---[ CHRIS CORNELL ]---

...the owner of one of the most glorious upper-register shrieks in rock music --
JANE STEVENSON -- Toronto Sun

Former lead singer of Soundgarden. This guy, in the visual sense is absolutely captivating. His face is so expressive you can't take your eyes off him. If you've never heard him sing you're in for a jolt. He has all sorts of range, but it's when he does what I call his "Mariah Carey routine" that he really takes off. Chris can hit the highest notes I've ever heard a rock star go, you feel like tearing the headsets off your ears when this guy cuts loose. He really is Mariah Carey's male counterpart. When he's performing you see all the emotion he pours into his performance. Chris is also responsible for some of the best lyrics I've ever heard in a song, like this for example, from the EXCELLENT song MAILMAN:

Hello don't you know me
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I've seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
I know that you
Would do the same for me

I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

For all of your kisses turned
To spit in my face
For all that reminds me
Which is my place
For all of the times when
You made me disappear
This time I'm sure you will
Know that I'm here

I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

My place was beneath you
But now I'm above
And now I send you a message
Of love
A simple reminder of what
You won't see
A future so holy without me

I know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

Fucking-A man!!! The guy is perfect Carpenter material, he is that cool. Hell he could do the entire soundtrack ablbum on his own with the sort of songs he writes. JC could still be in charge of the main synthesizer score he does of course ;) I still consider Chris Cornell to be my most favorite candidate for a role in one of THE CROW film series as the dead hero brought back to life.

So do you think Chris Cornell is a good choice? Do you agree or disagree with me? Let me know what you think. If you want to see a particular person appear in a John Carpenter film let me know who it is and I'll start up another page dedicated to actors that viewers of this site want to see in a JC film.
