Subject: Re: Chris's Voice Yeah, he did sound more like Sammy Hager or somone than Chris when performing that song. But in fairness, that's pretty much how the song is on the album too. It's supposed to be sung that way. Listen to Burden in my Hand on the same show and you'll hear that Chris's voice was fine. I have often thought though, that one of the other possible reasons that Soundgarden spilt up is because Chris has lost a lot of the power from his voice. He just can't seem to sing those old Soundgarden songs live anymore as well as they should be. It's even in evidence on Down on the Upside. He never really stretch's out his range like he did with old songs like Slaves and Bulldozers and Beyond the Wheel. Anyone else notice this?

When I first really heard SG live, it was a short clip from Lolla '96 on MTV. I must say Spoonman sounded like shit. To me. Then. But you have to realize, studio singing, and live singing/recording are two completely different animals. In the studio you get a lot of takes, plus you get to mess with it later. Live is... well, live! Certain few songs just do not sound that good live, Pretty Noose being one. Spoonman as I mentioned took some getting used to. But then I realized how well he does a lot of others. I have not heard a bootleg where Chris does not just NAIL Searching (etc.). I also have a boot from the show in Sacramento (12/4/96) that I went to, and there is the most AWESOME version of Outshined on there, just awesome.... I get that version stuck in my head more than the studio track. And finally.. on the Chris not stretching his range out thing: He sings just as high on Karaoke, Bleed Together, and Never the Machine as he did on S&B or BTW. I've got the notes to prove it. (P.S. the very popular LIVE version of BTW is fucking amazing.......way better than the studio track.)

I was driving to a meeting in Rochester today, and as i flipped through the radio stations....i left it on some Classic Rock station and this familiar song came on...like every single classic rock song. It's either background music or some beer or burger king commercial. Anyway...i'm driving along and i hear the phrase..."Like a sweet sunshower". No, it's not Chris Cornell...it's REO Speedwagon! The title is "Roll with the Changes". I know CC is a huge Classic rock fan. Maybe this is some crypic message for his first post SG single? Robert Plant sang, "I can breathe again" in the song "Little by Little". A direct reference that he was finally happy being a solo artist and not in the shadow of the zeppelin. I think Sting did the same thing. So, what i'm saying...maybe CC found the inspiration for the title to Sunshower in the REO Speedwagon song. It makes sense if you listen to the lyrics.

Those are some pretty piercing high parts. But we all have to realize that Chris used to scream a lot too, which he stopped doing pretty much after BMF. I mean look at the screaming found on the Deep Six CD, its all screaming, as the band progressed the singing style progressed. The music could have progressed with out Chris singing as high as he did in the past, and it still would have been Soundgarden. Higher isnt better, and really shouldnt be grounds for a band to break up. You just mold the music differently.

My reason for coming to this conclusion is that the actual music on the album has changed from the older days as well, and his voice changes to fit this newer style perfectly. This is evident on the songs written by all members of the band. Just my humble opinion, Barry White ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Apr 1999 21:26:03 -0700 From: "J.C." Subject: Re: Chris' Voice > But you have to realize, studio singing, and live > singing/recording are two > completely different animals. In the studio you get > a lot of takes, plus you > get to mess with it later. Live is... well, live! I'll tell you what annoys me like HELL!!! When people hear a snippet of Soundgarden performing live, and maybe Chris's voice isn't at it's best, they automatically right him off. They'll say that he 'only sounds good in the studio' and 'isn't really a good singer'. That's just such total bullshit. You can't fake that, if you could, then there would be 50 bands out their with vocals like Chris's on their records. > Certain few songs just do not sound that good live, > Pretty Noose being one. I think Pretty Noose (and Spoonman) still sounds great live, even with the slightly weak singing. It's always been the instrumentation in that song that makes it rock, and, as far as I know, more often than not, that always sounds BETTER live. And when Chris is on form with the vocals, he sounds BETTER live in most of the songs too. > And finally.. on the Chris not stretching his range > out thing: He sings just > as high on Karaoke, Bleed Together, and Never the > Machine as he did on S&B or > BTW. I've got the notes to prove it. In those songs he may hit the notes. But he doesn't get the power or intensity that he exhibited on, Badmotorfinger, for example. I mean on a song like New Damage, it's almost too much! That said, I prefer Down on the Upside over Badmotorfinger as a whole. Just to try and clarify somewhat on what I said before about Soundgarden maybe disbanding partially because Chris's voice is getting weaker. I think it goes in part with how they were always careful to stay true to what they perceived as Soundgarden's 'sound'. Part of that is undoubtably Chris's intense wail. Now perhaps he can't do it like he used to anymore, which is totally understandable. Apparently Pavoritti's time is running out too :o). But perhaps he just doesn't want to sing like that anymore, and doesn't want to go on tour after tour and keep on doing it. They could have radiacally changed the sound of the band, but I dont' think they wanted to do that. They decided it was better to end the band where it was, and each go on and do whatever it was they wanted, but keep Soundgarden to stand for what it always had. Well that's just a theory, I ain't saying it's right. I hope it made sense. Jay. === 'Our audience is pretty diverse.
