Sun, 29 Apr 2007 Tonight I saw Chris Cornell at Stubb's. Holy shit. He played songs from Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave, and his solo album, as well as covers of Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, and—I shit you not—"Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson as a bluesy rock song. Cornell is a great performer and a seemingly nice guy. He interacted well with the audience and drove the emotional state of the crowd perfectly. In addition, umm, holy shit does he have some pipes. He didn't even get really warmed up until "Hunger Strike" or so, and by the time he hit his stride and belted out "What You Are," I knew we were in for a treat. "Rusty Cage" and "Pretty Noose" later, we were basically going nuts, and they finished off the show with 5 or 6 encores, including "Black Hole Sun" and "Jesus Christ Pose." His new stuff sounds really cool; can't wait for the album! [ permalink | 0 comments (add one you lazy bastard!) ] writebacks (add one you lazy bastard!)post a comment: |
