Re: Chris Cornell does song on New Slash record
Soundgarden being labeled as grunge was a huge mistake by their label, management, and media during the grunge craze. They were basically a straight up metal band channeling Sabbath and Zep that went into major experimentation on their last two records.
The band will never get the credit it truly deserves.
here fucking here
people talk of Nirvana and Janes as being the bands that defined the 90's (2 great bands, dont get me wrong) - for me it was soundgarden by a country mile
a hardcore heavy rock band with melodic psychedelic flourishes that worked on every level
peerless musicianship, almost the perfect band IMO
Slash's solo album just got a whole lot more essential

WHAT?? You've never heard Soundgarden? Lucky for you, I haven't deleted their discog that I uploaded for someone.
Once you dive into this, you wont be listening to GNR for months(maybe years). Soundgarden's last four albums blow CD completely out of the water, and the only GNR albums that are even worthy of standing up to Soundgarden are AFD and UYI I.
Dive into Superunknown and Down on the Upside first.
I'm in shock that Cornell is even doing this.
Chris Cornell is back
Cornell never left.....He's been kicking ass for over 20 years, and isn't gonna stop anytime soon.
I would agree. But I mean hes back to doing this sort of music. I loved Scream but many didn't and for those who preferred his rock side Chris is back.
What do you make of his new rock version of scream James?

Re: Chris Cornell does song on New Slash record
Chris Cornell is amazing. It seems as everybody here has a different sample, but you have to check out Birth Ritual from the Singles soundtract. That and pretty much the whole Badmotorfinger LP is as good as it gets for me. It amazing that his voice has held up (fairly well) after what he was doing on those records.

I don't see how that new version of Long Gone is the 'rock' version of it. The older version had more balls than the newer one. Cornell re-did the vox into something a lot more contemporary, as well as the upbeat tempo.
I like both however.

Totally forgot about Birth Ritual, and its one of my faves. I sent Olorin and Buzzsaw the discography and didn't include that track.
Love the song Seasons from that soundtrack.

Cant polish a turd. 
Apparently not.
