I've said it a hundred times that Cornell was the last, great, pure, rock and roll singer.

One of my all-time favorite bands.

This one stings.

Damn it. Loved his work. Soundgarden was just in Indy last week, and now I really regret not ever getting to see them in concert.

The best part of that was when Chris ripped up a picture of the pope at the end of the song.

I never got to see Chris Cornell in concert, but Soundgarden was pretty much the sound track to the heyday of my youth. God damn, he went far to early.

     Back in 2012 I answered Chris Cornell to this thread asking which rock star I would want to emulate. I was able to see him with Soundgarden 5x's, Audioslave twice, and 3x's solo. Every time I was blown away by that beautiful voice.
RIP Chris.

Henry Rollins once said that Chris Cornell's voice could peel the pain off a wall

I heard that Eddie Vedder once invited someone onstage to sing "Hunger Strike" with him, and the kid begged NOT to sing Cornell's part, because he couldn't get up there

Got in the car to go swim this morning (I know, TTSTTTF!) and this song was playing on a local station. Recognised Cornell's voice and thought it was cool, never heard it before. Then it ended and the DJ said he'd been found dead in his room overnight. Absolutely shocked.

Well we can start with this: most suicide is caused by a lack of impulse control. Drugs exacerbate it. Depression in its worst state causes inaction (catatonia) not suicide. People blame it on depression because it is nicer than saying it was caused by selfishness, thoughtlessness and immaturity. Most of the people who will read this have contemplated suicide at one time or another. Cornell actually doing it doesn't mean that he had a level of depression that you or I never had.

The narrative that his soul was in such pain that he could no longer envision a life worth living is wrong.

I don't know why so many people kill themselves. I have never been close to there. What I have heard is drugs fry your 'happy maker' parts of your brain to the point were life eventually sucks.
I have read interview like this where Chris has talked about dealing with depression:


Dealing with depression
As far as depression, Cornell had said that he had a tendency to “be pretty closed off” and reclusive.
“It’s about trying to step out of being patterned and closed off and reclusive, which I’ve always had a problem with,” he told Rolling Stone. “It’s about attempting to be normal and just go out and be around other people and hang out. I have a tendency to sometimes be pretty closed off and not see people for long periods of time and not call anyone.”
He once described the period before rehab as a time in which he was dealing with the “daily drudgery of depression and either trying to not drink or do drugs or doing them.” In the 2015 interview with Rolling Stone Australia, he said that when he was drinking too much, it “has its own problems, particularly with depression.”
Talking about how his own music had melancholy vibes around the release of 1999’s Euphoria Morning, he told Guitar.com, “I’ve always liked depressing music because a lot of times listening to it when you’re down can actually make you feel less depressed. Also, even though a person may have problems with depression, sometimes you can actually be kind of comfortable in that space because you know how to operate within it.”
Asked if he perceived run-of-the-mill depression as a comfort zone, he replied, “The problem is, no one really knows what run-of-the-mill depression is. You’ll think somebody has run-of-the-mill depression, and then the next thing you know, they’re hanging from a rope. It’s hard to tell the difference. But I do feel that depression can be useful. Sometimes it’s just chemical. It doesn’t seem to come from anywhere. And whenever I’ve been in any kind of depression, I’ve over the years tried to not only imagine what it feels like to not be there, but try to remind myself that I could just wake up the next day and it could be gone because that happens, and not to worry about it. And at the same time, when I’m feeling great, I remember the depression and think about the differences in what I’m feeling and why I would feel that way, and not be reactionary one way or the other. You just have to realize that these are patterns of life and you just go through them.”

Cornell was the voice of my youth too. Once I heard that he'd passed, I opened up a playlist of his that I keep for when I'm flat, and the first song it played was...'Like Suicide'. I thought he got it pretty right in the lyrics of that one too - that suicide was an overreaction: 'With an ounce of pain, I wield a ton of rage...just like suicide'.

Given that we've recently lost a dear friend's daughter to the black dog of depression, this one really hurts.

I will let you down.

There's a strong like between suicide and substance abuse. That's not a secret, and it shouldn't be controversial.

There's also a link between depression and suicide. Also, not coincidentally, between substance abuse and depression. They feed into each other. Whether the depression comes first or the substance abuse does varies, but they're mutually reinforcing, and result in a downward spiral.

Cornell started abusing drugs as a young teen. If you don't think that played a role in his depression, you're crazy.

I was in Indy on business last week and went out for a run by my hotel and saw people lining up for a concert. I checked out who it was and considered it random luck it was Soundgarden and then went and caught the show. They sounded great, very shocked to hear about his death.

The role of impulsive–aggressive behaviours in risk of suicide has been well substantiated by several lines of evidence, including case–control studies in clinical populations, cohort studies in epidemiological samples, retrospective studies of completed suicides and case registries. The association between impulsive–aggressive behaviours and suicide is primarily seen among young people and seems to be independent from the role of associated axis I psychopathology, particularly major depression. High levels of impulsive–aggressive behaviours have been linked to early life environmental stressors such as childhood abuse and neglect, and these stressors are also more commonly seen among impulsive–aggressive suicides (Fig. 1). In addition, studies of life trajectories of suicides indicate that impulsive–aggressive suicides are likely to have had a trajectory characterized by the cumulative effects of negative life stressors and abuse, suggesting that a subset of suicides may, at least in part, be the result of a dysfunctional developmental cascade with onset early in life and mediated by excessive impulsive–aggressive behaviours. This is interesting because family studies of suicidal behaviour also suggest that these personality traits may mediate familial loading of suicide attempts and completions. Moreover, neurobiological correlates of suicidal behaviour are similar in nature to those reported for patients with impairment of impulse control and violent behaviours, which would further suggest that impulsive–aggressive behaviours may help define a behavioural endophenotype of suicide. This should be taken into account when planning studies investigating molecular genetic factors in suicide. On the other hand, not all suicides are associated with impulsive–aggressive behaviours. There is a need to better understand the mechanisms mediating suicide among individuals with no history of impulsive–aggressive behaviors.

In our pharmacology training it was stressed repeatedly that depressives tend to be flat and unmotivated to suicide, and that the introduction of antidepressant medication, particularly among those with bipolar disorder, can generate the stimulus that lead people to enact suicide plans.

Substance abuse and depression feed into and exacerbate each other, regardless of the conditions at root for either.

Anti-anxiety meds.. possible contributor. This leaves me wondering how committed he was to his own death. Ativan can certainly be dangerous under a number of circumstances, but there are far more potent methods available if your plan is to end it all. (Increased risk of suicide is a known side effect.)

Saying most people who are depressed don't commit suicide therefore not a cause is like saying most people who smoke don't get cancer. Therefore smoking doesn't cause cancer. Yeah. If you have ever felt so depressed that life felt empty I think you would understand why some people commit suicide. Whether or not anti-depressives can precipitate suicide by activating people before their anti-depressant effects play in is controversial. It may be that people who get anti-depressives are among the most depressed after all they felt bad enough that they went to the doctor. So the first few weeks after starting a prescription may just be a high risk time. The alternative is to not treat the depressed good luck with that. There are studies that show that cognitive behavioural treatment is just as effective as anti-depressants so if someone is really reluctant to try meds go that route. Most people however seem to either not want to pay for it (expensive) and it takes effort too.

When the first ms veganerd died by her own hand, i was so focused on helping our daughter, that i completely lost sight of my own mental health and ended up in a deep pit of depression that, ironically, made me a bad father. It took an intervention and some hard work to get out of it.

In this case I doubt it. Before his death it was reported he was slurring his word and had taken some extra antidepressant drugs (Ativan).

First, let me just say I have only the same info as everyone else....

That being said, when people die in such a way that could be embarrassing (especially famous people) their loved ones will go to great lengths to preserve the dignity of their memory. In this case (pure wild speculation here) it could be just "plain ol suicide" and the Ativan story an attempt to make Cornell a victim (of pharmaceuticals) rather than just a depressed person who gave up.

That would also be a good cover up for a choke and stroke.

What's being reported is also very likely to be truth.

I only bring this up because of the stories surrounding the death of pro surfer, Andy Irons. The initial story was that he died from dengue fever. It was known all along to be a simple drug overdose but the dengue fever story lives on today, several years later.


Again, I have no information about Chris Cornell that contradicts the official reports.

I like to add that usually these celebrity deaths have little to no affect on me but this one for some reason gets me a little choked up.

Been driving in the work truck blasting Soundgarden all day.


Just like the INSX Michael Hutchence. I was of the belief he died choking & stroking, that was the rumor at the time: "Michael Hutchence’s body would be discovered by a maid at 11:50 a.m. He was found naked and in a kneeling position behind the door, after a belt around his neck (and attached to the door-closing mechanism) had broken. He had choked to death in a case of apparent suicide. Hutchence was 37 years old. A analysis report of Hutchence's blood indicates the presence of alcohol, cocaine, Prozac (antidepressant) and prescription drugs. Cause of death ruled suicide.


It seemed there wasn't much attempt to cover up for David Carradine. That shit got out quick!

I'm right there with you.

For the first time in my life I have stopped thinking of suicide as the coward's way out. I think many people have never been to a point in their lives where they have some sense of pain, dread, or other sense of discomfort that they cannot shake. It can give you a sense of helplessness.
