Looks like we're in Savage Garden territory now.

This news sucks. I pretty much learned to sing by wailing along to badmotorfinger.

He was my hero - literally wrote the soundtrack to my life.

Sad news. Thank you Cornell/Soundgarden for initiating me into local music. In '88 you were the first band I'd ever seen live. And I wasn't there to see you, I was there to see goth-mope-pop band the Mission UK. Your set was so eye opening; you killed it, and you were relatively unknown, and you were from my home town! The next week I started going to all ages shows every weekend, to see everything and anything, in a way you changed my life for the better. Thank you and RIP.

So shocked and sad about this news. I'm going to have to crank up some Soundgarden when I get out of work.

Vocals thin and kinda whiny, too melodramatic. 90s alt-rock some of the worst music in human history.

there are specific bands that if you grew in certain areas...Texas for instance...car rides that lead to new avenues in your life with the soundtrack of blackhole sun or went to skateparks late at night and ripped to soundgarden, alice n chains, pantera, or fuckin pearl jam.....the nostalgia of those 90's rock bands and others in a time when radio was great, kiss fm /92.5 the edge... is a mental time capsule ....also didnt mind when some of those stations or at least one switched to 90's dance pump up the jams tunes...so no one really ever dies, especially when a huge majority has you in their hearts for you lifted spirits and invoked inspiration.
...im not into any of those bands, grew up on the golden oldies... but the songs cornell played/sang and myself being in a certain place in certain times with a soundtrack is beyond words.
FTW...suicide huh?

Total bummer. Most dudes are lucky to sing like that for 3 albums and he sang like that for over 3 decades.
