Grunge is a death sentence

he probably killed himself because he knew his best days were behind him. he'd been pretty much forgotten since audioslave broke up 10 years ago, and even when he was in audioslave everyone noticed he couldn't sing as well as he did in soundgarden.

Indeed, I think it gave us some of the deepest looks of how dark depression can get. A lot of the lyrics from bands at the time were extremely personal.

Anyways I'm just gonna post some of my favorite and feelsy Cornells, maybe some robots will relate

>His days were behind him
Though a departure from his soundgarden/audioslave days, he had a ton of new fans from his solo stuff. He wasn't completely irrelevant

>Couldn't sing as well
I mean his voice did deteriorate a bit but just watch this from 2010

He still belts out screams, though they aren't as high

He fell for the addiction meme.

So many people live in misery because they believe they are addicted to something. More specifically, they think "addiction" (essentially a label describing habitual, self-destructive behaviour) means they have no free will.

You have free will. You have the power to change things.

Lots of things are possible. Not at the same time, you have to pick certain paths - but those paths are open.

Start with yourself if you don't believe me. Some people believe they are physically incapable of losing weight. They just have a mental block which makes them think they will always be this way when science and thousands of testimonials from other people prove this is not the case. When you experience this for yourself, you can extrapolate elsewhere.

There is no law of the universe which says, for example, you cannot end this year without a gf. Or run a business in five years.

If you really wanted to, you could pick up the phone, can some random customer service place, and tell the advisor to FUCK RIGHT OFF. Perhaps you think that's something you would never do, something that OTHER people would do, that you're not 'that kind of person' - but is it not possible?

In fact, don't bother with the gym just yet. Pick up the phone. Do yourself a favour. Realise your potential

I know nothing is impossible. I've lost a bunch of weight at one point, looked good, was mostly sober, had a decent job, talked to more people but i still never felt happiness or content with it all. He had 10 times more than I ever will and it still wasn't enough for him, well I don't wanna use the term "good enough" because you can realize you have it good but still something inside doesn't click.
The point I'm trying to make is, what do you do when nothing quells the dread and anxiety inside?

>>38023694
Oh, in that case idk.

My life's pretty shit at the moment but I've got a few carrots dangling so I don't mind drudging along.

Maybe get a dog or something. That can spark something primal.

I'm in a rut at the moment as well so I know things seem worse, but even when they're better there's still just something I can't put my finger on

Also I had a dog but my uncle gave it a pork bone and he ate it and died from internal bleeding :^) That's part of what sparked my rampant alcoholism

I think this thread is dead but I wanted to share one more in case anyone still has the thread open.

This is probably my favorite soundgarden song, It's about the singer hearing a noise and finds out its a bird that broke it's neck flying into his window. He feels awful for it and mercy kills it with a brick and wrote a song about it.

>>38023214
Didn't expect to get a Chris cornel thread on here. Yeah, I'm in the same boat anon. His death will never make sense. Usually I don't give a fuck about celeb desths...but this one hit close to home. Songs like "the day I tried to live" were sources of comfort when I felt alone and depressed. I have all of sound gardens albums on vinyl too.

>>38025482
>this one hit close to home
Exactly
I know I never "knew" him, but his lyrics were a crystal clear window into his soul, very relatable for robots, my stomach dropped when I heard about it.

>The Day I Tried to Live
I feel like that's the Robot anthem
That's actually the song that got me into Soundgarden, my friends were all into this prog metal band Between The Buried and me, and they had this cover on their cover album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shCecux19_Q

I didn't quite like the metal at the time but even their version of that song was pretty good and I had to hear the original

I'm jealous about having all the vinyls though. Did you ever get a chance to see them live?

>>38025762
The line "The words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head" is the most relatable sentence I have ever heard.

Yep, I collect vinyls. Ultramega OK got remastered so I picked that up, it sounds great. Records are a great robot hobby.

I didn't get to see SG live sadly, but about a year ago I saw Chris on his solo tour at my uni. He sounded amazing. He had a cellist that played with him during Fell on black days and black hole sun, was amazing. I have a video of black hole sun actually.

>>38025874
Fuck I would have killed to even see him solo. I was kinda broke anytime they came to my city so I never got to see them, I regret it now.
You should upload that black hole sun video though.

>"The words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head"
That and the chorus
>One more time around
>(Might do it)
>One more time around
>(I might make it)
>The day I tried to live

Then in the end it just hauntingly switches to
>One more time around
>One more time around
Where the optimism and hope is gone and you're just going around. He had such a way with lyrics

I was lucky enough to see TotD back in November, god that was so close. I would have never seen him sing had I not gone. Now, that concert means even more to me than it already does.

Aight I gotchu.

Heres a link to one of their bootleg cds I put on youtube, I think it's "The Garden Grows" or something, it had a few names.
I could only find a few songs floating around and not the whole set, someone on youtube was nice enough to upload them all for me so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

Same with Robin Williams. You can be loved and praised by millions or even billions of people over multiple generations for a lifetime of beautiful work, but it won't save you from yourself.

Some are just fated to sadness.

Please ignore the cringe shit on my channel, highschool was rough.

>>38026868
Damn, that's one of the clearer versions of that floating around on youtube. And the crowd isn't screaming and ruining it!
Thank you for that definitely saving it.

bumping a quality thread 'cause soundgarden meant a lot to me and i felt exactly the same hopelessness when he died. if he can't make, how are we supposed to?

>>38026948
Thanks anon. I tried to record more but the security were assholes about cameras. Glad you enjoyed it

>>38026751
>Some are fated to sadness
Exactly, i feel like that's what being a robot is, even though some people want this to be wizard chan 2.0

>>38027216
Ya that always sucks, like just let people share the performance.

>>38027133
>if he can't make, how are we supposed to?
This haunts me so much
A few days after i heard about it and the day after crushing most of a bottle of rum I thought to myself "Todays the day"
I went downstairs and looked around for my belt for about 20 minutes but couldn't find it, so I went back to bed for another 12 or so hours and slept the booze off lel
