My buddy went to the first show last night in Mansfield and sent me a video on his phone. Cornell played Hunger Strike and Chester Bennington from Linkin Park sang Eddie's part. I bet that was super rad to hear, I was jealous I missed it!

    Haha, I didnt say he would sound better than Ed, but cmon, who doesnt love hearing Hunger Strike. Plus Chester has a pretty amazing voice, as far as his range goes. If you are only familiar with LP's early music with all the screaming you should def listen to the Little Things Give You Away off Minutes To Midnight. Very different sound and a great track.

    I know you didn't, but round these patrts they be a lot of linkin park haters, who may find the notion of Chester Bennington singing Ed's part on Hunger Strike sacriligious and another reason to hate on Cornell at the same time.

    To make matters worse, as it were, Cornell also sang Crawling with Linkin Park.

    I think I've rarely heard Chester sing in key live.....


    Still, check out Cornell getting down with kids.....

    I wouldnt say he is one of the best lyiricist but I will say he probably has one of the best vocal range's I have heard. He can sing/do anything he wants with his voice, from acoustic ballad to screaming rock to covers of everyone from G&R and STP (With camp freddie)

    Wow, how many more reasons can Chris Cornell give me to hate his guts? Letting Chester Bennington sing Hunger Strike is indeed sacriligeous, nearly as bad as his attempt to be a Justin Timberlake cover artist (new song with Timbaland). Fuck you Cornell!

    Chester one of the best lyricists you heard ? Come on. Maybe for rap rock. Cornell can sing with whoever he wants. But all this praise for a rap rock band. If u like rap rock thats cool. I'll admit Chester has some pop in his voice. Good lyricist and singer, no chance.

    And how is this any different than vedder doing hunger strike with corin tucker, and then andrew stockdale?????? Im sure you will say its ok because in your higher than mighty eyes they are better musicians! I say fuck you for being so ignorant.

    Ignorant to what? Chester's genius as a lyricist and singer? I think he's mediocre on both counts - that's not ignorance, that's just my opinion from all the stuff I've heard him do - and I've heard a lot.

    I can take LP in small doses, but I love the LP/Jay-Z collaboration. I really do. They just meshed very well together.

    Cornell is still awesome and always will be, even if he never writes another great song.

    I was not responding to your post, not sure why you would think i am seeing i quoted someone else. I happen to agree with you that chester shouldnt be looked down on, the only reason he is because think linkin park sucks. While i think they are rather mediocre he is a pretty damn good vocalist. Much better singer than corin tucker!!!

    I dont like Corwin Tuckers voice nor Chesters, it's a pretty special song to me and I personally would prefer that the song was only performed with Eddie and Chris on vocals, if it cant be done that way dont do it at all.
