My dad won't be too happy about that

I didn't like the guys music except for a few hits from Audioslave because Rage Against The Machine was such a great band that I had to keep following Morello, Commerford, and Wilk. Even though I didn't like his music, R.I.P.

Didn't knew he existed until he made the theme song for Casino Royale.

Just listened to it in his name.

Damn, that sucks.

I'm not happy about that either, I still remember when black old sun released. The dude died way too young.

I was shock to hear this bad news this morning hearing Chris Cornell passed away at the age of 52! 52 is just way too young to die man, just too young :(

I happen to be a fan of Audioslave musics and I also like an little Soundgarden musics but never was a huge fan of them however.

Music of my youth

You kids...

black HOLE sun

way too young, I was a fan of Soundgarden and was happy about there recent return with "King Animal" and I was looking forward to there new album.

Cornell had one of the best voices in rock/metal

And he can say to us with confidence, "You know my name"

(Sad news)

Woah....that sucks. RIP.

Not really a fan,but sorry to hear the bad news. :(

Woke up to this. Sad news indeed.

My pandora radio station plays Soundgarden and Audioslave. RIP.

Damn shame! I liked his work with Soundgarden and his kick ass Bond theme for Casino Royale. :(

They're investigating it as a suicide currently. Sad...RIP.

Really sad, loved quite a few audioslave songs.

Well.. that fucking sucks.

RIP

RIP, amazing voice

ah that sucks, Soundgarden is one of my favourite bands and got me into heavier music. Glad I saw them live 5-6 years ago when they first got back together before King Animal released

RIP dude

That would be a shame if it turns out to be the case. I thought he hadn't had bouts of depression since getting clean 15 years ago.

That's the thing, people can hide depression pretty well. The article just updated and it has been determined that he hanged himself. He must have had this planned out for a while what with his final concert happening on the same day. I just hope he found peace within himself. It's a shame that he must have felt that he had no reason to live. He's definitely one of my favorite singers and I especially enjoyed the music he helped create with Audioslave.

Reports already confirm it was indeed Suicide!

That's a shame. Didn't really follow his music too closely but I enjoyed a few songs when he was in Soundgarden.

R.I.P. Chris Cornell

RiP

Sad to hear. Scream was a great album. I need to listen to that again.

Thought it was a hoax when my friend sent me a text about it. Growing up in early 90's with Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam was a great time. Always remember catching the Soundgarden video for "Outshined", such an amazing track. Going to have to boot up the Badmotorfinger album again.

Eddie Vedder the lone frontman and in a way Jerry Cantrell although he was mainly back-up for Layne, are all that remain from the Seattle breakout.

Saw them a few years ago. Damn shame

A beautiful man with a beautiful soul who did amazing music and who did everything he could to help people every chance he got and man.... of all the artists deaths over the past two years, this one actually hurts...

I still can't believe it.

Rest in peace Chris Cornell.

R.I.P Chris sucks.

I was pretty shocked to hear about this yesterday morning. I found out about it from the radio.

As a fan of Soundgarden and a lot of Cornell's other work, this death came as a complete shock to me. I was even more stunned to hear it was ruled as a suicide, since I was expecting to get home and read that it was health problems.

Rock music lost another one of its great vocalists. It's just stunning how so many front-men from the grunge era are no more. RIP Chris Cornell.

Thinking about picking up a Temple of the Dog CD sometime, since I never had really gotten around to that for my collection yet.

Like a stone bro, may you be everlasting.

I had a Soundgarden/Audioslave tribute day yesterday. I got pretty emotional throughout Superunknown (it was the album that brought me into alt rock and metal). Black Hole Sun was bad.

@foxhound_fox: me too, got into Audioslave pretty late, "shadow of the sun" was featured in the film collateral, I heard Cornells voice and was hooked.

Then explored all Soundgardens catalogue too, Badmotofinger being my favourite album its more to my tastes, although Superunknown was a great album too.

My wife had Collateral on a few nights ago when I got home from work. Recognized Cornell as soon as the song started. Man... this is hitting me harder than I thought it would. He has been a big part of my musical life for the last 13 or so years.

me to man, around 10 years Audioslave & Soundgarden have always been in my music playlists

If you haven't done so already, go and listen to Ultramega OK. It's a raw, primitive form of what Soundgarden grew into later down the road. "Beyond the Wheel" and "Smokestack Lightning" are incredible showcases of what he was capable of as a vocalist, and honestly, the intensity he harnesses in those two songs is never repeated in any other studio releases I've heard.

The finale of the latter will blow your mind.

@foxhound_fox: I will do that, will listen to their whole catalogue thanks to spotify.

Sweet fucking hell... 24 years later, and he's still hitting the same goddamned notes... live:

We lost a great man on Wednesday. I'm getting really choked up right now.

Looks like cause of death is suicide by strangulation.

And this is not Cornell:

This is a man who has given up on life and wants to end it. His "soul" is gone. This is devastating.

Shadow of the sun one of my fav songs!

holy shit, that was hard to watch, he sounds and looks so off.

He nailed this acoustic version of "Billie Jean"

R.I.P. :( He was a great musician. I wish he never committed suicide. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
