It's entirely possible to say the same thing about The Fixer video, but in both cases, we'd be lying to ourselves.

They probably know its stupid, I mean Eddie pretty much admitted than sirens was cheesetastic.

I wonder if that song ended up big or something, would Cornell have become the next justin Timberlake instead of starting up soundgarden again.

I just don't think cheesetastic = stupid to them. That's the thing. They like something, they'll do it. I think it's harder to accept that they might just like shitty music now.

No I mean they know that it can/will be perceived as cheesy or whatever. But they don't care cause they're pj and that's what they do. The fixer and sirens are just aspects of eddies sincerity amplified to 1000.

'That bitch ain't a part of me'.....is something else. Admittedly I don't know much about Chris Cornell though, maybe he's all about the Bitches.

I think that's debatable.

The very definition of a chance is that they usually fail. He thought he'd try something new out, he knew it was going to get some kind of reaction. I honestly haven't even looked into it much but I don't get the uproar it caused. Years later, it must be satisfying for him to know that atleast he tried something. A little turn in a long and fruitful career. What's the big deal?

With Cornell it was a different story. I don't think the issue was him doing the Timbaland album but how it turned out as it's always the case. I also seem to remember him getting a lot of shit for cancelling a show and playing a corporate event instead or something along the lines. He obviously had big plans for his solo career, i mean he even did a Bond movie theme song. I think it all was a big fail in retrospect.

I love the shit out of that Bond song, though
