than he does chirpy pop music audience.

    Plus, I think Walmart stopped censoring CDs awhile ago, cause they were losing business to Target and Best Buy. Im not sure, but I remember reading that maybe a year or so ago.

    Well if that's true, they still sell edited CD's at my Wal Mart. Although I was surprised to see that they sold Velvet Revolver's Libertad with the original cover; they had a different cover for Wolfmother's CD.

    Wal Mart plus Chris Cornell pwns.

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    To be fair he has sounded much better on this tour than those videos, but even so, he still sounds better here than he did at most Audioslave shows. He just needs to take a week off rest his voice a bit.
