chris cornell



well that's been known on this site :rolleyes:

Thank you, I couldn't think of his name to save my life.:)

shame on you Vod.

only because i have all his albums (soundgarden, audioslave and his solo stuff)

Meh, what can i say? In 1oth grade4 i had the most inadequate english teacher in history, and as a result, the next school i went to stuck me in REMEDIAL english.

11th grade was wasted being taught english basics....

fortunately, in 12th grade, my new remedial english teacher actually listened to me when i said i didnt belong (in 11th, he told me i was arrogant to think i didnt belong in his class, even though on all of my progress reports he stated i wrote at a level that exceeded his advanced placement students... cocksucker...) and i was moved into a regular level english class. By that time, i had passed the gradesd where my school required it to be read. Instead, i got Lord of the Flies and Hamlet.

i have a few .. but despite my efforts, the music wouldnt stick ..
same as alice and chains ... it grates on my nerves despite my efforts.

i never read it in school ..
i was always a crazy reader .. eveything i could get my hands on .. which is why i had a tough time in school english .. the stuff we had o read was boring (with the exception of To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Crysalids, etc)
I wouldnt read the book, and then the day the essay was due i'd ask my friend what it was about - and write the essay there in then in class while we were supposed to be doing something with a new book.

he'd get a 60% and i'd get a 65%.
wasnt much motivation for me if i could get a low passing mark without trying.

of course .. i'd do it differently now ...

a few lead singers that can sing and not bust my speakers, some you lot may not have heard of...

Kaiser Chiefs
Keane
Doves
Snow Patrol
Stereophonics
Dido
Gwen Stefani

wasn't chris cornell and eddie vedder in
temple of the dog?

I love Trent Reznor. Not necesarrily what would classically called a good singing voice, but he isnt bad, and it is perfect for the music he makes.

I am actually a big fan of music where talented vocals arent too terribly important:

Underworld
Chemical Brothers
The Prodigy


Come to think of it, the English make some fucking great music, dont they? :)
