Chris Cornell Talks About Andrew Wood

Chris has always seemed to be the wisest and most put together guy of all the bands. He's got the strength and also the take no shit attitude. Never really been whiny or pretentious. Seems like the kind of guy who's not too preachy. I love when he says the whole personal eulogy is just bullshit. Always admired his straightforward character.

[@E3E--]

That's a great line too, about an artist's works being a personal eulogy, because a lot of people are trying to look back on Chris' songwriting now as being revealing to his death, like it was foreshadowing, even though here himself he says that kind of thing is bullshit.

[@entertain7us148]

I've always said he was the most down-to-earth guy to come out of the Seattle scene, especially considering how incredibly talented he was.

He was so down to Earth, always humble. When I was in high school in the 90s, I was a waitress at this little diner in Edmonds, wa. just a little north of Seattle, and Chris' Father was a regular of mine, he came in every Sunday morning for pancakes and coffee. Chris and his brother would come in with him whenever in town and seriously you could not get more down to earth and genuinely kind than these guys. His Dad was so proud of Chris in everything he did. He would bring in clippings of any reviews or articles in the local newspapers or magazines and show all us girls that worked there what his son was up to. Chris would always give me a little wink and I would blush so bad.

[@Donna777]

That picture at the beginning makes me so sad. You can see the admiration for Chris in that expression on Andy's face -the way a little brother would look up to a big brother.

I had the privilege of seeing Temple of the Dog in Seattle last weekend. Chris shared several anectdotes about Andy throughout the show. I was in tears for most of it-my boys were raised on this music and there are so many memories attached to the Mother Love Bone and Temple of the Dog albums. Thank you, Chris Cornell, for sharing these special memories.

When first moved to Seattle my first GF had this huge crush on Cornell, which was obviously common, and at that point i was totally into thrash but she dragged me to a show at the Central tavern and holy shit they blew my mind, the band was super tight and heavy and Cornell had pipes of steel, super powerful. It was great to see them early on i a bar.

Denise Valentine greatest commentary I've seen so far, about Chris dying, ' he's with Andy'.

[@katevielle4263]

Denise Valentine That's how I like seeing it too. Andy with his top-hat & glitter in his hair offering Chris a drink. I truly believe Chris never got over Andy's death. In PJ20, he was practically crying over talking about it. Andy was a light in his life, and it went away too soon. In Chris' words, the death of innocence in the Seattle scene wasn't Kurt's death it started with Andy's.

[@irmafoxcrow7901]

He also could not forgive himself for not comforting Layne Staley,when Layne was sobbing,crying on his knees,with all of Andy's friend in 1 room.He wanted to hug him,comfort him,but he stayed rooted to his seat.Chris talked about it several times,full of regret and sadness,he never forget it.A kind and gentle man

[@jeffbogue3718]

Chris Cornell is an amazing singer but I think he is more amazing of a person, he is so humble and insightful , I was truly fortunate to have saw him at the State Theater in Detroit on his Euphoria morning tour , I saw him three times with Audioslave , and then saw him again at the State Theater which is now called The Fillmore with Soundgarden in 2015 what a great show , all the shows were great but the Euphoria morning to her still blows my mind , if I had to describe Chris and one where it would definitely be brilliant

[@violetcherryinbloom8238]

Kurt Cobain got me into Seattle-era grunge, buy Chris Cornell kept me there. Out of all those kingpins, he always seemed the most thoughtful and grounded. It always seemed to me like it was the music above everything else that drove him.

[@patrickc.mcevoy2065]

A lot of people said the exact same thing of Layne Staley, the scresming trees drummer once said that "Layne Staley was the only singer I ever worked with [mad season] that the sound of his voice boomed from his torso, you could hear Laynes singing percussively, booming from his chest as well as his mouth n throat "

I can never get over how humble, and almost like insecure Chris was... particularly at that point in his career. He was this uber-talented singer/musician, good looking frontman rockstar, and he always had that insecure voice in the back of his head. And speaking about Andy it's really evident, because of how uninhibited Andy was. I think Chris, like a lot of the Seattle scene at the time, really admired Andy for that and aspired to have that part of Andy wear off on them.

Guy on the right of the thumbnail picture is Ian Astbury of the Cult, it was taken at a Cult show where Mother Love Bone were the support. The Cult had made it big at that point and Ian tried to use their pull to promote the bands on the Seattle scene in the late 80s and requested Soundgarden play the precursor to Lollapalooza, 'the Gathering of the Tribes' which Ian put together with his own money.
