Try "Blow Up The Outside World" instead.

I've been listening to Soundgarden all day, but I switched it up for a moment to listen to "When I'm Down" and for some reason that really hit me like no other.

I guess maybe because it sounds like he's having so much fun, and performing for the love of it, without any ironic detachment. Just belting the hell out of a song.

"Thank You" destroys me today. To have SO MUCH LOVE for someone else, but none for yourself -- goddammit. And it makes me really really sad for his family.

Soundgarden is basically what got me through high school, and I was always under the impression that Ben was the one with bigger depression problems what with Head Down and all... but drat.

Thinking back to high school at the moment, my friend got a PlayStation (original one) a new stereo and Down on the Upside. I remember all of us in his room playing ESPN Extreme Games while listening to Blow up the Outside World. Good times for us.
Such sad news today.

I actually feel bad for Cornell that Weiland keeps getting brought up in all the obits. Why not just add anything else that is "90's" and dead? Shannon Hoon! That guy from Sublime! My uncle who died in 1995! The Yo Queiro Taco Bell dog!

i've been listening to this acoustic bootleg since yesterday and it's so good, for those reasons. Learned his rendition of billie jean and original fire, they feel sad to play. :( RIP

WHEN THE RICH GET RICHER I GET HORNIER :a2m::a2m::a2m::a2m:

Although I liked STP more than Soundgarden, the news of Chris Cornell's death hits me harder than Scott Weiland's did. Maybe it's because we all expected it from Scott Weiland. Maybe because of the five major bands associated with the grunge movement (Nirvana, STP, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam) which was such an essential part of my life in the early 90s, Cornell's death means that only one lead singer of those groups is still among us, with suicide and substance abuse taking the others. Sobering to see your musical idols die one by one. Playing Badmotorfinger or Superunknown, I'm transported back to the early 90s, driving to my girlfriend's house on a dark fall night. RIP Chris.

St. Louis was the city after Columbus. Radio station The Point (105.7) has an annual Pointfest, and this year it was split into two shows because gently caress the fans. Soundgarden was to host the 2nd show, which was going to be today. Instead, it's just dark and stormy.

That makes more sense. St. Louis is a poo poo hole.

I tour with a small theater group and we just did those same cities a couple weeks ago, our venue in Detroit was next door to the Fox where that last Soundgarden show was. I hate it when people die on tours, last time I was on a tour in Scandinavia I became obsessed with Cliff Burton

St Louis has a lot of problems but also some good stuff going on and some very cool architecture. City Museum is great

NOTES
-----------
"The show was pretty much entirely about Chris without directly mentioning him. It was clear Eddie couldn't bring himself to talk about it head on. He spoke a little how the healing process can start with music and made numerous references to how sad he was and how much he and his friends were struggling.

Frankly it is the bravest performance I have ever seen. At times it seemed like he was a word or two away from breaking into tears. He mumbled more than usual, he violently stamped into the floor on Immortality and others and after The End I thought he was ready to just walk off and not play anymore.

There were funny moments and he picked up in the second half. You could hear the crowd emotionally gasp when Light Years started.


On the outro to Sometimes he cried out "Where were you, dear God?" It was heart breaking."

and also
--------------
Fan screams
"I LOVE YOU"
Ed says
“Thank you.
I need it - we all need it.
I'm thinking of a lot of people tonight. And some in particular and their families.
And I just know that
Healing takes time
If it ever happens
It takes time
And
That means you have to start somewhere
So let it be music
Let it be love and togetherness
And let it be Amsterdam”

i know it's cliche to say that the most recent celebrity death is the first one to ever really effect you but... this one has for me. soundgarden was my favorite band from ages 12-16. like jerry cantrell said, chris seemed like the last person of any in the seattle scene that would succumb to an early demise. he seemed like such a cool, gracious and down-to-the-earth (for a rock star) guy who loved his children, which adds to the shock that his family and friends mentioned experiencing. i've watched the detroit show, as well as a few others preceding the last one just to see if anything was off. to go from performing on stage to arriving at your hotel room in 30 minutes, then having your bodyguard fix your computer, have a conversation with your wife, fasten a carabiner into the top of the door well enough so that it won't move, to being found by said bodyguard in ~35 minutes is an almost unbelievable timeline.

i lived in italy in 2014 and was talked into going to london to see soundgarden (and sabbath!) perform superunknown in its entirety in hyde park. even though my tastes have shifted significantly since high school, i'm glad to have seen my favorite album as a teenager performed live, as i was not able to see them before the break-up.

edit: that fugazi song that ed ved covered, "i'm so tired", is about suicide and also what chris said to his wife before hanging up. god drat. :3:

quote:

The report reveals that the SOUNDGARDEN frontman had Naloxone (Narcan), Butalbital (a sedative), Lorazepam (Ativan), Pseudoephedrine (a decongestant) and barbiturates in his system when he was found dead after the band's performance in Detroit. He was 52.

Narcan? Why in the hell? From my armchair research, it looks like Narcan doesn't hang out in your system for more than an hour or so. Did he OD and have to be revived during the show or something?

Maybe he just took whatever he could score after the show. Maybe he thought it would get him high if he took enough+other pills. I think subutex will get you kinda high if you take it and you don't have a tolerance to opiates. Not sure about narcan.
