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.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1L0ywBATYA Ferdinand Bardamu fucked around with this message at 07:22 on May 31, 2017 |
