Maybe we'll get an announcement of axls new haircut on wednesday! ?

I dont think he got one. I think it's just tucked back and you cant see it.

Of course someone will probably say he just doesn't have his wig on.

I wasn't actually a really big fan of his work. I would listen to everything he releases once or twice mainly. Listen to some songs, maybe even full album here and there but that was it. I did go to Zagreb to see him on a solo tour recently and I'm really glad I did. 

But for some reason I'm really sad for this, I was much, much bigger fan of Bowie and Lemmy and their deaths never really got to me like this one. I can't really explain it at all. I never cried cause some celebrity died until yesterday. I don't know why. Maybe cause of his persona, really laid back and quiet but emotional on stage. I have no idea

I actually remember when I first time watched him perform. I caught this on satellite tv when I was 13 and was like, this guy sounds and looks like that Black Hole Sun dude and was really impressed by him and decided to search for his albums. 

 

Bowie and Lemmy lived pretty full lives. Cornell was still young. Weiland was young, but with him you knew it was coming because of his addictions.

Cornell was someone who worked to turn his life around and did. I'm pretty sure he had been sober for over a decade. Plus he was still pretty successful. I think the thing that makes this so sad is that he was still relatively young and there was still the potential for more success.

A day and a half later. I still can't believe it.

Celebrity deaths usually don't bother me but this is the first celebrity that I was a big fan of who passed away.

I was just thinking about how no one from Soundgarden has said anything yet, and neither has Grohl or Axl (who was a big Cornell fan if I recall correctly). Even the official Soundgarden page hasn't made a statement yet. So sad.

The guys in soundgarden have got to be in shock. Their singer who they had played with an hour earlier hung himself and no one will ever know why. That's got to have a huge impact on them. Imagine a coworker your friends with acting normal, talking to you, doing their thing, and then an hour after work they kill themselves.

Plus they'll probably get a lot of questions about what's next. They were in the middle of recording a new album. I'm guessing they need to take a few days to take everything in and then sit down together with Cornell's family and figure out how/If they move forward  and how they'll honor their friend.

It can't be understood.  Perhaps he did not either.  What if a point is reached where conscious decision making departs?

It may be bad word choice or reporting, but the 'found with a band around his neck' seems to contradict the confirmed cause of death.

 

I love Chris Cornell.

R.I.P

Just speculation, but maybe whatever he hung himself with or from broke, unfortunately by the time that happened the damage was done.

Its so surreal that he went out last night and did a show, and even talked about the next show, but committed suicide just a few hours later. I guess it's not too surprising since he's battled depression but still like I've mentioned earlier he seems to have really turned his life around the past decade or so. I've read a few people compare his sudden death to Scott Weiland, but with Weiland everyone knew it would happen eventually. I don't think anyone expected to lose Cornell any time soon.

Soundgarden had atleast 6 songs recorded for a new album. They were in the middle of a tour. Things seemed to be going good.

Now you have Eddie Vedder as the last man standing in grunge.

My friend was at that show last night while I was at another show down the street.

He was SO fucking excited to finally see Soundgarden. He's not even awake yet today. What an awful, awful thing for him to wake up to  

Atleast he got to see them. It sucks for people that had tickets and were exited to see them and now will never get the chance.

He also did the Temple Of The Dog 25th anniversary tour last year! 

I Forgot about that.

It always amazed me how everything he did seemed to be successful. Temple of the Dog had a hit, soundgarden obviously had multiple hits, Audioslave had some big hits at a time when rock wasn't really that popular, he did Heavy is The Head with Zack Brown Band which still gets a ton of airplay on rock radio, and then his solo song "Nearly forgot my broken heart" was pretty popular and still gets airplay from time to time.

I don't know many singers who had 3 hit bands plus a pretty strong solo career. He was always underrated IMO. The man could truly write and sing.

Another video from Detroit. Is it only me seeing him a little bit off here?

 

 

So sad to think that a couple hours after that video he died.

Sometimes the richest people who seem to have the perfect lives are the ones who are the lonliest. A beautiful wife and millions on your bank doesnt make you a happy person.

But this is just speculation here.

Not really surprised if it was suicide. He's battled depression and was young and as far as we know healthy. Look at Kurt Cobain. He had all that and he killed himself. It happens all the time and the only person that ever knows the true motives is the one who commits suicide. Still, the guy had a hit solo song 2 years ago, he did a one off show with audioslave a few months back, and sound garden is back together and touring. He seemed to be having a comeback of sorts.

Wtf. He was one of my favorite vocalists. I loved audioslave. Sound garden was one of my favorite grunge bands too.

ik he used to have drinking problems but he seemed to have turned his life around and really improved his health. I was really hoping for an audioslave reunion.

He's more the AC/DC singer than the GnR singer now.

I'm guessing Axls not a fan of SCOM these days. He looks bored and doesn't even seem to try on most performances of it since 2001.

I really believe if you played 2017 axl to 1988 axl hed be like WTF is this shit

I really believe if you showed 1988 axl anything beyond maybe 2001 that's how he would react.

Bored. It's a great lineup, but they're predictable right now. Atleast with the 2009-2014 lineup there was talk of new music, the remix album, the chance of OMG or Going Down getting played. With this lineup there's no talk of anything. I'm sure we'll get new music eventually, but I don't see it happening as soon as it would've if we still had the previous lineup. I'm not a huge AC/DC fan, but I'm honestly more interested in seeing what Axl does with them right now. Atleast that appears to be leading to new music.

Would be interesting to hear the finished version. (More than 10 seconds of it) It'll probably sound very different since it has a different chorus. Could be good. Who knows.

It's got turned into a piano ballad

"Sooo what can I dooooooooo?"

"babe, with aaaas bitch such as youuuuuu"

(deep nasally voice) "oh you know that it'ssssss true"

"baby, all i have i ask if you but I'll be damnnned..."

"with a bitch"

"like"

"youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

I kinda forgot I started this thread.

so, 2 months later, here's a little update.

I still see her at the store almost every day and have little conversations with her but haven't got around to asking her out yet. My friend's friend knows her apparently, and she's supposedly about a year younger than me, single, and really nice.

Hoping to ask her out soon but the past month I've had shit luck with stuff so I'm hoping for some improvement first. Some days there's other people working with her, I'd rather wait until she's alone so I don't embarrass her in front of her coworkers.

I don't care what comes first, a GnR album or an AC/DC album, as long as we get a handful of original songs with Axl on vocals sometime soon I'll be happy.

One of my favorite records ever.

It does seem to be gaining some respect. I've actually heard Better get played on the radio in my car twice over the last month... which other than that hasn't happened since 2009 besides the time I got a bunch of people to vote for it to be played about a year or two ago.

We really don't need multiple members in both GN'R and AC/DC - with Angus being the sole original member (And considering if that happened he'd be replacing the only other AC/DC alumni currently in the band), it would mean more GN'R members are in AC/DC than AC/DC members. 

 

Chris Slade is doing just fine.

Let's put Tommy Stinson in Bass too. And maybe we can get Robin Finck on guitar too. And I think they need some keyboards.... Maybe Pitman.

Seriously... We don't need ACDC to become a reunion of NuGnR. Axl, MAYBE Tomny. But other than that, no.

He also did it once before the patience outro with nugnr if I'm correct

I think it was during KOHD in rio 2011, followed by him impersonating Elmer Fudd.

How do you lose that much of a lead?

Most singers don't attend every sound check or rehearsal. I won't pretend Axl is like most professional singers but cut him a little slack. Vocal chords are the hardest instrument to maintain. 

AC/DC he was forced to rehearse every day bc it was new material to him. Guns hasn't introduced anything new since Coma and before that it was The Seeker in 2012...rehearsal doesn't do much for him. 

Axl's vocal restraints lie in the fact that he won't change his style of singing on Guns material. He's stubborn and sticks to what he knows. At the end of the NA run Axl sounded about par for the course for what we come to expect but then 3 days later he's firing on all cylinders sounding rejuvenated on AC/DC material in Greensboro...Again it's the style of singing he's using. I wouldn't expect it to change anytime soon. 

Its not laziness, he's simply to stubborn to change 

This.

Axl has never been a great live singer. He's a great front man because he moves around and enjoys himself, but he's never been an overall great singer live.

But it's not because he can't sing, because he can. It's just hard to replicate the studio sound live. In a controlled environment with multiple takes and top of the line technology, probably recording one song and then taking a long break before another, it's much easier to get good power, rasp, and range. At a live show when you're running around, sweating, remembering lyrics, and performing for over two hours it's not as easy.

Sure, he could do SCOM, NR, etc in a lower voice which comes easier to him, but people in the general public are going to notice the lack of range more than the lack of rasp.
