hahninator Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Chris's ties to Linkin Park go back to when he opened for the band in Australia in 2007 and the band liked him so much that they invited him to be direct support on Projekt Revolution 2008. On the tour, Chester and Chris started a great friendship that lasted almost a decade. Chris joined Linkin Park for Crawling in the set, but the real gem was Chester lending his vocals to this.... RIP Chris, a true rock legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlassCastles Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Truly devastating. He was probably one of the best rock singers of all time, and his voice being silenced so young is a tragedy. Rest In Peace, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzo23 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) :( I am almost never speechless but that is such a shock! His voice ,,, his songs... he was such a great person! I saw Soundgarden as direct support of LP at Rock im Park 2012 and all the energy from the stage was his energy. The stage was his home and we were his guests Edited May 18, 2017 by marzo23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 https://twitter.com/chesterbe/status/865227703091208192 I dunno about the rest of you guys, but I would totally understand if Chester decides to cancel the Kimmel performance tonight. Losing Chris has to be like losing Scott for him, except even worse because Chris was actually one of his best friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I dunno about the rest of you guys, but I would totally understand if Chester decides to cancel the Kimmel performance tonight. Losing Chris has to be like losing Scott for him, except even worse because Chris was actually one of his best friends. I would also understand. Another thing that occurred to me is at the very least, OML (the song) will probably be extremely hard for him to perform for a while, since it's about exactly this type of situation.

gorast Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) I wrote more here and I don't have the energy to repeat it all, but I'm legitimately devastated. I love Soundgarden, I loved Audioslave, and I loved Chris's solo work. It's surreal to me that, not only is he gone, but he killed himself. I want to understand why. On the outside, and I know we see very little of celebrities' lives, but from what we could see, he really seemed like he'd managed to leave behind his demons and emerge a happier man. I suppose those things are always around the corner, though. I hope his family and friends can recover from this.

UndeadSoldier Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's insane that the vocalists from 4 out of the 5 bands that shaped the Grunge movement have now died. Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Scott Weiland, and now Chris Cornell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxHybridXeroxx Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 RIP Chris Cornell! Feel so bad for his family and friends... If you lose someone (to suicide no less) it hurts, but knowing that you could've helped has to be excruciating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkin_boss Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Its been some days and I can't completely accept it yet. It has been really rough as a fan of his music, I can't even possibly imagine how hard it has been for his friends and family, as no one saw this coming.
