As might be expected, the first playlist on Spotify is Chris Cornell, some cracking tunes on there, covering all his work.

I said to one of my work mates, today "if Mr G Reaper comes for Eddie Vedder and Mr Grohl, then I give up!

So it turns out he hanged himself. That is so sad

So it turns out he hanged himself. That is so sad 

It's really easy to look at someone and think "why would that person be so down, they are so successful, so many people like them, etc"

Depression isn't fair, it doesn't add up facts and weigh success against failures (yes, I'm making huge assumptions here).

Very sad

[Quisling]

What a loss and what a talent.  One of the few artists who could deliver a hard rock "Hwuuur!" with real conviction.  (see also Zack de la Rocha, he does that well too).

"When the forest burns along the road
Like God's eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore"

You know you're good when Johnny Cash covers your songs.

Going through his extensive back catalogue, some of his lyrics were very dark. And what's with all the snakes?!

Something I noticed while on a CC youtube binge: Tim Commerford wearing a cycling cap in concert
