I only just now realized that Chris Cornell was the lead singer of both Soundgarden and Audioslave. Somehow that fact just slipped under my radar so all I ever knew him for was his solo career and "You Know My Name" the lead song for Casino Royale. I mean goddamn I hadn't realized how much I loved this man until I figured out that, oh hey, no **** Soundgarden and Audioslave sound similar. They both had a godlike singer with a 4 octave vocal range that could kill grunge, rock, and hard rock music like it's nothing. This man was a ****ing legend and I knew that. But I didn't know he was my literal childhood.
The ****ing sad thing? My childhood was made up of a few bands. Very few. The Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N' Roses, Queen, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Linkin Park, Audioslave, Soundgarden, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Creedence Clearwater Revival and one solo act being David Bowie was IT. That's all I listened to for forever. Linkin Park, Audioslave, Soundgarden, and David Bowie... They're all gone... And it breaks my damn heart.
