Throw in Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots and I'm with you.
I left them out because they aren't Seattle based but they are also one of my favorite bands of the 90's for sure and Weiland was also a fantastic talent. I even listened to his Christmas album lol.
Black Hole Sun. One of my absolute favourite rock songs of the 90's...
R.I.P. Chris...

Lemmy for me ... that one really hurt. Cornell comes close to that, although I've never been too enarmored with Soundgarden. But Audioslave was simply outstanding.
Losing Lemmy sucked, but it didn't hurt as much. He lived a long life at full throttle, did it all and really had nothing else left to accomplish. Cornell though still seemed to have so much ahead of him, same with Dimebag
Wow, this played out joke is even more stupid and annoying when it's such a shocking, young death of a such a huge rockstar.
Anyways, surprised there's been no talk on here of Soundgarden's last song last night. It was a pretty strung out, tired, almost distraught cover of Led Zeppelins' "In my time of dying".
Quote:
In my time of dying, want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus, gonna make up my dyin' bed.
Meet me, Jesus, meet me. Meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord. Please meet me with another pair
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus, gonna make up.. somebody, somebody...
Jesus gonna make up... Jesus gonna make you my dyin' bed
Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven... Won't you let me in
I never did no harm. I never did no wrong
Quote:
I see the smiling faces
I know I must have left some traces
And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the field
And I hear them shouting under my feet
And I know it's got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I've done
You can deliver me, Lord
I only wanted to have some fun

Is it unprecedented for them to have played that Zeppelin song?

This actually makes it much worse for me. I can accept that his body gave out on him, but this makes it worse.
Man I have heard him in interviews in recent years and he sounded like a guy that had his life together and his alcoholism was a thing of the past. Damn shame to see this happen to someone with so much talent and reasons to live.

Agreed, pretty stunned to hear its a suicide. You would think in his 50's he'd have put a lot of demons behind him. I guess you truly never know what's going on in someone's head. So sad.
