I agree with Stip's point that it's time to stop bitching about the band being happy.

'This became the benchmark against which we all came to measure what music could do. Even if we left these songs behind we expected new music to make us feel the same way.'
That's the connection we have with these songs as we've gotten older, at least for me. Well said. I think that statement sums up why this hurts like it does even though a lot of us haven't been listening to Soundgarden much over the past several years. Those songs by those bands hitting us the way they did as teenagers cultivated a relationship with music that I have been able to carry with me throughout my life. It's evolved sure, but it's never really wavered. This loss feels really personal because of how much I appreciate being given that window.

Also talks about his relationships with his parents/siblings. It's multi part and this is just the first part but all are on youtube. He also says Eddie is one of his closest friends and a great guy.

Thanks for the link. Not a huge fan of Howard Stern but this is really good.

Nicely done, Stip. Long live Eddie and Lanegan. This is probably one of the hardest artist/celebrity deaths I've dealt with and I'm no spring chicken. Guess I didn't realize how much impact he had on my youth until something like this, so sudden so tragic so mystifying, happens.

Still mystified by his death, I've been listening to some of his youtube interviews and I don't see darkness, depression etc but as people have pointed out, you don't always see it. What a loss.

It's still very difficult to understand, I can only think there must be some other factor(s) involved that make this somewhat different to a closed-book intentional suicide. I guess that reflects what I would prefer to think, of course, but it's still quite strange and hard to believe regardless. His poor family.

Yes, and I find it particularly off-colour to dredge up lyrics he wrote twenty years ago as though they provide some insight into his thought process. There's little in his current output that reveals a tormented, depressed guy (that isn't to say that isn't what he could have been in private, but I don't think it's reflected in his work if so - and I suspect he wasn't).

If it was induced by prescription drugs, then they will have claimed the lives of Michael Jackson, Prince, and Chris Cornell. Jesus.

Anxiety drugs can be nasty stuff, especially with alcohol.

No one will ever truly know what happened that night except for Chris Cornell. For the rest of us, his exact cause of death will remain superunknown.

That's why I stick with just alcohol. And weed.
