Me neither, brother. When a friend told me of his passing I started shaking like crazy. I'm just too fucking out of my mind. RIP.

Am sat here doing a course where I'm expected to speak, and I'm really struggling. Memories of two very specific, very important gigs are filling my head right now, might ask my editor to indulge me a bit this evening, if only just to clear my own thoughts.

I know that he and Mark were great friend. Obviously he produced Uncle Anesthesia. Pretty great and very distinct voice. RIP Chris.

Hi everyone, what a sad occation to resume posting here, but I need to share this with someone... my husband and I heard the news when we returned from the market. I was so shocked that I couldn't finish cutting the piece of bread i just bought and I left it there on the counter with the knife half way through. I hadn't listened to any of his stuff in a long time and the last three days or so I had random lyrics of his in my head. Last night it happened again and I said to my husband "I keep hearing Chris Cornells voice in my head all the time" and he said "Weird, I just this minute had to think of him as well!".
Cried, talked about two very important gigs, went to the nearest church to light a candle and pray, drank some beer and sang "say hello to heaven" at the top of our lungs... no one around here cares, so we, the social media awkward types decided to find at least some way to connect with others right now. thank you all for existing!

Today I'm like a raw, exposed nerve. I'm angry, shocked, miserable, nostalgic and tearful. I don't want be around other people. I'm eyes are red raw from crying. I'm not trying to be dramatic but my life would not have taken the course for better or for worse it has if I hadn't discovered soundgarden at a young age. I just don't know how to communicate how I feel at the moment. It's too painful. Especially in the context of some of the rumours floating around.

I can't believe this day has come so soon... it's one of those things, as you get older you see your heroes getting older and especially after last year, it becomes hard to not wonder just how much such a day will suck. But never in a million years would I have thought this day would come this early and in the way it has. Soundgarden was my first concert back in 97. I've seen them numerous times, Audioslave and Chris solo... I cannot believe I'll never get the chance again. His music has played such an important part in my life- both on record and live and now a big part of that is gone for good. It hurts on so many levels. I feel so badly for his family, especially his children. It's just so very sad for so many heart-aching reasons.

Not too familiar with Chris Cornell but he seemed healthy and well-adjusted. Surprised he's died so young. Rest in peace

Really still don't know what to say. So many of my friends that I met through a love of the Trees were also huge SG fans. I feel so bad for them, as well as his friends and family. Reminds me to appreciate what we have, and take opportunities while you can, because you never know if the chance will come again.

"(CNN)Chris Cornell, lead singer of Soundgarden and Audioslave, hanged himself, the Wayne County (Michigan) Medical Examiner's Office announced Thursday in a statement"
Reading this felt like an electro shock. F*ck no...

I had not seen him onstage in a long time, I watched part of the Detroit show from last night and also even watched some of the shitty Audioslave reunion thing from January, he looked very bad and very off.......drugs kill. Such a pity :-(

So much of his music has that nostalgic effect on me, certain records take my mind back to specific times in my life. I feel bad for the family, but selfishly, I'm wrecked about never getting another album from him again.

I feel bad for the family, but selfishly, I'm wrecked about never getting another album from him again. I think it is a no brainer that we are here to deal with our specific kind of pain as fans of Chris which is of course not the same as his families and friends pain (there are overlaps, of course). That's why I personally left out the disclaimer that I am deeply sorry for their loss, I trust that goes without saying. You know, what would be the consequence of you not missing his music in your life? That it doesn't matter if he is around or not, that you don't care what creativity and pieces of his soul and intellect he would have continued to share with us. If your ego wants to turn your love into something to feel bad about, say thanks for sharing and move on! Right now, I'm fluctuating between intellectually coping well and losing my shit in a "this is surreal, it just can't be, why?" kind of way.

If I listen to Mark's music almost everyday for more than 20 years now, it's thanks to Chris Cornell. My first introduction with all this northwestern US music was In Utero. Then Mudhoney. Then Superunknown because everyone in France was raving about this album and Black Hole Sun topped the charts here at the time. Then listening to Screaming Trees just because Chris Cornell produced it.
To be honest, I've never been such a Soundgarden fan, but there a some songs running in my head time to time, especially the introduction to Spoonman.

I wanted to give you pep talk to not feel selfish about missing him! Trying to be nice, basically - very sorry if that was confusing, my bad. (not being sarcastic or snappy, just to be clear!)
