Chris Cornell – Ave Maria

Chris Cornell – Ave Maria

Cornell recorded this wonderful rendition of the classical tune for 1997’s A Very Special Christmas 3.
Cornell teamed up with the band Eleven to record “Ave Maria”; he would also work with them for his debut solo album Euphoria Morning. This was a smart move to record “Ave Maria” with Eleven, because the duet between Cornell and Natasha Shneider is freaking awesome. 
So, sit back and enjoy some Christmas tunes..90’s style.

Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell Up For Grammys

Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell Up For Grammys

I forgot to mention last week that Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell are nominated for a Grammy.
What makes this even better is that friends/collaborators are pitted against each other in the Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media category.
Vedder’s “Guaranteed”, from Into The Wild, and Cornell’s “You Know My Name”, from Casino Royale, are the nominated tracks.
Honestly, I hope Vedder wins. I know I’m bias towards anything that anyone from Pearl Jam does, but Vedder’s music from Into The Wild is a wonderful piece of work. I’m glad that he’s …read more

Chris Cornell – Can’t Change Me

Chris Cornell – Can’t Change Me

What a great song from Chris Cornell’s 1999 solo debut Euphoria Morning.
I know that I was shocked when I first heard “Can’t Change Me”, because it was vastly different than anything I heard from Soundgarden. It’s a shame that this was his first and only single released from Euphoria Morning, because it’s just a fantastic album.
I’ve always loved this song and probably always will. It has such a great premise, you know about this powerful that can do anything except change another person.
If you want something really cool, then you should check out the French version that was found on …read more

Chris Cornell On Tour…Again!

Chris Cornell On Tour…Again!

Chris Cornell will remain on the road until the end of November, as he adds another round of dates.
The former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman has been touring for the last six months in support of his second solo album Carry On. He’s currently wrapping up some dates in the Western parts of the U.S. and Canada before heading to Australia and then returning to the States…again! I think my man needs a well deserved rest soon.
Speaking of Australia, you should check out the Oz Music Scene for all of your land down under needs.
Anyways, for a full list of dates and ticket …read more

FYI: Velvet Revolver and the Seattle Connection

FYI: Velvet Revolver and the Seattle Connection

The current Velvet Revolver/Alice in Chains tour isn’t the first time that the members of VR have been tied up with a Seattle band. It’s a long and interesting road…

On September 29, 1992 AIC releases Dirt and STP with Core.
In 1995 Weiland’s side project The Magnificent Bastards covered “How Do You Sleep?” and the Layne Staley/Mike McCready project Mad Season covered “I Don’t Wanna Be A Soldier” on Working Class Hero: A Tribute To John Lennon.
In July of 1996 AIC replaces STP as the opening band for Kiss, due to Scott Weiland’s drug problems.
On November 6, 2001 Jerry Cantrell performs …read more

Chris Cornell @ The Borgata

Chris Cornell @ The Borgata

Chris Cornell rocked the Borgata’s Music Box on July 27 .
Former Audioslave and Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell put on a phenomenal show in Atlantic City. It didn’t hurt that the Music Box was a immaculate venue at the beautiful Borgata. It only held around 900 people, so there wasn’t a bad seat in the house.
Cornell’s vocals have been amazingly restored, after he stopped smoking and drinking. I remember seeing Audioslave back in 2003 and thinking that Chris Cornell’s days were numbered, but he proved me wrong last night . The band that he assembled was also impressive, after all they …read more

FYI: Chris Cornell

FYI: Chris Cornell

Last week Chris Cornell celebrated a birthday (July, 20) and he’s currently on tour promoting his second album, Carry On. So, it seems fitting to share some FYI on Chris Cornell.

Chris Cornell started piano lessons at a very early age, but he disliked the lessons so he taught himself. By age 8 he had enough music to play a full set with a music teacher for the music faculty at the University of Washington.
Cornell left high school at age 15 and worked as a cook.
At age 9 he found a collection of Beatles albums in a friends basement and listened …read more
