Who won?

well Chris made better music while he was alive so he wins I guess. The real winner is Eddie Vedder though, since he's still breathing

Maybe sober married life wasn't for him but he didn't want to do drugs again. Maybe he wanted to die when he still looked good (which he certainly did for 52) so he'd be remembered as a cool good looking guy. Not some old fart like Keith Richards or someone like that. Idk that's probably too shallow it was probably more to do with a deep sense of depression and a feeling like the best days were long over and nothing was left to look forward to. Unless some sucicide note comes out we might never know why.

I think the mystery will always live on as will his music. And that is something that will be remembered. Like i have no idea why he did it.

>>72855830
but everyone still considers keith richards and mick jagger to be pretty fucking cool
and he was still gettting grammy nominations and shit like every single year so that doesn't make sense either

Yeah thats true, i really have no idea why it doesn't make sense why he did it. Like Scott Weiland was a mess so it was expected he'd OD on his tour bus someday. Chris had so much to live for thats what makes his death so strange.

aside from Eddie being alive, should be count Mark Lanegan too?

Man, honestly, what is wrong with you and your taste? Its all about complexness of work.

Alice in Chains is much deeper and emotional. It's unique in its own way. I mean there is no such other band that has harmony like Staley and Cantrell had. Two of those voices combined and Staley's depression were giving some unreal feels.

Bullshit drugs are good you expand and challenge the mind. You see reality for what it is, its a test of character to see weather or not you can enjoy them responsibly.

It's about morals. I don't break the law and respect the authority of this world. My parents, my government, and society at large.

By in large, heroin is not a good decision. I do agree, that maybe a appropriately dosed bit of opiates would give me a little boost in moderation. But it's just not the world we live in.

>>72856490
Kieth is cool. I like weed he makes playing the giutar look like nothing. But holy shit Chris Cornell is the last guy you'd think would die, let alone that it'd be sucicide. At least people know and respect who he was.

Maybe he still struggled with the drugs
>"I went from being a daily drug user at 13 to having bad drug experiences and quitting drugs by the time I was 14 and then not having any friends until the time I was 16," he told Rolling Stone in 1994.

>"There was about two years where I was more or less agoraphobic and didn't deal with anybody, didn't talk to anybody, didn't have any friends at all. All the friends that I had were still [messed] up with drugs and were people that I didn't really have anything in common with."

>>72856613

Ha you funny. I really can't tell, if your a troll or some alt right kid. What i can tell is that our generation is fucked. Even libtards don't do drugs these days. It's lame but a new wave of degeneracy shall come.

>>72856631
As someone who is almost pushing 30 I really would say it still only exists because of Kurt's death. In 1 or 2 decades from now I think it's highly unlikely anyone will bat an eye at Nirvana.

Pearl Jam has always been awful. That band is responsible for that post-grunge sound that flooded the market in the late 90s.

leave them hungry

dying young immortalises you and allows people to say "wow he never released a terrible album" "he was taken too soon" "he was too perfect for this world" while an heroing 30 years past your prime after releasing tons of later life albums that can never match your earlier work just makes you look like a sad old faggot who killed himself because he had become a talentless hack

imo the musical ideal is to release as many great albums as you can and retiring as soon as you peak thus keeping your legacy intact as you live on royalty shekels in a tax haven or using your money to live out your other dream careers(like the guy from Wham becoming a Formula 3 driver)

I think the individual is more important than the legacy even if the person is famous. I mean, if he was really convicted to kill himself after all this time I'm not going to call him a faggot for doing so. 52 years is long enough to make up your mind moreso than say being like a teenager or in your 20s and killing yourself. I mean I know that everyone is different, but I would actually commend him for making it that long if he had been struggling for a long time or whatever the case may be.

Indeed. I think the only reason he didn't just kill himself is because just another dose or hit of heroin/crack/whatever was so desirable that it kept him from pulling the trigger for years. Until he just rotted into a skeleton and stopped breathing on his couch, crack pipe in hand.

Chris was murdered, and the killer dressed it up as a suicide and got away with it.

Is it just me or does it make u feel weirdly relieved hearing about suicides. Like theyve finally decided to stop taking the pain. Like watching someone graduate college, youre happy for them but in a way almost envious. sometimes i feel like all the moralfag shit aside, suicide is natural and may even be beneficial in the altruistic sense.

The fact that so many books still name Nirvana as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band of the '90s ever only tells you how far '90s rock music still is from becoming a serious art. '60s critics have long recognized that the greatest rock musicians of that decade were Pete Townsend and Marvin Gaye, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. '80s critics rank the highly controversial Madonna over synthpop musicians who were highly popular in clubs around Europe. '90s critics are still blinded by commercial success. Nirvana sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. '60s critics grow up listening to a lot of music besides the Beatles and the Stones, '80s critics grow up listening to more than just Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen. '90s critics are often totally ignorant of the other bands of the decade, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Nirvana did anything worthy of being saved.

How many grunge guitarists could convincingly pull off a smooth jazz solo?

How do people honestly believe AiC is better than Soundgarden? Soundgarden are far more deeply emotional, and have vastly more interesting compositions. I've also seen the claim that AiC is heavier, which is demonstrably ridiculous.

what? Layne Staley was absolutely raw emotion. Guy sounded tortured half the time, and yes, AiC was more metal oriented, Soundgarden had more of a classic arena rock sound to them, you can tell they were influenced by Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, especially in their earlier work.

Both are really good though.

Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath are not "arena rock."

>>72862668

Layne was nothing without Cantrell harmonizing, and only sang about how drugs are bad. 4th of July, The Day I Tried to Live, and most of Badmotorfinger are heavier than anything AiC did. As far as raw emotion, I'm talking about more than just vocals (not that Cornell wasn't an incredibly emotional singer). Everything about songs like Zero Chance or Like Suicide were fucking powerfully emotional.

>>72862763

eh, I was going to suggest Queen in there, but backspaced and thought Black Sabbath was more appropriate, the influence from Black Sabbath is more notable. 70's Hard Rock would be more appropriate I suppose.

Cantrell was in Mad Season?

Chris Cornell was a far superior songwriter and singer. And wasn't a complete moron.

But I do like that both their suicides are fucked up and will always leave us with questions. Was Kurt murdered? Did Chris die while jacking his dick and choking himself out?

I find it odd Cornell didn't leave a note or anything unless he sent something to his wife.

Are you deaf? There's still heavy harmonization. And that forced vibrato. Disgusting.

Yeah, I mean obviously it's unfortunate to lose musicians who you feel close to, but no one really knows what's going on inside someone's head in those final moments. It's a shame he's not here but at least he's not suffering.

The fact that his wikipedia has always said "reposed the remains". I just don't know dude. Some of the most morbid.
>The police went with McCallum and her ex-husband to Staley's home; "When police kicked in the door to Layne Staley's University District apartment on April 19, there, laying on a couch, lit by a flickering TV, next to several spray-paint cans on the floor, not far from a small stash of cocaine, near two crack pipes on the coffee table reposed the remains of the rock musician." It was reported that the 6 foot (1.8 metres) Staley weighed only 86 pounds (39 kg) when his body was discovered.

I read an article about his death as soon as I heard about it (only one article.. didn't search anymore cause I didn't want to get bummed) but I swear the article mentioned he was found with a "band" around his neck.

Guess I totally could have misread what was said but I know he hung himself but this article goes on to talk about the person who found him had broke into the bathroom and found him on the floor with a band around his neck.

If that's true.. it could be asphyxiation. But if not.. dude had some big boy balls to strap a band on his neck and then sit there and wait.

Crazy..

>just checked the article again and it states it how I understood it.

I think I was a better guitarist than Kurt Cobain after playing for two weeks. Just thought I'd share.

What are some good Chris Cornell songs that sound like Nirvana songs?

>>72855501
They are both going to be remembered for the great music they left behind, and the mystery surrounding their deaths. I can understand why Kurt wanted to die, addicted to heroin, hated the fame, internal stomach pain, it's just the way it happened was a mindfuck. I'm sure with the people surrounding him they knew he would do something just not to that extreme, and it's incredibly murky if it was suicide or a murder (I lead more towards suicide because there's more tangible evidence to support it).

With Chris it really just came out of the blue. On a solo tour, doing Temple of the Dog stuff, making a new album with Soundgarden, has a family, then just necked himself. Like I said with Kurt I can at least understand some of the circumstances around it, but with Chris I just don't know why he would do that. It still doesn't make any sense to me.

Layne was a complete pushover and a weak person. Gf got him into heroin, she leaves, then she dies, then he just wastes away shooting up all day until he's a ghoul.

Having watched the video of the show before he did it and having seen him talk about not wanting to disappoint the fans, all it would've taken for someone with a history of depression would've been the right situation. His performance wasn't very good that show, he was all over the place, the opening act was a fan of the bands', the pressure of recording new material. Let's say he decided to drink that night. Or do some other drug while in that state of mind.

>>72855501
Kurt did it cause his tummy hurt from a serious condition coupled with drugs (to ease the tummy ache). Plus he was clearly depressed.

If anyone bothered listening to Chris lyrics it's be obvious he was clinically depressed too

>it's just music though
Sure

If you mean like Bleach, early Soundgarden albums are as close as you'll ever get. In the 90s they started so using very different from each other (relative to the 80s)
