you rockers kill me. this song is shit but the rock version (which is basically the same damn song except with added guitars and distortion) is just great?!? yall some dumb asses. this version is tight too.
@hargroove2 Theres guitars in this as well, yet in the rock version there are none of those annoying sound effects that fucking Timbaland puts in every one of his songs.
I allowed myself to be swayed by the critics at first, and just panned this album. Then I listened to it in the background a second time, and then a third, and each time I heard more and more that kept me coming back. I think this is one of Chris Cornell's better songs, and think the material on this album is stronger than the stuff on either of his previous solo albums.
So I say to heck with the critics. Listen to what you like.
did any of you realize that in his chorus of singing "cause im long gone, long gone" that it sounds like alvin and the chipmunks are singing it. oh and ya hate the ryan secrest ads and the rock version completely blows this crap out of the water
lol alvin and the chipmunks! Chris' voice is high but I don't know about THAT high! Anyway this was a radio rip about a month before you could buy the song off itunes, thus the ryan seacrest bit. Anyway ya I agree the rock version much better.
ok lol ya i wasnt trying to dis you or anything for posting the video. actually i give u props for getting it off the radio cause i am not that technilogically inclined lol. and its just the synthesizing that makes it sound like alvin and the chipmunks its not how high it is its just the distortion.
i personally love this song, i haven't really listened to much of Chris' earlier stuff, but i think this song is amazing. He has an amazing voice, and Timbaland has incredible skill, so i reckon its a great combination with a lot of talent and promise.
this was the first time the song was played back in the summer even before the single was released. This recording was taken from the Ryan Seacrest show interview where they played it throughout to keep the bootleggers from getting a good recording.
What the hell? Que asco, que le pasó a este weon? Las drogas le taponearon el cerebro? Se ha vuelto loco... De dónde sacó está basura??? Esta bien explorar las fronteras del rock, pero esto es cómo musho, no? Malo, muy malo
my spanish isn't that great, but I think you said Chris' brain is fried on drugs and this is more than just exploring the boundries of rock...is that right?
I'm a lifelong fan of Cornell and rock and roll in general. Having said that, I don't mind the decision to go mainstream. Chris' voice still sounds great, and I'm sure this new sound will generate him some serious income. As far as rock and roll goes, other than hardcore and more undergroung stuff, does it even still exist?
The interview is simply marketing. Doesn't explain anything except Cornell trying to not lose fans that don't like rnb. Same reason metalicca released the live version of songs from st anger with the album so you could hear them played with a decent sounding drum kit. They know they're releasing crap but they also know you can cover that up with a good marketing campaign. Cornell will go back to rock, I've never seen him look so bored performing songs than the videos of performances from scream.
I have followed Cornell's career from the early days of soundgarden and am a huge fan. This move was totally unexpected and I was quite devastated when I heard that he was going to be working with timbaland - however Chris's last solo album was not good and very stale. Maybe a change of direction was what was needed. I quite like some of the tracks that have been leaked.
the lyrics and singing are good i'll admit its the "beats" that i dont like this sng would be better played with a power chord behinds it. not a drum machine.
that's pretty much the consensus. Look up the live version that was played on late night with Jay Leno it's pretty good. Maybe we'll get a live record to go along with it...
Let's relax everyone. Do you think Kurt Cobain's music would still sound like it did in 1991 if he were alive and making music today? Chris Cornell is talented enough to make many different kinds of music.
Im soooo disappointed with criss :(. This is shame. I mean Soundgarden, Audioslave, his previous solo works... Didnt he thougth how much fans will he dissapiont greedy asshole.
Chris.....dude! What the fuck have you done? Working with that talentless ass timbaland. All he does is add electronic beats to songs and calls them his own. This is shit. Make a real record man!
this is nothing like what chris cornell dun on his albums i dont like it im usually open to music other than rock and i dont mind timbaland but i just dont think these too guys mix:(
Chris para tu cumpleaños te voy a regalar SuperUnknown...memoria!! MEMORIA!!...hdp no te podes ir al pop este manera!!...que traicion al rock! al grunge!!
Estoy seguro que él ya tiene muchas copias de hombre de superunknown. Relájese justo y vaya disfruta de las versiones vivas que son mejores de todos modos. ¡Sus conciertos todavía MECERAN a mi amigo!
It´s different...but good though. Great melodies and easy to listen. No matter what he did before and sure will do after that little trip into another musical dimension; the most important thing is, that he likes what he does and give the people a different kinda view of his talent. Many will say, that this sucks and is just a total sellout; I don´t agree...I like it and rather like to listen to Chris-goes-pop-music, than listen to all those Btritney´s that are on the radio.
It's not too bad, but it's not too good either. I guess it's just that it sounds nothing like the stuff that I love like Black Hole Sun, etc. I saw him at the Electric Factory (with Audio Slave) in Philly, and it was one of the best shows I have ever been to, but I don't think I would pay to see him perform this type of thing.
no. this is brilliant. You don't realise that it's possible to have decent music within the spheres of what are regarded as popular genres. This is better than the work of bands like muse who pretend to come up with something new when they only copy others and re-hash old ideas.
Chris has never sat still with his solo work and this is a progression way beyond the level of his peers. Mark my words: you'll all realise he was ahead of his time. Give it 5-7 years and you'll see.
i hate to agree but this album isnt the chris we all love. timbalands shit is throwing chris into the music that i listen to rock to get away from...sigh
Yeah, they are better live. I'm an album guy myself though and I was just disappointed to see Cornell go in this direction is all. Oh well, this won't be the last album he makes.
lol ya I was just laughing at that guy's comment too. I dig the new stuff from Chris but guitars and drums are where it's at and where it will stay for quite some time!
It's also not in drum machines. I love Chris Cornell and I like some RnB, but if Cornell wanted to make an RnB album he should have went with a better producer. Why is mainstream America all the way up Timbaland's ass with all of his identical sounding beats?
Que no es Justin Timberlake? Oh, no, es Chris Cornell!... horrible cancion. Que vendra despues? un duo con Madonna? con Nelly Furtado??? Una verdadera mierda... Cornell, nos abandonaste... Now, You Sucks! Temple of the dog Rules! Soundgarden Rules! Old Cornell Rules! New Cornell Sucks!
I loved soundgarden, and i do not love this. but that doesn't make it bad music. and its not like chris is doing this for money or fame, he is doing this cause it is what he wants to do. So i guess as long as he is making music and being happy, you can't hate the man. Looking back at all he has done, he deserves respect no matter what he chooses to do. I don't care if he becomes a country singer, as long as he doesn't do it to sell out.
you guys dont know shit about RnB music. this song is fresh as hell. and yes i am a huge soundgarden fan. but this song is genius. brilliant mix of rap n roll. go chris and go timbo-
lopes, you are to young to understand. You see, when you are a teenager and the Seattle music scene defines your teenage angst in the mid 90s, you will not accept the above video.
As a 14-year old, everything Soundgarden did (pre-Superknown) was groundbreaking and I enjoyed it because was an essential part in defining who I was as a person.
The above is just Chris trying to be part of pop culture. It is a shame. What is next? Eddie Vedder dancing with Britney and you'll praise it.
But you're not a teenager anymore and it isn't 1995 anymore either. I'm a different person than I was back then, and I suspect the same is true for you. Why can't the same be true for Chris Cornell?
It's not a crime to change if it is for better I dont like his new sounds, but is just my insignificant opinion. Although I respect others opinion and Chris Cornel, but, sincerely, I dont know what he took from the process of doing this album, or so ever what he is trying to achieve
Its nothing with importance or a lack of self confidence. Of course we can write ours opinions and share with other people that are doing the same, but we wont change anything In the same way that he chose to do this kind of album, he is the only one that can choose not to do them anymore. We can (and we should) express ours opinions on the new sound, but its an internal modification that Cornell will have to do, regardless of how we think.
I said my insignificant opinion because I express my opinion on Cornell's new album based on what music my ears like to hear, on the lyrics that my conscience is requesting and how it affect me, and that don't mean anything (for the universe). But why did you ask that?
you guys dont know shit about RnB music. this song is fresh as hell. and yes i am a huge soundgarden fan. but this song is genius. brilliant mix of rap n roll. go chris and go timbo-
Why should we be running out to buy it to support Chris Cornell? If anybody needs more money it's not him or ...haha TimbAland. The fact that Cornell is now collaborating with the biggest money guzzling hit generator in popular music is reason enough to not but this album. If you really like the music download it from isohunt or limewire or whatever torrent site for free. Timbaland is completely soaking the pop market with his ilk production and everyone, Chris Cornell has been suckered in.
I like both of these artist although i lean more towards cornell because the music he's done with garden and slave has never ending life. I can see this just being listenable for the moment. Other than tim's work with nelly furtado and aaliyah i really don't think i'd go back to listen to much of any of it nowadays or in the future.
Just a note to pass on. On Chris Cornells Blog he wrote that this new album was meant to be listened back to back in its entirity. He wanted to capture how older albums of the past were were a listening expereince and not marketed as a bunch of singles put together
now its, raaainning,hip hop is in so suck my dung,
Ive benn prayyyyingg, I turned to black and have a big dong, but I am fakingggggg, cause Thimberland said he would let me go,,,
cause Im like diamonds and hes like coal, and when mixed togeter they will surely clash, sometimes confessions are hard for me, but I want to make more cash instantlyyyyyy. I say long gone soundgarden.. and audioslave was a joke to me.. I say long
I respect Chris trying to sing with artists of different genres. I was skeptical at first but this Timbaland stuff grows on me. It will sell better than his other solo albums in my opinion.
Well this is still beautiful and honest. I'd rather listen to this than that Audioslave crap. Superunknown however... Will never be touched.. A masterpiece of depth and lasting beauty. Thats the difference between a group of minds compromising and creating art vs one mans direction. Still beautiful though. Let him do his thing.
Thanks Timbaland. As if Rock didn't have enough nails in it's coffin without you poaching one of it's Best Singers and turning him into "Justin Timberlake throws a Sulk."
I think why people are yelling "Sell out" is not because Chris tried a different direction. I think people are yelling "Sell out" because this song is so syrupy . . . so pretty, in kind of a overproduced, glossy way. That raw, honest quality that Chris has seems to be missing here . . . and it makes sense that his fans are bothered by that because that quality is hard to find. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. One more thing: Fuck Ryan Seacrest!
How is someone a sellout because they want to try something different with music? You can't be a sellout in music. Nobody has to stick with one Genre of music. thats not what music is about... so quit with the sellout BULL
FUCK ANYBODY WHO THINKS THIS IS GOOD. HONESTLY GO SUCK A COCK.
My respect for Chris Cornell has gone about as far down as when Metallica did St. Anger. Of course they redeemed themselves with Death Magnetic. The only thing that could redeem Chris now would me a Soundgarden reunion.
You're a Metallica fan? Why did you even click on this video then? You should know all of Chris' solo stuff is much softer than anything he has done with his various bands.
Fuck you ya fucking Jism drinking, coal mining cock loving auto boy. You're typical fucking English. Instead of writing a reply to this you should go back to munching your mothers anus, Or the queens haha, Because I won't be here to read it. SEEYA
I'm from Texas you illiterate moron. Munching my mothers anus? Wow, I haven't heard something as cool as that since the 5th grade. Oh, and sorry I took your attention away from the blowjob you were giving your dad.
Listen buddy I didn't attack you! I insulted Chris Cornell because quite frankly I'm a big fan of his earlier work and listening to this makes me feel sick. What does growing up have to do with anything? Many critics will bash this, as I did. We're all entitled to an opinion. So Fuck you too
Sorry but you called him a fag who works with cocksmokers, not the most intelligent thing I'd ever heard. And who gives a shit about what any stupid ass music critic says? All I'm telling you to do is stop living in the past! If you don't like it then get back to searching google images for animal porn you brain dead incest baby.
He's a fucking fag these days. I don't think Layne or Kurt would have worked with cocksmokers like timbaland and released gay shit like this if they were still around. Fuck him
Dude Layne and Kurt are dead and the 90s died with them. Now grow up like the rest of us and chill the hell out! If you don't like it just hit repeat on Badmotorfinger you moron.
i'm sick of all u pussy posers bitching about the new stuff being "overproduced", or a "sell out", etc. who gives a fuck? cornell has already established himself as one of the greatest rock vocalists of our generation, so why not let him try some other styles before he retires? i guarantee you he gets twice as many new faces on his upcoming tour that he wouldn't get if he just kept putting out the same old stuff... and what's so bad about that?
You'll have to forgive me but i dont like it
i'm used to Chris being surrounded by loud blasting instruments not this techy stuff, just not my thing

Love Soundgarden Too , this is just another facet of Chris's musical skill. Timbo cant sing, he couldn't have collab'd with a more soulful singer.
NWforager 3 years ago 2
weird...
I loved soundgarden, and i do not love this. but that doesn't make it bad music. and its not like chris is doing this for money or fame, he is doing this cause it is what he wants to do. So i guess as long as he is making music and being happy, you can't hate the man. Looking back at all he has done, he deserves respect no matter what he chooses to do. I don't care if he becomes a country singer, as long as he doesn't do it to sell out.

lopes, you are to young to understand. You see, when you are a teenager and the Seattle music scene defines your teenage angst in the mid 90s, you will not accept the above video.
As a 14-year old, everything Soundgarden did (pre-Superknown) was groundbreaking and I enjoyed it because was an essential part in defining who I was as a person.
The above is just Chris trying to be part of pop culture. It is a shame. What is next? Eddie Vedder dancing with Britney and you'll praise it.

But you're not a teenager anymore and it isn't 1995 anymore either. I'm a different person than I was back then, and I suspect the same is true for you. Why can't the same be true for Chris Cornell?
meanstreak1977 3 years ago
It's not a crime to change if it is for better I dont like his new sounds, but is just my insignificant opinion. Although I respect others opinion and Chris Cornel, but, sincerely, I dont know what he took from the process of doing this album, or so ever what he is trying to achieve
eramtresvezes 3 years ago
how insignificant do you think you are?
mulbert6 3 years ago
Its nothing with importance or a lack of self confidence. Of course we can write ours opinions and share with other people that are doing the same, but we wont change anything In the same way that he chose to do this kind of album, he is the only one that can choose not to do them anymore. We can (and we should) express ours opinions on the new sound, but its an internal modification that Cornell will have to do, regardless of how we think.
eramtresvezes 3 years ago
I said my insignificant opinion because I express my opinion on Cornell's new album based on what music my ears like to hear, on the lyrics that my conscience is requesting and how it affect me, and that don't mean anything (for the universe). But why did you ask that?

Why should we be running out to buy it to support Chris Cornell? If anybody needs more money it's not him or ...haha TimbAland. The fact that Cornell is now collaborating with the biggest money guzzling hit generator in popular music is reason enough to not but this album. If you really like the music download it from isohunt or limewire or whatever torrent site for free. Timbaland is completely soaking the pop market with his ilk production and everyone, Chris Cornell has been suckered in.

I like both of these artist although i lean more towards cornell because the music he's done with garden and slave has never ending life. I can see this just being listenable for the moment. Other than tim's work with nelly furtado and aaliyah i really don't think i'd go back to listen to much of any of it nowadays or in the future.

Just a note to pass on. On Chris Cornells Blog he wrote that this new album was meant to be listened back to back in its entirity. He wanted to capture how older albums of the past were were a listening expereince and not marketed as a bunch of singles put together

I respect Chris trying to sing with artists of different genres. I was skeptical at first but this Timbaland stuff grows on me. It will sell better than his other solo albums in my opinion.
Because of how this "public mind" responds/works.

Well this is still beautiful and honest. I'd rather listen to this than that Audioslave crap. Superunknown however... Will never be touched.. A masterpiece of depth and lasting beauty. Thats the difference between a group of minds compromising and creating art vs one mans direction. Still beautiful though. Let him do his thing.

Thanks Timbaland. As if Rock didn't have enough nails in it's coffin without you poaching one of it's Best Singers and turning him into "Justin Timberlake throws a Sulk."

As for sell out comments. You wish you could. If you want rock, go buy the last album. Oh, right - you didn't because it sucked.
lsf 3 years ago
I think why people are yelling "Sell out" is not because Chris tried a different direction. I think people are yelling "Sell out" because this song is so syrupy . . . so pretty, in kind of a overproduced, glossy way. That raw, honest quality that Chris has seems to be missing here . . . and it makes sense that his fans are bothered by that because that quality is hard to find. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. One more thing: Fuck Ryan Seacrest!
