Someone on one of those Hollywood shows just made a comment about all the Seattle lead singers being gone except Ed and made an I'm Still Alive joke...I wanted to reach through the television and punch him in the throat. Going to be a tough day. I can't concentrate on anything.
I was at the show with my wife last night celebrating our 15 year anniversary. We were 5th row and all seemed well. Lots of shout outs to Detroit and he sounded / looked good. Intense ending to the show with Slaves and Bulldozers and a tag of 'In My Time of Dying" by Zeppelin.
So very sad....R.I.P. Chris
If you have a chance to make life better for others, and fail to do so, you are wasting your time on this earth.
What a brutal and shocking loss of someone with such unique and immense talent. I feel terrible for his family and friends. And I feel terrible selfishly as a music fan. Three bands have basically ended today. I hope his family can find some peace somewhere along the line. Hope Chris is rocking with Andy, Layne and Kurt right now.
Their last song last night, "Slaves and Bulldozers" with some of Zeppelin's "In My Time of Dying" in there starting at 6:36.
"Meet me, Jesus, meet me Meet me in the middle of the air If my wings should fail me, Lord Meet me with another pair Well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Jesus gonna make up my dying bed ... And I promise, in my time of dying I ain't gonna cry I ain't gonna moan All I need for you to do Is drag my body home"
Thanks for posting. Good version. Was the 3rd song I listened to today, after Say Hello 2 Heaven and Hunger Strike. Never got into SG but knew they were a great band. Watching the PJ20 DVD made me realize how Chris was as much the heart of the Seattle scene as anyone could be. Sorry to see him go so young.
First song I heard today was Seasons by Chris Cornell. He was most certainly one of the greatest to ever do it. An incredible talent that will never be forgotten.
Horrible, horrible news. Prayers going out to his family and those who are very close to him. Felling like crap but I can't even imagine how they are feeling...

I'm having trouble functioning. his poor family and friends.
If he only talked to someone. He would of had so much support
sometimes that makes little or no difference. having suffered with depression for the last 20 years, I also have a lot of support, and I also understand how that can be of little impact to a suffering brain.
So terrible. He was in peak form when I saw him with Temple in San Fran. Lost way to soon. Lots of love to his family immediate and extended.
Totally agree. I'm grateful for having been able to see that show, they were incredible. Really sad day.

I'm with you brother. Some people don't understand the mental tug of war we endure. "Cause I fell on.....black days" RIP Chris
I'm not sure if I believe in a existence after death, but today I truly hope Chris and Andy are reunited somewhere and making beautiful music together...

Really tough start to the day. Thoughts with the family, friends, and all the fans like myself. There has been a good live tribute on sirius xm channel 106 today.
It's been a CC/SG music day for me at work today... listened to nothing but his voice. Songs I've listened to over and over again still give me goosebumps. Blind Dogs @ 3:39 when his vocal chords scream in...

Totally NUMB. Can't wrap my head around this. Sometimes life just throws unimaginable things your way. Very Sad. So Sorry to hear this news. All the best to his family and friends. Not fair at all. Can't believe it's true. What an absolute heartbreak.
I just saw him in Alabama and was supposed to see him again in Texas next week. I feel sick. How is this really happening? I'm so devastated for his family also. R.I.P. Chris, thank you for everything.
This is somehow feeling worse and hitting me harder than '94 did. Maybe because unlike Kurt this seems so out of the blue. Maybe because of how connected Chris was to Eddie's rise. Maybe because I was totally doped to the fucking gills at TOTD NYC and immensely regret blowing that experience ... I don't know but it's cutting so hard. Grrrr. :-/
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?

somebody's best friend died ...
born without a friend,
and bound to die alone.
im thinking of your highness,
and crying long upon the loss.
Cuz I fell on - black days,
... just like suicide.
And the seasons roll on by.
