I had the chance and it was only $20. in San Diego. Alas the bus there and back plus drinks and $20 was more than I had. I only had $20. That was in 1996. They weren't that big then. Imagine - Chris was playing and it would be one of the last concerts.

many people say how can a person like chris who was so loved do what he did..the problem is no matter how much other people love you, how much money, fame and cars you have, there is only one person we spend our whole lives with, YOU. if You dont love You, there is no fix. I speak from experience, and it saddens me to see chris and chester gone now, as I lost my father. A man so deeply admired by so many, The real sadness is that the person didn't find the love in themselves to stick around. We all want to cry and say he left us, but he also left himself.

So young... there was a time where I scoffed at depression and anxiety, where I judged those who talked about how "down" they were with flippant disregard... till I went through it myself. I can tell you from experience, it isn't really being low, it's the up and down, and when it comes in waves, overwhelming you, drowning you in negativity, fear, and when it seems like it takes all your effort just to take a breath, it is really really hard to cling to whatever remnants of positivity (if any) you have left. Mine was event based and thank goodness temporary, but it gave me at least a little insight into what it is like for those who have chronic depression and how difficult it is to live with it. Never talk down, never judge, until you've walked in their shoes. I used to do just that, never again. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

The signs of Chris' suicide were everywhere, even early on. He mentions on Black Hole Sun about hanging his head, drowning his fears till we all just disappear, plus the songs Blow Up The Outside, and Pretty Noose. I'm sure there are more references. I've been a fan for decades but never listened to his words (he's their main writer) in the context of how he died.

[@frankenbride]

Funfact, the song Pretty Noose is actually about a destructive relationship! However it's pretty damn ironic thats it's called Pretty Noose.

[@PianoGirl76]

I still can't believe this beautiful, talented soul is no longer here anymore! Feels like a close friend has died. Thank you for the amazing 25 years, Chris! Rest easy, friend.

PianoGirl también siento como que mi mejor amigo se fue, aún sigo con tristeza 😥

[@M3atcl3avR4]

Does it get any better than this? Yes, yes it does, the legend lives on in our hearts, and it makes all that much sweeter. Chris Cornell, one of the greatest voices in rock ever.

[@JA51711]

One of the best prog metal vocalist and band-never will be replicated. RIP Chris

[@drvitorhugoc]

SoundGarden is one of those bands that with RARELY exceptions ALL the members are top level musicians, just like the Beatles or PinkFloyd, where all the members were talented and multifaceted. The bassist (Ben Shepherd) is a monster, the drummer (Matt Cameron) is a killer, the guitarist (Kim Thayil) is breathtaking in the tuning and complexity of the riffs, and Cornell sings like a God of Olympus, as well as playing very well, it's a band that has everything in terms of music, composition, chords, sonority, it's like a classical music show where the Maestro is rock n roll.

[@jasonhall7491]

Every member in Soundgarden pushes the envelope on their individual instrument/voice. I really think Ben is one of the most underrated bass players in music. Chris has the best male voice in rock.

[@TheImmortalCheneys]

the fact that Chris took his life doesn't now make this song "ironic". It's really the exact opposite of ironic. He always addressed the forces of inner darkness in every song he made - it was that core creative/destructive being that created all that amazing art he has left us with. Pretty Noose isn't ironic of his death, it's an ultimate expression of those incredibly powerful forces, just like his death was.

You've touched my heart and soul more than just about any musician on the face of this earth. Today, for the first time in my 23 years on this planet, I cried and wept like a baby over a "celebrity" death.Although you've never known me, I have known and loved you dearly since childhood.RIP Chris

i have been here twice as long and would have said same 23 yrs ago and still in agreement with that now! i just dont think it possible for any other to have such an impact on me. thank you for putting that into words for me.

This was my favorite Cornell tune. It's gotten me through some really rough times, and sadly with his death, this is an unfortunately appropriate song. RIP Chris.

This album from the time I heard it is phenomenal. there is not a rock band today who come up with an album this good from start to finish. Its a total masterpiece

[@hayatosilva8778]

I used to feel so much sadness involved on Soundgarden's songs, they made me reflect a lot. One of the first bands alongside Alice in Chains and Pantera that presented to me, music that I actually enjoyed. I'll be forever grateful for them for that. R.I.P. Chris, you're truly missed.

[@nothx962]

I agree w poster above. Those 3 bands are 3 of my favorites too and its sad that one of the main forces in all 3 of those bands have lost their lives decades too soon.

[@erichansen9427]

I grew up listening to this music and it always brings me back to those years when there was so much to learn and my mind was hungry for anything different. Chris will be missed, always took it to another level.

[@devindder]

The Guitar work is by Kim Thayil, one of the nost gifted Guitarists of Grunge era. Add Matt the drummer, Ben the Bassist & Chris 'the howler' Cornell and u get the best band of 90s

"'Fell on Black Days' was like this ongoing fear I've had for years ... It's a feeling that everyone gets. You're happy with your life, everything's going well, things are exciting-when all of a sudden you realize you're unhappy in the extreme, to the point of being really, really scared. There's no particular event you can pin the feeling down to, it's just that you realize one day that everything in your life is fucked." If you've seen "The End of the Tour" you will find that these words are stunningly similar to things that David Foster Wallace (who also hanged himself) said. RIP, Chris
