You know.... Timbaland is Cornells producer/puppet master, Timbaland happens to be black, so if you dont like "Scream" you obviously dont like Timbaland , who happens to be black. So if you dont like Timbaland or Scream but still kinda like Cornell, whos white, you obviously dont like blacks. So of course you are a racist then.

So what if you are black and you dont like "Scream" but you like Timabaland sort of and have never heard of Chris Cornell. Does that make you racist or bi-sexual?

What if you are white and you dont like blacks or mexicans but you like Timbaland , but think "Scream" sucks. And you dont like whites that much either, and could care less about Chris Cornell?

This is brilliant, i owe you one headache, but thats brilliant

Scream, Racism, Timbaland, a concert with ONLY Scream played at it......i was in a bad mood before i read this thread and now i cant stop chuckling to myself. RIP Chris Cornell, at least i had a cheap laugh at your expense, and am now glad that i illegally downloaded all your albums.

Wow you are too cool. Lets forget about all the masterpieces he made (more than 8 albums worth) and throw him out the window now that he's doing this one-off thing with Timbaland. So he wants to do something different... surely he's got the right to. I'm sure he'll go back to his roots after this album. And just to let you all know, I don't like these new songs that much either but I just hate how everyone is like "He is dead to me now" and throwing him under the bus. Grow up people...

Pfft. Chill out. I was kind of being ironic. Hes not dead to me, im glad i have all of his other stuff and i love it, and will continue to. Joe2revenge made the good point (to be fair) that Cornells touring band are great - if they were playing anything old on this tour id be there.

HOWEVER - if the artistic change in direction is for artistic reasons, or just for a change of pace - fine. Scream is not that. Thats what i think is causing people to claim Chris is dead for - not the album alone. Dont be so immature as to ignore the many reasons fans can be disappointed by this album, this tour, the collaboration, the marketing & overhyping. It just doesnt seem very Cornell to me, thats all.

Good work ripping me apart though - i think you'll find i described my own post as a "cheap laugh"

In my mind, Cornell has lost all artistic integrity and that does affect how I view him past/present/future. I honestly believe this whole thing was a sell out move from the get go to get exposure and make an attempt at being relevant after meager Carry On sales and a tour that couldn't pack small venues. So, integrity matters to me, a whole fuckin' lot, especially when it comes to an artist I have always admired.

So fine, you see it one way, but I don't think growing up has anything to do with it and seeing as how CC has chosen to market himself to teenagers, I'm not sure how growing up would help me appreciate his new music at all.

even flow?

Not defending CC, but do you guys remember when Neil Young made that 80 electronic type album?

We all make mistakes

I personally like putting that vinyl on. It wasn't that bad.

Very well put. Thats what i wanted to say, but was not articulate enough to write it.

Joe2TheRevenge, I think it's racist you played the race card.

Took in cornell twice on the Carry On Tour, was great, but since you didnt seem to read the multiple times that people have said this tour is ONLY Scream - I would like to reitirate this is going to be nothing but a shell of his former live preformance. Oh well, there's always next album.

I'll just fondly hold on to my memories of seeing him as the frontman for Soundgarden oh, so many years ago here in Seattle.

Was it really only 14 months ago that the land of Chris Cornell was a joyful place?

Yep, unbelievable!

Should have seen Cornell when he was here in Sweden ölast august. Now maybe he is fucked for life

And btw, TRANS by Neil Young is not a mistake.

& what it explains, for you ?

I'm listening to "Never Far Away" and the outro consists of someone humming. It doesn't sound like Cornell (but it could be I guess) and sounds suspiciously like Justin Timberlake, although I don't really know his voice well.

Anyone care to confirm this? We already know that Timberlake is going to be on the album somewhere.

I think if it was with Kid Rock or Tim McGraw you'd hear an equal amount of bitching and moaning. Nothing to do with race. For the vast majority of us.

If there is one sound out there in the universe that I can guarantee you I won't recognize, it's Justin Timberlake humming...

Sorry, no help here.

Hahahaha. That just made my day.

I hated the collab when I first heard about it and still do. But the more I think about it, if CC actually cared and did something on the album, it could have been very cool and interesting...something Everlastish but with more singing, which I would've totally enjoyed.


Also, joerevenge guy got massively owned.

walkthamile

It all started with that lame ass bond 007 song he did. The beginning of the end, right there!
