    Every time I hear blow up the outside world it reminds me of my favourite Soundgarden show.  It was my 3rd time seeing Soundgarden, but first time seeing them headline their own show (first 2 times were lolla '92 and '96).   I enjoyed it so much it turned me from being a casual concert goer to a hard core one.    Ben Sheppard was super pissy that night, but the band rocked so hard in spite of it.   Maybe they were fueled from it.   I have this very vivid memory of crowd surfing to the rail and shaking Chris' hand as security caught me (and placed me back on the ground).    Security was awesome that night.  As rowdy as the pit got, everytime someone went down, 20 people reached in to pick the person up.   Someone lost their glasses and we formed a circle so the could get them....

    So many memories from shows from Chris Cornell's various bands, but this concert always takes the cake.  Every time I hear blow up the outside world it takes me back to that show.   I love shows I've seen where there's a single song that takes me right back.

    Still bummed I'll never see anything like that again :(

    I Promise It's Not Goodbye nearly brings me to tears every time.

  • I think there’s gonna be a pretty big void without Chris around as PJ starts to play shows again. Will feel different.

    Thank God he did the Temple tour.

    Sincerity dies when the tongue has brain cells
    In an instant you became me
    I drift off into audioslave albums
    3 of them
    Fuckin blow up the outside world
    I'd be waiting to sincerity in the fire
    I'm the first to dive into the gators mouth
    We are like lambs with lampeyes
    Im never talking about god
    Intelligent people dissapear
    Chris, they always wanna fight me
    I love you sincerly. Save you

    I don't know if this is the right thread, or if there's even a right thread for this, so mods, feel free to delete. But...I have OCD, and in 2006 was given a prescription of Ativan. I took it intermitently through 2013, then stopped. Chris' death caused an OCD lapse, which I knew was going to happen the second I heard about it. I attacked OCD like a man possessed - but part of the treatment was an increased dosage of my daily antidepressant, and to bridge the gap I began taking Ativan again. I took it for a couple weeks, then stopped, and hadn't taken it since June...and then last week realized I still had the pills at home and at work.
    So I got rid of them.
    Look: I have no idea if benzos contributed to Chris' death or not. But I've done a lot of research over the past few months and learned a lot about them, and I wanted them out of my life. Even though I wasn't using them, symbolically, it felt great disposing of the pills (at the pharmacy! we don't flush pills in this house!) and then having a ceremonial disposal of the pill container itself.
    I've gotta believe there are silver linings to Chris' death. I wasn't sure how I felt (or feel, for that matter) about Vicky's crusade against benzos, but her raising awareness about their potential pitfalls is a silver lining. My therapist declared me recovered in November - so that's a silver lining, too.

    she's not on a crusade against the meds. she's on a crusade of awareness and over-prescribing, at least that's how I see it. I saw her in an interview explicitly state that many people benefit from these drugs, but recovering addicts are not in that group. 

    we now know that chris relapsed. chester also relapsed, and his wife claims the shame of that is what ended his life. maybe that had something to do with Chris's frame of mind at the time as well. who knows. but one thing's for sure: too many doctors are just writing these scripts willy nilly, and they need to be taken more seriously and with close monitoring.

    That's more what I meant; thanks for articulating it so much better! The increased awareness is a silver lining. Further to your final point, I thought this was an interesting article:
