Chris Cornell -- formerly of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave -- has a new solo record coming out on June 5th. It's called "Carry On".
The vocal chops on this guy are quite extrodinary. In relation to the Stones, he used to like to play/sing "Stray Cat Blues" a lot with Soundgarden.
I'm not sure if a lot of you have heard his solo music, but it ranges from some rock n' roll to more mellow, soulful stuff. His first solo record is called "Euphoria Morning," and I think it's great.
Anybody else like him?

big fan.
thought soundgarden got better with each album, and i absolutely love down on the upside...
i liked the solo album alot, too - big l.a. connection 'cos he did it with the cats from the eleven...
interested to hear his latest effort, and i am sorry i missed the recent local gigs...
curiously, while i dug ratm big-time, too, i never got into audioslave, but to be fair, i was disappointed by the first album, and never gave the others a try...

Crack a smile and cut your mouth
And drown in alcohol......
Hell yeah, big fan, I get a hold of everything he's on eventually. Wish Soundgarden had kept on plowing - Fopp Fopp!

The first single ("No Such Thing") he released from "Carry On" is more of a straight-forward rock song.
Here's the video for it. Kind of whacky!

I love Soundgarden and find Audioslave quite lame (I m also fan of RATM)
Cornell got a hell of a voice that makes Vedder and co (the overrated singer of overrated Kings of Leon for example)sound like little boys.

Audioslave didn't work out too well - kind of like Velvet Revolver, you hope for good things, but intra-group collaborations like that seldom work out.
Still if you're a fan of Cornell's banshee sun/water based singing, its good to have around.

LOVE Soundgarden though I didn't care for Down On The Upside. If anyone cares, I upped the last Lolla show from 8/4/96 to Dime last week.
Didn't care for Audioslave much and don't think I ever heard much solo stuff. Love the Temple Of The Dog CD, got to see one of only 2 or 3 appearances at the RIP Magazine 5th Anniversary show in 1991.
LOVE Ultramega OK, gotta find that CD as the cassette is probably just about worn out.

I still reckon i was one of the 1st dozen or so people in this country to own a Soundgarden record. I loved them. His voice is amazing.
I think Audioslave were pretty good too.

Did I ever tell you Soundgarden was the first band i saw live in SF when I moved here in 1988... $5.00 show w/ Tad and Mudhoney sharing the bill, if i recall correctly... Then again I'm old and burnt out, so maybe Mudhoney was a week later, who fucking knows... Soundgarden was the shit. I dug out an old SG tee shirt. Says Total Fucking Godhead on the back and has Godzilla fucking killing Toikyo on the front!
I used to be so fucking cool... What happened to me!

Set: Magnolia Caboose..., No One Has, Come to Mind, Touch Me I'm Sick, If I Think, Mudride, Here Comes Sickness, You Got it, Chain that Door, This Gift, In 'N' Out of Grace, Hate the Police (set possibly out of order)

ULTRAMEGA OK!!!
My favorite Soundgarden track is "Slaves and Bulldozers".
"Superunknown" (the album and the song) is fucking awesome.
"Louder Than Love" kicks your ass.
A lot of people don't particularly like Audioslave, but I really enjoyed them. It was a nice run. Now they can all go back to doing other things.
Yes!!!

The man can cook too. Literally. Wasn't he a chef before his music career took off?

Previously uncirculated Audioslave show/soundcheck now on Dime:
Hollywood Boulevard in front of where the Kimmel show is filmed was blocked off. Still had to go through the security gauntlet to get in. People were herded into pens separated by barricades. 2 songs were broadcast followed by several more songs for the people in attendance. During "Killing In The Name" some of the barricades came down. Volume wasn't quite at the appropriate levels for a this type of performance and if reflects in the tape though I did my best. Rest assured the neigbors weren't disturbed.
01. -intro-
02. Your Time Has Come
03. -intro #2-
04. Be Yourself
----end of broadcast portion----
05. Set It Off
06. Your Time Has Come
07. Like A Stone
08. Spoonman
09. Doesn't Remind Me
10. Show Me How To Live
11. Killing In The Name
12. Cochise
soundcheck:
(people weren't allowed to stand and watch so I just walked back and forth along the sidewalk, sound is a bit rougher than the actual show but still very listenable).
01. -tuning/ambience-
02. Be Yourself
03. Be Yourself
04. Your Time Has Come
05. -intro-
06. Your Time Has Come
07. Your Time Has Come (partial)
08. -intro-
09. Be Yourself

Damn straight, Corgi.
"Carry On" will be released tomorrow! I think it may have been released earlier in Europe, though.
Went through all of the flyers in the Sunday paper and found out a few things.
*Target has it for $11.98, and it comes with two additional downloads (doesn't state what they are).
*Best Buy has it for $9.99, and it comes witn an exclusive download of an interview.
*Circuit City has it for $9.99, and a limited edition poster will be given out.
