For everyone under 25 reading this, there's something you gotta understand about how powerful this debut was at that time (2002). Just barely a year removed from the events of 9/11, at a time when New Yorkers (and the country) were still very much looking up in fear, to look up that night at the beautiful artistry and raw power of a new powerhouse rock band was uplifting beyond explanation.



- Were any getbiggers there that night? 1MR?
- Does everyone (except funk51) agree?

Great voice and a great front man.  Only saw him live once with Soundgarden, it was a great show. A pal of mine is a big fan and had seen him live as in his various projects over the years, also flew from the UK to LA for the tribute concert they put on after his death. He'd also watched him from side of stage and interviewed him a number of times in his previous life as a music journalist and said he always came across as a great guy.

Best voice of the grunge era IMO. Always liked STP and Alice in Chains but Pearl Jam sucked to my ears. Strangely enough I like Eddie Vedder's solo stuff and Temple of the Dog

I was not there, but what I can tell you is that I have seen Chris Cornell perform in person and he was incredibly talented. Don't know about him looking better than anyone else in Rock, but he had a powerful voice.

I saw him perform live back in 1991 in Los Angeles at an event they used to call the Foundations Forum and back then he was in what I would call a "super band" called Temple of the Dog. You had numerous artists from some of the top bands (Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) in Seattle come together to form this group (they only put out 1 album). The song that really floored me by way of Cornell's vocal range is called Hunger Strike. From that point on, I knew the guy was a beast of a vocalist.

Not to gay it up, but if I had to pick a guy that was likely one of the better looking guys in Rock (who could probably land tons of pussy and/or cock - pick your poison), I'd lean on ^{cue Grape Ape} Michael Hutchence, given that he had a certain mature look that women of all ages like.

My favorite vocalist was Scott Weiland (prior to him stopping his Heroin use). After he stopped using Heroin, his voice changed drastically. In his prime (below performing acoustic Plush) he had a powerful voice.

"1"

Scott Weiland hands down was the best frontman of the 90’s.

Never got Black Oak Arkansas.

What am I missing here?

Sounds like a bunch of hillbillies and rednecks to me.

Nothing to get. They sucked.

Now, this  is an underrated band:

Love that song.

Is that really Grace Slick? I realize the video is almost 10 years old but fuck she's holding herself together pretty well.

Also thanks for UFO. Never heard of them. Thats a really good tune. Adding it to my Playlist.

   another one.

So talented that he took the coward's way out and offed himself.

Weak ass little bitch.

Indeed...I should give him a litile credit for sticking with the program

Not this guy?

Pretty sure he blew his voice out that night and had a huge show in the next day or two. Father time undefeated. Should not have been trying to sing prime Soundgarden night after night at 50+ living hard.

[SOMEPARTS]

My favorite Queensryche is their 1st 4-song demo. Amazing, raw, heavy...

Goofy 80's video, but what a song...

Chris DeGarmo left and they became hammered dogshit as far as new material goes. The guy was a musical genius.

^Pearl Jam ‘92 live since you can’t see the thumbnail

For my fellow 90’s grunge brothers. I think I remember seeing this on TV as a kid. Intense performance

Ruby Starr was hotter than Dutch love.
