there is no question chris has done strange things, no question at all, you can call us names, make fun of us for stating the obvious, make yourself tuffer whatever .
But he has done things that suck, and leaves people hanging. Its hard to figure his direction as a fan lets face it. So this is why you get all this disagreement.
The chris I remeber never liked touring, now he tours alot.
the old chris was not into doing mainstream, than he was, then he wasnt now he is.
THE PROBLEM ISNT THAT WE DONT LIKE CHRIS AND RESPECT HIS TALENT, THE ALBUM COULD BE THE BEST EVER.
Its the fact that you guys overlook his zig zag career that has been full of letdowns and some shitty music at times.
THAT IS WHY WE NEVER GO ANYWHERE WITH THESE THREADS.

You're complaining that he's enjoying touring now?

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Thats why Audioslave was such a great combo, they were hugely popular, which is what Chris wanted. I don't think he's doing it for the money, I think its just the fame. He's already rich as hell, and he'll always have royalty checks coming in after retirement. I think he wants to be taken more seriously as a solo artist. Except, like you said, "why have both his solo albums been radical departues from the style of music he's famous for?" His first solo attempts haven't been doing too good, thats why he's hired a hot producer. He wants the Chris Cornell brand name to be as big as Soundgarden and Audioslave. But i think that if it's going to work, he's got to get back to that good ol' rock formula that has worked for him in the past. Otherwise he's going end up just being a Soundgarden tribute band.
