If he did that I'm going to be so pissed. And stop making fun of anything because for some reason whenever I make fun of something it happens to me even if indirectly.
As great As they were, and as much as I loved Soundgarden, I really got into him and Morello. Man, Audioslave was some awesome stuff.....
You can't look at it that way. People who are really gifted at entertaining tend to have issues with depression. Robin Williams is a really good example of this. For whatever reason they can be so good at conveying their emotions in one way, but they have demons that they battle with until they just can't do it anymore. Painters, singers, actors, writers.... it seems to be very common that they are tortured souls. Some of them find a way to deal with it, others do not. I found it extremely sad that someone like Robin Williams, who by all accounts was a truly amazing person, just could not get control of his depression. And he tried. The guy went to rehab a number of times. They just finally can't take it anymore.
My understanding about Robin was that for the last year of his life he suffered nervous disorders...MS...started having memory loss from probable alzheimers and prostate pain....I think Robin had a handle on depression, but when the body and mind killed his ability to live the life he loved, he checked out. Cornell was a junkie...apparently had been sober awhile but the dude did sing about suicide a lot.
Maybe some of their counselors or friends could have got them to work construction for a week or two so they knew how good they had it. I understand mental illness is a bitch, I watched most episodes of Hoarders. We're all crazy, most of us are just too busy working to have time to complain. No, I'm not using Hoarders as a prime example of mental illness, just that a seemingly normal person could be so nutso.
Plenty of people who work real jobs commit suicide. Sometimes they're in so much pain that they just want it to stop. Not saying it's the right move, but being rich and famous doesn't make you any less susceptible to depression. Having money doesn't automatically make people happy.
Its simply a perfect Albulm from start to finish. Its in my top ten all time albulms. Not even BadMotorFinger made my top ten.
Ativan is the drug that killed my favorite singer. Why the fuck any drug that can cause suicide is allowed for a non fatal ilness I'll never know.
I somehow never knew many Temple tracks outside of Say Hello To Heaven and Hunger Strike. As soon as he died I listened to the entire album and then slapped myself for not having heard the other tracks before. All so good, especially Wooden Jesus. Damn. Rip Chris
I remember not liking it because Eddie Vedder didn't sing enough. I was dumb but I changed on that 10-15 years ago.
Wow. Been jammin out on a comcrap music channel. They just played some Audioslave. What a huge loss.... Then Eddie Vedder and some Pearl Jam. Great tunes back then. Nirvana, Alice In Chains.... Tom Morello is an amazing guitarist. Him and Bruce are AWESOME together. Sorry guys, just some random thoughts tossed out here.... It's just sad to have someone like Chris, be so damn good at what he did, and then..... Anyways....
