On July 20, for what would have been his birthday, an unreleased Chris Cornell track hit the airwaves. It was a version of Guns N’ Roses’ “Patience”. Reaction was mixed. Mrs. LeBrain likes it, while I do not.
When the local radio station played it and asked for feedback, listeners offered a range of opinions. “Voice is annoying,” said Ernie. Sarah thought the track was “Beautiful”. “Don’t care for it,” commented Stacy while Ron found his voice “haunting”. Meanwhile Steve said it wasn’t as good as his cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U”.
My comment was simple. “I didn’t play the whole thing. Just enough to know why it was unreleased.” Apparently I must have triggered Chris (who I’ve never seen or spoken to before in my life), even more than the guy who called Cornell’s voice “annoying”. Check out the exchange below.
I’m trying to get better at taking compliments. Hey, I’m the be all end all now! Take that, internet.

Harrison’s Mad Max comment is still better. Tell Shephere McPoopypantz to chill the fuck out. Then tell him he’ll never be Ben Shephard.

I doubt he even knows who Ben Shephard is.

I’m honestly most surprised Cornell covered GNR. I thought those self-serious bands didn’t wanna be associated with “hair metal”.

Soundgarden opened for Guns in Europe in 92. Remember the Live in Paris concert with Lenny Kravitz and Joe Perry and Steven Tyler? Soundgarden opened.

It was Pantera at first, then SG did it for three weeks. It was SG opening when they came through my town on the Slave to the Grind tour.

It doesn’t come anywhere near to blowing me away but I’ve heard worse.

I think we’ve all heard worse… but no Facebook troll is changing my mind, the song has to do that on its own.

Not a bad track. I’ve been listening to a lot of him this week and I wouldn’t have skipped this if it came on, but won’t run to listen to it on its own.

I have a Cornell solo thing that Aaron sent me a few years ago and I think I only played it once.

I’m not a fan of the OG song or Chris Cornell. But I didn’t think this was too bad. It’s funny how people get all bent out of shape from other’s opinions. He probably more bent out of shape of how sick of a burn it is.

I don’t listen to Fozzy but he seems alright. He’s no Homme. Is he?
Wikipedia says he’s American/Canadian just like his nemesis Bach.

No, but he’s right up there. Complete waste of space. Both as a ‘musician’ and as a crap rent-an-opinion on metal docs.
