Chris Cornell

[LeeThePeople]

Always been a big fan of Chris Cornell (tried to book him to play my wedding but couldnt afford him), whether it be his solo stuff,temple of the dog, soundgarden, audioslave and I even liked the Bond theme he did. But ive just heard his new single and gotta say its really upset me

His entire new album is with Timbaland and he is saying its his best album he's done in his entire carrear, he's certainly going to alienate a lot of fans. But find a lot of new ones with the hip crowd timbaland brings.

Well gutted here's a video to cheer me up

WTF is Timbaland?

[LeeThePeople]

He's an "ear ya yo"

[Podie]

oh crap.

Re-discovered Down on the Upside recently and really enjoying it.

Soundgarden - one of the best bands ever. Don't rate anything else he's done really.

Pretty Noose is great whilst !

Yeah that track is amusingly bad! I imagine working with Tim was a financial choice.
This'll make you feel better though:

This is a bit of a disappointment. I've like almost everything else he has done too.

I was hoping that he might get the microphone in Velvet Revolver for a while but I guess he's doing the hip hop thing for a bit now.

Hmmm must give those a listen when i get home tonight, but i must say i am a bit worried reading some of the comments here.

leethepeople - just out of interest , how much would it have cost to hire him for your wedding?

£100k plus expenses, work visa, private jet, hotels, loss of earnings elsewhere we were looking at £250k!!

We ended up with a Pearl Jam tribute band called Rearviewmirror who did all my fave Pearl Jam songs, plus a few soundgarden and temple of the dogs hunger strike which is my all tame fave - Thing is, they were billed as a PJ tribute act but when they played temple of the dog everyone just shouted chris cornell as if the band didnt know what they where playing - numpties!!

One of my favourite songs ever. Vedder's voice is astonishing.

Gutted about the Timbaland collaboration
