lol. yeah maybe i will check that out....is it free?
also, what bands has chris been in besides audioslave and soundgarden?

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]I have most of Chris down pat(especially in audioslave),
[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I can nail that stuff, even with my lack of experience and knowledge; I think he's pretty much blown out his voice by now. Listen to "Louder Than Love", "Ultramega OK" or the EP "Screaming Life" for some serious stuff...if you can handle some of those songs without breaking a sweat I'll be well impressed.

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]I havent really heard much from that OK album.[/QUOTE]
Well I don't know what album the song "Beyond The Wheel" is on, I think it's Ultramega OK, but try and get hold of that song, that'll give you an idea of what I'm talking about. (I think his voice actually lost some of it's range by the time he did Badmotorfinger, so you can imagine how good the vocals are on that album!)

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]i just had to rebuy Badmotorfinger (is it better than Badmotorfinger??) last weak cause i lost my last one.[/QUOTE]

I'd say songwriting-wise it's not as good, but the instrumental performances are probably slightly worse, but the vocals are better.

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]i love Superunknown, and listen to like suicide 'bout everyday. He does use alot of mixed voice for higher stuff, especially scream type stuff. you just cant blow alot of air behind a high head voice note to get decent rasp without the cords opening up anyways so you might as well do it properly to minimize fatigue. However he does use alot of pure head voice and not as much pure falsetto as i believe people think.
[/QUOTE]

I think he uses mixed voice a lot, he's just clever about it. I've heard the early demos on the Sub Pop compilation called "Deep Six", back when Soundgarden were just starting out...his voice was, putting it bluntly, nothing special back then. If you hear the same song done on the "Screaming Life" EP, it sounds about a hundred times better. I don't know what he did to improve his technique so much between that recording and the next, but I'd sure like to!

Will do....

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]sounds very cool and interesting. i would be even more interesting if you stick around, since this is your first post. that way we might know that youre not just secretely advertising. hehe. if you are, its a **** good job though! heh[/QUOTE]

I really like the program, and there are things about it I don't like as well, but they are minor. The bottom line is the program really helped me out...
I paid $80 for it off their web site. The notation program was $50
Hmmmm, maybe I should charge THEM for plugging it!

Thanks session 9.
and hey, rems came back! :lol:

yea, maybe you should get a little cut!

Chris Cornell sang most lead in Temple Of The Dog, Except the song Hunger Strike (Eddie Vedder)

He sang Backup on that song though, You can hear him, clear as day

[QUOTE=CrazyConductor]Chris Cornell sang most lead in Temple Of The Dog, Except the song Hunger Strike (Eddie Vedder)[/QUOTE]
gotcha, ty.

God , the man is just a genius on guitar though. i dont understand how someone can just move through the progression he does sometimes. I mean, i know there are alot of comparable players out there, but i dont know them because im not really a guitar playing officianado. Im partial to his work because it has so many elements and styles in any given song.

Sweet Euphoria just sounds like the sun is rising to me and youre just waking up. not because he hints to it in his lyrics, but the music is like a soundtrack to the feeling he's talking about.

...sigh..

you inspired me to download that song. i have never heard it before.

is it buy audioslave or chris cornell? or what?

chris cornell...solo album 2000 i think, Euphoria Morning

just listened to it at the local airport watching planes , then i came back and played it. Im starting to use a pick now, i never use them and its not easy for me, haha. but after i though about it, i need it to play that song like he plays it.

Im sure you'll hear it and be like , thats not too much. But its just the feel, i dont know. The man just does it for me.

Like suicide acoustic is good too, and preaching the end of the world, sweet sunshower.

he wrote most of the stuff for Soundgarden too, which i think is an ego thing related to why they split up, if im not mistaken :wave:

I believe that Kim Thayil Put some of his tracks on the Probot album (Speaking of soundgarden Gutarists), He was a really good guitarist, Very original... Now that were on the Topic, Anyone like the Singing on the Probot Album /em loved it Especially Snake from Voivod... Kick *** Track

i couldn't find that sweet euphoria song, but i downloaded about 7 other songs by him. they are good. :)

IM sure its out there. IM always recording myself playing it, maybe i'll send you my version if i ever get around to recording it again.

Did you know that Chris Cornell originally played drums and Sang for soundgarden... That bastard...

aite cool.

If you like that song merkaba-1, you'll probably like the one he did called "Sunshower". It's on the soundtrack to the movie "Singles", but I'm sure you can pick it up somewhere. I think it's as good an acoustic ballad as "Sweet Euphoria" is, if not better, and it has the same kind of feel.

[QUOTE=CrazyConductor]Did you know that Chris Cornell originally played drums and Sang for soundgarden... That bastard...[/QUOTE]

yep, said he didnt like the whole singing and playing drums thing. too **** much going on

dark as roses, and fine as sand
I feel your healing and your sting again
cuts like anguish or, recollections
of better days, gooooone by
but its allllright
when youre all in pain
and you feeeel the rain coooome down
oh its alright
when you find your waaay and you seeee it disappearrrr
its alri-e-yight
though your garden's grey, i know all your graces
some day will flower in another world....another worrrld
in the sweet sunshooowwwwerrrrrrr

can you play it by the way?

[QUOTE=Merkaba-1]can you play it by the way?[/QUOTE]

Yup, I use cornell's solo stuff (and some soundgarden) to warm up the old vocal chords and fingers. Mailman is my usual choice of SG song, and Sunshower is the Solo song. I sometimes do Like a Stone as well.

let's call this thread 'chris cornell'

yep, usually i might warm up(vocals) with Cant change me, preaching the end of the world, sweet euphoria, I am the highway, Pillow of bones helps get my upper range warmed up more. I love the album so much i usually just use it as part of my warm up, every day, as i am about to do in a few minutes. Oh, like suicide is another of my favorites. tried to play it on acoustic but it doesnt sound the same as his cause i think he overdubs his acoustic version.

Ahoy. Im kinda seeking advice, i think. I have my own band, and I am the vocalist. Ive screamed before to hatebreed at a talent show, everyone said i sounded like jamey jasta, but i dunno, but i think we are going to aim to sound like a.f.i. or the used or somewhere around that. When i was screaming, i got short of breathe often. i start to feel dizzy and stuff. Does anybody have any advice or any ways they can help??
Thanks,
ColtNess

(oh, my band's name is LastChance.)

merk, i found that sweet euphoria song, it's great. i know what u mean when u say 'it does it for me' lol. everlong acoustic 'does it for me'

[QUOTE=H4Z4RD0US]what if i want a deep voice like...james hettfield or something, how can i practice that, my normal talking tone is pretty deep[/QUOTE]

singing and screaming
 

hey, I'm a singer for a band in my neighberhood. I sing alright, I take lessons and I'm doing fine. The problem is that I can't scream. I would like to sing like the bands Silverstein, and matchbook romance, or somewhere around there, but My screaming doesn't sound catchy. are there any tips for that. thanks

^well, the whole topic is about it..........you could at least see the other pages, you know...

warming down:
my vocal teacher says start from a high note and slide down to a lower note.
do you all do this when you warm down...err...cool down?
lol, what else?

^ well, thats what i have in all of my posts! well, the ones that im "un-lazy" enough to write it out for the umpteenth time instead of just saying warm down. hehe
