It's really unfortunate that drug addiction to opiates (heroin, prescription pills, etc.) is most likely the root of this mans short life. Always makes me question how oxy contin is marketed as a safe pain killer. It's basically time released heroin at a higher cost...
Sad but true. I was listening to George Noory one evening and a guest he had on mentioned that the pills perscribed to Robin Williams was the cause of his dimise.

One of my faves.

Very sad.

I could remember being in first grade around they time they came out and seeing black hole sun and just thinking about how warped that music video was. Lol RIP to Chris Cornell

It's hard to believe all the big name music acts plagued by suicides.

I understand depression, but you'd think being on stage in front of fans who love you would keep you going.
i just said pretty much the same thing to a friend on facebook.. looking in from the outside, you'd think people like him would have pretty much everything one could want in the world, but it just goes to show that you can never truly know what is going on in a person's head and the demon's that they face daily..
someone else said that one of his songs, i'll try and find it in a second, was all about his wanting out.. brb, see if i can find the name of the song, wasn't one that jumped out at me..

CHRIS CORNELL LYRICS
"Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart"

Every time I stare into the sun
Trying to find a reason to go on
All I ever get is burned and blind,
Until the sky bleeds the pouring rain

When you came along the time was right
Pulled me like an apple red and ripe
Wasn't very long you took a bite
And did me wrong, and it serves me right

And I nearly forgot my broken heart
It's taking me miles away,
From the memory of how we broke apart
Here we go round again, again

Every little key unlocks the door,
Every little secret has a lie
Trying to take a picture of the sun
It won't help you to see the light
Every little word upon your lips
Makes a little cut where blood pours out
Every little drop of blood a kiss that I won't miss
Not for anything

Did you know that Cornell originally auditioned for Soundgarden as their drummer? When they heard him sing it changed all that. I remember the first Lollapalooza MTV interviews: They were asking every band who they were intimidated/inspired by at the festival. Soundgarden was the the only band that replied, "nobody". I thought that was pretty badass...
