Chris Cornell

I've seen Soundgarden live 6 times and towards the end Chris was really starting to abuse his voice live. On his solo tour he was singing more and yelling less. I think he realized (or was told) that he'd lose his voice completely if he kept it up. His regular singing voice is amazing. I hope he finds the right outlet for it.
 
I heard the leaked civilian album and was extremely dissapointed, I am not much a fan of RATM but I do respect Cornell and this was pretty bad. It seemed like a bunch of jumbled up low rate songs in an attempt to do something "different" didn't work, especially on the slow "ballad" songs *barf*
