One of my friends played guitar for Chris on solo tours and records. I remember him (Pete Thorn) telling me how nice and good a person Chris was. The thing that really stood out to me was how Pete would talk about how intelligent Chris was. I think maybe Chris had just a HS education, but he said Chris had a huge vocabulary and was extremely well-read and smart. The other thing is that Chris was a tremendous guitar player, even though he wasn't known for it really. Certainly, he was known for his voice and songwriting. I actually have one of Chris' signature guitars and had him sign it.
Cornell was one of my heroes. I am very freaked out and saddened by his suicide/death.
went down the YouTube rabbit hole last night and found this, which is what I've been listening to at work today:
for some reason the uploader has tilted the screen, but there's a lot of good late 80s-early 2000s stuff on there. Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, STP, Radiohead, etc.
So what's up with the Linkin Park dude's suicide, did he do it on Cornell's birthday to join Cornell? That is some fucked up shit. Obligatory yet Fred Durst lives followup tag.
sure looks like it. read they became good friends 10 or so years ago. godfather to cornell's son. really need to improve mental health care access/screening/information etc.
Probably. Or it's a stigma at least.Do these guys really lack access to mental health care?
