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.

Reuniting Soundgarden was his biggest sell-out move yet, think about it.

I'm disappointed in StratocastertB, for not accepting Scream for what it is- a brilliant album.

Saddened by the fact he wanted to try something else - and ended up in Timbaland. Would go otherwise if it wasn't him who Chris is working with.

Commercial shit implies nothing to popularity. Hot Chocolate is commercial shit, and no one knows who the fuck they are.

If it was 'commercial shit' i'm pretty sure Scream would sell a lot more albums than a Soundgarden reunion would have

Why all the hate towards Scream? He tried something new, and it turned out to be really good. [2] Exactly. If it was 'commercial shit' i'm pretty sure all the songs from Scream would have a lot more than a couple of hundred plays per week on this site.
