Seattle, WA, United States (1964 – present)

Chris Cornell (1964, Seattle, WA, United States) is an American singer/songwriter and guitarist.

In 1984 he formed the band Soundgarden with bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Throughout the late 1980s and 90s, Soundgarden experienced major success as one of the major grunge bands (along with groups such as Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam).

In 1990, Chris Cornell worked together with the (then) Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, and Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Mike McCready (who would later form Pearl Jam) in a project named Temple of the Dog. They wrote a 10 song album as tribute to Andrew Wood, the singer of Mother Love Bone who had died the year before of a heroin overdose.

In 1997 Soundgarden split amicably at the zenith of their popularity and Chris began a solo career. He released the sucessful album Euphoria Morning. Out of this album came the single

Can’t Change Me.

When Zach De La Rocha left Rage Against the Machine in 2001, Chris Cornell joined the instrumentalists of Rage Against the Machine to form the band Audioslave.

In 2006 Chris recorded a theme song for the James Bond 007 movie, “Casino Royale”, titled

You Know My Name, which is used as the opening song.

In the fall of 2006, Cornell started recording his second solo album Carry On, with producer Steve Lillywhite. Among some fellow artists who are expected to accompany him on his second solo release is friend and legendary musician Gary Lucas, who has contributed acoustic guitar to some of the tracks. Cornell has stated that he is always writing, and that there are some songs that he was not able to put into an Audioslave album. Carry On was released in the summer of 2007.

Hey you think its sad that Chris has sheepish fans that don't drop him after he releases a shit album?, well i find it sad that these people who dislike him now stick around to troll his page lol, if you really thought his music was crap now you'd move on and support some other artist.

It's both funny and sad that Chris has all these sheepish fans giving him mindless praise despite having released nothing but mediocre and outright bad music for the last ten years. Soundgarden was great, but that's in the past. A reunion would be more of a sellout than Scream.

Like him or not, Chris Cornell has to be one of the top 5 vocalists in rock music ever. Anyone that thinks otherwise must be tone deaf.
