Boot Camp is an incredible song. Really ends Down On The Upside very well.
Yeah, damn... they had a bunch of good fucking songs.

Yes it is. I've just come back from the doctor diagnosing me with a medium degree depression and putting me on antidepressants. I had beaten it a few years ago, but my life has been so full of negative that it has come back, and I've been suffering for more than two years now, and today was the day that I decided to try and fight it again.

Thank you guys. The doctor was recommending I should go for stationary treatment for six weeks, but I can't. My wife would definitely leave me, and in a week and a half I'm starting training with the goal of learning a new job, via the local employment office. I'm afraid of the medicine, and the last time I was in treatment I threw it away after a few days because it was an opioid I didn't want to take. Let's see how this stuff goes.
I was diagnosed with a medium episode a few weeks ago too and was also hesistant on taking the medicine (Citalopram) but I just had to do something about it. While it took a few weeks to fully take effect I am much better now. So go for it and don't give up after a few days as this stuff takes some time to work.
Jesus, he said that? And here I thought that man was happy as can be. But then again, that's based on how he is during his shows and interviews. He lives when on stage and you can be in a completely different mind state during a interview but just not showing it.
Depression is nothing to take lightly and is very very serious.
Rest in peace Chris.
Yes he talks about it openly in an interview on the Skavlan talkshow. Been in therapy for 30 + years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XZWmpWbinY
Also his autobiography that is written by himself, huge portions of that book is about his illness. Its a real tearjerker that book.

Pretty sure I'm just listening to Chris for a good week.
Any newbies with Spotify/Apple, I implore you to start at the Soundgarden page and raid that whole thing from top to bottom.
A friend of mine can be a bit..... inconsiderate is probably the right word. Basically he says "yeah ok, so a talented artist I have never heard of was depressed and is now dead. It sucks but maybe we should be thinking more of all the children in war torn countries fighting for their lives each and every day." and basically he always says something similar whenever a well known artist or actor dies. Like when Robin Williams passed away, Prince, Bowie and so on. His tune was a bit different when MJ passed away but only because he was aware of my appreciation for the man.
I just don't understand this kind of logic. Terrible things happen daily, hell probably ever single minute in this world but that doesn't make this any less insignificant or anything. It's clear that we think in a very different way about certain things.
a lot of rumours flying around that he accidentally choked himself with a rubber tube whilst trying to get a vein on his neck for a heroin hit rather than trying to actually commit suicide.
Why would you shoot heroin into your neck?
But realistically this has actually just garnered a pseudo-intellectual outrage about people being upset. As with the poster you've quoted I've seen incredibly pretentious remarks every time people die. Shit, at least on my Facebook I'm far more likely to see people making comments like the poster you quoted has seen than I am actually seeing people being upset.The general mass hysteria in social media over famous people dying in the past 3-4 years has hit a point of absurdity if I am honest. I appreciate these people make magnificent work which has an impact on them. But the hysteria is completely hyperbolic and does a lot more damage than good. People need to get their shit together to an extent.

I just don't get why people care if other people are upset other than using it as a jumping off point to make themselves feel clever and superior. I really don't see any evidence of 'hysteria', just a lot of people reflecting on the loss of a person which, through art, made a big impact on their lives. Music isn't just some arbitrary background thing, people find comfort in it; form their identities around and and, most of all, connect with the artists themselves. Of course people are upset but claiming there's 'hyperbolic hysteria' is quite ironically hyperbolic.

It would be obvious to the police and examiner if this was the case, or if he accidentally choked doing erotic asphyxiation. I'm not sure why they wouldn't just say that's what happened.

4th of July is one of my absolute favorites. So good.
Mine too. Story behind it is crazy.
Or maybe I just feel bad for his kids, but thanks for the judgement.
Yeah, he definitely seems...different. It's hard to describe, but you can see it in the video.He didn't seem right during the last show, I have to wonder if he was on something, perhaps that influenced his state of mind leading to the end? Rest in piece Chris, thank you for sharing your gift with us man.
D:Here's a nice look at Cornell and Vedder doing "Hunger Strike" about two decades after they first broke onto the scene. They look happy together.

Cross posting thisThe thing with Staley and Weiland is that they were so self destructive for so long, that their young deaths had a "cushion" of being expected, at least I was "mentally prepared" for their passings. This one is just out of nowhere, his demons never really bleeding into his professional/public life, it makes it tougher to get it out of my head.
Chris Cornell and Robin Williams.
I can't get this shit out of my head. Life is bearable until it isn't.
Shadow of the Sun gets me every time.
I don't believe Layne or Weiland killed themselves via suicide. They both OD'd after years of drug use, but didn't end it like CobainDamn, the lead singers of Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden all dead from suicide (although not all intentional). That's fucking tragic. Eddie Vedder is the only one left.
His wife issued a statement, and apparently when they spoke over the phone he said he thought he may have taken an overdose of his anti-anxiety medication:

If this were true (meaning his veins had collapsed and had to inject into the neck), he'd probably have visible needle marks on his arms/hands. Considering he was wearing a t shirt at the show and there doesn't appear to be anything, I think it's just dumb speculation.
Look at Staley, he wore sweaters and gloves to hide his condition. I've never done heroin but I think when people are using they try to cover it up.

Stanley basically committed suicide though. Dude was in a terrible spot when he died.I don't believe Layne or Weiland killed themselves via suicide. They both OD'd after years of drug use, but didn't end it like Cobain

Yeah. Linkin Park isn't good.Heres the higher quality version of the performance Linkin Park did last night on Jimmy Kimmel in tribute of Chris Cornell:
