Iconic Voice Gone

Singer Chris Cornell, the lead vocalist for the bands Soundgarden and Audioslave, died Wednesday night in Detroit, his representative said. He was 52.

Brian Bumbery told the Associated Press in a statement that Cornell’s death was “sudden and unexpected” and said his wife and family was shocked.

The statement added that the family would be working closely with the medical examiner to determine the cause and asked for privacy.

Cornell was one of the leading voices of the 1990s grunge movement with Soundgarden. The band emerged as one of the biggest bands out of Seattle’s emerging music scene, joining the likes of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains.

Formed in 1984 by Cornell, guitarist Kim Thayil and bassist Hiro Yamamoto, Soundgarden's third studio album, "Badmotorfinger," in 1991 spawned enormously popular singles "Jesus Christ Pose," ''Rusty Cage" and "Outshined" that received regular play on alternative rock radio stations.

Cornell also collaborated with some members of Pearl Jam to form the band Temple of the Dog, which produced a self-title album in 1991 in tribute to friend Andrew Wood, the former frontman for Mother Love Bone.

Three years later, Soundgarden broke through on mainstream radio with the album "Superunknown," which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Record in 1995. It included hit singles "Spoonman," ''Fell on Black Days," ''Black Hole Sun," ''My Wave" and "The Day I Tried to Live."

Soundgarden disbanded in 1997 due to tensions in the band, and Cornell pursued a solo career. In 2001, he joined Audioslave, a supergroup that included former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Brad Wilk and Tim Commerford. The band released three albums in six years and also performed at a concert billed as Cuba's first outdoor rock concert by an American band, though some Cuban artists have disputed that claim.

Audioslave disbanded in 2007, but Cornell and Soundgarden reunited in 2012 and released the band's sixth studio album, "King Animal" in 2012.

In addition to his music, Cornell also became involved in philanthropy and started the Chris and Vicky Cornell Foundation to support children facing challenges, including homelessness, poverty, abuse and neglect.

I have heard of the band, but it wasn't on any must have playlist.

You're on crack.

He was by far the best "voice talent" in the alternative genre. His range was sick.

MTV, rolling stone and most other publications list him as a top 20 all time lead singer/voice. I would say that's pretty iconic.

See. Therein lies the issue. His disciples call him iconic. But the rest of us just "enjoyed" the music.

Being iconic is bit more than that. In twenty years, if we are still talking about him, then iconic.

But a good voice in the music industry has died. And really young also. That does create an air of sadness.

Wrong.

You keep on listening to Hank Williams Jr.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hank Jr. is 67 years old. His daddy was iconic. And he probably is also. If he is on the radio, more folks can say his name than most. So maybe he is iconic also.

If I played Sound Garden or Audioslave, how many folks would name the singer? Or the band? Not saying its not good music. We just tend to over accentuate the traits of dead people these days.

Certainly iconic for anyone born after 1975.

Yep.

Fucking hell.  Glad I skipped the theatre a couple weeks ago.

Yep.

fudgeing hell.  Glad I skipped the theatre a couple weeks ago.

I started listening to them when I was a senior in high school in 1990 or 1991 when a buddy introduced me to Louder Than Love.  Couple months later, after Nirvana released Nevermind, I think they released Badmotorfinger, which really put them on the map.  From that moment on, they really became a staple for me.  I can't think of a road trip while at Auburn that I didn't have at least one Soundgarden CD with me.  Since I got my first iPod, I've never not had at least one of their albums in my pocket.

Audioslave I never really got into, though.

It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Music people would. That actually know about these things. And how wide his range was. He's on every single friggin list that pertains to all time vocalists. No one said he was a household pop name.

Are you seriously judging music talent by who the dumb assed American idol masses are familiar with? They are the same ones that would pick Fla Ga Line over Elvis or Michael Jackson.

At least we still have Fred Durst and Chad Kroger.

The only iconic name mentioned above was Cobain. And CCTAU, of course.

You guys have already established that you listen to an eclectic collection of music.
But the rest of the world is NOT like you in that respect.

Many may have herd of Soundgarden, but they do not immediately think of the name of the front man.

I guess it takes a bit more for me to claim a guy is iconic. Maybe everyone born after 1975 just swoons a bit easier.

Sorry for YOUR loss.
