I think the new song is GOD AWFUL, His singing is alright but musically there is nothing there all I hear is a "Boom-Boom, Clash" sound repeating over and over and over and over ...

It's so annoying!

I am a huge Soundgarden fan. I can honestly say I am so sick of all of these negative comments directed at Chris. True, you are entitled to your opinion but please don't be mean about it.
If you don't care for his current songs so be it. Move on then and stop the bashing. I'm sure his next solo record will be totally different than this one. I've seen Soundgarden in concert twice ('94 and '96

Holy crap, this is so awesome, K! All these Chris Cornell fans whining in defense of their darling.

Everyone knows his pipes have been on a downward slide for a long time, but if he wants to cash in and get a tan now, I say go for it. It creates lotsa comments.

PS- Listen to Slayer.

Oh, and in case I didn't spell it out clearly enough:

You like Chris Cornell; I no longer do. Hurray for both of us.

Go spend time fangirling over him with other people who actually still care. You are truly wasting your valuable time here.

Comment all you want here, but ... "Carry On" sucks. CC hasn't written a decent song in years. You're free to spend money on his shit, but I'm done.

Blogs are meant to be commented on, thus, the comment section. I wasn't berating you, tho you were choking with laughter on mine, sweetheart.

Whenever someone starts to have an opinion other than the popular one, things always start to get ugly.

And of course, some don't know how to post without getting mean.

2008-09-01T09:33:00.000-07:00

I've been a fan since the mid 90s, and he's singing one hell of a lot better now than he was in that decade, when he was thin, sick and frequently out of his head on booze. Seen him last year and this, met him, talked to him, and neither time did he look like he'd been anywhere near a tanning salon or a bottle of fake tan. He had regained much of his original range and vocal strength, too. I'd

"I don't think I was being obnoxious or rude. I am just stating that tho Chris had better range in Soundgarden, he has consistently hit high notes and gives a better overall performance on a CONSISTENT level, day after day, performance after performance"

But the songs suck!

2008-08-26T19:17:00.000-07:00

Dude, a reason doesn't have to be given for why it sucks--all anyone has to do is listen to it to realize it's sub-par musical quality. Listen to an early Soundgarden, an early Audioslave, a late Audioslave, any one of his solo stuff, and then his latest Timbanell creations and it's easy to see the downward rushing tide of the waterfall plunging in the swirling churning mass of other

So, his darker complexion means not a thing to me. There's dark-skinned, and there's orange and leathery. That's CC now.

I've been a fan for as long as you, and own about 95% of his catalog, so I'd calm down a bit before making the thinly veiled accusations of racism or playing the uberfan card, anonymouse.

2008-08-26T17:44:00.000-07:00

First off, I have to wonder why it matters to you how dark Mr. Cornell is? Does his complexion alter your opinion of his music? I have been a fan for 16 years and never once have I felt disapointed by the music he has been involved in. If you were to spend a day listening to his entire catalog you would undoubtedly hear the constant evolution of his sound. You can't say that about the majority of

2008-08-26T10:24:00.000-07:00

not only is overt tanning unnecessary, but unhealthy.

And why is it terrible that someone isn't playing into blind fandom? a part of being a true fan of anything from books, music, television, movies, etc. is being discerning and not just following someone around because of his/her name. It's looking at something with a critical eye and realizing whether it stands up to what they've done

2008-08-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

Clearly the Chris Cornell fan community has me in their sights. Heh, amusing. I was one of you once, sisters!

It may "terrible," but the truth often is, E-Dogg. But that's cool. Soundgarden fans have moved on. That means more Chris for you!

"And the little comment about Cornell's "tanning" was absolutely unnecessary."

So is excessive tanning. I'm sorry, LOOK AT HIM.

2008-08-26T08:07:00.000-07:00

I think that what the "author" of this article has said here is absolutely TERRIBLE. And the little comment about Cornell's "tanning" was absolutely unnecessary.

I recently saw Cornell perform at both Alpine Valley (in Wisconsin) and at the Verizon Wireless Center (in Indiana) and I must say that I thought both he and the band sounded GREAT! Cornell's new musical direction is going to

2008-08-25T15:01:00.000-07:00

That song is pretty bad; sounds like a knock-off Daughtry ballad. He looked bored singing it. Maybe the rest of the album is better (let's hope so anyway).

2008-08-25T12:42:00.000-07:00

Wow, I just watched that clip, and then when his sappy mock-intensity became to much to take, I just listened to it.

This. Is. Crap.

Is his voice still better than a majority of male vocalists out there? I guess. But it's nothing compared to what it used to be, and it has been put to evil service in this whiny-ass song.

I weep for what was. Sigh.

Anonymous--you know, I wanted to blame the wife too, but I just can't. CC has been known to be a litiguous cuss long before he met up with the current mrs. I think he's just fallen into the 'wanna be a rock star' mindset as he's gotten older and alienated many of his truly good musician brethren. He's no longer about solid, well-thought out, well-played music, but instead about ensuring he has a

QGM: Your message is A-OK! No deletion here. I would only delete personal attacks anyway.

I have to say, I must respectfully disagree as well about his voice being better than in SG, he's got about at least a quarter of the range he had back then, whenever he's in the higher register he's totally straining, where as he never had to before. The CC of today could never, ever hit that

2008-08-25T09:39:00.000-07:00

Quietlygoingmad - well at least you've made it obvious what your REAL issue is!

BUT - I've heard nothing but stellar reviews of all his live performances over the past year and a half - including the new songs. Definitely another new direction for him.

2008-08-25T08:37:00.000-07:00

OMG!! I am feeling the same way. Where did that wonderful howling banshee that we once knew go off and make something with Timbawhatever?? It makes me sick. My one sided love affair has ended as well.

Must be that new wife and her end lifestyle he's trying to support. Damn, where is Susan silver when you need her?
