isn't that Johnny5 guitarist for Rob Zombie now?
Yeah, brace yourself for all kinds of rambling pablum coming out of the media this week. That stuff has got to be especially annoying for his loved ones. My wife just read me one that's pretty cringeworthy.Also, for all the mentions of the final song choice, they closed with "Slaves and Bulldozers" as they frequently did. They played a portion of "In My Time of Dying" during the song, which was also fairly commonplace. Lot of writers looking for something poetic to say are inaccurately portraying it as some kind of harbinger, but it wasn't.
This could be inserted in most threads here.I honestly hate people.
Yeah. I watched a Hyde Park video a while back. I recall them closing with Slaves and Bulldozers and In My Time of Dying. I think that was from 2012.Also, for all the mentions of the final song choice, they closed with "Slaves and Bulldozers" as they frequently did.

Is Hetfield religious? I have no idea what he could mean if he is not.James Hetfield apparently closed last night's metallica show by saying "We forgive you Chris"
Be interesting to know what he meant.
had all five....and HATED V. Really hated it.Live - An incredible band in concert. They had a 5 album run that was fantastic (Mental Jewelry, Throwing Copper, Secret Sahmadhi, Distance To Here, V) Great melodies, vocals and lyrics....a really underrated band and they are actually back together officially. I hope they come down to Florida again. Such a great live show.
Some great great songs on it. But I can understand Live fans not liking it. It was getting a little weird on that record and marked a change in song writing.had all five....and HATED V. Really hated it.
Maybe for marching with the grunge music rather than going a more metal route?Is Hetfield religious? I have no idea what he could mean if he is not.
It was also after playing Unforgiven. So maybe he was just (stupidly) tying it to the song?James Hetfield apparently closed last night's metallica show by saying "We forgive you Chris"

I was a metal guy in the 80'sMaybe for marching with the grunge music rather than going a more metal route?
A lot of my metal friends from that period hated grunge with a passion. Some are just appreciating it now.
Good list. Also think STP is very underrated. I remember when they came out and alot of people just dismissed them as PJ copycats, which is totally wrong as they had their own very distinct sound.Is Hetfield religious? I have no idea what he could mean if he is not.
I am still stunned by the whole thing, and it makes a lot more sense that this could have been accidental and brought on by taking too many prescription drugs accidentally.
Just a huge loss to the rock music world.
Soundgarden/Temple of The Dog was easily my favorite sounds out of Seattle back in 1991-1994. I was a young 21 year old musician myself and loved how Soundgarden was a total throwback to the heavy riff-age assault of bands like Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
For me this was my order of preference back then:
1) Soundgarden/Temple Of The Dog (one album....but an all timer and one of top 10 of all time)
2) Stone Temple Pilots - So many great songs and albums....just so many. A great eclectic mix of old school influences, bombastic guitars and riffs and they too matured each album. - Was able to see them at their height on the Tiny Music tour back in 1997. Just a great band live too (when Scott was not strung out). I caught them on anight when they were flawless.
3) Alice In Chains - Metal, dark, and then with Jar Of Flies (my fav from them) and Sap they showed a different more melodic side. I loved them and saw them 3 times.
4) Pearl Jam - I love Ten.....it is by far their best album. It really captured the moment and the transition back to a more raw sound. This was their most produced and polished record oddly enough (and something they look back on with sour thoughts as they remixed it with Brenden O Brian to a more dry straight forward sound). But I thought the production on the album was brilliant and hardcore Pearl Jam fans will frown on my thoughts, but they never wrote a better collection of songs ever again. That first album was that good. Vs was also outstanding and I can still enjoy it a lot. I also like No Code and Yield. Everything else though.....really meh for me. Their live shows are fantastic. I have seen them a lot (5 times by my last count). They always bring it live....except for one performance that my wife and I actually walked out on. It was the Binaural tour (what a ***tty album that was) and they were just really going through the motions and taking 2 minutes between songs deciding what to play....just blech. The other 4 times were high energy shows with killer set lists.
5) Nirvana - Never got it, never will. I just don't enjoy Cobain and his songs. Not my cup of tea.
But what an era of music. A lot of great music in the 90's:
Candlebox - Check out their 3rd and 4th albums (Happy Pills and Into The Sun) those two records are monsters. They are well known for their debut album (a very solid kick ### rock record) but their 3rd and 4th records are just bursting with far more maturity and incredible songs. Highly under appreciated band.
Blind Melon (so good, especially Soup which was a brilliant record).
Jeff Buckely - Tragic, just tragic we lost him so fast. Grace was and still is one of the best albums ever.
The Black Crowes - They were giants for me. One of the best ever. Saw them live so many too.
Live - An incredible band in concert. They had a 5 album run that was fantastic (Mental Jewelry, Throwing Copper, Secret Sahmadhi, Distance To Here, V) Great melodies, vocals and lyrics....a really underrated band and they are actually back together officially. I hope they come down to Florida again. Such a great live show.
Agreed. The first three albums were great - "The Distance To Here" was kind of hit-and-miss but has some really good songs on it. I didn't like V at all, and pretty much stopped getting their studio stuff after that, but I will still go see them live whenever I get a chance. I've seen Ed Kowalczyk solo twice, both times electric with full band and it was damn near as good as seeing Live.had all five....and HATED V. Really hated it.
My favorite story: Courtney Love accused Candlebox of being from LA. She said they just came up to Seattle to get signed.Candlebox - Check out their 3rd and 4th albums (Happy Pills and Into The Sun) those two records are monsters.

Courtney Love is a ####ing ###hole.My favorite story: Courtney Love accused Candlebox of being from LA. She said they just came up to Seattle to get signed.
Those guys were actually probably the most Seattle band of anyone. They all went to school in Seattle.
Nirvana was from Aberdeen/DC, Screaming Trees from Ellenberg, Cornell was the only guy who grew up in Seattle from Soundgarden. Vedder was from San Diego via Chicago, I think. I think Cantrell was from Oklahoma.
There was also the whole Stoner Rock thing happening fronted by Kyuss. QOTSA came a bit later, but were also great.Is Hetfield religious? I have no idea what he could mean if he is not.

That is freaking great.
Listening now at work. Thanks for the heads up.Perhaps it has been mentioned, but Cornell's most recent solo album Higher Truth is incredible. If there is any doubt that this guy was in deep depression, just listen to this album. It is very powerful, emotional, and incredible.
I think that he was trying to say to Chris's spirit (or whatever) that he understands the darkness and depression inside him and the action he (possibly) took and that it is all ok, that he doesn't need to feel bad about anything for he who is. Something like that.It was also after playing Unforgiven. So maybe he was just (stupidly) tying it to the song?
The one "good thing" to come out of this is that I downloaded that album on Spotify (didn't listen to his solo records really). It's real good and not what I expected.Perhaps it has been mentioned, but Cornell's most recent solo album Higher Truth is incredible.

I enjoy his solo work over anything else he ever did.Dr. Octopus said:The one "good thing" to come out of this is that I downloaded that album on Spotify (didn't listen to his solo records really). It's real good and not what I expected.
I've not heard good things about Cornell's wife. The MIL seems a bit unhinged, too.Bobcat10 said::(

Bull Dozier said:For those interested (and haven't seen it), Chris' widow wrote an open letter to him:
To My Sweet Christopher,
You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through.
You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn't be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life. Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I'm sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night. I'm sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.
I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.
I love you more than anyone has ever loved anyone in the history of loving and more than anyone ever will.
Always and forever,
Your Vicky
