"I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota..." not American, know exactly what he means...looking London, feeling Halifax....
DirtyLittleBirdyFeet
In my shoes, a walking sleep And my youth I pray to keep Heaven sent hell away No one sings like you anymore
delilahviolet
I Am the Highway is powerful for me
bgeezus
Outshined should have been mentioned IMHO.
ahotpotato
I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeaaah.
Jimgurianjimgurian
Another amazing voice silenced far too early.
dirkmcdirk
And he hurt so bad like a soul breaking, but he never said nothing to me....so say hello to heaven...
gryphboi
Black Hole Sun helped me out of my depression after the loss of a loved one. For that, and Chris' talent, I regret not seeing Audioslave or-
gryphboi
Soundgarden live. I had many chances and I thought "maybe next time". His death hit me like an 18 wheeler.
Kael57
Shadow on the sun did it for me.
KeredRednaxela
one of my favorites mostly because of World in Conflict
OlderDutch
He is missed
Traja01
When he died my friend and I got drunk and listened to select tracks for like 6 hours. Only done that once before: when Vonnegut died.
Ditrites
One of favorite singer. He killed himself on my birthday.
arewenotkingsandqueenstogether
He died?!?
TheFakeRickSanchez
I've taken the 18th off work to drive around the countryside listening to his music just like i did the day he died. Rest easy uncle Chris
TheFakeRickSanchez
To clarify im not related. When he died it did feel just like a member of the family had died and that's how i explained it to friends
fmdoodles
I greatly enjoyed his single work. His death hit me hard.
IBringGoodTiddiesAndRear
I bought a poster of him the day after he passed. I still can't put it on my wall.
rabbitinahatonacat
Nearly forgot my broken heart played on the way to work this morning. Good one.
gnarledhalo
Beyond the Wheel was great song
DrSleepyPhZzz
Chester Bennington agreed :(
davehawkey13
First celebrity loss that really affected me. Just wish my son could have heard him live. What a great fucking composer and voice
IWouldDoThings
When I was 13 we had to pick out song lyrics we felt described us and secretly share them. I picked Fell on Black Days. My dad had just died
doctorhat
What would you pick now?
MetalSkeletal
Mine is I Am the Highway.
rafaelfy
Losing Chris and Chester back to back put a massive void in my childhood music.
DrSleepyPhZzz
Agreed
oopsididitagain51
Also Scott Weiland
MetalSkeletal
If I wasn't listening to Soundgarden I was listening to Stone Temple Pilots.

Audioslave always comes across as particlularly poetic for typically regarded as grunge rock. Miss this guy.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
A lot of grunge is poetic. Alice in Chains - Layne Staley is the first thing that comes to mind.
MetalSkeletal
Audioslave is very contemplative, with less of the anger that fueld Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine.
n3ckr0mantic
Agreed
EccentricNimoy
"Rusty Cage" of my faves: https://youtu.be/pBZs_Py-1_0
MatHeadGetz
Road Rash intro! Loved the game, loved the song
TheLastGunslinger
Anyone like “Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart”?
MorganDJones
I did. I enjoyed all of his work. He had an amazing voice
TheLastGunslinger
Was kinda hoping it would be mentioned here. Them verses are wicked good.
Classicdarling
getaway car is my absolute favorite song
ahotpotato
Same!
TankDrop
As much as I love Cornell on that track, and I do. Morello's solo was such a damn funky highlight of that song.
IWouldDoThings
Temple of the Dog!!!

OneShucklak
Im gonna REACH. doooooown
amagiciannamedgob
No one sings like you anymore :(
UnDumb
Listening to "nearly forgot my broken heart" hits me right in the feels every time. Such a damn good song, but the lyrics are fucking sad.
HouseMouseMN
Yeah they are. So goood
DisfiguredGonad
One of the best ever.
Traja01
His voice deserves to be isolated and archived as a global treasure, to say nothing of his songwriting.
Immaturelmgurlmager
Truly the King of Grunge Metal. Nobody could've done it better.
Mehhhhh69
Layne.
MrBinns
Why not both https://youtu.be/4QUgLWz9QeE
MetalSkeletal
Weiland.
davehawkey13
Very close second. At least Alice in chains will carry on. Seen them with their new frontman live and they were deadly
GHOST101010101
AiC releasing new material today I think
davehawkey13
That’s great news, played the shit out of the last album I love Jerry Cantrell
luminousbeing
Seeing his entire body of work with a new lens after his suicide; damn, he poured so much pain into his music. Like a rock form of blues.
lurker9000
His music always resonated deeply with me and I always felt his pain,like it was my own And then he died, and it hurt even more
MetalSkeletal
Rock is heavily influenced by blues. There is a theory that rock started to lose popularity when it moved away from blues 95-00.
clayorrnot
I saw him in Atlanta at the show he did before he died. Fucking bummer man.
MetalSkeletal
Heard it was a good one. What a great/shit story.
clayorrnot
Dude it was amazing. I contemplated going and a friend popped up with tickets at the last minute. It still bothers me.
BlastedSand
"And I don't like what you've got me hanging from"

Kellieface
Like a stone was one of the first songs that made me feel something. I miss him
mypetspider
Chris Cornell was the sound of my childhood and when I heard about his death it hit me so hard I still dont believe sometimes that hes dead
scootdadoot
I feel this.
MetalSkeletal
When I was 12, it was Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Metallica. What a time.
HenryNJessicaPate
Fell on Black Days speaks to me on a spiritual level. I will try to blow the speakers of w/e I'm driving when it comes on.
Thewayofthebear
So don’t you lock up something, that you wanted to see fly - one of my all time favourite lyrics
erischilde
Black hole sun, black days, holy shit. My blackest times sung to me by a voice that knew me better than me. Friend from afar. He is missed.
PotooGeatAndWise
All the voices of my youth have become voices grin the graves. Fuck man, I'm not even old yet.
erischilde
Yeah. We're young. Chester, Wayne static, Cornell, Scott Weiland, Williams from drowning pool. Cobain, shanon from Blind Melon, lanestaley/1
erischilde
bradley nowell (sublime), alice in chains, dimebag.. these are all guys who helped me help myself in terrible times. they all went so young.
sshaveensuda16035772
How could you know tht this would be your faith :(
warick
That whole album is gold. But you're right, great lyrics, great music.
Omakepants
There's some YouTube vids of him doing amazing covers, like Billie Jean and Nothing Compares 2 U. Dude's voice is simply amazing.
5dashHashtagKill
Um, literally listened to those tonight.

Hesselius
I found that the day he died. Cried my god damn eyes out.
CaptainTrips1980
Never seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
JonRichardsonsDustMop
I listened to his Prince cover today while running. My favorite version.
DependingOnTheStreet
Oooohh, never heard him covering Prince before, I can imagine it would be epic!
