I remember when Rage Against the Machine was my favorite band. Then I started listening to Audioslave. Chris Cornell. Man, he was my hero at that time.
the fact that he can sing that well and play guitar at the same time is amazing..i can sing ok but when i play guitar my voice gets all fucked up trying to keep the guitar sounding right
chris cornell and an acoustic guitar just straight the fuck up belong together...what i would do for a personal acoustic concert, let alone an acoustic concert period.
Yeah the Tom Morello solo for this songs sounds like a cat getting fucked in the ass. literally. He has cool solo's but for just Original Fire he really fucked. This Acoustic version has a more badass groove like when Johnny Cash did Rusty Cage
Yes Westchewbacca I am going to have to make a similar threat, you have to be a complete imbecile to have written that.....dumbass......(sigh) what a dumbass.....
i think i basically know what chris feels like in audioslave.he wrote a beautiful piece such as this and all morello did was make noise during the solo.Don't get me wrong i love morello but sometimes,just too many effects and no melody
tknauer I saw the man himself a couple weeks ago and he can still pull off the killer notes! His voice has gotten better if anything, so for u to say that his vocals are getting worse is bullshit! Have u actually listened to any of his recent stuff!? His new album is great, totally refreshing for there to b a new album out that I actually want, all the indie crap and so called rock bands out there just now can't touch Chris, he's a legend, which is something no new artists will never be!!
shinedown hasn't done shit, and will never be remembered the way cornell will. theyre a cheap immitation of what alternative rock used to be, and any mention of their talent surpassing that of cornell can only be made by a truely jaded and unintelligent individual. fuckass.
hey born....brent smith has a damn good voice. But Shinedown's music cant touch Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, or Cornell's solo stuff. Shinedown's biggest hit was a cover, Cornell is an icon.....game over
Does anyone have tabs to any of the stripped sessions. Sad that Audioslave broke,but i'm totally stoked about RAGE reunion. I live in Cali and was lucky ennough to get Coachella tickets b4 they sold out.
i think his voice is better now it may not be as rough but it sounds cleaner and in tune with the song listening to his old live stuff it dosen't sound half as gd as this
Yeah, these stripped sessions sound great, and give optimism for Cornell's next solo CD, but let's be realistic: he can't even hit notes he recorded four years ago. His vocals get worse and worse with every album. Not smoking? Great. But it's too late for him ever to approach what he once was. The list of modern singers I would put over Cornell right now is as long as a roll of toilet paper. Because he can't yell worth shit anymore.
your a dumbass tknauer there is not one modern singer as good as chris cornell and revelations was actually the best album so wtf are u talking about. also early soundgarden cornell sounded horrible
Oh yes, since his rehab experience his voice has been getting progressively better. People don't realize how much "dryer" the production on his voice is now then it was in the Soundgarden days. All those effects made things sound A LOT different as well. Delay and Reverb - the vocalists best friend.
Ok, I have one question, I've seen a lot of footage of Chris playing solo audioslve's songs, like he was promoting the new album on his own wich makes me think about one thing, I think he recorded the album knowing that he was leaving the band right after finishing revelations.
Yeah i agree, its not very much a unison if one person goes and promotes their own versions on their own :p I'm glad he's gone solo though, i loved that as much as soundgarden.
you kno why iot seems his voice is back and stronger.... well its kuz theres no guitar blasting and bbasss blasting and.. when he toured, He used to sing back to back and that hurts the throat so now hes been on break so he kan ripp the vocals up
Meh. I disagree. I think this is the perfect single to choose. *sigh* Soundgarden need to get back together for a one off tour. That would be awesome. Great clip by the way
His voice is back and stronger than ever. I dont know why he released this song as the single for Revelations. I think Sound of a Gun, Shape of Things to Come, and Jewel of the Summertime were all better than this.
finally someone mentions Jewel of the Summertime. Great song. But my favourites are Wide Awake and Moth,both of which would make great singles,especially Wide Awake
my question is : Can this man make everything so fucking amazing???
