Yes, very sad for Ben. ☹ I hope he finds other musicians to work with. I hate when people suggest SG should replace Chris. Are you serious??? Chris is IRREPLACEABLE. He is different than other vocalists. You cannot substitute him. 😟 I hate the idea of any well established bands changing the singer and retaining the band name, because it simply isn't the same band. And it's also massively lame. Whilst I accept other musicians within a band coming and going (Hiro Yamamoto as a good example here), you just can't do it with a lead singer. Especially an iconic one. If Matt, Ben and Kim wanted to do a new album, with Ben singing, that'd be great, but it wouldn't be Soundgarden (and they obviously wouldn't call it that). I'd buy it, and I'm sure I'd love it. Just out of interest, has anyone actually suggested replacing him? Because they're bonkers if they have.

Been in a tailspin the past few days about the Rev. Radio plays Hungerstrike much, but I hadn't caught it at the beginning since Chris headed over.... hearing him sing the opening verse? yeah, muted it a few lines in. All too sad. Unreal. Some brother put up a tribute video on you tube, since posted to C's facebook page. It got lots of props. Even from the Mrs. Overall, it was ok. A tragic reminder I spose. Plus, he dissed on the Scream album, so for that jabronism move, I gotta give an overall B- grade. But it's always good to discover Chris' music, no matter what time frame.

I hear you, DT. I still have days where I can't think of him without getting upset. Many days actually.
I really liked the tribute video. Made me very emotional each time I've seen it. My favorite part was when he discovered Soundgarden. 😎
I don't agree with his diss on Scream, either.
I still think of Chris every day. Still talk about him and still wonder what really happened in his head that night. I miss him very much...

Right about this time we shouldve been discussing the new SG album that wouldve been dropping soon......
it's depressing to think about how much more music he had in him. And he was all about writing songs. There was so much music to come....

I was watching last weeks episode of Inhumans and there was a pretty rough cover of Blow Up The Outside World. I wondered why they wouldn't use the original, but that made me miss Soundgarden

And he was all about writing songs. There was so much music to come.... I so wish we were discussing new album and upcoming tour! There was so much more to come. I still struggle to comprehend this all. One day, I'm sure we'll get bits and pieces but it will be bittersweet 💔 A year ago today, I saw Chris for the last time with TOTD. I had no idea that would be the last time. In fact, we all discussed SG's future tour that we blissfully assumed would happen. UGH 😟

^ Adam Luvine did pretty well singing it. So many covers and when people get to the... the naked floor reminds me part... can't get the Rev's range just singing normally. I wonder if someone is playing geetar cuz it sounds pretty close to the studio recording. Didn't see any live videos of the performance. Maybe it was an isolated track and he sang to it. The tuning is something like FFCCCF, unreal. And Chris wrote it 25 yrs ago. Always miles ahead of everyone else. Sigh. how much unfinished music is probably sittin in the brother's studio. Unbelievable. SLS, Maybe it was full circle for C musically, then he took off to go be with Andy (wood) again. Miss him much, as you said.
