    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"


    Haunting.  RIP CC.  You are greatly missed. Prayers to his family and friends.

    I'm feeling completely empty right now.
    It's difficult for people to understand how some of us are so emotionally connected to music. My heart is broken. 
    Say Hello 2 Heaven, Chris.

    So fucking sad today! Difficult to comprehend this news. Say Hello To Heaven Chris....you will be missed terribly! Good thoughts to his family, friends and the entire Soundgarden/Audioslave/Pearl Jam/TOTD/Seattle music community. We just lost one of the greats.

    I made my  rip post on Facebook, I just wanna see how you guys think this effects pj. To me I'd put it up there with Andy. Wouldn't be surprised to see them do hunger strike and reach down and all at shows more but as far as recording and all I'm not sure. I mean the dude is on the pj documentary... it's a sad situation. Dude was a legend

    Ya some people don't understand how we can be upset about someone we don't personally know, but the music makes us feel like we lived all those times with him. And its the end of someone and something we loved.

    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. :-/
    This kind of reminds me of '94 because I felt Kurt's death was also out of the blue.   There had been headlines that he had OD'd, but when I was younger you thought musicians were indestructible, so my brain never really considered he would die (or take his own life).    Out of all the things that I thought would happen that day, it wasn't on the list.   Just like this morning when I got out of the shower and heard my wife shout out, this wasn't anywhere in my radar either... totally out of nowhere :(  sigh...

    I felt the same way when I compare this to Layne Staley.  I think the difference between layne and Kurt dying with Chris is that Layne and kurts deaths were almost expected. Both were troubled and deep into drug abuse. Not that Chris suffered any less or didn't have dependency issues, they just weren't as publicized.  

    Plus, we got to listen to Chris for the better part of 30 years. Be gave us much more music than the other 2. And the fact that Chris had so much success with not only SG, but Audioslave and a solo career. 

    Either way, it's a sad day for not only music fans, but the world. The gift  this gave us all will not be forgotten.

    that is really great...

    and it sends shivers down my spine at the same time...

    so many thoughts and not enough words.
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
