Just Got Back from Chris Cornell and Linkin Park

[ian1988]

Chris Cornell opened up for Linkin Park.. That guy is a MACHINE.. his vocals are SPOT on.. and his drummer was a solid one as well!

They played Audioslave, Soundgaren covers as well as Chris' own solo stuff.

Played on a Ludwig Kit.. Looked like Bonham Sizes.. and had Paiste Cymbals

GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!!

Linkin Park came out after and I was an INTENSE concert! Everyone was NUTS and they played pretty much EVERY hit.

Opened with Given Up... Closed off with Faint... and came back on and did In the End, One Step Closer and finished it off with a extended version of Bleed It Out!

Rob tried doing a drum solo... but really it wasnt impressive. He's a solid drummer but the solo had no chops whatsoever... it was just grooving with the odd massive fill in the process... lasted whole of 1 min!

Overall a GOOD NIGHT! Might load some pics later!

Wait, Cornell played Audioslave songs? Morello writes almost all of the songs, bar some lyrics.

i saw Linkin Park on project revolution. Rob did a solo then too, and I was pretty impressed. Not a chopsy solo, but it wasnt just drum beats either
They guy keeps time really well. He literally is a human metronome. And Linkin Park is amazing in concert
