Chris Cornell has died aged 52

All I do with the links is take the "s" out of "https" and copy and paste the link here when i'm on my laptop. I only use the "share" option if i'm on my phone.

 

I think she chose Embed before copying the link. That puts HTML code into it, and that won't work in here.

 

You also have to uncheck the Share Playlist box if it's there, because that also adds extra code that the board can't use.

 

Yes, grandmaw finally figured it out. Thanks, kids.

 

Did you make cookies, grandmaw? I think I smell cookies.

This one is heartbreaking:

The one with his kids...jesus.

 

Right? :(

 

I'm totally binging on Soungarden today while I work. Continued from late last night where I was up till 3am.

Do you know what really impressed me about this video. The children are wearing earmuffs.

 

Absolutely correct. Whenever I'm at a wedding or some other type of party where there's loud music, and I see a little kid dancing near the band or DJ and their parents are just standing there thinking "Oh how cute" without regard for the high volumes, I get pissed off.

Yes. I am the same way. It infuriates me.

I did an earlier post of chris and his daughter doing a duet from his tour a year or so ago. It's on youtube and similarly heartbreaking being so current.

 

Many family photos on his instagram page. My favorite is his daughter photobombing Chris and Jimmy Page.

Certainly not much solace for his kids at this point, but at least they're old enough now to have many fond memories.

It's working, thanks.

 

I truly didn't know much about this song before he died. Now I can't stop listening to it.

 

That the title sequence song from 2006's Casino Royale, the first Bond movie with Daniel Craig. Easily my favorite Bond song.

Yes! It seems so perfect for a Bond movie, right? Did you watch that live performance? He nailed it.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that until you posted it. :)

Two of my favorite tributes:

 

A 225 piece choir singing Black Hole Sun

 

 

 

 

The Pretty Reckless covering Like A Stone

 

This one is hands down my favorite. The singer Taylor is a huge Soundgarden fan & Chris was her hero.

The Pretty Reckless were one of Soundgarden's opening acts on their recent tour & had played that night in Detroit.

 

The emotion coming out of her while singing you can't help but tear up.

Yes, that last one is very moving. I've watched it a few times.

Today is Chris' funeral and I wanted to share Tom Morello's poem.

You're a prince, you're a snare, you're a shadow

You're twilight and star burn and shade

You're a sage, you're a wound shared, you're masked

You're a pillar of smoke, you're a platinum heart

You're a brush fire, you're caged, you're free

Your vision pierces, you do not see

You are pieces strewn on the hillside

You're open armed, you're armed, you're true

You're a revealer of visions, you're the passenger, you're a never fading scar

You're twilight and star burn and shade

You're the secret veiled, you're the secret revealed, you're surrounded no more

You're not there, now you're always here

You're a handsome groom, a loving father, a haunted stairwell

You're the clear bell ringing, the mountains echo your song

Maybe no one has ever known you

You are twilight and star burn and shade

Rest in Peace Chris

I read this poem last weekend, and was overwhelmed with its perfection. Tom is brilliant and clearly loved Chris very much.

I'm doing art again for the first time since I moved. I'm doing all kinds of sketches of Chris Cornell, Roger Moore, and Ariana Grande too. I'm thinking of calling this whole project "Like a Stone" in honor of Chris. I need to find a place to upload them.

I'll bet that Kurt Cobain never had Brad Pitt or James Hetfield at his funeral.

This is very bad taste.

Not a fair thing to say here. Chris was alive for much longer and had the chance to touch the lives of a lot more people. I seem to recall Cobain's memorial service being attended by thousands of people. No doubt there were many well known names there.

The one thing I've noticed is almost every tribute is someone performing Black Hole Sun. I had no idea that was his defining song. Its a great sun, but he has so many great ones.

I personally love "Blow Up The Outside World" even better and that has kind of the same vibe.

You should check out the tribute videos in this thread. There are a number of different songs. Including a great version of Blow Up The Outside World by Living Color.

It's a good one. For me I really like fell on black days as it has his softer and louder vocals throughout and the subject matter was suitable to the whole vibe of the band.

Let's not forget with these tributes bands are probably playing a song they already know how to play or is easy for them to learn. Not to mention easiest for them to sing.

 

I don't care how talented a band might be. No one can bust out a song like Slaves And Bulldozers or Jesus Christ Pose on short notice without a number of rehearsals.

I'm not on board with the "Black Hole Sun" worship. It's a good song, but like you pointed out there are a lot of great Soundgarden songs. Many of them preferable to "Black Hole Sun". But, I'm not complaining about the tributes. It's obviously a song a lot of people enjoy.
