Terrible, terrible news. Soundgarden were one of my favourite bands for a long time.

There goes my weekend. Time for a grunge binge.

 

[SSwans2011]

Holy crap! Literally five minutes ago I was listening to The Day I Tried to Live.

Saw them quite a few times from their badmotorfinger days onwards. We've lost a giant... What a ******* voice!

So many great tracks but Jesus Christ Pose is my favourite. A monster track.

 

[Nostradumbass]

This is a massive ****ing shock

 

[Muunky Tuunk Man]

Absolutely shattered and shocked by this. I can't believe it. RIP Chris Cornell

This is just me reflecting, wasn't really into Soundgarden as much as i was Pearl Jam, obviously i have around 5 songs that i love though...burden in my hand was the one that got stuck in my head and black hole sun.

Much younger days, I recall a lot of my friends listening to Chris Cornell's solo stuff in the early 90s, i obviously remember the Soundgarden singles as they were on radio a lot, but i remember a lot of people in conversations talking about his solo material...

So he was a big part of music culture back then, a household name to some degree.

Mine too. I remember them closing with Jesus Christ Pose at the Sydney Big Day Out in 1994 - totally mind ****ingly awesome.

Their show at Selinas on that tour was also a total mind ****. .

There's way too many good songs to list. Superunknown. Fell On Black Days. Burden In My Hand. Jesus Christ Pose. Limo Wreck. 4th of July. Rusty Cage. Blow Up The Outside World. Black Rain. You could just keep going there's so many!

When you've got a backlog as great as Soundgarden's, I don't think it's really necessary to have a list of what is the best.

From my photo vault - these are from 2012 at The Myer Music Bowl.

Remember the greatness.

One of the greatest. Saw Soundgarden play at BDO a few years ago. Amazing.

RIP Chris.

 

[pjcrows]

Cornell's solo acoustic show is comfortably the best vocal performance I've seen.

 

[Premiers04]

Grew up listening to Soundgarden.

This one hurts, that voice is gone forever

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Was hoping it wasn't suicide ...

****ing hell

Soundwave? Was an amazing set. Was great to see old favourites like Soundgarden, AIC and FNM play soundwave in recent years.

Why the **** would he suicide? Been clean for a decade, has a family, 3 teenage kids, in the middle of a tour. Seems sus.

And why are so many rock legends dropping off as soon as they hit 50's?

Bloody legend. A voice unequalled. Dammit.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Shit, shocking news. Been a fan of his music for a long time. One of the great rock vocalists.

 

[razarback]

Just fell on to black days after hearing the news. R.I.P you fnnnnnng legend

 

[Hotham Hawk]

RIP Chris. Absolutely flat right now.
