Chris Cornell’s Guns N’ Roses cover dropped this afternoon.

One of rock’s best frontmen, IMO.

He would’ve been 56 today.

Such a talent. Such a loss.

Did they ever say why he and later Chester killed themselves?

Cornell battled horrible depression. Most of his songs reflect it.
I guess he couldn't take the pain any longer.

I was never a Soundgarden fan but Cornell had some pipes and knew how to use them.

That repetitive drum roll is annoying as crap.
Vocals are spot on.

While I can't confirm this, I have seen it said that Cornell and Bennington were working on a documentary about child abuse/trafficking and they got deaded as a result of their findings.

There are references to suicide all throughout his lyrics with Soundgarden, Audioslave and his solo albums.

His voice was indeed a gift. Two of my favorite songs from Soundgarden are on their 1989 album Louder Than Love.

Temple of the dog has been my favorite album sense it came out in the early 90s, got laid many times to those tunes. Good times, and memories.

Man that hits hard.  The song sounds a bit odd with a drum track, but still.. amazing.

He's one of the few artists I miss hearing new work on a regular basis.

Lost my virginity to this album. It happened to the song "All Night Thing." I may have made it...maybe...30 seconds.

Wow.

Just... wow.

Absolutely amazing cover (Axl's ego will never allow him to follow Trent Reznors lead and "give" that song to the guy who did it better).  Really, REALLY well done video too.  Haunting, even.

Dude was an incredible talent.  As is, unfortunately, far too often the case - such talent had some serious demons.

RIP.  

Maybe a morbid curiosity, but it's actually really cool to have such awesome music released posthumously.

Losing him and Chester Bennington back to back is honestly the only time celebrity deaths have really upset me.

Both of those guys were huge parts of and influences on the music I listened to growing up.

When Cornell comes up, I like to post this.

His last gig was in May 2017 at the Fox Theater in Detroit. He returned to his hotel room at the MGM Grand, and hung himself. His wife believes it was the Ativan anti-depressant giving him suicidal thoughts. He had 7 different drugs in his system at the time.

A mere 4 days later, Nora Jones came to play at the Fox Theater. She played this tribute, and it's pretty damn good. Not much time to practice.

Norah Jones – Black Hole Sun (Detroit Fox Theatre 5.23.17)

Love CC.

Not a huge fan of how this was mixed, a little too slick with the drum track and the synth. Would’ve loved to hear this just with him and his guitar

He did a good job but still nowhere near as good as the original. He left us far too soon either way.
