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